I was thrilled to hear Dr Peter McCullough – a thoroughly mainstream cardiologist prior to the great covid reveal thrust upon the world beginning in 2020 – advise parents to forego all childhood vaccines.
This a a great step forward for medical professionals to be able to discuss the conflicts of interest long-held by regulatory bodies. The entire Covid event has overwhelmingly showed the world that there is a problem with vaccines, the regulatory bodies, and the companies that manufacture them. These facts have caused many extremely reputable doctors, like Dr Peter McCullough, to investigate the actual safety studies supporting the entire vaccine industry.
It’s a wake up call.
“Growing international concerns about vaccine regulatory processes and vaccine safety have emerged following the widespread regulatory failure of Covid-19 vaccines. The Covid-19 crisis has demonstrated that regulatory bodies, once public watchdogs, are now at best incompetent and at worst have been deeply corrupted by pharmaceutical industry interests.”
You can read the well formulated statement by the World Council for Health here. You can watch the interview with Dr Peter McCullough and Dr Tess Lawrie here. Both doctors agree that ALL childhood vaccines should be halted. Dr McCullough is clearly NOT an ‘anti-vaxxer’ as he considers himself like a pin cushion – having received 69 vaccines in his life, including 40 flu vaccines! I don’t think he’ll be getting any more vaccines for himself.
Now many may say – ‘but who is the World Council of Health?’ You can expect that they will be attacked. But can anyone provide coherent arguments against their statement? All personal attacks are signals that there is no logical way to debate; no rationale to support their ideas, so they attack their opponents.
There have been many hundreds of doctors who have spoken out revealing the dangers of vaccines, but there is a huge tide overflowing to a greater number than ever before AND giving those who have researched the topic for many years ever greater validity.
A big win for truth. Let everyone you know with children, or soon to have children. You can bet this will not be on the news!

The link below should take you to a video produced by The Highwire where Del Bigtree creatively and passionately explains how the push for families to accept a TDaP vaccine in order to keep a new baby safe might NOT be giving the protection desired. From 14-25 minutes of this Hightwire episode, Del analysis a 2013 study of non human primates which compares the immunity of the old DTP vaccine, the DTaP vaccine and natural immunity. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1314688110
Del’s passion and enthusiasm can be a bit over the top for some people. This is why I also collected several studies showing the impact of the DTaP/TDaP shot which explains why they do not give the hoped for protection of a new baby in a recent blog.

Is my baby going to be at risk for developing whooping cough? Who will put my baby at risk?
The following information will help you navigate the pertussis/whooping cough shots. When assessing information that may contradict what you have been told by health professionals, keep an open mind. Seek the truth. Many times very well meaning people have been given false information and haven’t fully researched all the facts.
Did you know that the DTaP does not prevent colonization and transmission of Diphtheria and Pertussis? It only potentially reduces the symptoms in vaccinated individuals. A study done in 2000 concludes, “Vaccinated children may be asymptomatic reservoirs for infection.”http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/6/5/00-0512_article
So the vaccinated can carry and spread the bacteria without feeling sick. That is part of the reason pertussis outbreaks are occurring in highly vaccinated populations. It also contradicts the idea that a healthy unvaccinated person is somehow more likely to spread the disease. The vaccine does not prevent against pertussis, it protects against the “whooping cough” symptom that comes along with pertussis. This may result in those who receive the vaccine being a “silent carrier” which is why pertussis is so prevalent. Grandma gets her TDaP shot and still gets pertussis but doesn’t have the number one sign of pertussis (the cough) and goes and smooches your baby – baby now has pertussis. Many scientific studies clearly acknowledge these facts.
In an article entitled, “The 112-Year Odyssey of Pertussis and Pertussis Vaccines-Mistakes Made and Implications for the Future” in the Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society, the author acknowledges: that the vaccine being given is making people more susceptible to pertussis: “Because of linked-epitope suppression, all children who were primed by DTaP vaccines will be more susceptible to pertussis throughout their lifetimes, and there is no easy way to decrease this increased lifetime susceptibility.” Cherry JD. The 112-Year Odyssey of Pertussis and Pertussis Vaccines-Mistakes Made and Implications for the Future. J Pediatric Infect Dis Soc. 2019 Sep 25;8(4):334-341. doi: 10.1093/jpids/piz005. PMID: 30793754.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/30793754/
The ‘baboon study’ may be the most significant explanation of how the vaccine may mask symptoms and instead of reducing transmission – may actually increase transmission to the non vaccinated. Acellular pertussis vaccines protect against disease but fail to prevent infection and transmission in a nonhuman primate model, https://www.pnas.org/content/111/2/787
Del Bigtree from The Highwire provides a detailed passionate video illustration of the findings of the baboon study here from 14 minutes – 25 minutes.
