36 doses of vaccines targeting 14 infections BEFORE 18 MONTHS, never tested individually for safety, or proven safe given in combination, yet recommended by CDC.
Becky Hastings, wife, mother, grandmother, passionate follower of Jesus and truth. As a breastfeeding counselor for over 23 years Becky is devoted to helping parents make wise decisions for the long-term health and wellbeing of their babies. As a member of a Vaccine Safety Education Coalition, Becky writes and speaks on the topic of vaccine safety.
Estimates suggest 90% of infants are given Tylenol (aka acetaminophen). Pregnant women are encouraged that Tylenol is safe to take during pregnancy. Yet, there has been virtually no thorough investigation of the neurological consequences. There are 16 human studies which suggest brain developmental harm from use in pregnancy.
Why are pregnant women not being warned? Why are parents encouraged to give Tylenol to their babies? With impacts as serious as autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, and ADHD, surely pregnant women deserve to know that the little pill they take for pain or a headache might cause lifelong impact on their unborn baby.
Why isn’t this banned?
Toby Rogers, PhD shares that “9 studies show an association between acetaminophen (Tylenol) use & adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes (Bauer et al., 2018). Avella-Garcia (2016) & Liew et al. (2016) found that males exposed to Tylenol in utero have significantly elevated risk of autism.”
Tylenol is not the ONLY factor to adversely impact the brains of developing babies. Other toxicants at vulnerable times are implicated. “Autism is both preventable and treatable. We have fairly good data that five classes of toxicants increase autism risk:
But are there clear signals about WHICH of these creates the greatest risk?
“In the debate over toxicants that increase autism risk, all roads lead back to vaccines. At least 5 studies show a statistically significant association between vaccines & autism (Gallagher & Goodman, 2008 & 2010; Thomas & Margulis, 2016; Mawson et al., 2017a & 2017b).” Toby Rogers, PhD
I encourage you to follow Dr Rogers on Twitter. He is providing a wealth of information on this critically important topic.
In this landmark conversation (starting about 52 minutes into this episode of The Highwire) Del Bigtree and Toby Rogers, PhD discuss the financial implications of the raging autism epidemic and question why this topic is being totally ignored by key role players. This reality is going to impact every member of society.
A starting point for more info on vaccines. Comments, questions, and suggestions always encouraged.

Confessions of a zombie nurse. Here is a riveting interview with a self confessed zombie nurse. She admits to being so programmed it took personal experience of multiple injuries over many years before she finally made the connection to exactly what impact vaccines had on her own health. Unfortunately her awakening did not happen until after her first son developed autism.
Jennifer Walter’s raw honesty is incredibly helpful. She is an amazing activist NOW, but her story will help you understand the ‘pro shot mania’ clearly seen in other medical professionals who obviously care about children, but are unable to SEE the harm – even when it is right in front of their eyes.
Jennifer is now an autism recovery consultant and extremely vocal about educating parents on the harm of vaccines and what can be done about it. She is a breath of fresh air: once blind, she now sees. She is not keeping this news to herself, but wants every parent to 1) understand the harm caused by vaccines, Rhogam shots during pregnancy, and vitamin K shots at birth; and 2) help parents recover their children from the toxic impact of these injections.

Every parent wants the best for their baby. No rational parent seeks to harm their infant. The tragic death of Evee Gayle Clobes reminds us that not all babies can safely receive the one-size-fits-all vaccine schedule.
Catie Clobes describes how she missed the warning signs after each round of vaccines Evee received. The signs of adverse impact on Evee are clear in hindsight, yet Catie was given no information on what to look for. She trusted the CDC schedule recommended by her doctor. Evee tragically died 36 hours after her 6 months shots. Like many parents, Catie didn’t make the connection when it was right in front of her eyes. Please don’t ignore the warning signs. If you know anyone that continues to give vaccines, at least share this information so they can be aware of the signs.
Here is an introduction to the very short life of Evee Gayle Clobes:
“On Wednesday, February 27, 2019, Catie Clobes of Howard Lake, Minnesota brought her happy, healthy, well-developed 6-month-old baby girl Evee Gayle Clobes to her well-baby checkup, whereupon the pediatrician declared her to be in “perfect health” with no problems or concerns. After Evee was examined by her pediatrician, the nurse administered her shots according to the CDC recommended schedule – 6 doses total, via Pediarix and Prevnar.”
Science is clear that there are risks to the many routine procedures performed on babies as a “standard of care” practice in the USA and many other countries.
