Ms Tenpenny made headlines in Australia in January, when she cancelled her Australian tour due to what she alleged to be 'safety and security' concerns.
She had planned to visit Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane alongside fellow campaigner Stephanie Messenger to share her views that vaccines are linked to autism, asthma and auto-immune diseases.
The overwhelming majority of scientific and medical evidence supports the benefits of vaccines. In 2014, a major international review found no evidence linking the development of autism with commonly-used vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough.
In March last year, the Australian Vaccination-Skeptics Network lost its charity status over concerns it could adversely affect children's health. The group was also forced to insert the word "skeptics" into their name over claims their title was misleading.
