We continue this discussion with six more reasons why parents are questioning vaccines. Conflicts of interest between vaccine makers, government policymakers, and the medical industry are one valid reason to doubt the full schedule. Informed consent is often overlooked as many parents are coerced into vaccines without being told the risks. Vaccine mandates continue to threaten our medical freedom and are turning more people away from vaccines. Covid policies and the Covid vaccines are also wakin...

Public confidence in the CDC childhood vaccine schedule continues to decline, and now, more parents are questioning this 69-dose protocol than ever before. Today we explore some of the questions these parents are asking, present the science and validity behind these questions, and how the medical industry tries to discount these concerns. Part 1 discusses why the vaccine conversation is so important, how the schedule has tripled over the last 30 years, how many vaccine-targeted infections don't ...

We continue our discussion of new bills in California that, if passed, would change life in CA, and likely the rest of the country, as we know it: Mandating Covid vaccine for all schoolchildren, even those in daycare, mandating shots for all employees, and lowering the age of consent for Covid vaccine to 12 years; Giving the CA Medical Board the authority to investigate any doctor, even without a patient complaint, for any reason, including doctors who spread "misinformation" about Covid; And gi...

What's the real solution to the pandemic? Can we really avoid Covid by locking down and masking up, or is it wiser to prepare our physical/mental health to work through this inevitable virus? Is our pharma-funded government really trying to keep us safe and healthy, or trying to control us with another year or two of lockdown despite the consequences? How will this fear affect our children in the long term? And what are the parallels between Covid response and the vaccine conversation? bit.ly/va...

Today we announce the revival of our live podcast tour, and our first stop is Dallas, Texas, on November 5! We then take a deeper dive into masks, mortality, and the fear of disease. How is our society reacting to the "new normal" that our government and health policymakers continue to force upon us? Why are Covid deaths viewed as something worse than the vast millions of annual fatalities from all other causes? And why have we become so much more fearful of routine illness? http://bit.ly/vaxcon...
Oct 22, 2020•34 min•Season 2Ep. 116
Today we explain the new technology behind Moderna's mRNA vaccine. Is a brand new untested technology really in our best interest in something as complex as vaccination? Then we read and discuss an internal email from Health and Human Services that reveals some of the motivations and processes involved in Operation Warp Speed - our federal government's fast-tracked plan to approve Covid treatments and vaccines. http://bit.ly/vaxconv

The flu shot just became mandatory for all Massachusetts infants, children, and young adults, passed by the Legislature without any public input. Numerous public health departments and Universities are following suit. But will this vaccine really protect us from influenza complications and keep us safe from Covid? Why are local jurisdictions mandating a vaccine with a such a dismal efficacy? And, will it possibly make you even more susceptible to Covid? http://bit.ly/vaxconv

Melissa continues her conversation with Dr. Bob with a look back at how The Vaccine Book came into being. Why did he write it, how did he formulate his approach to vaccines, and how have his viewpoints evolved in his updated third edition (2019) of the book? We explore alternative vaccine schedules and what risks they pose compared to the CDC schedule. And Dr. Bob shares his new understanding and appreciation for the health of families who don’t opt in for vaccination. http://bit.ly/vaxconv...

We continue our interview series with a spotlight on Dr. Bob Sears. Melissa takes you on a journey into Dr. Bob’s past to learn what prepared him for life as a doctor. We discuss how his father, also an outlier who rose up as a champion for naturally-minded families, influenced him. We talk about what it’s like to provide a medical home for families who are kicked out from everywhere else and whether his patients truly are healthier than kids raised with a mainstream medical approach. bit.ly/vax...

Today we cover a New England Journal of Medicine report that seeks to establish six criteria that should be in place in order to justify mandating the Covid vaccine. But who decides if the disease is out of control? Will mandates be targeted at certain groups or at everyone, and will there be enough doses to go around? Will pharma be transparent enough with their safety and efficacy research? Will an injury compensation program increase or decrease trust? Is a voluntary system better? bit.ly/vax...

Is mumps a harmless childhood disease, or are the complications as common and serious as the media portrays? Are current outbreaks happening because some choose to opt out of this vaccine, or are most cases occurring in fully-vaccinated teens and adults because of vaccine failure? What are the side-effects of this live-virus vaccine, and are these risks actually higher than the natural disease? And did the inventors of this vaccine falsify their research to get it approved by the FDA? bit.ly/vax...

