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/v

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/vaxconv

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 narrative?

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/vaxconv

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/vaxconv
