We continue our discussion with more ways to broaden medical minds. Share thoughtful concerns about things like the number of doses on the full CDC schedule, genetic susceptibility to injuries, and ethical problems with vaccine mandates. If some vaccines aren’t necessary for children's health, are parents wrong to delay them? And what about the severe vaccine reactions the CDC warns against, giving informed consent, and consideration of conflicts of interest? http://bit.ly/vaxconv

Parents often find the very idea of talking with a doctor or nurse about vaccines too overwhelming. Today we offer tips on how to get a medical professional to listen to you as you share your own personal journey. We discuss how to set the right intentions for your conversation, focus on why parents have concerns, and start with thoughtful questions that will help any reasonable professional see you differently than the pre-conceived notion of who vaccine-hesitant parents are. http://bit.ly/vaxc...

Today we cover Melissa’s #TruthPart40 post about this derogatory phrase and how the vaccine safety movement can respond. What do they mean when they want YOUR kids to be vaccinated? All 69 doses? Or is just the measles vaccine enough to let you around their kids? What about hepatitis B vaccine, tetanus, or HPV? We discuss why it’s so important for this phrase to be qualified and why this should be part of the national conversation since “being vaccinated” doesn’t mean what it used to. bit.ly/vax...

When do tens of thousands of vaccine injuries that are conveniently ignored become sufficient evidence for a deeper investigation? Today we meet Nico LaHood, former District Attorney for Bexar County, Texas, and hear about his journey through both sides of the criminal justice system. He shares how his son’s vaccine injury spurred him on to take a brave and public stance against pharmaceutical tyranny and pledge a lifetime of sharing the truth with the world so that injury would not be in vain. ...

Melissa unveils her 2nd set of VaxFacts cards and shares her vision for this new form of vaccine information outreach. We then tackle Coronavirus and break down an article that calls it the first new disease outbreak in the social media era. Should people really be concerned, or are the media and government spreading unwarranted fear in order to justify removing personal liberties? Will this outbreak be leveraged as another example of why diseases like measles are a threat to us all? bit.ly/vaxc...

First we reveal ALL 10 states of our upcoming National podcast tour and give the tentative dates! Then we get into a pertussis vaccine update from a recent study that reveals new concerns about giving Tdap during pregnancy. Researchers found that mom’s vaccine antibodies from the shot during pregnancy actually reduce baby’s own pertussis vaccine response, leaving them MORE susceptible to pertussis, which raises important questions about the current recommendations for pregnant women. bit.ly/vaxc...

We delve into one of the most shocking dilemmas in the vaccine debate: How can a metal that is unquestionably toxic to the human brain be used without safety studies or regulation? Who is behind this push, and why are governments ignoring the science that shows a link to brain injury, Alzheimer’s, and other chronic conditions? We learn about the work of the world’s leading expert on this toxic metal and discover why there really is no such thing as a safe amount of injected aluminum. bit.ly/vaxc...

We continue our discussion on the unethical practices of a pharmaceutical company that was not only found guilty of false advertising, racketeering, and other illegal and unethical practices, but was also caught testing medications on children in a third-world country without parental consent. We review some concerns about the new 20-strain pneumococcal vaccine and the ethical problems of a government mandating products made by a company with a rap sheet pages long. bit.ly/vaxconv

Then we take a deep dive into the investigations of fraudulent practices of a vaccine manufacturer that is sponsoring Oprah’s National Wellness Tour. We discuss the drug company’s troublesome history, look at how they’ve put American lives at risk, and ask the bigger question: why would any public figure want to associate their name with a company found guilty of racketeering and fraud? bit.ly/vaxco...

Health freedom advocates spent the last year working tirelessly to educate enough of their local legislators to prevent the passing of a mandatory vaccination bill that would have eliminated religious exemptions and restrict medical exemptions. Today we talk with the first of two New Jersey freedom fighters closely involved in this fight and learn how they succeeded, how they found the energy to never give up, and what the rest of us can learn from their experience. bit.ly/vaxconv

Just when you think it can’t get any worse, it does. Now they are coming after your teens directly. Today we dissect a disturbing article that seeks to convince teenagers to vaccinate without their parents’ knowledge and we uncover the devious techniques some in the media will use to turn your own kids against you. This is a perfect reason why it’s important to stay vigilant and keep the lines of communication open between you and your children. bit.ly/vaxconv

Today we discuss two different events Melissa attended involving talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. The goal was to hold him accountable for his earlier public comments mocking and degrading those who opt out of vaccines, and allow him to see the real faces of families with vaccine injury. We discuss why intention matters when having conversations about taboo topics and we propose a slight shift for our movement — focusing on heart to heart exchanges with “the other side”. bit.ly/vaxconv

Human fetal cells are used to make vaccines, but what fetal cell parts really end up in the final solutions? Today we interpret four vaccine Product Inserts and several research articles that clearly describe the origins of these fetal cells and how DNA and proteins from the actual human fetuses end up in today’s shots. We discuss three ways these fetal tissues are harmful to our children and the ethical and religious reasons why everyone should oppose laws that mandate these products. bit.ly/va...

Dr. Chris Shaw shares what he has discovered about the un-natural immune response aluminum vaccines create, how this toxic metal finds its way to the brain, and how it contributes to autoimmune disease. Despite the positive response he gets from some colleagues, he reveals how the general scientific community continues to coverup the truth about aluminum toxicity, and how forcing a “retraction” is the latest weapon the pharmaceutical industry is using against those who speak out. bit.ly/vaxconv

What happens when a scientist uncovers an inconvenient but alarming truth? Today we get to know a university professor and neurobiologist who was among the first to discover that aluminum in vaccines causes serious brain injury. Dr. Shaw shares how injected vaccine aluminum is not easily detoxified and how it makes its way to the brain with serious consequences.

In Season 1 we gave you an overview of the infections we vaccinate against in the first nine months. Today we cover the rest of these: measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, hepatitis A, meningococcal disease, and HPV. How common and deadly are all these infections? What are the symptoms and how can you and your doctor make the diagnosis? And what is the risk versus benefit ratio of each vaccine? bit.ly/vaxconv

We continue our discussion about this neurotoxin with a comparison between ingested and injected aluminum and how one type clears the body efficiently while the other, by design, finds its way to the brain. We reveal the lack of safety research on this adjuvant and the mounting body of evidence that proves aluminum in vaccines, in any amount, poses a serious health hazard to children and adults. bit.ly/vaxconv

Aluminum is used as an adjuvant in half of our pediatric vaccines, and the medical community has reassured us for decades that it is perfectly “safe”. But where are the real studies to prove this claim? Today we give an overview on aluminum, discuss how and when researchers first learned that aluminum causes harm, and critique the medical establishment’s narrative that this neurotoxic metal is nothing to worry about. bit.ly/vaxconv

Those who push for mandates claim that exemptions are increasing and so are the numbers of unvaccinated and “susceptible” children. Today we reveal four studies that show the very opposite: most kids with exemptions are actually vaccinated, especially against polio, whooping cough, and measles — the diseases people worry about the most. Some are even fully vaccinated. And we discover that even parents who vaccinate think there are too many shots and that they weaken the immune system. bit.ly/vax...
