Today we review two newspaper articles—from the LA Times and NY Times—surrounding the passage of the 1986 Act and discuss how vaccine injury was openly acknowledged by the media back in the 80s, compared to the cover-up we see today. We discuss the multiple layers of the omnibus bill, and learn how removing liability for manufacturers was a dangerous addition to what many assumed was a compensation program designed to support victims and their families. bit.ly/vaxconv

Did your doctor fail to give you proper informed consent for vaccination? Did your child suffer a serious vaccine reaction and your doctor ignored it? Your state medical board needs to hear from you. If your child was harmed by a vaccine and your doctor didn’t acknowledge it, document it, report it, and warn you about further doses and further injury, then your doctor is guilty of negligence. Today we discuss an online guide on how to submit a well-researched, well-documented complaint. bit.ly/v...

Doctors have always assumed that febrile seizures were harmless, so febrile seizures triggered by vaccines “should be” harmless as well. Today we unpack brand new data from two research studies that question this long-held belief. If having febrile seizures during childhood increases the risk of suffering from life-long epilepsy, serious mood disorders, and other neurological problems, isn’t it time doctors start acknowledging this risk and start educating and protecting their patients? bit.ly/v...

In part one of our two-part interview with Joshua Coleman, we discuss the personal story and tragic injury of his son Otto that ultimately brought him to the front lines of the fight for medical rights and informed consent. We delve into why Joshua is sometimes viewed as a controversial character, and where his critics continue to get it wrong about him. Finally, we discuss working on the Vaxxed tour, and how filming over 800 vaccine injury stories changed him forever. bit.ly/vaxconv

Today we discuss an exclusive interview and the article written about Dr. Bob by a publication that historically hasn't been favorable to the opposition of medical mandates. In a rare opportunity, Dr. Bob agreed to a 4-hour interview and shared his thoughts on his medical board probation, the importance of believing and supporting his patients, and the need for more thorough research by The Medical Establishment in order to better protect at-risk children. bit.ly/vaxconv

Our first episode of Season 2 is an extremely important one. We take an in-depth look at the federal vaccine court case of a boy severely injured by the DPT vaccine and discuss how numerous court delays ultimately led to a tragic ending six years into the case. This painful and heartbreaking story represents exactly why parents across the nation and the world continue to fight fearlessly against laws mandating products with inherent risk. bit.ly/vaxconv

There is still so much to discuss regarding the larger vaccine debate. Today we share what some of our favorite ideas are for Season 2 and what we most look forward to bringing to the podcast. Don’t worry, we won’t be gone for long. There is work to be done, there are conversations to be had, and a public perception that desperately needs changing. See you very soon! tinyurl.com/VaxConv

Today we take a look back at our favorite episodes and moments from this past year and talk about our most memorable highlights — what made us laugh, what topics got the most feedback, and what we found the most compelling. We share our current thoughts and struggles with the current California legislation and what we are doing to prevent this tragic bill. But don’t worry! We promise to be back later in the summer after we get some much-needed rest. tinyurl.com/VaxConv

We are back today with some reviews read to you in our favorite accents. Then we take a trip back in history to the late 1800s and break down an article about the origins of the very first organized resistance to mandatory vaccination. We read about the objections to forced vaccination people had 150 years ago, how they fought these laws, how class and gender fit in, and how their elected representatives responded. Will history repeat itself, or have we truly learned from our mistakes? bit.ly/va...

Today we talk about the recent California Medical Board meeting where they discussed the proposed law attacking medical exemptions and expressed many concerns about the bill as written—including the overly narrow requirements of CDC guidelines. Then Melissa and Dr. Bob have a no-holds-barred conversation about HIS medical board case, and if there is perhaps more to be done to clear his name and set the record straight. tinyurl.com/VaxConv

Are the current measles outbreaks due to an “increasing number of unvaccinated children,” or is there another explanation? This 1984 study explained why the MMR vaccine wouldn’t eradicate measles as planned, despite very high levels of coverage. This study predicted that measles outbreaks would continue, even in fully vaccinated populations, due to primary vaccine failure, and that the initial success of the vaccine in the 70’s and 80’s would be due to a naturally immune adult population. bit.ly...

