Ep. 126 - Why Are More Parents Questioning the Full CDC Vaccine Schedule? (Part 2)

Ep. 126 - Why Are More Parents Questioning the Full CDC Vaccine Schedule? (Part 2)

We continue this discussion with six more reasons why parents are questioning vaccines. Conflicts of interest between vaccine makers, government policymakers, and the medical industry are one valid reason to doubt the full schedule. Informed consent is often overlooked as many parents are coerced into vaccines without being told the risks. Vaccine mandates continue to threaten our medical freedom and are turning more people away from vaccines. Covid policies and the Covid vaccines are also waking people up to these controversies. And more parents are starting to suspect that unvaccinated kids are healthier and grow up with few medical problems.

Ep. 125 - Why Are More Parents Questioning the Full CDC Vaccine Schedule? (Part 1)

Ep. 125 - Why Are More Parents Questioning the Full CDC Vaccine Schedule? (Part 1)

Public confidence in the CDC childhood vaccine schedule continues to decline, and now, more parents are questioning this 69-dose protocol than ever before. Today we explore some of the questions these parents are asking, present the science and validity behind these questions, and how the medical industry tries to discount these concerns. Part 1 discusses why the vaccine conversation is so important, how the schedule has tripled over the last 30 years, how many vaccine-targeted infections don't even pose much risk anymore, vaccine side effects and how these are ignored, and concerns parents have about vaccine ingredients.

Ep. 124 - New Legislation in California: Once More into the Breach (Part 2)

Ep. 124 - New Legislation in California: Once More into the Breach (Part 2)

We continue our discussion of new bills in California that, if passed, would change life in CA, and likely the rest of the country, as we know it: Mandating Covid vaccine for all schoolchildren, even those in daycare, mandating shots for all employees, and lowering the age of consent for Covid vaccine to 12 years; Giving the CA Medical Board the authority to investigate any doctor, even without a patient complaint, for any reason, including doctors who spread "misinformation" about Covid; And giving the government access to your child's medical records.

Ep. 117 - National Podcast Tour Update and Using Fear to Sustain Covid Policies (Part 2)

Ep. 117 - National Podcast Tour Update and Using Fear to Sustain Covid Policies (Part 2)

What's the real solution to the pandemic? Can we really avoid Covid by locking down and masking up, or is it wiser to prepare our physical/mental health to work through this inevitable virus? Is our pharma-funded government really trying to keep us safe and healthy, or trying to control us with another year or two of lockdown despite the consequences? How will this fear affect our children in the long term? And what are the parallels between Covid response and the vaccine conversation? bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 116 - National Podcast Tour Update and Using Fear to Sustain Covid Policies (Part 1)

Ep. 116 - National Podcast Tour Update and Using Fear to Sustain Covid Policies (Part 1)

Today we announce the revival of our live podcast tour, and our first stop is Dallas, Texas, on November 5! We then take a deeper dive into masks, mortality, and the fear of disease. How is our society reacting to the "new normal" that our government and health policymakers continue to force upon us? Why are Covid deaths viewed as something worse than the vast millions of annual fatalities from all other causes? And why have we become so much more fearful of routine illness? http://bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 115 - Should Vaccines Really Be Developed At Warp Speed?

Ep. 115 - Should Vaccines Really Be Developed At Warp Speed?

Today we explain the new technology behind Moderna'€™s mRNA vaccine. Is a brand new untested technology really in our best interest in something as complex as vaccination? Then we read and discuss an internal email from Health and Human Services that reveals some of the motivations and processes involved in Operation Warp Speed -€” our federal government'™s fast-tracked plan to approve Covid treatments and vaccines. http://bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 114 - Are Mandatory Flu Shots Coming Your Way?

Ep. 114 - Are Mandatory Flu Shots Coming Your Way?

