This is exactly my story. This part- exactly. -> "Eventually, a clinician shows up and announces that your child has autism. My sons were diagnosed in five minutes. I recall that dark winter day like it was yesterday, but it was twenty-two years ago.

Everything in our lives changed that day."

Literally.

My daughter's were born 9 years apart; 1981 & 1989. My eldest child had bad reactions to vaccines, such as swelling, redness, pain, and fever for days. So, when my second was born in 1989, I was hesitant about vaccines. I started her on the regular schedule that my eldest had, but couldn't bring myself to let her get all the vaccinations that were in the newer schedules. I managed to get around the schools forcing the vaccines, so my youngest graduated without having all the required vaccinations.

I look back now and am so happy I didn't comply with the schools or government. I have beautiful, healthy children and grandchildren. I just pray that by the time my grandchildren have their own, they won't have to fight the system to prevent the poisoning of their children.

My first child was born in 89’ and my second in 94’. Home birth. I didn’t vaccinate or use allopathic poison. I raised them on organic food, homeopathic remedies and herbalism. My older child had a trauma and turned to pharmaceuticals, became addicted, got FALSELY diagnosed with the most popular psychiatric disorder of the day and they had her on 8-13 drugs at a time. At 28 she died a sudden and wrongful death in a hospital in FL. Amazing. After years of struggle and fighting the most corrupt industry on the planet other than the chemical industry, I’m grateful for forward movement toward transparency so other mothers won’t go through this. I’m also grateful my younger daughter doesn’t want to have children because this world is too f%^ked.

I am so sad for your loss, especially after putting in so much effort to keep your children healthy.

I too raised my children on healthy foods. I pray I drilled enough knowledge into them to follow the same way.

I had a farm where I raised animals and grew vegetables and herbs, all natural. My daughter's used to complain about all the planting, but now they appreciate it.

My biggest worry now is my grandchildren, ages ranging from 12 to 23 years old.

How wonderful! I didn’t have a farm, but I had a beautiful organic garden. Yes, it seemed surreal. It didn’t seem possible that my daughter could get caught in this web, but she did.

I understand why you would worry. As parents, we have good reason .

I too had my children at home in the bedroom naturally. Started them on organic smashed green vegetables and fruit from the very beginning and didn't allow them to eat sugar of white flour. They used to buy Canned pineapple as a treat! Today they are both middle aged, have never had any teeth or any health problems and they both had their children at home too! I stopped trusting the AMA style in the 60's when they told me i would die if i had they kids at home .( At that time only ONE American President had been born in a hospital! )

Thank you, Sheila, for sharing your experience. I didn't know parents like yourself felt the way you did when it came to vaccines. Of course, there was a time when vaccines weren't a thing. We wouldn't be able to have this discussion if the course of human history didn't continue.

I like to think of vaccines as a way of reducing the risk of disease, not preventing it entirely. It's a common misconception that if you get the flu shot, then you won't get the flu. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

When it came to vaccines in the 1980s and 1990s, these were some of the most advantageous developments in vaccine history, if not in the history of modern medicine. These vaccines help to prevent significant morbidity and mortality among the general population. We are now blessed with scientists and researchers that are thinking of many new vaccines that one, not even 10 years ago, could fathom.

I think the most incredible vaccine that has been developed in my time as a professional has been the nonavalent HPV vaccine, called Gardasil by its trade name. This is a vaccine to reduce the risk of developing cancer. It was thought to be the most beneficial to women as it could prevent the development of cervical cancer. In fact, when I was a boy, the vaccine was marketed to girls in their preteens with the slogan, "HPV, one less, one less."

As a more recent development, the vaccine is now offered to both men and women up to the age of 45. Why is that? Well, studies have shown that their is a significant probability that women up until the age of 45 may not be exposed, or be significantly affected, to certain types of HPV virus to then develop cancer as a consequence. There are four major types of HPV that all medical professionals are aware that can cause cervical cancer, however the vaccine covers for nine of the viruses most commonly associated with cancer.

There are over 100 types of HPV viruses, so many that we don't know what the rest of them can do to the human body.

