Anti-vaxxer group compares childhood immunization to rape

In an atmosphere where anti-vaxx activists are only slightly more popular than polio but are considerably less popular than the measles, now comes another shrill blast from an anti-vaxx group which has compared immunizing children to rape.

Yes, they went there.

The Australian Vaccination Skeptics Network (AVSNI) posted a graphic to their Facebook page on Wednesday — since taken down — with an ALL CAP headline reading: “FORCED PENETRATION.”

Then this:

“Really- no big deal, if it’s just a vaccination needle, and he’s a doctor. Do you really ‘need’ control over your own choices?”

A screen capture was taken by Australian Women’s Weekly , preserving it for posterity and according to AWW the anti-vaccination group doubled down when called out on Facebook, writing, “This post isn’t tasteless – it is honest. What truly IS tasteless is our elected government trying to tell us that we have to vaccinate our children even if we don’t believe it is best for their health.”

The Australian Vaccination Skeptics Network is a more honest organizational name that my extended family member's National Vaccine Information Center.