“…vitamin K aims at rapid lowering of the international normalized ratio (INR) into a safe range to reduce the risk of major bleeding and therefore improving patient outcome without exposing the patient to the risk of thromboembolism due to overcorrection…” (Evee’s levels were sensitive to being “overcorrected”.) American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs https://link.springer.com/article/10.2165/00129784-200404010-00005
“Parenteral vitamin K1 (phytonadione) is used for anticoagulant reversal, and a boxed warning exists with intravenous and intramuscular administration due to the possibility of severe reactions, including fatalities. These reactions resemble hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis, including anaphylactoid reaction, and have led to shock and cardiac and/or respiratory arrest.” https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1076029616674825
Cardiorespiratory
The title of a study from 2007 makes it clear that there are adverse impacts: “Primary Immunization of Premature Infants with Gestational Age <35 Weeks: Cardiorespiratory Complications and C-Reactive Protein Responses Associated with Administration of Single and Multiple Separate Vaccines Simultaneously.”
16% of infants in the study experienced immunization-related cardiorespiratory events, and 11% required oxygen therapy.
“…infants were asymptomatic before immunization but had episodes of apnea, bradycardia, or [oxygen] desaturation after immunization…”
“[Cardiorespiratory event] level is expected to be elevated in the 48 hours following immunization. In a minority of infants immunized, cardiorespiratory events were associated with presumed need for intervention.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022347607001850

“It’s a sad day for California. And it’s a sad day for our country.”
To the democrats holding office in California: “Why in the world did any of you get into politics if it wasn’t about protecting children?”
Did you see any news reports of Robert Kennedy Jr’s Occupy Sacramento Press Conference on 9 September 2019? The legislative bodies suspended rules to rush through two bills (SB276 & SB714) despite thousands of concerned parents who showed up at the capitol to express strong protest against these bills. Some highlights from Bobbie Kennedy’s speech:
“If we can give government and big industry the right to inject untested medical products with zero liability into our children coercively, where does the power of government end? What else can they order us to do? Abort babies for the good of society? Euthanize people for the good of society? Where is the legal rational boundary? Our country has signed multiple treaties stating that force cannot be used for any medical procedures without informed consent.
“Where are all the auto-immune diseases coming from? If it’s not the vaccines, where is it coming from 12% of my generation had chronic diseases (prior to 1986). Today 54% do. From HHS. The long list of epidemic chronic diseases amongst American children are also listed on the vaccine inserts.
“All of these legislatures here – we went from office to office and talked to every single one of them. We answered every single question. We showed them in black and white the truth. This state is doing something horrendous.
“Environmental issues. A war between large corporations who are trying to treat our planet as if it is a business in liquidation, convert our natural resources to cash, have a few years of pollution based prosperity for themselves and our children are going to have to pay for their joy ride with de-nuded landscapes, poor health, and huge clean up costs which are going to amplify over time and they will never be able to pay. That was my life’s battle. These corporations were commoditizing our landscapes.
“When I got sucked into this issue I saw something a 100 times worse. Not just oil companies trying to pave and commoditize our landscape, but big pharmaceutical companies – the most evil companies on earth – who are commoditizing our children. Who are giving our children this tsunami of chronic diseases and then making money. Telling us they are getting rid of infectious diseases like measles and chicken pox, but trading that for rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes and autism and ADD and ADHD. All of those infectious diseases are treatable and curable yet none of the chronic diseases that they are causing are treatable or curable. They are making $50B selling our kids these mandated vaccines that are untested and liability free, but they are making $500B a year selling them the epi-pens, the seizure medications, the Prozac, the Albuterol inhalers, the rheumatoid arthritis medications, the diabetes medications, that our children are addicted to for life because of these vaccines.
And we went through this with all of these democratic legislators. They knew what they were doing.
A Q&A by David Maxfield from Crucial Skills: How to discuss immunizations with reluctant parents inspired me to write my own Q&A. I have a high regard for their work even though I hold an opposing view on this particular topic. His answer to a question posed by a vaccine promoting health care professional provides valuable insight on how to converse instead of argue. I pose a question from a vaccine informed parent and edited the wording he provided in his answer. If you visit the link please read my comment, and take a minute to leave your own respectful comment!
Dear David,
With the recent rise of hype in the media promoting vaccines and looming mandates, I am concerned children will be harmed as a result.
