After almost 17 years of running the AVN, it is my bittersweet duty to inform you that within the next 3 – 4 weeks I will tendering my resignation as President of this great organisation and moving on to the next stage of my own personal development as mother, wife, activist and researcher.

 — Meryl Dorey

The AVN is shutting down. Or could be. Meryl has called for emergency funds, audaciously asking for 1% of members incomes to help keep the AVN running. This is an epic win for great justice. This is by no means the end of the anti-​​vaccination movement in Australia as someone could take on the position Meryl currently holds in the AVN, not to mention the various other organisations that have similar anti-​​vaccination goals.

While probably not the end of our woes, this is fantastic news for people who support science and reason in medicine.

    Frankly, I’m not holding my breath. This is a typical Meryl ploy — “it’s all just too hard, everyone is picking on me, blah blah blah blah”. She’s threatened to resign before and it all came to naught. That woman will be still be running the AVN and misleading vulnerable parents when she is six feet under.
