In a press release issued on August 28, titled “Swine flu indemnity - why there are concerns about this vaccine”, the Australian Vaccination Network links an issue over medical practitioners’ indemnity with concerns about ingredients and past practices, as well as drawing in claims about past issues with vaccines. In response, Eran Segev, president of Australian Skeptics, has warned that “The AVN is taking advantage of the current situation over insurance indemnity for the Swine Flu vaccine in order to spread fear and alarm about vaccinations in general.” feedback@thepunch.com.au (Tim Mendham) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/swine-flu-madness-fuels-bogus-vaccination-claims/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/swine-flu-madness-fuels-bogus-vaccination-claims/#item1099 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 19:25:19 +0000 Tim Mendham | Author bios | The Punch