The flu shot just became mandatory for all Massachusetts infants, children, and young adults, passed by the Legislature without any public input. Numerous public health departments and Universities are following suit. But will this vaccine really protect us from influenza complications and keep us safe from Covid? Why are local jurisdictions mandating a vaccine with a such a dismal efficacy? And, will it possibly make you even more susceptible to Covid? http://bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 113 - In-Depth Interview with Dr. Bob Sears (Part 2)

Ep. 113 - In-Depth Interview with Dr. Bob Sears (Part 2)

Melissa continues her conversation with Dr. Bob with a look back at how The Vaccine Book came into being. Why did he write it, how did he formulate his approach to vaccines, and how have his viewpoints evolved in his updated third edition (2019) of the book? We explore alternative vaccine schedules and what risks they pose compared to the CDC schedule. And Dr. Bob shares his new understanding and appreciation for the health of families who don’t opt in for vaccination. http://bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 112 - In-Depth Interview with Dr. Bob Sears (Part 1)

We continue our interview series with a spotlight on Dr. Bob Sears. Melissa takes you on a journey into Dr. Bob’s past to learn what prepared him for life as a doctor. We discuss how his father, also an outlier who rose up as a champion for naturally-minded families, influenced him. We talk about what it’s like to provide a medical home for families who are kicked out from everywhere else and whether his patients truly are healthier than kids raised with a mainstream medical approach. bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 111 - Mandatory Covid Vaccine? Here’s How They Think They Should Do It

Ep. 111 - Mandatory Covid Vaccine? Here’s How They Think They Should Do It

Today we cover a New England Journal of Medicine report that seeks to establish six criteria that should be in place in order to justify mandating the Covid vaccine. But who decides if the disease is out of control? Will mandates be targeted at certain groups or at everyone, and will there be enough doses to go around? Will pharma be transparent enough with their safety and efficacy research? Will an injury compensation program increase or decrease trust? Is a voluntary system better? bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 110 - Mumps: The Disease and the Vaccine

Ep. 110 - Mumps: The Disease and the Vaccine

Is mumps a harmless childhood disease, or are the complications as common and serious as the media portrays? Are current outbreaks happening because some choose to opt out of this vaccine, or are most cases occurring in fully-vaccinated teens and adults because of vaccine failure? What are the side-effects of this live-virus vaccine, and are these risks actually higher than the natural disease? And did the inventors of this vaccine falsify their research to get it approved by the FDA? bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 109 - Top Five Talking Points in Your Vaccine Conversations

We recorded this lost episode back in January but never aired it because Coronavirus took over the airwaves. You never know when you’ll have an opportunity to share the human side of vaccine injury and the personal reason for your beliefs with friends and strangers. Melissa and Dr. Bob both share their top five topics of conversation to have ready for any situation. And the more conversations you have, the more confident you’ll become as you change hearts and minds around you. http://bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 108 - Special Announcements and Update on Hydroxychloroquine for Covid

Today we discuss a variety of topics, starting with how tolerance of varying viewpoints can bring a society closer together and unify those in the health freedom movement. We announce Dr. Bob's new podcast "A Tale of Two Sides" and Melissa's upcoming podcast (coming soon!). Then we dig into some new studies on Hydroxychloroquine and its role in Covid treatment, and offer some lifestyle and nutritional tips on how to beat the virus if and when it finally comes calling. http://bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 107 - If Asymptomatic People Don’t Spread Covid, What Are We All Doing This For?

Ep. 107 - If Asymptomatic People Don’t Spread Covid, What Are We All Doing This For?

The justification for social distancing, mask wearing, and shutting down our global economy was largely based on the fear that asymptomatic people will easily spread Covid. Early studies fanned these fears and created a whole world of people willing to “do their part” by staying home to stay safe, to shun social contact, and to shame those who don’t comply. But this research was flawed, and new studies show such spread is very rare and contributes very little to the pandemic. http://bit.ly/vaxconv

Jun 13, 202044:16
Ep. 106 - Are Children the Primary Spreaders of Covid?

Ep. 106 - Are Children the Primary Spreaders of Covid?

Many policymakers assume that Covid-19 is largely spread by children, leading to nationwide school closures and hesitation about re-opening amid unfounded fears of kids being asymptomatic carriers. Today we break down research articles and expert opinions that show the opposite is true: while the Flu is readily spread by children, Covid-19 is not. The available data shows that children contribute very little to the spread of the virus, and schools can re-open without a “new normal.” bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 105 - Is the New “Mystery Illness” in Children Connected to COVID?

