I have been called names and yelled at for my beliefs many times.  People have belittled me for choosing a different path.  My own family has made fun of me and put me down for wanting something different.  But there is one thing I know: when truth is presented, we have the choice to keep living our lives the way we have always lived them or we have the choice to stand for truth.  I cannot back down from truth no matter how many times I am ridiculed.  That is why I love supporting the movie Vaxxed.

I love children!  Children are my life.  Even as a young child, my goal was to be a mom when I grew up.  I have always had a special place in my heart for children.  We all want to protect our children from diseases.  We all want our children to be healthy and strong.  Let me back up a little.

The birth plan for my first-born child went out the door when my son made his arrival seven weeks early via a life-saving emergency C-section. He remained in the hospital for a month where he developed and grew.

As a new mother, I wanted the best for my baby.  I took him to the doctor for each of his appointments where they gave him every required shot.  When my doctor told me my son needed extra shots because premature babies are more susceptible to the whooping cough, I of course agreed.  I didn’t realize I had a choice.  It’s just what we do for our children.

Then my child developed repeated ear infections; it seemed like he was always sick and on antibiotics.  We even got tubes in his ears to help them drain, but he never got better.  I asked myself, “Why is this not helping my child?  What else can I do to help my son be healthy?”  I knew there had to be a better way.

During this time a new book came out called Natural Cures They Don’t Want You to Know About.  I felt like I needed to read it to get some answers.  Natural Cures marked the beginning of my awakening to a new world of healing.  It taught me that I am responsible for my own health as well as the health of my family. It was a major eye opener for me.  After finishing Natural Cures, I would walk down the grocery store aisles and think to myself  “I can’t buy any of this junk.  This whole grocery store is nothing but fake food.”  I knew I had to find a new way to do things if my family and I were going to be healthy.

Part of my awakening included the study of vaccines. The more I researched them, the less I liked my doctors and nurses injecting my children with them.  I fearfully told them no—the fear of what if.  The nurses told me that if I didn’t vaccinate my child that he could catch diseases and spread them to other people.  It was a scary time for me because I knew that vaccine ingredients are not safe, but I was also afraid that my child might get sick if he didn’t get the vaccines.  I stood my ground even though fear was in the back of my mind.  I sensed that my child could not be healthy if he continued to be injected with vaccines.  I decided I would just stay quiet because I didn’t want other people telling me I was a bad mother for saying no to vaccines.

As I continued on the holistic path, I saw more and more vaccine-injured children.  My heart broke with every encounter. Would I let my fear of others prevent me from sharing what I knew to be true? Would I stand up and be a voice for these children?

The movie Vaxxed reaffirmed my decision to speak out. It gives a voice to vaccine-injured children and to their parents.  That’s one of the reasons I love the documentary so much.

Last night I attended the final screening of Vaxxed in a full house at the Thanksgiving Point Megaplex. I, like hundreds of other people, walked away knowing that we have the right and the responsibility to stand up for our medical freedoms.  These freedoms are being taken away.  Vaccine mandates are now the law in California. The citizens of Utah recently defeated a vaccine-related bill that would have made it more difficult for parents to claim vaccine exemptions.

Many people tell me about the importance of herd immunity.  If we don’t vaccinate our children then we can’t maintain herd immunity and there will be disease outbreaks.  But in reality, we’ve never met the definition of vaccine-based herd immunity.  We as adults were vaccinated as children so those vaccines have long since worn off. We may be vaccinated, but we are not immune to disease.  The theory of herd immunity can only work if 95% of “the herd”—everyone, including adults—was recently vaccinated. The government is already using that argument to justify the implementation of mandatory vaccines for adults as well as for children.

Fear is running the vaccine industry.  We have to decide if we are going to give into that fear.

I have also had people tell me that vaccine injury rarely occurs and it’s well worth the risk. Vaccine injury is not rare.

The people standing in the photos are parents and family members of vaccine-injured children.  It’s time to advocate for these families and to demand a vaccine program that places the interest of children ahead of the interest of profit.

Vaxxed is not anti-vaccine.  It’s pro-safety and pro-medical freedom. We are blessed to live in a free country with God at its head.  Vaccine mandates are anti-freedom and anti-American. We have an obligation to preserve the freedom others died to give us.

In a free country, vaccination must remain a personal choice. Where there is risk, there must be choice. And as we saw in Vaxxed, when that risk is compounded with fraud, there must also be choice. The CDC has demonstrated that it cannot be trusted.  Vaccines are not universally safe. Vaccine injury is at an all time high.

Even the strongest vaccine advocates must acknowledge that CDC fraud is intolerable. If the vaccine program is going to continue, it will do so because we the people will hold our elected officials accountable to clean up government corruption. If the vaccine program fails, it won’t be vaccine-informed parents that bring it down; it will be the vaccine advocates that refuse to see and to fix our very broken vaccine program.