With 36 yrs exploring this topic, I am troubled by how many ‘experts’ are not more curious about vaccine safety. Has the belief that “vaccines are safe & effective & save millions of lives” been challenged with personal research review by those who hold this view? I don’t understand how they can push a point of view without a thorough examination of what exactly parents are objecting to and why. Parents who witness injury know the case for vaccines is extremely flawed. Many have become experts on vaccine risk, yet may find it difficult to hold a conversation because of their passion.
Public health officials seem more committed to getting vaccines into children than looking into the possible harm. How can I converse about this topic so that all parties involved can discover truth?
Concerned mother, grandmother, researcher, and writer
Dear concerned mother, grandmother, researcher, and writer,
It’s not just vaccines that cause communication breakdowns. We see breakdowns across our culture, which makes your question especially relevant. Some tips that may help your discussions:
You Can’t Win an Argument. It’s a paradox that it becomes harder, instead of easier, to convince someone when you are supremely confident in your own point of view. Many of us have firsthand experience with this reality. Dale Carnegie expanded this insight, “You can’t win an argument.” Here is how a conversation can turn into an argument:
I ask the parent/doctor/nurse why they want to give vaccines or question a vaccine promoter about vaccines.
Reasons are given in support of vaccines.
I attack their reasons and try to add information on vaccine harm.
They attack my points and defend theirs.
I attack theirs and defend mine.
Rinse and repeat.
No one wins
In trying to win an argument I’ve fallen into what’s called the Persuasion Trap. I have become the champion for my cause and pushed the other party into being a champion for the opposite cause. The result is an argumentative cycle no one seems to win – in fact, each person could finish with a strengthened view of his or her own position.
Motivational Interviewing. Motivational Interviewing is an approach that is designed to avoid the Persuasion Trap. Instead of taking sides, it helps the pro vaccine pusher explore and resolve the ambivalence they must feel regarding vaccines. It conveys respect while maintaining and holding the position that it’s the parent who will make the final judgment. The goal is to engage the vaccine promoter with his or her own intrinsic motivation. Below are a few principles you can use:
Ask for Permission. When you are told “It’s time for vaccines” or someone is providing pressure for you to give vaccines, don’t launch into an argument. Instead, ask permission to discuss it further. This helps avoid an argument and conveys respect.
Explore their Ambivalence. Most thoughtful experienced vaccine promoters must have some thoughts about the reality of vaccine injury. Make it safe for them to voice their possibly deeply hidden concerns. This establishes your role as educator, rather than opponent. Below are how these first two elements might sound in a conversation with a healthcare provider. You can imagine using a similar approach for family or friends:
YOU: Your said my child is due for a _____ vaccine today. Would it be okay if we discussed it?
PARENT: [I have no idea what they will say! Let’s go with] Okay.
YOU: Many of your peers feel vaccines are entirely safe and totally effective. Your training has launched your career as a health care provider and you see that vaccines play an integral part of providing that care. You are concerned about parents who refuse vaccines and worried that it will cause specific risk to that child and perhaps to a larger population because of one child not receiving vaccines. These are valid concerns. If I were in your shoes, I would probably share your views. What do you see as the pros and cons of a person not getting vaccines?
Perhaps draw a line down the middle of a piece of paper and write the pros on the left and cons on the right side of the line as they provide them. This helps the person turn their vague feelings and fears into a finite number of specific concerns—concerns that can be addressed.
Paraphrase to Ensure Understanding. Summarize each concern. This makes sure you understand it and also demonstrates that you are listening. “So, correct me if I’m wrong, but you are worried that a child who does not receive a measles vaccine will be at risk of death? You are concerned that if a few children don’t get the measles vaccine a widespread outbreak will result in many people getting sick and perhaps many dying? You have concerns that parents do not understand the gravity of their decision to avoid vaccines and that they are unnecessarily putting their child at risk? Is that right?”
Address Each Concern with Facts. But first, ask for permission (again), “Would you mind if I provided you with more information about the risk of vaccine injury from recently published sources?” Have a few salient facts memorized and offer to send the papers. Provide all clarifying information in a nonjudgmental way.
Consider the Messenger. Ask yourself whether you are the right person to provide the facts. If you are a parent who has personally witnessed vaccine injury, a person who has received compensation through VICP, or a person who has spent thousands of hours researching the topic, you may consider yourself credible, but beware that your listener may not see you as credible. A health professional will generally value information provided by other health professionals. If you have had multiple children and some are vaccine injured and others who did not receive vaccines are vibrantly healthy, you may want to share your own personal observations. It might sound like this: I understand my small data sample is not science, but after my first child was vaccine injured I didn’t give vaccines to my others. The thing that astounds me every single day is the vibrant health of my non vaccinated children. I am absolutely certain that health is not the result of getting an injection of so many chemicals on a regular basis.”