Is there longterm protection for children who receive all five doses of the DTaP vaccine? Waning Protection after Fifth Dose of Acellular Pertussis Vaccine in Children. Nicola P. Klein, Joan Bartlett, Ali Rowhani-Rahbar, et al. The New England Journal of Medicine, Massachusetts Medical Society, Sep 13, 2012. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1200850
Whooping cough in school age children with persistent cough: prospective cohort study in primary care states “Conclusions For school age children presenting to primary care with a cough lasting two weeks or more, a diagnosis of whooping cough should be considered even if the child has been immunised. Making a secure diagnosis of whooping cough may prevent inappropriate investigations and treatment.” BMJ 2006; 333:174 https://www.bmj.com/content/333/7560/174
So what’s a parent to do? Insisting that everyone that will come into contact with baby must be vaccinated will not offer protection from whooping cough and may, indeed, increase the risk that baby will be infected with and get whooping cough.
I believe breastfeeding is the number one immune boost your baby needs for protection against all infection. Breastfeeding is simple, but not always easy. Prioritizing successful breastfeeding means getting information and support in advance to understand and overcome potential challenges. Avoiding all nipple substitutes in the first six to eight weeks will help prevent nipple confusion and rejection by baby of the breast. The best way to become comfortable with breastfeeding is to spend time with mothers who successfully and happily breastfed their babies.
Close contact (holding, kissing, etc.) with recently vaccinated individuals should be avoided, as they are potential silent carriers, but there is no need to panic and stress. Wearing your baby in a carrier when out in public is a great way to keep baby close and protect from unwanted contact.
If baby does develop a pertussis infection, early treatment with a high dose vitamin C protocol has been highly effective. As a parent who experienced whooping cough with four of my children when they were young, I can encourage you that children do survive whooping cough.
One serious reason to be wary of the DTaP and TDaP vaccines is the high level of aluminum they contain. A deep dive into the potential harm of injecting aluminum shows that there are many possible ramifications from auto-immune disorders to neurologic (brain) injury. Parents are not given true informed consent when they are not told of the possible adverse events of injecting aluminum. The biggest question to consider is, do I want to avoid a lifetime illness, possible neurological injury, or an infection of short duration that can be treated?

You read food labels, or you have. You recognize a few ingredients on packages and may try to avoid some.
The LAST thing you — the parent or grandparent — want to do is harm your baby. People — many who work in professions we feel we should trust — tell you that babies NEED injections with certain things in order to “keep them safe”. They can relate many horror stories about WHY these injections are ABSOLUTELY and URGENTLY needed. Trust me, I’ve been told by many medical friends these same stories. But is that the whole story?
Can we give our absolute trust to the people telling us to inject ourselves and our babies? Have the people promoting these injections taken the time to look into the ingredients of the injections? Have they discovered what the ingredients can do once injected? Or, are they just following the line of their training, most of which has been directed and paid for by the massive pharmaceutical industry.
If you are a label reader, do you know the ingredients in the shots that are recommended for you or your child?
Learn The Risk has a great page on ingredients. You can check it out here
The following is a glimpse of the webpage highlighting the DTaP vaccine which is commonly given to every baby in the USA at 2, 4, 6 and 15 months as per the CDC. This is a shot that is pushed in the hope of preventing diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), and tetanus. One of the main problems with this shot is the amount of aluminum.
Pregnant moms are pushed to receive a TDaP injection FOR EVERY PREGNANCY – regardless of when they had a previous shot. Grandparents are PUSHED to get the shot in order to have contact with their grand babies. There is a lot of fear used to manipulate parents into compliance. The full facts of the impact of the aluminum on the developing brain of both in utero and very young infants are not shared by the myriad nurses and doctors that urge acceptance of this potentially harmful procedure.
Parents, please look further. Find out the impact of aluminum on the brain. Our society is experiencing far too many neurological harms both in the elderly and in the very young. Here is a short video explanation on the role of aluminum in the body and brain by Dr Chris Shaw who has researched aluminum in detail. Aluminum is not a part of any biochemical process on earth, but when injected causes a wide range of unusual biochemical processes that are not beneficial to the body..
