This is an exciting and wonderful time. We wish you well on your journey of parenthood. We trust you have come to this information because of your desire to know more and to make the best possible choice for the health of your new born child. We commend you on your commitment to making an informed decision and on your willingness to fully embrace the responsibility of parenthood. We believe the decision of whether to vaccinate your new born child is one of the most difficult decisions you will be asked to make as a parent. We wish this decision wasn’t so difficult. Unfortunately it is. The politicized nature of the vaccine debate and the lack of balanced reporting in the media make it difficult for parents to have access to sufficient information to make an informed choice.

  • CBC Complaint – Lack of Journalistic Integrity 1
    May 29, 2018 CBC Ombudsman P.O. Box 500 Station A Toronto, Ontario M5W 1E6 To the Attention of: Esther Enkins, CBC Ombudsman ([email protected]) Dear Ms. Enkins, I’m writing to register another formal complaint about the lack of journalistic integrity, accuracy, and honesty by the Canadian Broadcast Corporation. Specifically, I wish to bring to your attention the May 24, 2018 article written by CBC journalist Ms. Bethany Lindsay - Complaints leveled at B.C. naturopaths offering 'complete elimination' of autism. (https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4675461) The CBC consistently reports on homeopathy in a manner that disregards their own stated commitment to act responsibly, to be accountable, and to strive for accuracy, fairness, balance, impartiality and integrity. This article is similar to many other articles by the CBC on homeopathy. The consistency in their manner of reporting indicates a more systemic problem at the CBC. The CBC persists in inviting the opinions of individuals who have no working knowledge, research knowledge, or expertise in the area of homeopathy. Inviting Inexpert Opinions Pat Mirenda is a professor of educational and counseling psychology and special education. My research on Ms. Mirenda provides no indication that Ms. Mirenda is knowledgeable or qualified to provide a professional opinion on the effectiveness of homeopathy. It appears that Ms. Mirenda’s opinion that CEASE therapy is “totally bogus” or that "None of that is true, none of that is evidence-based" is not based on sound evidence-based research and is purely the opinion of a professor of educational and counseling psychology. Similarly, Vancouver pediatrician Dr.

Nevertheless, misinformation regarding vaccine ingredients circulates on various media platforms and may negatively influence parental decisions regarding childhood vaccinations. Three vaccine ingredients commonly associated with parental vaccine concerns include polysorbate 80, aluminum, and thimerosal. Common misconceptions about polysorbate 80 and neurological sequela exist within the vaccine hesitant community. Additionally, aluminum has been incorrectly connected to chronic disease in children.

  • Thesis Template
    WHY DO WE ARGUE ABOUT SCIENCE? EXPLORING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL ANTECEDENTS OF REJECTION OF SCIENCE JOHN RICHARD KERR A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington for the fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2020 Abstract Science is recognised and accepted as an important tool for understanding the world in which we live, yet some people hold beliefs that go against the best available scientific evidence. For example, many people believe human-caused climate change is not occurring, or that vaccines are ineffective and dangerous. Previous research has investigated a range of possible drivers of this ‘rejection of science’ (Lewandowsky, Oberauer, & Gignac, 2013), including ignorance, distrust of scientists, and ideological motivations. The studies in this thesis extend this line of inquiry, focusing first on the role of perceptions of scientific agreement. I report experimental evidence that people base their beliefs on ‘what they think scientists think’ (Study 1). However, an analysis of longitudinal data (Study 2) suggests that our personal beliefs may also skew our perceptions of scientific agreement. While the results of Study 1 and Study 2 somewhat conflict, they do converge on one finding: perceptions of consensus alone do not fully explain rejection of science. In the remainder of the thesis I cast a wider net, examining how ideological beliefs are linked to rejection of science. Study 3 draws on social media data to reveal that political ideology is associated with rejection of science in the context of who people choose to follow on the platform Twitter. A final set of studies (4, 5, and 6) examine the role of two motivational antecedents of political ideology, Right-wing Authoritarianism (RWA) and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO), in rejection of science across five publicly debated issues.

I understand there is a council meeting on Tuesday and I’m wondering if this can be brought up? Specifically to make a point that there is no pandemic. https://vaccinechoicecanada.com/in-the-news/open-letter-to-dr-bonnie-henry-from-dr-stephen-malthouse/ Beyond this letter I have concerns that we are headed towards more severe lockdowns based only on propaganda and removal of individuals by force from their families to be sent to “internment camps”. I also have concerns about “forced compliance” of liability free vaccines that will surely cause enormous harm. I have mounds of evidence and am thinking of having an open house at my place to help share this info with people… not sure if that will do anything, I am kind of at a loss right now.

  • Social Services Legislation Amendment (No Jab, No Pay) Bill 2015
    Submission: Social Services Legislation Amendment (No Jab, No Pay) Bill 2015 Overview: Government health policy should support the basic human right of informed consent to medical treatment. The coercive No Jab, No Pay policy denies us this right. There is significant historical, scientific and medical evidence that does not support government vaccination policy. Furthermore, vaccination policy is often informed by powerful vested interests and fraudulent studies, rather than independent, unbiased scientific evidence. Much of this evidence has been suppressed by pro-vaccine lobby groups, particularly pharmaceutical companies and others with vested interests, and by the mainstream media. So well has it been hidden that many (if not most) medical practitioners are not aware of this evidence. Scientists, medical practitioners and whistleblowers who are aware and speak out risk vilification, being ostracized, and even their careers - which is certainly a deterrent to others speaking out. These issues will be discussed in more detail below, with supporting evidence. 1. Informed Consent to Medical Treatment: The Medical Board of Australia's Code of Conduct for Doctors states in part: Informed consent is a person’s voluntary decision about medical care that is made with knowledge and understanding of the benefits and risks involved. See: http://www.medicalboard.gov.au/Codes-Guidelines-Policies/Code-of-conduct.aspx The "Australian Immunisation Handbook, 10th Edition" states in part: For consent to be legally valid, the following elements must be present: 1. It must be given by a person with legal capacity, and of sufficient intellectual capacity to understand the implications of being vaccinated. 2. It must be given voluntarily in the absence of undue pressure, coercion or manipulation.