If you don’t think the person sees you as a credible messenger, then use information that comes from more credible sources. Provide a handout from Learn the Risk, Informed Consent Action Network, Children’s Health Defense, or NVIC. You may also encourage the person to investigate recent studies by Dr Aaby on long-term health after vaccines, Dr Theresa Deisher on DNA fragments in vaccines, or Dr Chris Exley and Dr Chris Shaw on aluminum in vaccines. Another resource for someone truly interested in exploring the topic is a video presentation by Dr Sam Eggertsen from Washington state focused on helping health care providers understand vaccine hesitant parents which answers the question “Why Do Parents Refuse To Vaccinate Their Children?” https://youtu.be/8LB-3xkeDAE
Final Affirmation/Acknowledgement. “I applaud you for having this discussion with me. I am happy to discuss anything further. I’m sure I don’t know as much as you. I don’t have your training and haven’t read all your medical textbooks, but I am 100% committed to finding the truth. I also want to help parents have healthy happy babies – which I am sure is also your goal. I believe we achieve the best health, as individuals and as communities, by boosting the innate immune system and the body’s own defense against infectious disease. Avoiding chemicals in our food, air, water, and what we inject into our body – all of which burden our natural detox system – seems a wise approach in the pursuit of health.”
Consider Multiple Influences. You asked how to have a conversation with a vaccine promoter. These conversations are important, but they’re only one aspect of a comprehensive influence strategy. If your mission is to inform the public and especially new parents of the reality of vaccine injury you could employ a combination of strategies at the Personal, Social, and Structural levels. These would include conversations, but also involve community leaders within schools, churches, and sports teams. They would also include discussions with lawmakers and policy makers. I pray this information will be helpful in getting people to thoroughly investigate the truth on this issue. Let me know if you try any of these suggestions, and how they work for you!
A Harvard educated lawyer describes his son’s serious life-threatening vaccine injury. Despite his education and the fact that he and his wife both attributed their son’s epilepsy to his first round of vaccines as a baby, they were pushed by a forceful, yet ignorant doctor, into the next round of vaccines at 7 months. They nearly lost their son.
Doctors are not taught the truth about vaccine reactions. When they witness a reaction or are told about one, they usually deny any connection to the vaccines. The CDC keeps information hidden. Even the brightest, smartest, most successful parents are susceptible to the pressure to vaccinate – against their own instincts.
If vaccines were so good, there wouldn’t have to be so much pressure to give them. Don’t fall into the same trap. Listen to your heart. Don’t believe anyone just because they have credentials. Ask to see the actual safety studies which prove vaccines to be safe for your child. Research this topic more than any other thing you may purchase for your baby. Your baby deserves a truly well informed parent.
This dad is warning others because he was deceived into harming his son. He seeks to protect other babies from vaccine injury. He has no other incentive to share his story
As your child approaches specific milestones – usually in age, you will hear from family, friends, your trusted pediatrician, that it is now “time for “11 year old shots”.
Most parents take this in stride. They understand their child may have some hesitancy, and help them psychologically prepare for the procedure in advance. Since the CDC has been recommending vaccines since most parents were children, we accept that they are a normal part of life.
Should parents ask any more questions about these “recommended 11 year old shots”? What about the new additional ‘off to college’ shots?
Your child may feel a little anxious about it. You may even feel a bit nervous about the visit. But have you taken a little time to ask some questions about these recommendations?
Firstly what shots did you get when you were 11?
What shots are being recommended for your 11 year old?
What diseases will they prevent? Is the protection from these diseases 100% guaranteed?
Is there any known risk of adverse reactions to the shots?
Has the combination of shots recommended for my child been studied thoroughly and tested so we can be confident that it is harmless to give multiple shots at the same visit?
Are some shots relatively new?
What has been the safety track record so far?
What are the ingredients in the specific vaccines recommended? How was the vaccine manufactured? Where was the vaccine manufactured?
As a parent you are probably fairly careful about what your child eats. You are also careful about your child’s friends, environment, and general safety. Injecting ingredients into your child’s body is actually a lot more serious than we have always thought: We got vaccines, our children get vaccines, no big deal. There are so many developments in science since the time we were children that we need to take some time to explore a lot of issues around the vaccine discussion.
The most important aspect of life is health. We want to guard and treasure our child’s health. I encourage you, as a loving dedicated parent, to take some time to learn about:
The 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act which serves to protect vaccine manufacturers from all liability for the products injected into children as recommended by the CDC.