Now no parent wants their baby to be sick with diphtheria, pertussis or tetanus, BUT, is there any way of avoiding these illnesses that doesn’t deliver a high dose of aluminum to the body and brain? This is the type of question new parents should be asking and searching for answers. Can I reduce or avoid the risk of diseases without injecting my child with so many toxic ingredients?

If car seats had warnings about causing my child encephalitis, anaphylactic shock, SIDS, febrile seizures, chronic illness, lifelong neurological impairment, etc., I wouldn’t use them.
If my doctor told me to use the same car seat for newborns, toddlers, older children and adults, regardless of size or medical status, I would remember we don’t treat other products or medications as one-size-fits-all and I wouldn’t try to put an infant into a seat too large for an adult.
If my doctor said the exact compilation of harnesses, the direction the car seat is facing, and the type of car it fits into, all make the car seat not only safe and effective but necessary to prevent death, and then I found out they’ve NEVER studied the multiple factors together, AND that the car seat manufacturers had no liability WHATSOEVER for their products, I would question the knowledge and loyalties of my doctor and not follow the recommendation.
If I asked for more information on the car seat and my doctor gave me two pages that said the car seat works great, but failed to give me the full data sheets that showed the car seats were actually quite dangerous, haven’t been studied in babies, and have contraindications in many of the groups doctors use them in, I would at the very least find a new doctor.
If I knew the U.S. Supreme Court clearly declared car seats ‘unavoidably unsafe’ I would wonder why they aren’t making car seat manufacturers accountable for injuries and death, and I certainly wouldn’t make usage mandatory.
If I knew car seat manufacturer whistleblowers had come forward to expose data manipulation that implicated the manufacturers and the government agencies that recommended them, I wouldn’t use them and I’d call for a federal investigation rather than allowing the complicit parties to ‘investigate’ themselves.
If car seat ads accounted for 85% of mainstream media ad revenue, I would understand that they can’t be impartial with their reporting, I wouldn’t blindly trust their recommendations, and I would question all information supplied by mainstream media.
If car seat manufacturers continually paid out billions in civil and criminal fines for manipulating safety data, injuring and killing people with their products, yet the products were not recalled, I wouldn’t use them.
If car seat manufacturers used aborted babies in their manufacturing process, I wouldn’t use them.
If car seats caused the accidents they were meant to protect against, I wouldn’t use them.
If my child had a worsening reaction and decline in health every time I put them in a car seat, I wouldn’t use them.
If my doctor got paid an additional $400 every time I used a car seat, couldn’t tell me anything specific about the car seat, and saw these negative reactions following car seat exposure, but said it was ‘just a coincidence’, I wouldn’t use them and I’d get a new doctor.
If the available car seats used ingredients and schedules that were banned in other safer/healthier countries, I wouldn’t use them.
If I knew that after using a car seat my child might seem fine at first, but that car seats may cause infertility, cancer, mutagenesis, neurological damage and autoimmune diseases, I wouldn’t use them.
If people who didn’t use car seats were consistently healthier, I would at least do my own research.
If we weren’t allowed to do actual thorough standard scientific tests for car seat safety or ask ANY questions about them, if all dissenting views on car seats are censored — even personal accounts from parents who are direct eye-witnesses to the car seat damage — but the public is still urged, coerced and/or forced to use them, I would think maybe I should do some digging for myself instead of blindly accepting the research of the companies profiting from products known to injure or kill and for which they face no liability at all.
You can bundle the healthiest ingredients with the best of intentions, wrap them in poison and they’re still just poison. When you make an extremely profitable product liability-free, the result is that there is no incentive to make sure the product is safe or effective.
Don’t exchange liberty for a fallacious sense of security, especially at the expense of our children.

Bee sting, cuts, scrapes, burns … things happen. Sometimes we seek medical care in an ER or urgent care. We are there for an informed opinion on our need for medical treatment, yet often the first issue we face is pressure to accept a tetanus shot. ERs throughout the country seem to have the same standard protocol to promote a “tetanus shot” for nearly every presentation. I’ve written about tetanus here, here, here and here. But I came across some facts that I wanted to collect and share.
