The Merseyside Skeptics Society (MSS) is a group based in Merseyside, UK which calls itself

a non-profit organisation which aims to develop and support the skeptical community on Merseyside. The society was founded in February 2009 and holds regular social events in Liverpool City Centre.[1]

The group runs a website called merseysideskeptics.org.uk. Its founder is Mike Hall, who registered the web domain on 30 January 2009.[2]

Activities

The MSS, in its website section called AntiAntiVax, defends vaccinations of many types against their critics.[3]

It criticizes alternative and complementary therapies/medicines and has prominent links (headed "Great Resources"[4]) to the Quackwatch website, Skeptic magazine, and the James Randi Educational Foundation.[5]

There is considerable overlap in the campaigns of Sense About Science and the MSS. The MSS website has a prominent link to Sense About Science's "Keep libel laws out of science" campaign.[6]
