Return to Dossier of Attacks on the AVN
Dan Buzzard is a SAVN member from Western Australia who blogs, Tweets and posts many message on Facebook which are both derogatory and threatening about the AVN and its President, Meryl Dorey. Below is a selection of some of these items.
On September 2, 2012, Dan Buzzard sent out the following tweet, exhorting people to send the AVN violent pornographic messages:
If you don’t know what a goatse image is, we didn’t either. Do a Google search but do not click on the links – just read the description or you will be shocked.
In response to the page on this website regarding Daniel Raffaele’s harassment of the AVN, Buzzard had this to say:
This is indeed a human issue, which is why the AVN needs to be attacked and brought down in any way possible. I look forward to the day when anti-vaxxers are shunned and driven out of the community they threaten.
Perhaps there needs to be a national anti-vaxxer register, much like a sex offender register. So that communities can know if anti-vaxxers are living nearby.
To the State Library of WA – asking them to cancel the AVN’s seminar booking:
Dear Margaret,
I have concerns regarding the upcoming seminar on vaccination that is being presented by the Australian “Vaccination” Network, who despite their name are in fact opposed to the use of vaccination. They also engage in the spreading of misinformation in an attempt to stop parents from having their children vaccinated. Information is always important but when people such as Meryl Dorey and her organization set out to spread misinformation lives are put at risk.
As a place of information and learning I believe the State Library should make some serious reconsiderations about providing a venue for The Australian Vaccination Network. As a Librarian you will of course understand the importance of evaluating information from reliable sources. I ask that the Library look into the claims being made by the AVN and evaluate that information against credible academic journals then I am sure you will see the AVN and dishonest information they wish to spread.
Best Regards,
~Dan Buzzard

Calling all Skeptics. We know that Meryl Dorey of the Australian Vaccination Network likes to ignore government authorities and likes to claim that she is beyond their jurisdiction. With the recent Office of Liquor Gaming and Racing decision to revoke the AVN’s charity status, forbidding them from collecting donations coming into effect tomorrow (20th). The AVN will not legally be allowed to collect donations from members of the public from tomorrow onwards.
I propose that we keep a close watch on the AVN and if they do not remove their donations page tomorrow we should all send in donations and then immediately report the AVN to the OLGR for unlawful collection of donations. You can email the OLGR here: charity.inquiries@olgr.nsw.gov.au

This next comment is not specifically about the AVN. In it, Dan Buzzard discusses the reason why he and another member of Stop the AVN would be attending a homeopathic seminar in Perth:

We need to gather information so that we can pursue complaint’s with government regulators. See if we can give them the same fate as the AVN.

Meryl Dorey has got too much freetime now that she can’t do donation drives. #stopavn I would love to see her busted under US laws.
DanBuzzard: RT @drunkenmadman Antivaxers are assholes. That is all. http://bit.ly/ivafYR #stopavn Thu 05/26 06:56 AM
So Dan Buzzard is an admin on the SaAVN Facebook page then?
No?
So he ‘likes’ the page?
Yes?
That makes him a ‘member’ then and all his comments affiliated with SaAVN?
I don’t condone any of the above comments or actions and I’m swift to remove anything that appears on the SaAVN Facebook page, as are other admins.
But I fail to see how any admin from SaAVN can police the actions of an individual?
Or how the above comments or actions have ANYTHING to do with SaAVN?
By your standard everything Dan Buzzard says is condoned by EVERY page he likes on Facebook?
Again, don’t condone it, but seriously this isn’t high school. He’s an individual. Whinge about him, not SaAVN
What’s your excuse for Daniel Raffaele who IS an admin and actually started SAVN, Candice? And what’s your excuse for all of the attack posts on SAVN every single day – not just against me but against anyone who you disagree with.
Here are a few more lovely twitter quotes from our dearest Daniel :
Where he implies that the mother of a newborn who died is a child killer :

Where he refers to the ficticious ‘pile’ (of dead babies that Peter Bowditch often implied that I allegedly gained sexual fulfillment from) :

this dan obviously was over vaccinated as a child and has probably forgotten to take the other meds he may have been prescribed ! nothing a month in psych wouldn’t sort out !! he seems to have a little too much time on his hands . so much venom . if he wants to vaccinate his kids who cares ? I don’t !! a register for non vazers ?? Jesus .