Tetanus is the name of a sickness you get when the bacterium Clostridium tetani enters your body and flourishes (with a life cycle). C. tetani is an anaerobic bacteria meaning it can only live in the absence of oxygen. In the presence of oxygen tetanus cannot complete its life cycle to create the tetanus toxin which is dangerous. If a wound has bled and can be cleaned and aired, there is very little risk of this life cycle ever happening.
Before agreeing to a tetanus shot it is imperative to seek information on the true risk of a tetanus infection compared to the risk of harm caused by the “tetanus” vaccine. The CDC provides information on tetanus infections through annual reports. Vaccine adverse events can be found in the VAERS data base and the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) annual compensation reports.
In an 8 year study covered by the CDC mortality and morbidity report (2001-2008) 45 states reported 233 cases of diagnosed tetanus infection including 26 deaths. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6012a1.htm
Compare this to 791 deaths reported during this time period from a tetanus containing vaccine.
The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) was set up in 1988 as a voluntary reporting system to track vaccine reactions. 155,830 adverse events and 2,676 deaths were reported following tetanus containing vaccines in children and adults. Updated statistics are available from https://www.openvaers.com/openvaers.
Admittedly, most vaccines are given in combination with many other vaccines so the harm cannot be attributed solely to the tetanus vaccine.
During 2001–2008, a total of 233 cases of tetanus were reported from 45 states; 26 were fatal.
An average of 29 cases was reported each year.
The average annual incidence was 0.10 per 1 million population.
C. tetani is ubiquitous in the environment (can be found everywhere)
Populations considered at increased risk for tetanus include persons with tetanus-prone wounds, IDUs (injection drug users), and those with diabetes and chronic wounds.
The findings in this report indicate that older adults are at greater risk for tetanus than younger persons, and the risk for fatal disease is higher among patients aged ≥65 years.
“Tetanus only” shots were once available, but are no longer offered because the manufacturers stopped production. The only ‘tetanus’ injection available in the US is a three in one shot containing diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccines. While many doctors, nurses, and ER staff will encourage anyone with a wound to get a ‘tetanus’ shot, the only shot available is the DTaP for children and the TDaP for adults.
There are many first hand reports of patients agreeing to receive a tetanus shot, but when the shot arrives, the vial is for DTaP/TDaP.
In conclusion, during 2001-2008 a total of 53,470 injuries including 791 deaths were reported from a tetanus containing vaccine to the registry within the United States government database while during the same time period, 26 died from tetanus infection.
The tetanus vaccine is heralded as the reason for the decrease in tetanus world wide, but this has never been substantiated. Documented Tetanus Mortality in England & Wales from 1901 to 1999 shows “the administration of the tetanus vaccine is likely to be pointless and puts children especially at risk of adverse reactions to the vaccines. Deaths related to Tetanus and tetanus incidents overall, sharply decreased long before the vaccine was introduced widely during World War II.” https://preventdisease.com/news/10/102510_vaccines_did_not_save_us.shtml#Tet_EngWale
Tetanus is ubiquitous: It is found on the surface of the body, in the mouth, in the gastro-intestinal tract, in house dust and clothing. It occurs extensively in cultivated soils. The organism lives as a harmless commensal in the gut of many animals, in addition to humans…
The geographical distribution of tetanus across the globe generally follows the areas of moist, warm climate and fertile soil — the highest rates occur in the developing world, particularly in countries near the equator.
Non vaccinated individuals can have tetanus antibodies due to natural exposure. 410 Indians demonstrate measurable antitoxin despite receiving no vaccines.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6114281/
There have been allegations that some vaccines targeting fertile female populations in underdeveloped countries contain human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) to prevent pregnancy. In 1993, WHO announced a “birth-control vaccine” for “family planning”. Published research shows that by 1976 WHO researchers had conjugated tetanus toxoid (TT) with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) producing a “birth-control” vaccine. Many priests have raised concerns regarding targeting populations in Africa, Asia, and South America to cause sterilization. https://www.scirp.org/Journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=81838, https://www.scirp.org/Journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=81838 and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12346214/
Many efforts to give vaccines to pregnant women state the purported aim is to reduce neonatal tetanus (NT).
“NT most often occurs through cutting of the umbilical cord using non-sterile techniques or applying non-sterile traditional remedies to the umbilical cord stump, but infection of the umbilical stump is not always evident. Deliveries carried out by persons with unclean hands or on a contaminated surface are also risk factors for maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT). Tetanus is not transmissible from person to person.”
