I will always stand up for what I believe in and what I know in my heart to be true. I will always be an advocate for causes that are dear to me. 

I will continue to speak truth and share my knowledge with other mothers. You cannot and will not shut me down. However, I will no longer discuss my view on vaccines with close minded people. 

I know where I stand with vaccines. I have a science degree to show I know what I'm talking about. I have a son to prove I know what I'm talking about. I don't need approval from anyone to know I'm doing the right thing by my family. 

I will always be a voice for the voiceless in this debate. Your harsh words and threats will not change my mind.

Motherhood is the toughest job we can have. Decisions between breastfeeding and formula, cloth diapers and disposable, vaccines and no vaccines, are hard and serious decisions. I as a mother have done, and will continue to do, the very best I can for my son. My choices are not up for discussion. They are not up for debate. If you cannot accept that, please excuse yourself and bully someone else. I will no longer be talked down to. I will no longer be pressured.

A real note on vaccines.

As a biologist, I know the science behind them. I know the real science behind them. Not the candy coated "science" the media likes to share with you. Media is owned by who? Check where the money goes and then you will realize whose agenda they are on. 

The media will tell you the measles outbreak from Disney came from an unvaccinated woman. Real science will tell you that the MMR vaccine sheds up to 28 days after being injected. It will also tell you that the 2011 New York outbreak started with a fully vaccinated woman. The media will scare you into vaccinating because of these big scary diseases, but it will fail to say that there are just a few hundred cases of measles each year (with no encephalitis or death, unlike the MMR vaccine which has caused many cases of encephalitis and many deaths) and that the United States hasn't seen a death from measles in 12 years. 

Some information can be found on the CDC's website and some you will have to dig to find. The CDC tends to say things and then take them back once they realize the amount of money they will lose. For example, when they admitted 98 million people had received a polio vaccine that was contaminated with a cancer causing virus and then took it back and deleted all evidence of ever stating that. Research Dr. Brian Hooker and Dr. William Thompson.

If you genuinely want to discuss the risks and benefits of vaccines and want to understand my point of view, I promise we can have a great conversation. But if you prefer to talk down to me and stick by your out of date and non-researched ways, then please save us both the time.

I research every single little thing that surrounds and pertains to my son and my family. I research the food we eat, where it comes from, and who the parent company is. I research everything there could possible be about the essential oils and cleaners I use. I study almost every item before I purchase it. I am constantly looking up reviews, reading books, going over articles, and asking around when it comes to things my family will be around. 

Vaccines are at the very top of that list. They are one thing I have read on, researched, studied for years, written about, talked about, shared about, you name it and I have done it one hundred times over. I know what I am talking about. I know how I feel about them. I know the risks involved. I have studied the diseases they claim to prevent against. I studied these diseases for years, may I remind you YEARS, not just one little google search. 

When doctors can hand me a vaccine insert that claims it prevents against a disease 100% (not 74% or 99%), I may consider it for my child. When doctors can show me the back of a vaccine package with zero side effects or at least small side effects like a headache (not encephalitis, seizures, autism, or death) then I may consider it for my child. When I see the day where mothers don't see their perfectly normal child stop talking just hours after a vaccine was given, I may consider it. If there comes a day where the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program doesn't pay out over 120 MILLION DOLLARS each year to families who have had their children disabled or killed after receiving a vaccination, ehh maybe I will consider it. Until then, I will continue to refuse vaccines.

Even in college when I was earning a degree that said I was supposed to agree with and push vaccines, I didn't. How could I when I knew what the ingredients were? How could I when I saw what the ingredients did? Back then, those were just numbers. Now I am a parent. The moment I conceived my son I was given authority over him to make the best decisions for him. I am responsible for protecting him. Those numbers I saw a few years ago have now turned into lives. I am responsible for this precious boy's life. 

The ingredients in vaccines don't support life. Formaldehyde, aborted fetal tissue, canine kidney cell tissue, bovine serum, chick embryo cells, and human diploid lung fibroblasts do not support life. 

The side effects from these things are real. Sit down with a mother whose son stopped talking an hour after a vaccine was given. Ask her how the pediatrician looked out for her son. Ask her about why she can't sue the doctor who administered it or the pHARMaceutical company who made it because they are extremely legally protected. Ask her about her day. Ask her about her emotions when she looks at pictures of her perfect one year old baby and then looks at her seven year old boy who still can't talk in sentences. These women are real. They are the strongest women I know. They face challenges we will never face, but then are ridiculed and laughed at because they "blame it on the vaccine" instead of coincidence. Shame on you for bullying these women. 

I have numerous reasons why my son will not receive another vaccine any time soon, if not ever. The ingredients, side effects, doctors receiving bonuses from big pHARMaceuticals, the vaccine injury compensation program, personally knowing mothers who have children directly affected after receiving a vaccine, vaccine shedding, compromising my sons immune system, and many, many more. 

You should not fear my son. You should not fear your child being around my healthy son. After all, if you trust vaccines so much and swear by them protecting your child 100% then you shouldn't worry about your child catching anything from mine. If anything, I'm the one who should be worried about my son being around your freshly vaccinated child. 

Let me put this out there...I am not anti-vax. I am pro-choice. I believe every parent has the right to vaccinate or not vaccinate based on what they feel is best for their child. I believe that fully. I am pro-research. I am anti-fear based decisions. Do your research, take as long as you need to with as many resources as you can. I personally love The Vaccine Book by Dr. Sears. He gives awesome unbiased research. Make your decision after you have done well thorough research. And know that this does not define you as a parent nor does it mean you can't change your mind later down the road. I am not anti-vax. Who knows, I may change my mind in ten years if circumstances change as I stated before. I am pro-choice. You are the only person in this world who knows what is best for your child. Mothers know best, not doctors. 

After this post, I am done with this debate. I will be more than happy to discuss things further with you and answer any questions you have, if and only if, you do your research and come to me with an open mind. I am over the hate. I am done with the empty threats and fear based lies. 

I will no longer tolerate close minded people who are set in their ways. I will no longer converse with people who call me names and tell me I am harming my child. I will no longer be available to those who choose anger, adopt fear, and spread hatred. I will no longer deal with unsupportive family and friends who believe our corrupt government knows better for my son than I do. I will no longer subject my family to violence.

Please open your mind and research before you make a decisions about your children's lives. Thank you for your time and understanding.

xoxo
