ACOG states the hospital is the safest place to give birth and many families are convinced the hospital saved their baby. Sometimes it is true. Today Blyss and Dr. Stu talk about that and why much of the time it may not be and about the shaping of those perceptions. ACOG is still pushing untested jabs in pregnancy and do pediatricians take bonuses to do the same? Blyss has a birth to share and Dr. Stu returns from teaching breech & twin skills in Florida.

In 2015 the world was thrust into fear about the Zika Virus. In our Patreon segment Dr. Stu and Blyss discuss a chapter from the book "Crooked, Man Made Disease Explained" about the flawed science and thinking behind the paranoia.

Key highlights:

• RSV Prevention and Vaccination Challenges
• Debate on Vaccines and Medical Authority
• Cord Prolapse and Fetal Monitoring Misconceptions
• Hospital Interventions and Risks in Childbirth
• Home Birth vs Hospital Birth
• Vaccine Safety and the Zika Virus
• Toxins, Heavy Metals, and Vaccine Safety