Since neonatal tetanus is primarily caused by unsanitary cutting of the umbilical cord, education on better cutting and care of the neonatal cord would seem to be both beneficial and cost effective.
Standard of Care for Neonatal Tetanus as described by the WHO does NOT include giving a tetanus vaccine, ONLY giving tetanus immune globulin (TIG):
“NT remains an important global public health problem, particularly in settings with high neonatal mortality and among some of the poorest and most marginalized subpopulations worldwide.”
“NT is a medical emergency requiring hospitalization, immediate treatment with human tetanus immune globulin (TIG), agents to control muscle spasm (preferred: benzodiazepines), and antibiotics (preferred: metronidazole or penicillin G). A single intramuscular dose of human TIG is recommended as soon as possible to prevent further progression of the disease. If TIG is not available, equine-derived antitoxin tetanus serum (ATS), can be given in a single intravenous dose, after testing for hypersensitivity. Alternatively, intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) may be used.”
“The medical establishment chooses to turn a blind eye to the lack of solid scientific evidence to substantiate our faith in the tetanus shot.”
“When an old medical procedure of unknown effectiveness, such as the tetanus shot, has been the standard of medical care for a long time, finalizing its effectiveness via a modern rigorous placebo-controlled trial is deemed unethical in human research. Therefore, our only hope for the advancement of tetanus care is that further investigation of the ascorbic acid therapy is performed and that this therapy becomes available to tetanus patients around the world, if confirmed effective by rigorous bio-statistical standards.”
Tetanus incidence and mortality declined greatly before the widespread use of tetanus vaccine. (In excess of 99%)
The bacteria associated with tetanus is present virtually everywhere. However, when the human body does not present the bacteria a proper environment for growth, this constitutes a natural immunity to the tetanus bacteria.
The only preventives for tetanus are general good health and wound hygiene.
There is NO immunity to dirty wounds. Wound hygiene is essential.
Tetanus incidence in the vaccinated is about the same or higher than incidence in the unvaccinated.
Tetanus vaccine is not only ineffective but also toxic. It’s use causes numerous adverse side effects.
So, like all the other vaccine-related illnesses…is the illness truly rare, or are there simply lesser forms of it? Are vaccinated children truly protected from illness, or are parents and doctors too uninformed to recognize it?
“Five children aged five to 15 years contracted tetanus in Finland between 1969 and 1985, together with 101 adults. Four of the five had been adequately immunized against tetanus.”
“One half of an annual birth crop of the rhesus monkeys inoculated with tetanus toxoid at the age of one year had protective levels of tetanus antitoxin seven years post-inoculation. However, the immunization program had no significant effect on either the total or tetanus mortality rates during the study.”

I recently saw this list of questions to ask midwives and thought it was a fairly good list but got me thinking about the most important questions pregnant parents should ask. I would modify some of the questions so that they require more than a yes/no answer.
One question I would add – at the top of the list is “Describe the cord clamping process”. Many ‘standard’ practices of birth are widely accepted by midwives. Midwives were once the guardians of natural respectful birth but have become indoctrinated with medical training in a similar way as doctors. Not all midwives have the same outlook on standard procedures around birth which makes it important to know what to ask about. Some examples:
Pregnancy
TDaP & flu vaccines routinely recommended during pregnancy have never been safety tested, yet because CDC recommends them for every woman for every pregnancy – no matter when they had the last shot – midwives go along with suggesting or recommending them. This recommendation has only recently been implemented – from around 2008 or so. Before that EVERYONE understood vaccines in pregnancy were a very bad idea. I’ve got a few blogs about these. Moms can absolutely refuse. Politely refuse.
Rhogam during pregnancy. This shot has caused a lot of problems for some individuals related through VaxXed story videos. Many times the blood type of the father is not even considered. If both mom and dad are rH – there is no need for a Rhogam shot either during pregnancy or after birth. I admit I haven’t fully researched the impact of refusing Rhogam for after birth when a baby is rH positive. I just accepted that when my first two babies were born, tested to be + and I got the shot – after the birth. The only ‘danger’ or risk of refusing the Rhogam after birth is going to be for the next pregnancy/baby. If mom is rH negative and baby is rH positive some of the blood may have mixed during the birth process which would cause mom to produce antibodies in the next pregnancy. It will not impact the current baby. There are health risks for mom that are generally not presented when the shot is recommended. Rhogam contains polysorbate 80 which is known to open the blood brain barrier.
