Chiropractor banned over ‘Nazi’ anti-vax comments
The Melbourne-based chiropractor criticised Australia’s childhood immunisations as 'poison' in a social media interview
A chiropractor who railed against Australia’s ‘Nazi vaccination regime’ and screened an anti-vax movie in his clinic has been banned for six months.
In November 2016 Melbourne-based Simon Floreani called vaccines “poisons” while participating in a YouTube video called the ‘Nazi Vaccine Regime in Australia’, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal heard.
In the video interview he complained people were being forced to secretly screen Andrew Wakefield’s controversial movie Vaxxed: From Cover-up to Catastrophe, which most cinemas refused to show, in their own homes.
He went on to claim there was not “one shred of evidence” to show the efficacy of childhood vaccination or that “people are safe and our kids are safe” from vaccinations.
