… minister of health keeps lying

Welcome to the Australian state of Victoria, where the minister of health, Jill Hennessy, has just put all doctors under the gun.  There are currently 41 vaccinations administered to children in Australia between birth and 4 years of age – more if you are of Aboriginal or Torres-Strait Islander descent.

Vaccinating every child has become so important to Hennessey, she’s declared that a doctor who writes an exemption will be ignored. In fact, that doctor, by implication, will be considered “rogue.”

He could have his license to practice stripped. He could be prosecuted. He could be denied a way to earn a living.

Instead, in order to allow a child an exemption from taking vaccines, evidence must be shown from some sort of medical registry. How this system will work is not clear.
