"Misleading or unethical" to the ones who close their eyes and refuse to see and test both sides of the fence. "Misleading or unethical" to the ignorant/blind ones.

The information they provide is misleading and contradicts medical evidence. It seems to be based in conspiracy theory and fear mongering and poses a risk to family health decisions made by young parents.

Antivaxxers, are some of the most undereducated, and misguided people in developed nations. Our responsibility as a community is to help people with these emotive irrational decisions, inclusive of all medical professionals. What irony, a GP, would model the very behaviour these anti-vaxxers despise. Yet be caught by, while claiming this is rife in our corporate suppliers to the PBS in Australia. The human fallibility surrounding this issue is inane, life threatening and very cruel on many levels.

Anti-science, pro-disease website. They were forced to change their name from the AVN to AVSN because of misleading claims.

This site contains misleading and dangerous misinformation about vaccines. Avoiding it is recommended, unless you are a skeptic and know what you are doing.

A vile site - every possible lie about vaccination can be found here. This site is trying to bring back the diseases which used to kill and cripple children.

The AVN foster science denial and are strongly anti-vacination. They have often masqueraded as a semi-official consumer group, and engaged in practices such as inserting their literature, unauthorised, into medical settings; providing false information to media outlets and lying to government regulatory authorities. they collected membership fees and magazine subscriptions without supplying any product. They have engaged in "fundraising" for persons on the run for contempt of court, then not actually supplied any funds for their legal defense with no explanation to the donors.

One of the worst sites I have come across for misleading information and straight-forward scaremongering. I heard recently that they have had a court order to change their name as it in itself misleading! They inserted the term "Skeptic", irony of ironies! Vulnerable parents of small children should not be subject to this crap. It is difficult enough being a young parent without having to endure this stuff. Anybody stumbling on this site for the first time should have the Skeptics "Bendy Spoon" Winners statement flashed up: Australian Skeptics "Bent Spoon Award" The Australian Skeptics awarded their Bent Spoon Award, "presented annually to the perpetrator of the most preposterous piece of paranormal or pseudoscientific piffle", to Meryl Dorey and the AVN in 2009, stating that the award had been earned through their "scaremongering and misinformation about childhood vaccination".

Get over it!! There are other truths to consider.

A very misleading site which then incites its followers to stalk, ban and attack critics.

Dreadful site that actively seeks to scare people away from vaccination, while pretending to offer "unbiased vaccination advice". It misrepresents the evidence & it links to thoroughly discredited sources. This is a very dangerous site - the "information" it disseminates kills children. I've rated it "hate, discrimination" because they promote the most shameful of anti-vaccine lies: They claim Shaken Baby Syndrome is caused by vaccines! No, damn you, you filthy lying scum! SBS is caused by child abusers who beat, shake, and torture defenceless infants, and your obscene lies are giving an out to criminals who deserve to rot in jail for their crimes. I've said it's "potentially illegal" because the Australian courts have repeatedly ordered it to change its name because it is false and misleading. It has yet to do so. I've said it's a scam because it has had its charitable body license rescinded yet it still touts for donations. One of the very worst anti-vax sites on the web, full of lies, conspiracy theories and propaganda. Avoid.

Claims to be a forum for discussion about vaccination, but only presents one side of the issue and vehemently attacks those who try to present evidence-based pro-vaccine information.

This site attacks those who use vaccinations, saying that vaccinations cause Autism, ADHD, Asthma and Schizophrenia. These claims are obviously not true and the supporters of the site will attack those who oppose the AVN's views. Another thing is that the AVN hates Science and will not tolerate Science, including the benefits of vaccinations. Do not visit the site, as the site uses 5 trackers to monitor your usage of the site. Also this site has been known to track down those who oppose the views of the AVN and to send them threats. Advertisements are fortunately not present on the site.

A fantastic site - an exemplary platform of free speech, accurate information and a reliable source of honest unbiased information if you are a parent or anyone wanting to examine your own informed medical consent. The negative comments as far as I have read are highly biased and utterly uninformed, with several I would suspect are spam. If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear - that is what we are so often told today, so why does that not apply to the pharmaceutical industry and the governments that it basically owns and writes legislation for them to pass. What is wrong with looking at the other side of the coin? Proponents of vaccination will say that you are jeopardizing the safety and health of children but is that true? A closer examination in my experience reveals that is not the case at all. In my opinion WOT is clearly being abused by people who against this lady and the group and it's message not for any legitimate reason but simply because they can hack / rig this system to have this site incorrectly come up as something that is harmful or otherwise dangerous.

Yet another site slanted against vaccination without providing fair-balanced information. Heavily biased against vaccination and for conspiracy theories and scare tactics. Look elsewhere for reasonable information.

This valuable natural-health information website is very safe to surf and has excellent information on the vaccine dangers we are never told about by our doctors. It's getting an erroneous low rating because pharmaceutical industry paid shills are incorrectly down-rating it as they don't want you being made aware or scared by the many harmful ingredients that actually ARE in vaccines, the many allergies and chronic illnesses (sometimes lethal) that are caused by the OTT vaccine schedule, and they just want to censor the truth about the VERY REAL vaccine dangers. Their website has excellent information that every parent should read BEFORE considering getting their child vaccinated according to the extremely exorbitant, scientifically untested and unsafe vaccination schedule. Learn now - don't regret later. Educate yourself before you vaccinate your children. You will be glad that you did.

Anti-science anti-immunization misinformation

The 1 report that linked vaccination to autism has been universally recognised by experts for years to be wrong and was been withdrawn from science journals. Without vaccination there would be more preventable disease and death. Any parent who fails to vaccinate their children is cruel and inhuman and greedy, risking a slow and painful death of their child and others.