Ep. 105 - Is the New “Mystery Illness” in Children Connected to COVID?

We often see the media ignore science in favor of eye-catching headlines. Fear sells, and reassurance does not. Medical experts have been reporting cases of Kawasaki disease or multi-organ inflammation syndrome as a rare Covid complication in kids, stressing it is extremely rare and no cause for alarm. Yet the media and officials are capitalizing on fear to push the shut-down agenda. We break down this condition and hear what experts say about whether or not you should be worried. bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 104 - Hometown Hero in Politics: An In-Depth Interview with Minnesota Senator Dr. Scott Jensen

Ep. 104 - Hometown Hero in Politics: An In-Depth Interview with Minnesota Senator Dr. Scott Jensen

Today we speak with Senator and family physician Dr. Scott Jensen who found a national spotlight on conservative news for his unique but accurate views on the polarizing Covid debate. He discusses how mandating anything from masks to the vaccine is a dangerous precedent for a free society and how the media and regulatory agencies use fear to guide the public. He shares his beliefs as a doctor who supports choice and a government official who supports liberty and individual freedoms. bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 103 - Pushing Back Against State Government: An In-Depth Conversation with County Supervisor Kirk Uhler

Ep. 103 - Pushing Back Against State Government: An In-Depth Conversation with County Supervisor Kirk Uhler

Today we are honored to talk with a Placer County Supervisor who gained attention with his outspoken views on California’s response to the Covid-19 outbreak. Kirk shares what constitutes a state of emergency and at what point a county should regain its constitutional autonomy once the data no longer shows significant risk. We also discuss what happens when a Governor goes too far in exerting power over the residents of a state and how extended lockdowns may be politically motivated. bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 102 - How To Make the Coronavirus Vaccine Mandatory (Part 2)

Ep. 102 - How To Make the Coronavirus Vaccine Mandatory (Part 2)

We continue our review of an extreme plan to mandate Covid-19 vaccination published in a Canadian periodical by examining the suggestions on how to punish those who don’t comply. Should those who opt-out be convicted as criminals, or be punished with loss of employment, extra taxes, and loss of insurance or pensions? Most disturbingly, the authors hone in on children—suggesting kids could be taken away from their parents to be force-vaccinated before being returned. http://bit.ly/vaxconv

May 15, 202049:50
Ep. 101 - How To Make the Coronavirus Vaccine Mandatory (Part 1)

Ep. 101 - How To Make the Coronavirus Vaccine Mandatory (Part 1)

Today we break down a newspaper article's road map on how to make Covid-19 vaccination mandatory and discuss how readers can recognize the tactics the media use to sell a certain narrative. Why does science become so divisive when political agendas are at stake? Do we need to rely on artificial herd immunity and are governmental police powers really warranted for THIS virus? Finally, should nations devote all their remaining resources in a race for a vaccine that might not even work? bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 100 - Our 100th Episode!

Ep. 99 - The Coronavirus Debate (Part 2)

Ep. 99 - The Coronavirus Debate (Part 2)

We continue our discussion by looking at why New York was hit so hard compared to other places and examining new concerns about overuse of ventilators. We share two preventable risk factors for Covid-19 disease severity — Vitamin D deficiency and obesity — and talk about how to reduce these risks. We look at Sweden’s approach that may keep their nation healthier and finish with some encouragement on how to talk with your legislator about re-opening your local economy. bit.ly/vaxconv

Apr 28, 202001:05:40
Ep. 98 - The Coronavirus Debate (Part 1)

Ep. 98 - The Coronavirus Debate (Part 1)

Today we summarize our beliefs about COVID-19 and discuss our nation's response to the pandemic. We break down the theory of social distancing by posing a very important question: Is there actual science to back up our nationwide lockdown policy? What about the possibility that isolation could be lowering our immune system, making us more susceptible to disease and the next wave of the outbreak worse? What do other physicians and epidemiologists think of the way this is playing out? bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 97 - How To Have a Vaccine Conversation with Medical Professionals (Part 2)

Ep. 97 - How To Have a Vaccine Conversation with Medical Professionals (Part 2)

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

Ep. 96 - How To Have a Vaccine Conversation with Medical Professionals (Part 1)

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/vaxconv

Ep. 94 - How to Respond to “Vaccinate Your Damn Kids!”

