The sad part is this. Tenpenny wasn't suspended because she's an utter antivax quack. She was suspended because she didn't cooperate with the state board's investigation.

The Ohio State Medical Board just approved the indefinite suspension Dr. Sherri Tenpenny's medical license, an osteopathic physician and longtime figure in the anti-vaccine movement. The board got around 350 complaints into her behavior, but that's not why she's being suspended.

Can everyone please be very very quiet and agree NOT to tell any British military companies our scum-sucking ex-PM Scott is a fuck-waffling flea-ridden grimy-arse pissant with a micro-thin skin, an even thinner intellect, a grandiose persecution complex, and a breathtaking penchant for burning every endeavour he’s ever had even the most tangential association with to the ground before anyone can say “Fuck off and die you wankstain shitlord”???

Anti-vaxxers rally behind woman denied transplant and platformed by Nine's Today show

Dr Nick Coatsworth was told he would be talking to a patient using anti-vax rhetoric as the Today episode was about to go to air.

EventBrite have pulled the plug on being a ticketing platform for the upcoming Dr Peter McCullough speaking tour. Perhaps the the Melbourne & Sydney Convention Centres should also reconsider the hiring of their venues.

We should respect the High Court's decision to acquit the dead cardinal on appeal. But that doesn't mean we need to respect the man himself.

All these men under then PM John Howard took Australia into an unjustified war in Iraq with US (Bush) and UK (Blair). They destabilised rules-based order, discredited the West, provoked world wide random reprisal terror. Yet no apology or contrition for their lethal folly.
