Judith Wilyman

Roslyn Judith "Judy" Wilyman is an Australian anti-vaccination activist who came to prominence following the controversial award of a humanities PhD titled "A critical analysis of the Australian government's rationale for its vaccination policy" by University of Wollongong.

Wilyman claims that the death rates from diseases in Australia had declined before most vaccines were introduced, leading to a suggestion that other factors may have had a role in the reduced infection rate. It is alleged in the thesis that Australia's vaccination policy follows international models, rather than being based on local conditions. In her thesis, Wilyman claims that there is a conflict of interest when research on vaccination is conducted by pharmaceutical companies. She alleges that some areas of research which relate to vaccination policy have not been examined, even though there may be value in doing so.