Ep. 94 - How to Respond to “Vaccinate Your Damn Kids!”

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/vaxconv

Ep. 93 - Coronavirus Update and How to Count the 69 Doses on the CDC Vaccine Schedule

Ep. 93 - Coronavirus Update and How to Count the 69 Doses on the CDC Vaccine Schedule

Today we announce changes to our upcoming PODCAST TOUR because of new state and federal action steps limiting public gatherings due to Coronavirus. Dr. Bob also offers some brief information on the virus, how testing works, and when to seek help. Then we break down the current CDC vaccine schedule and review exactly how many doses there are, how to accurately count them, and discuss why this is important for all parents to understand. bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 92 - Seeking Truth and Justice: An In-Depth Interview with Former DA Nico LaHood

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. bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 91 - Coronavirus: Should We All Be Concerned?

Ep. 91 - Coronavirus: Should We All Be Concerned?

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/vaxconv

Ep. 90 - Unintended Consequences of Tdap During Pregnancy: Decreased Immune Response in Infants After Their Own Vaccines

Ep. 90 - Unintended Consequences of Tdap During Pregnancy: Decreased Immune Response in Infants After Their Own Vaccines

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/vaxconv

Ep. 89 - Saving Humanity From Aluminum: An In-Depth Interview With Dr. Christopher Exley

Ep. 89 - Saving Humanity From Aluminum: An In-Depth Interview With Dr. Christopher Exley

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/vaxconv

Ep. 88 - Oprah’s Worrisome Connection with a Questionable Pharmaceutical Company (Part 2)

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

Today we reveal... the first four locations of our upcoming live National Podcast Tour!! Woo hoo! 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/vaxconv

We continue our discussion on New Jersey with another freedom fighter, new to this movement, and learn what motivates her and gives her the energy to prepare for the long game. We discuss the factors that galvanized so many citizens to swarm the capitol, how this inspired the legislators, and how the presence of the men of this state supported the mama bears. We finish by breaking down a recent article that gives eight lessons we can all embrace from our partners in the Garden State. bit.ly/vaxconv

Ep. 50 - Can Science Ever Truly Be Settled?

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 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?

Ep. 31 - Ethical Problems With Mandated Vaccines

Have you ever been told it’s your ethical duty to vaccinate for the good of the community? Is this truly the reason most people vaccinate, or do they only play the ethics card when concerns about vaccine safety are brought to the table? Today we share one of Melissa’s personal FB posts, examine the fallacies behind this often-used argument, and discuss the real ethical problems with any mandated medical procedures.

Ep. 30 - Senate Hearing Part 1: Measles Mania and Vaccine Misinformation

The Senate Committee on Health and Education held a hearing on March 5 to discuss the measles outbreak and vaccines. But instead of allowing testimony from both sides, as one would expect in a judicious society, the hearing consisted of ONLY pro-mandate supporters. Today we fact check the testimonies of the two senators leading the hearing and uncover the unified agenda to increase censorship of vaccine safety information.

Ep. 29 - Censorship: Are the Vaccine Thought Police Finally Here?

Advocates for vaccine safety and informed consent are now under fire: Congressmen calling for a ban on “vaccine misinformation,” Facebook and Amazon and others censoring science, and a medical/pharma establishment funding it all. We discuss the multi-platform censorship that will affect what every American is allowed to see, and we read a powerful letter from Congressman Posey. We finish by looking at some reminders from past and present writers who remind us of why freedom of speech is so important.

What if our kids are actually supposed to catch certain febrile illnesses in childhood? What if these bothersome but almost-always harmless diseases help us build our immune systems so we are healthier throughout adulthood? We speak with the author of a new book, “Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illness,” who may alter the way you think about certain childhood illnesses and the pharmaceutical efforts to eradicate them.