Vaccine Adverse Events Reports System (VAERS). A registry of voluntary reporting of vaccine injury.
The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). The compensation system set up after the 1986 Act as a means to compensate families who experienced death or injury from vaccines. As of 2019 over $4 billion has been paid out for vaccine injury through this closed court system.
Study the actual diseases and learn how you can treat them safely and effectively.
Just think about it. There is no other product you use for your family that the manufacturer is 100% liability free. Experts admit that some children will be harmed from vaccines. The exact percentage of children is routinely stated as very low. The reality of vaccine injury is a topic IGNORED and hidden rather than studied. Too many families have learned the hard way that vaccines cause injury far more frequently than expected.
Information is power. When you know the facts in this discussion you will not be led by fear. Fear has been the primary motivating factor in selling vaccines to the public. Should we fear these diseases or should we fear those who profit from selling a liability free product virtually mandated on the entire population?
As a Christian, I have a responsibility to warn you about what I have discovered from thousands of hours of research, reading, and studying this information. You owe it to your children to become informed. I am happy to provide more information.

I see your cartoons and your posts about people who are questioning vaccines. I was you, just a little over 3 years ago. I saw it as a black and white issue with no room for debate. I thought ugly thoughts and stated my opinion plainly. I thought I had read the science, which of course was me reading abstracts of a handful of industry-funded, cherry-picked studies that did not contain true inert placebos. I read the CNN articles. I looked at the CDC website. I knew what the WHO was. There was absolutely no possible way in my mind that getting vaccines involved any risk worth my consideration.
Then my beautiful daughter, Rosie, regressed into autism slowly, incrementally, and profoundly. I denied that vaccines played a role. I just couldn’t believe it. I didn’t want to believe it. After a significant decline following a flu shot, I asked the nurse, awkwardly…
“Rosie really tanked after her flu shot. I don’t want to be one of those people, but could there be something to that?”
The nurse took a deep breath, and very diplomatically said,
“Vaccines create an immune response in the body and if her immune system was poor or struggling, it could affect her negatively.”
Say what?! Enter doubt. Rosie’s immune system was terrible. During her short life she had already had many ear infections with multiple rounds of antibiotics. She had even contracted the rare Epiglottitis – two months before getting that flu shot. Epiglottis is “a rapidly progressive bacterial infection of the epiglottis and surrounding tissues that may lead to sudden respiratory obstruction and death” – something the HIB vaccine should have protected her from! Fail.
Rosie was due for a booster shot at this appointment and even my super mainstream doctor agreed we should pause her vaccinations! I decided to go home and do my research and make sure I felt confident to continue vaccines on the recommended schedule.
I then began to slowly eat humble pie. If you would like to grab of a cup of coffee with me one day, I would spell out what my journey of discovery has been like—how it was retrospectively quite obvious that Rosie was negatively impacted after at least 2 and maybe 3 sets of her vaccinations. When your child is regressing, it’s difficult to know what you are looking at in the moment. Who would ever be expectantly watching for their child to lose skills?? You just one day realize that your child can’t do something anymore. I wasn’t looking for something to blame. The evidence was undeniable.
I would not tell you what to do, but I would share the broader scope of the suppressed science that is available regarding vaccine safety (and the lack thereof). I would inform you of the unbelievable level of corruption involved in our government agencies (Did you know that the CDC owns vaccine patents?). I would point to the latest research showing how there is a mechanism whereby vaccines create immune activation events (really their whole purpose) and that some cases (How many? We don’t know yet!) of autism can be triggered by immune activation events in the brain.
Did you know that families have been compensated a total of over $4B in vaccine court for vaccine injuries, some of which resulted in autism? Did you know that in 1986 vaccine manufacturers were feeling extreme pressure due to lawsuits for injury from vaccine. They appealed to the US government and Congress passed an act to take away the right to sue vaccine manufacturers directly? In order to receive any compensation from vaccine injury or death, there is a lengthy process whereby you have to petition the government for compensation (funded by a tax you pay on every vaccine), in a process where Department of Justice attorneys rake families over the coals.
Did you know that a lawsuit has been won against Health and Human Services, finding that the HHS failed to conduct ANY of the biannual vaccine safety reports required by this same act? Did you know that the vaccine schedule has exploded to 72 recommended doses by the age of 18? There’s no liability, so of course the schedule exploded. I had no idea.
