Welcome

Hello to you all.
"Like shooting fish in a barrel" was how one of my colleagues described my concept for this blog.  You see,  I've recently started following the Australian Vaccination Network in order to learn about vaccinations.  Unfortunately, the more I looked at it, the more I realised how biased it was.  I wrote some comments on their site, but due to the moderator most of them have not been published.   Some of the information presented was downright lies, some was just incredibly sloppy journalism - but all was evidence of a person with a grudge who preferred to see what they wanted to, and interpret "data" to bend it to their own needs.
So here we are.  This is where I will present my comments, and you can provide your comments too - all in an unmoderated environment.  Now, I'd like to keep the language decent, so can you please imagine yourself in a book club.  You're among friends, you have beliefs, and you want to discuss them, but you won't swear or belittle your friends - right?
Let me clear the air about myself though.  I am not part of a conspiracy.  I do not receive payments from an pharmaceutical company.  I do not want to brainwash you or your children.  Unfortunately I'm quite dull and uninteresting, which is similar to the evidence surrounding vaccination.  The facts are quite boring.  Quite dull.  But quite convincing.  A bit like an out-of-control truck going through your bedroom wall - not much to look at, but it sort of gets your attention.