Today we discuss a recent article that exposes the conflicts of interest between the Centers for Disease Control and Coca-Cola. We reveal how the beverage company donated money to the CDC Foundation then utilized its CDC contacts to influence global laws governing the sugar and soda industries in order to increase soda profits. If the CDC is willing to work with a soda company this way, how much further are they going to go with pharmaceutical companies in order to promote their mutual agenda?

The First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion for all Americans. But what about religious reasons for opting out of medical care? Three States have already removed this constitutional right for its citizens, and more States are soon to follow. Today we talk with Kevin Barry, president of FirstFreedoms.org, about how vaccination is incompatible with many religions, what these specific reasons are, and how you can better get your religious leaders involved in standing up for this most sacred freedom.

Today we discuss the show, things you didn’t see, the problem with extreme labeling, and the unfortunate doctor-versus-parent dynamic the media creates in the vaccine debate. This social experiment also serves as an example of how both sides can find common ground and compassion on this complicated issue.

Ep. 20 - Measles: The Disease and the Vaccine

Is measles a harmless childhood disease for most kids, or is it as dangerous as the media portrays? Is it truly on the rise, or are the current outbreaks the same as we've seen for decades now? How can you recognize measles and what should you do if there's an outbreak near you? As for the vaccine, we discuss the potentially serious side effects and whether the risk is worth the partial disease protection. Finally, we talk about the other proven (natural) treatment for measles that nobody ever talks about.

Ep. 19 - Why Mandatory Vaccine Laws are Unnecessary, Unethical, and Won't Even Work

Three years ago, California became the first state in many decades to make vaccines mandatory for all schoolchildren, joining Mississippi and West Virginia. Now several other states are considering this legislation. Today we explore three reasons why these laws are wrong for our society, and uncover who is really behind this new lobbying agenda.

Ep. 18 - Breastfeeding and How It Helps Prevent Infectious Disease

Everyone knows there are unending benefits to breastfeeding, but have you ever thought about how breastfeeding relates to the vaccine conversation? We discuss several research studies that weigh in on breastfeeding, the reduction of infant mortality, and disease prevention. And we ask why our government and medical industry spend so much time and money promoting pharmaceutical methods of disease prevention instead of focusing on strengthening the foundation of the immune system naturally with breastmilk.

Ep. 17 - Do Vaccines Actually Make You Healthier?

While vaccines may provide some artificially-induced protection from specific infectious diseases, do they actually make you a healthier person? And what if research shows that the opposite may be true? Today we continue discussing part of JB Handley's book and break down the all-important question: Is following the complete recommended CDC schedule of vaccines really the best choice for long-term health and wellness?

Ep. 16 - Interview with JB Handley Pt 2: Did Vaccines Really Save Humanity?

Ep. 16 - Interview with JB Handley Pt 2: Did Vaccines Really Save Humanity?

We continue our conversation with JB Handley and challenge the widely-held belief that vaccines alone are responsible for reducing and eliminating infectious diseases. We also discuss how the benefits of vaccines tend to be overstated, and the risks are downplayed, all in in effort to help achieve compliance. And we look at how researchers may have suspected a possible autism/vaccine connection two decades ago and did nothing about it.

Ep. 15 - Interview with JB Handley Pt 1: Is the Autism Epidemic Real?

Today we introduce JB Handley and his new book, How to End the Autism Epidemic, and explore how the mainstream medical community has spent the last two decades refusing to acknowledge that autism is on the rise. JB shares how autism has affected his own family and how it turned him into a "reluctant activist." Together we discuss the media and medical machine behind our nation's vaccine program as they aim to maintain the narrative on this issue.

Ep. 13 - Natural Herd Immunity Vs. Artificial Vaccine-Induced Immunity

You’ve heard it is critical for our society to maintain herd immunity to keep the public from experiencing major disease outbreaks. But is this really true? Is vaccine-induced immunity the same as natural immunity, and does it offer the same level of protection? We present the pros and cons of natural herd immunity and discuss the downside of artificially induced immunity for disease management in society.