Today we discuss the severe vaccine reactions that are on the VICP list of side effects that patients should be compensated for. Some of these are obvious, like anaphylaxis and encephalopathy. But some are largely unknown, like vaso-vagal syncope, shoulder injury, and live-virus infection from a vaccine. And we discuss what Dr. Bob witnessed last week when one of his own patients suffered such a reaction right in his office. Sources: bit.ly/vaxconv

Today we share what we do with our own kids to keep their immune systems healthy and what you can do from day one to grow your baby’s immune system. Is it really as simple as getting a natural start to life, avoiding certain pitfalls early on, then choosing the right foods to keep the immune system in perfect balance? Do certain vitamins and natural nutrients help too? And what does Harvard University have to say about it? Sources: bit.ly/vaxconv

We know that some children will suffer a serious vaccine reaction, but who decides if your reaction is severe enough to stop vaccination and still be allowed into school? Will you and your doctor decide, or a legislator? What happens when a doctor catches a baby up on ALL missing doses and gives 12 vaccines in a single visit? And how can doctors stop requiring written consent from parents before each medical intervention (including vaccines) for their child when federal law requires it? bit.ly/v...

Who pays for the science that keeps “settling” the vaccine safety argument? And if the science is settled, then why do peer-reviewed studies continue to reaffirm the reality of vaccine risk? Can scientists ever really close the book on any important hypothesis, or should they continue searching ALL avenues when new information becomes available—especially when the number of “anecdotes” driving the hypothesis keeps rising? Today we break down Melissa’s #TruthPart6 post about scientific objectivit

Today we discuss a controversial book that will challenge what you, and your grandparents, think you know about the polio epidemic. Were these mysterious cases of paralysis really due to the poliovirus? Did the polio vaccine truly save all of us from a lifetime of disability? Or is there more to the story? What happened when scientists, doctors, and concerned parents began to realize that other factors may be at play, and what did the government, doctors, and historians do to control the narrati...

Today we dissect another one of Melissa’s Facebook truth posts: how trained experts are programming our minds to accept even the most ridiculous ideas. The thought police aren’t just censoring information so we don’t see it — they are carefully engineering the data and messages we DO see, all with one goal in mind. And more alarmingly, are the uneducated masses so easily influenced that they come to believe the media sound bites are truly their own original ideas? Sources: tinyurl.com/VaxConv

Today we discuss the current battle happening in California regarding a bill designed to eliminate almost all vaccine medical exemptions for children. We also talk about what it means to be an informed advocate, and why it’s so important that you are actively involved in the preservation of medical freedom. The big take away is to #shareyourstory of vaccine injury, do not stay silent, and help protect other children by finally speaking up to those around you. Sources: tinyurl.com/VaxConv

Those who push for mandatory vaccination are constantly looking for new ways to label, shame, and discriminate against the growing number of people concerned about vaccine safety. Today we dissect a disturbing article from Money Magazine that claims a sinister motivation behind the vaccine safety movement. But are vaccine-educated parents, whose kids suffered serious side effects, really spreading misinformation? Or are they simply sharing their stories so that others will know the risk? bit.ly/...

Today we discuss a disease that many parents are concerned about, despite the fact that it is extremely rare. Could your child catch tetanus from a simple scrape from a dirty, rusty nail? How does tetanus even happen, and how can you prevent it? Should unvaccinated kids get a tetanus shot for any wound, or just severe ones? How can you identify the symptoms so your child can receive prompt treatment. And what about the vaccine? Are the potential side effects worth the disease protection? bit.ly/...

The ardent pro-mandatory vaccinationists have managed to get the anti-vaxxer label to stick to those of us who engage in open discussion on vaccines. Today we consider why they chose such a carefully-crafted derogatory term, what this label really means, and their not-so-hidden agenda to shift public opinion in a certain direction. But are we really “anti” anything, besides mandatory vaccination? Is there a more positive term that better describes our vaccine safety advocacy movement? tinyurl.co...

Today we fact check Joe Rogan’s interview with an infectious disease specialist/autism author/vaccine spokesperson and uncover some very unusual statements. Are vaccines only made of germ antigens and saline? Is the hygiene hypothesis just a fad? Is autism linked to 6 environmental chemicals, but NOT any of the dozens that are in vaccines? Did he just promote the First Amendment AND call for a ban on vaccine books? Why is someone who claims to be an expert getting so many facts wrong? tinyurl.co...

Vaccines are supposed to prevent disease, but what happens when a disease begins to outsmart its vaccine? Today we discuss research out of UCLA that shows getting the pertussis vaccine as a child will make you more susceptible to catching the disease. We also show you a CDC report that shows pertussis is mutating to avoid vaccine-induced immunity, and how all 90 people with pertussis in the current Los Angeles outbreak are vaccinated.

Has your doctor refused to acknowledge your child’s vaccine reaction, even when it’s listed on the FDA package insert? Did your doctor insist you repeat that vaccine again, because the side effect was “coincidental?” Is your state government insisting that your child finish that vaccine series, and all other vaccines, in order to attend school?