To say the science is settled is ridiculous. Nothing is settled in science, especially when the number of doses of vaccines is continually increasing. Autism rates are now shown to be as high as 1 in 36. Don’t tell me vaccines can’t trigger autism or regression without telling me what does. Genetics can only account for a predisposition and a tiny subset of autism. Our family is currently part of a huge autism genetics study and they continue to come up empty. What a waste!
Your autism, or your child’s autism may not have been caused or triggered by vaccines, but it’s unfair to whitewash countless people’s experiences of regression, side effects, and even death. It’s happening at frightening numbers, and you probably don’t know about it because mothers are scared to share these stories to a hateful public. And I will share with you that we don’t all blame one vaccine. How could we, when our children usually receive multiple vaccinations at once? I will remind you that only one vaccine has been studied in relation to autism: MMR. The “definitive” study on it was called out by a whistleblower for an illegal manipulation of data. Just today, an INDUSTRY-FUNDED study was released out of Denmark, which didn’t even have a true representation of the current autism rates in the study sample. It’s garbage, but you see the headline and you feel relieved, right?
I’ll also share with you that this long term study was released in a timely manner on the night before a US Senate hearing on the ‘measles crisis’ with a completely one sided presentation resembling a PR stunt. Hundreds of parents and children were purposefully barred from attending. Is this one step toward trying to create a public demand to make philosophical/religious vaccine exemptions extremely burdensome? or remove them altogether.
Let me make this clear for you: The federal government is tossing around the idea of mandating medical procedures (vaccines) that are poorly studied and produced by manufacturers that have zero liability. Are you okay with the government mandating that I have Rosie continue to get vaccinations, given her history? Medical exemptions are not easy to come by if you are thinking she should be covered with that. Should she be sacrificed for what you may believe is the greater good? Should the government be allowed to make such mandates? Is this communist China?
You ask…what about herd immunity? In terms of the hot-button measles, the scientific community used to believe one shot provided lifelong immunity. Then they realized some people didn’t even develop antibodies, so a booster was added to “clean up” the ones that didn’t have a good uptake the first time. Now they know that immunity wanes over time. When was your last booster? If you didn’t have a natural case of the measles, it is very likely that you, yourself, are no longer immune and not contributing to the “herd”. Are your children’s teachers up to date? The custodians? The cafeteria workers? The visiting parents? Again, likely no. But you can’t transmit what you don’t have, so we’re doing okay. People seem to think the unvaccinated are in some way harboring communicable diseases all the time.
Herd immunity is also based on research of how natural immunity can work. Vaccine-derived herd immunity is wishful thinking.
The Pharma-bought media want you to believe that I get all my information from Google and social media. I have read more than my fair share of books, there are many Pubmed articles online, and Google Scholar is fairly adequate for me to have access to studies. Would you respect my opinion more if I trekked over to the medical library and read the same things there?
#WeDid is spreading awareness that vaccines can cause permanent brain injuries. Thousands of neurotypical children are becoming autistic from vaccines. Vaccines are not safe for a lot of children. Some children have no problems, but some do. Unfortunately, it’s like playing a game of Russian roulette on your child.
As for social media—thank God for a platform that allows families with stories like ours to find each other.
Coming back to your posts—your flippant posting of cartoons and bullying of people who question vaccines is hurtful to families of vaccine injured children. You are entitled to post or say what you want of course, but you need to know that thousands of families grieve what they saw happen to their babies. The Pharma-bought media stabs us, and your posts feel like a twisting of the knife.
I’m not mad. How could you know about all of this as — we all received the same mainstream mantra of “vaccines are safe and effective”?
I know you probably didn’t mean to hurt feelings and that you fear for your own children and the possibility of them contracting an illness. IT’S UNFAIR THAT WELL-MEANING PARENTS ARE BEING PITTED AGAINST WELL-MEANING PARENTS.
We need to know the true benefit/risk ratio of all things we may choose to inject in our bodies so we can make conscientious decisions. We don’t have enough information. We should all ask: Are we trading short term illnesses (in whatever severity that may be) for chronic long term neurological disorders (and possibly so many other ailments)?
Please don’t ask me on Facebook to provide all the science that has taken me literally 3 years to sift through. I will not enter a “here’s my study”, “I don’t like your study” war. If you are genuinely curious, and I hope you are, I recommend J.B. Handley’s book: “How to End the Autism Epidemic” as a starting point. I ask you to read beyond study abstracts and CNN headlines.
I don’t mean to be arrogant in my beliefs. I don’t have all the answers. I just know that the Lord wouldn’t let me rest in silence.
