It is a fundamental covenant. When parents send their kids to Texas schools they trust educators to protect their safety.

A mother whose son attends Alief ISD’s Miller Intermediate says that faith was badly broken
when her child was immunized without her consent.

“On January 21st he received three vaccines without my consent,” said the mother whose identity Fox 26 has agreed to conceal to protect her son’s privacy.

The immunizations, confirmed on shot records, were delivered by personnel from Care Van, an affiliate of the Caring For Children Foundation of Texas and a longtime Alief ISD partner.

The parent says she’s particularly upset that her son was instructed to answer health questions on the pre-immunization questionnaire.

“I get home and my son my 11-year-old tells me they set him down and had him fill them out,” said the mother.

And it gets worse. Among the trio of immunizations delivered was the HPV vaccine, an inoculation against a sexually transmitted virus…

Meet Kash#android#iPad#retweet

Kerri’s narrative (Kash’s mother):

On June 23rd, we took our son into the pediatrician’s office to receive his one-year vaccines. We were getting ready to go on vacation and we wanted to get it over with since they were already late. Just like most other parents, I dreaded these appointments. I couldn’t stand taking my sweet, smiling, cheerful child into the doctor to have him poked and prodded, but I didn’t know I had a choice. I ran a home-based child care facility and I thought immunizations had to be current for that, as well as future schooling, camps, etc. Kash is the youngest of 5 siblings, all of whom have been vaccinated, and we never had issues, so unfortunately, I didn’t put much thought into doing any of my own research.

Kash was immunized, I got him dressed, and we both left the doctors office in tears. The next morning I was cuddling with Kash when he first woke up, and he began to vomit. When he finished, I turned him over and tried to get him to communicate with me, or even respond, and I got nothing from him but a blank stare. His body was limp, he was staring off into space, and he wouldn’t even acknowledge his own name. Knowing something wasn’t right, we took him to the closest ER, which was about 5 minutes away. After evaluating him the attending physician told us that more than likely Kash had suffered a seizure due to “system overload” from his vaccines the day before. We were told to take him home, let him rest, keep an eye on him, but that everything SHOULD BE okay…

Vaccines—Are They Still Contributing to the Greater Good?#android#iPad#retweet

By Dr. Mercola

The multiple-award winning documentary, The Greater Good, was initially released three years ago.

Weaving together stories of families whose lives have been forever altered by vaccine damage, the film reveals how modern medicine, especially when driven by politics, ideology, and big business, can rob you of some of your most basic human rights, including voluntary, informed consent to medical risk-taking.

The results of such politically- and financially-driven public health policies can be devastating. The provocative, ground breaking film, The Greater Good, includes prominent voices messaging about vaccination and health today.

This includes those pushing for mandatory vaccination policies and those opposing forced vaccination policies. It focuses on how we can create positive change and reduce fear so that parents and doctors can work together to prevent vaccine injuries and deaths.

There needs to be an open, rational discussion about vaccination, infectious diseases, and health. After all, don’t all of us want our children to be healthy and safe from unnecessary harm?

If we want to protect the health of ALL children, we cannot continue to ignore the signs that we’ve gone too far with public health policies making mandatory use of multiple vaccines in early childhood as our nation’s No. 1 disease prevention strategy —to the point that we may well be sacrificing too many children’s lives in the name of “the greater good”…

From my point of view, there can be little doubt that we need to review the safety and effectiveness of the current vaccination program in the US, and this review needs to include methodologically sound investigative studies that are not compromised by conflicts of interest within industry and government.

If we don’t do that now, we may not be able to stop further damage to the health of future generations…

The lion who had no courage#android#iPad#retweet

On my “Life with Autism” blog, it is my hope that the words you read are inspirational in some way. But on this blog — I wanted it to be different. I wanted the pictures to be more powerful than the words. Here will be some of our most powerful pictures in our “Life with Autism” – with only a few words to explain.

Doing away with vanity & dignity tonight.

I’m sure Brandon would forgive me if perhaps it would make one member of the mainstream media try and help him… I doubt they’ll ever see this, much like I doubt today’s seizures would be the last.  But, one can hope…. 

He’s had seizures yet again today…and finally at 8pm he tried to get up.  He’s been on the gymnastics mat on the floor of his bedroom right where he landed from the first seizure in falling out of bed this morning. Most parents have the luxury of waking up to the sound of an alarm.  I frequently wake up to the sound of choking, some body part banging against the wall, or a loud thud as he hits the floor.  I met him in the hallway and by the look in his eyes I knew we better go back in his room and not dare try and go downstairs.  It’s hard to describe seeing your child like that.  Hungry, or perhaps thirsty, wanting to just go downstairs to eat or drink, yet somehow not understanding why his body just isn’t willing to do what his mind wants.  So, back in his room, we sat on the bench at the foot of his bed and I gave him his beloved straws and we listened to music.  He dropped his straw and I watched as he tried to get it. His arm jerked this way and that.  Eyes focused on the straw, arm focused on anything but.  I was about to call down and ask Todd to bring something up for him to drink.  To try and get some few precious calories in.  But too late.  The arm started jerking again, his head slumped, and his entire body curled up in a ball and started to convulse right there on the bench in my arms.  All I could do was try and keep him steady…