We recorded this lost episode back in January but never aired it because Coronavirus took over the airwaves. You never know when you’ll have an opportunity to share the human side of vaccine injury and the personal reason for your beliefs with friends and strangers. Melissa and Dr. Bob both share their top five topics of conversation to have ready for any situation. And the more conversations you have, the more confident you’ll become as you change hearts and minds around you. http://bit.ly/vaxc...

Today we discuss a variety of topics, starting with how tolerance of varying viewpoints can bring a society closer together and unify those in the health freedom movement. We announce Dr. Bob's new podcast "A Tale of Two Sides" and Melissa's upcoming podcast (coming soon!). Then we dig into some new studies on Hydroxychloroquine and its role in Covid treatment, and offer some lifestyle and nutritional tips on how to beat the virus if and when it finally comes calling. http://bit.ly/vaxconv...

The justification for social distancing, mask wearing, and shutting down our global economy was largely based on the fear that asymptomatic people will easily spread Covid. Early studies fanned these fears and created a whole world of people willing to “do their part” by staying home to stay safe, to shun social contact, and to shame those who don’t comply. But this research was flawed, and new studies show such spread is very rare and contributes very little to the pandemic. http://bit.ly/vaxco...

Many policymakers assume that Covid-19 is largely spread by children, leading to nationwide school closures and hesitation about re-opening amid unfounded fears of kids being asymptomatic carriers. Today we break down research articles and expert opinions that show the opposite is true: while the Flu is readily spread by children, Covid-19 is not. The available data shows that children contribute very little to the spread of the virus, and schools can re-open without a “new normal.” bit.ly/vaxco...

We often see the media ignore science in favor of eye-catching headlines. Fear sells, and reassurance does not. Medical experts have been reporting cases of Kawasaki disease or multi-organ inflammation syndrome as a rare Covid complication in kids, stressing it is extremely rare and no cause for alarm. Yet the media and officials are capitalizing on fear to push the shut-down agenda. We break down this condition and hear what experts say about whether or not you should be worried. bit.ly/vaxconv...

Today we speak with Senator and family physician Dr. Scott Jensen who found a national spotlight on conservative news for his unique but accurate views on the polarizing Covid debate. He discusses how mandating anything from masks to the vaccine is a dangerous precedent for a free society and how the media and regulatory agencies use fear to guide the public. He shares his beliefs as a doctor who supports choice and a government official who supports liberty and individual freedoms. bit.ly/vaxco...

Today we are honored to talk with a Placer County Supervisor who gained attention with his outspoken views on California’s response to the Covid-19 outbreak. Kirk shares what constitutes a state of emergency and at what point a county should regain its constitutional autonomy once the data no longer shows significant risk. We also discuss what happens when a Governor goes too far in exerting power over the residents of a state and how extended lockdowns may be politically motivated. bit.ly/vaxco...
May 19, 2020•1 hr 8 min•Season 2Ep. 103
We continue our review of an extreme plan to mandate Covid-19 vaccination published in a Canadian periodical by examining the suggestions on how to punish those who don’t comply. Should those who opt-out be convicted as criminals, or be punished with loss of employment, extra taxes, and loss of insurance or pensions? Most disturbingly, the authors hone in on children—suggesting kids could be taken away from their parents to be force-vaccinated before being returned. http://bit.ly/vaxconv
May 15, 2020•50 min•Season 2Ep. 102
Today we break down a newspaper article's road map on how to make Covid-19 vaccination mandatory and discuss how readers can recognize the tactics the media use to sell a certain narrative. Why does science become so divisive when political agendas are at stake? Do we need to rely on artificial herd immunity and are governmental police powers really warranted for THIS virus? Finally, should nations devote all their remaining resources in a race for a vaccine that might not even work? bit.ly/vaxc...

We continue our discussion by looking at why New York was hit so hard compared to other places and examining new concerns about overuse of ventilators. We share two preventable risk factors for Covid-19 disease severity — Vitamin D deficiency and obesity — and talk about how to reduce these risks. We look at Sweden’s approach that may keep their nation healthier and finish with some encouragement on how to talk with your legislator about re-opening your local economy. bit.ly/vaxconv
Apr 28, 2020•1 hr 6 min•Season 2Ep. 99
Today we summarize our beliefs about COVID-19 and discuss our nation's response to the pandemic. We break down the theory of social distancing by posing a very important question: Is there actual science to back up our nationwide lockdown policy? What about the possibility that isolation could be lowering our immune system, making us more susceptible to disease and the next wave of the outbreak worse? What do other physicians and epidemiologists think of the way this is playing out? bit.ly/vaxco...
