Stop the AVN spokesperson Peter Tierney stated that the venues were misled into thinking the lecture series was about child health and SIDS awareness . The seminar bookings page listed the " Get Rid of SIDS Project Inc " and the GanKinMan Foundation as sponsors . " There is no listing for the GanKinMan Foundation on the websites of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission , the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission or the Australian Business Register . " The SIDS charity is registered to Messenger 's husband , Leslie Bailey . Messenger stated that cancelling the lectures would set a bad precedent as people need to be informed and have all sides presented in order to make good parenting decisions . She said that visas should not be cancelled for someone who has done nothing wrong . " All of Dr Tenpenny 's information is referenced by medical and scientific papers ... so I do n't know what they 're trying to stop the people from seeing . " In January 2015 , the Kareela Golf and Social Club in Sydney , Australia cancelled a talk that Tenpenny had been scheduled to give there . A spokesperson for the club said that the subject matter Tenpenny was going to discuss was " too controversial for us to be involved in . " Several other Australian venues followed suit soon afterward , which led Meryl Dorey of anti-vaccination lobby group the Australian Vaccination-Skeptics Network to compare opponents of Tenpenny 's visits to Australia to the perpetrators of the Charlie Hebdo shooting . By January 19 , all eight venues at which Tenpenny was originally scheduled to speak had cancelled her seminars . Virologist David Hawkes responds to the cancellation of the lecture series by saying it " was a win for people who were concerned about public health .... " " It 's been driven by parents generally at a community level who were concerned about the emergence of diseases like whooping cough in the last few years due to less than ideal vaccination rates . " In an email to her supporters in April 2015 , Messenger asks , “ If everyone just purchased one of my books , imagine how quickly I can be out of debt for the cancelled Dr Sherri Tenpenny tour . ” Skeptic Zone reporter , Jo Alabaster stated that she has received a full refund for the lecture she was to attend . In an appearance on '' The Project '' on 6 January 2015 , Rachael Dunlop said , " Of course parents have the right to be concerned about a medical procedure , but overwhelmingly they need access to accurate , science-based information - and this is not what they will get from Doctor Tenpenny . " In December of 2017 , Messenger , in a post to her followers , encouraged them to distribute a pamphlet titled " Vaccines Killed My Baby " which details the story of her child 's death . Messenger says the purpose of this pamphlet is to not to " preac h to the converted " and provide more information on " autism , vaccine pregnancy , HPV , baby vax ingredients and side effects , flu vax , corruption in science and media , reliable websites to go to , etc. " so that " we educate our kids before the government does it for you " . In this post , Messenger said she had 160 people ready to put 1000 fliers in letterboxes in their area . She plans on distributing a total of 500,000 fliers total
