I have great admiration for this mother. I am sure she had many of the same concerns that a lot of other parents have, and she exhibited the courage to do what was in the best interest of her children.
When I first became a Mum, I never questioned getting my children vaccinated. It was just what you did when you have children – you do what your doctor tells you, because they know best.
My husband and I had never been told that there could be any adverse reactions, only a bit of redness and swelling at the injection site. So as each of our six eldest children got progressively sicker after each vaccination, we never made that connection.
Out of our six vaccinated children, our 16, 12 and 10-year-old have moderate to severe Autism, our 25-year-old has ADHD, our 14-year-old has a severe language disorder, and our 20-year-old has severe mood swings…
…They also suffered from chronic ear infections, bronchiolitis, asthma, eczema, psoriasis, urinary infections, gastrointestinal and autoimmune disorders, allergies, chemical sensitivities and intolerances.
We tried genetic testing to look for answers, but no reason was found for our children’s afflictions. So I started looking for answers on my own. I read books, went to seminars, read all the scientific studies I could get my hands on and that’s when I discovered that our family was not the only one…

70% of the media is funded by pharmaceutical companies.
I like the advice I once heard, to view the media through the lense of watching a commercial.
If you ever wonder why So many medically trained doctors are adamant about vaccines, then take a look at who is funding their medical schools and writing their textbooks.
If you take a step further you will find that their schooling is near absent of any training on how to recognize a vaccine adverse reaction, the critical importance of timely reporting of the vaccine adverse reaction and how to heal, when possible, a vaccine injury.
You would think that with the constant push for vaccines that there would be greater training on the topic. I bet that a lot of pediatricians would have appreciated this knowledge before beginning medical school.
Our society views medical doctors as experts on this topic, then why aren’t they?
Just because a medical school or the American Medical Association does not teach these things does not mean that the practicing physician does not have a moral obligation to learn these things on their own.
The only ones left to guard the health and safety of the child are the parents, and thus the need to hang on to our vaccine exemptions.
The media and medical establishment assault on parental choice is clear.
Each member voting in a legislature and governmental board has the responsibility to study these matters out.
Thankfully, there are thousands of parents and groups that are helpful in this area.
Eventually, vaccines should be an opt in choice not something that parents have to go through the effort to opt out of one or more.
Being that any vaccine can cause death or injury, a vaccine philosophical exemption should Always be available.
Like you, we read of Dr. Jeff Bradstreet’s death and were struck silent. A stalwart leader in treating autism, really helping families, his loss is huge in our community. Dan Olmsted interviewed Dr. Bradstreet 10 years ago for his The Age of Autism series with UPI. Here is the interview; the study he was calling for has finally been done and the results are awaited, a testament to his foresight and persistence. Our condolences to the Bradstreet family and the autism community who relied on his compassion and care.