During Birth:
What type of monitoring is done during labor?
What kind of movement will be possible for me during labor?
How do you encourage movement?
Under what circumstances would you want to restrict movement?
What type of water birth options are available?
At what stage of labor is a birthing pool encouraged?
What position do most of your moms give birth in? This is a good question because it reveals the reality of what happens – not just what they say they believe in. Standing, squatting, (my third baby) or kneeling over a chair (that’s how you, #4, were born) allow the fullest opening of the pelvis for easier delivery. Lying on a bed restricts the pelvis – my first two babies.
After birth:
Vitamin K. Most facilities routinely administer vitamin K nearly immediately after birth – sometimes without even asking the parents or thinking twice about it. I’ve got a few blogs about Vitamin K. Knowing what I know I would always refuse vitamin K injections, but staff are often misinformed and very pushy about this. If the staff are pushy I would have vitamin K drops on hand and assure them the drops will provide even better protection. I don’t think the drops are necessary to give, but they provide a great protection from pushy medical people. Dr Suzanne Humphries speaks to the details of vitamin K injections and drops in a video on my blog.
Hepatitis B vaccine on first day of life. This is one of the worst vaccines. I’ve written extensively about it. Hepatitis B vaccine is never necessary, especially when mom is negative for hepatitis B, yet so many medical people push it as if it is life-saving.
‘Eye goop’. Standard policy for all babies to protect against blindness possibly caused by STI in the vaginal canal. It burns baby’s eyes and causes them to keep them closed which can interfere with bonding.
Bath. Timing of the first bath. Many people feel delaying a bath is better for baby. The vernix is good to soak in the skin. Any mess can simply be wiped off.
Delayed Cord clamping is HUGE. Quick cord clamping greatly reduces baby’s total blood volume. 1/3 of baby’s blood is still in the cord. Some birth attendants think they delay because they wait one minute. The cord needs to be allowed to give all the residual blood and STEM CELLS to the baby. Some say 10 minutes, some say until the cord stops pulsating, and some do ‘lotus’ birth where they don’t ever cut the cord but keep the cord and placenta attached for days until it naturally falls off!
Ask ‘what happens to my placenta‘? That’s another good question. Many women want to keep their placenta. Some prepare it and capsulize it and find it a wonderful supplement for the months following birth. I never did that, but your SIL did.
All standard procedures can be refused – but navigating the process can be challenging depending on the staff, their beliefs, and their respect for you. Many babies ‘accidentally’ are given shots that the parents have expressly stated they do not want. The best approach for this is to keep the baby in your arms – mom or dad or baby body guard (BBG) – at all times while in the medical facility. If baby needs anything the nurse will sometimes say “I need to take baby to nursery for ….” a BBG must accompany nurse for all such visits.
Medical people hate to be disrespected. The hardest part of navigating birth is the need to be ultra respectful and polite while standing your ground! Information, research, and knowledge will all give you the kahoonas to manage this process. Having respect for ridiculousness is not my strongest character strength, but I keep trying to learn and put it into practice.
I highly recommend a very short booklet called Basic Needs of a Woman in Labor. Understanding these principles truly make labor go easier, faster and better. You can order an electronic copy with any small donation.
I repeat, I have absolute confidence in your body’s ability to grow a baby, birth a baby, and breastfeed a baby! You’re doing great! God created your precious baby and knows him/her well already! There was a divine spark that ignited life in you and is now growing in you! My hope is that you would not have any fear at all, but feel empowered for this process. Love Mom
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.
CDC has set up an Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice. ACIP has no idea if it is safe to give multiple vaccines at once – because no study has been done. Yet for decades the members of ACIP have added vaccines. They publish recommendations that take for granted giving multiple vaccines at the same time. They advise doctors to give multiple vaccines with different antigens and different adjuvants injected into babies and children. Their caution? Just inject into different limbs – everything is fine.
Please watch this very brief exchange at an ACIP meeting where a new Hepatitis B vaccine with a new adjuvant is being added to the schedule. Do the two women guiding this meeting seem to be competent to answer difficult scientific questions on vaccine safety? I personally find this exchange very disturbing.
The CDC website and vocal vaccine promoters insist that the science has been settled and there is no connection between vaccines and autism. Yet Dr Bernadine Healy, a cardiologist, academic physician, and the first female Director of the National Institutes of Health, expressed a very different picture of the science stating “The question of autism and vaccines has not been answered.”
Dr Stanley Plotkin admitted in a deposition that there has been no study into the possible correlation between autism and the DTaP vaccine. In fact, there has only been one serious study of autism and vaccines which involved only one vaccine, the MMR. This is the study that the CDC whistleblower, Dr William Thompson, a senior research scientist at CDC, admitted the entire team committed scientific fraud. Vaxxed: from Cover-Up to Catastrophe is a detailed expose of the facts surrounding the whistleblower’s revelations.
So how safe are those vaccines which are daily being injected into our babies and children?
No one actually knows. Do you trust the giddy scientists that rely on – “well we always do it, just make sure you inject into different limbs” approach to safety? Or does approach seem more like relying on folklore? What is the true scientific approach? Science is always verifiable and repeatable. Science is never settled.

You’ve been told – probably many times – that vaccines are safe. So, what exactly is in that syringe being injected into the body of someone you love? Do you know? Does your doctor know? The following is a list directly from the CDC of the ingredients in all vaccines. The color coding will help you determine which vaccines contain human cell derivatives such as aborted fetal cell debris (including male and female DNA fragments), animal proteins, possible allergy irritants, and antibiotics.
Orange: Animal-derived 💗 Pink: Derived from humans cells 💛 Yellow: Toxic to humans 💚 Green: Allergy irritant 💙 Blue: Antibiotic
I always urge parents to double check all information – regardless of the source. Don’t believe me, but be sure to spend more time researching vaccines than you do any other item you may purchase for your baby – such as a car seat. Your baby’s health is too valuable to take any chances. Too many parents have learned the hard way that the risk of vaccines is actually quite high.
If you do decide your baby needs a vaccine, please research whether a Hepatitis B vaccine on the first day of life is a necessity for YOUR baby. Is YOUR baby truly at risk for Hepatitis B – an infection primarily shared through sexual promiscuity and the sharing of needles?
Before giving any vaccine at any time, take 3 minutes to read through these steps you can take prior to getting vaccines to help protect your baby. One of the biggest things you can do is to be aware that giving Tylenol (acetaminophen) in conjunction with vaccines greatly increases the risk of a vaccine reaction.
I have no vested interests in this topic. I write to educate and share information to empower parents to make wise choices for the life-long health and wellbeing of their family. Vaccine makers are 100% liability free. If their products cause any harm for any reason you cannot sue them or make any claim against them. Pause. Think about that.

These two graphics are published on a CDC website illustrating where to inject multiple vaccines to a baby at one visit.
A screen shot from Merck shows conflicting information:
The conflicts:
Point one says don’t use with other live virus vaccines, but give MMR one month before or after live viral vaccines. Varicella is a live virus vaccine. Point two contradicts point one: “MMR II has been administered concurrently with VARIVAX”… using separate injection sites and syringes – but no mention is made of safety tracking. Point four says the ACIP declares that simultaneous administration causes “no interference”. No mention is made of any study of the safety of giving all these vaccines at one time.
I did find an encouraging document linked on the same CDC link that addresses procedures to follow if there is a vaccine adverse reaction.
“These reactions can vary from trivial and inconvenient (e.g., soreness, itching) to severe and life threatening (e.g., anaphylaxis). Vaccine providers should be familiar with identifying immediate-type allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, and competent in treating these events at the time of vaccine administration. Providers should also have a plan in place to contact emergency medical services immediately in the event of a severe acute vaccine reaction.“
Parents, please research vaccines more than you research any other item or decision you make for your baby. All vaccine manufacturers have been given a liability free product. When their vaccine is added to CDC’s ACIP recommended shots for all babies and children, there is a LOT of money involved. If your baby/child experiences any vaccine reaction or death, you will bear the responsibility on your own. There is a cumbersome process to receive compensation through VICP which has paid $4 billion since 1988 to those injured or killed by vaccines. This represents a small fraction of the true harm vaccines have caused.
At the very least ask your vaccine provider if they have an emergency plan in place in the event of severe acute vaccine reaction. If they don’t have one, chances are, they lack information on administering vaccines and recognizing adverse reactions. If you do decide to give vaccines, please read this piece which has many helpful tips for reducing any potential reaction.