How does the HPV vaccine help men? Well, HPV is not only known to cause cervical cancer, which is also offered to be tested in your doctor's office when you receive a pap smear. HPV is also known to cause head and neck cancer. Head and neck cancer is an insidious disease and can cause significant morbidity to anyone afflicted. I still recall the day when I was a student doctor and I was brought to tears after seeing a patient that was battling the disease. It is unforgiving and causes a tremendous amount of pain to our patients and their families.

Thankfully, the HPV vaccine can help to prevent both cervical cancer and head and neck cancer from developing in our loved ones. When exposed to the common variants that cause cancer, some times the body can clear the infection on its own. However, if the virus remains dormant in the cells, that's when problems begin. The vaccine helps to mitigate the risk of the latter from developing, essentially providing exceeding benefit over risk to help prevent cancer development.

I could go at length to describe the idea behind immunizations, but perhaps that might be a better discussion to have with your doctor. Suffice it to say, vaccines are not at all mandatory. We are all entitled to what we think is right and to decide what medications and interventions we'd like to undertake. However, please do not feel that everything that is offered by your doctor is necessary. It is not.

Any doctor that tells you otherwise should probably speak with their colleagues to learn shared decision making. Shared decision making is not a novel concept coined by RFK, it is in practice every day you walk into your doctor's office. You consent to be evaluated by a medical professional and to be provided a medical opinion with a course of action. You are entitled to a second opinion. You are entitled to your autonomy as an individual.

I appreciate your ambition, but have to disagree with the HPV vaccine, and many others. The HPV vaccine is one of the worst at causing serious issues.

It isn't that I hate vaccines. It's is all the extra garbage in the vaccines, like aluminum.

Thank God for Kennedy and Trump for getting this conversation out in the open. For too long we have seen gaslighting of parents, especially moms, when they share their concerns with the medical establishment. Moms know their children better than anyone and should be listened to. At last we are going to get the answers needed to discover the truth and, hopefully, ways to help these unfortunate children.

Beautiful, optimistic message. Haters are gonna hate, but I believe great things are happening. We are talking about the elephant in the room...finally. I know we all want a quick fix, but we didn't get here overnight, and we won't get out of it overnight.

Sound Choice Pharmaceutical Institute did the vaccine/autism research 25years ago. Also the Independent Italian research group Corvelva have analyzed the contents of vaccine vials on the market with concerning results. Their first major finding was the abnormal amount of human DNA found in the vaccines analyzed. Many of the vaccines are cultured in human fetal cels. Corvelva's other investigations found a plethora of other contaminating genetic material: such as missing antigens, viruses, human and mouse DNA, etc.

This is a giant step, but I too believe that there are other factors that we must consider in the causation of autism. Keep looking into glyphosate, keep looking into SSRs that so many women are in, keep looking at the chemicals in our environment and our foods. We need to re-learn to eat whole foods that are clean and locally grown. We need to assist more with farming in the industrial and individual sense. So much that needs to be done and none of it will be an accomplishment by waving a magic wand, but by working hard to undo the great damage that has been done for so many decades. God bless the President, RFK and their teams 🙏🏼

Having great expertise concerning this topic please realize there is no single cause of Autism. There are players. As you mention glyphosaste (also depletes glutathione) like Tylenol. The list is much much longer. Just as Autism exists along a "Spectrum" so do other chronic degenerative dis-eases. As you mention the "hugeness" of this reveal is but the first. Expect great things...

My comment comes from many years in the field of pediatrics and watching how the incidence of autism, developmental delays, adhd, seizure disorders, anxiety and depression grew exponentially every year. Like I said, I am sure that there is a list of factors contributing to the autism spectrum, and we have to stop romanticizing it. There are causes, that the more we are aware, the more we can prevent.

Not sure what you mean by romanticizing? You are making the case for removing Xenobiotics from the Biosphere. That would be nice.

Now, in light of these efforts and because it comes from this administration people are “romanticizing” the realities of dealing and living with autism. Yes, every child is a blessing but to make it seem as these efforts minimize the importance of these children as people is ridiculous.

I’m grateful to both RFK and Trump for this very bold move towards truth telling, but It’s far from over . The partnering with PFIZER has rocked my world. Last night I dreamt that the “partnership “ was a strategic move that would place the CEO’s tyrannical work under the public spotlight so he could be seen, exposed and crushed.

Liability shields for the chemical companies continue to be an issue and it needs to be in the forefront when our representatives come up for reelection. Every last one of them must be held responsible. They are killing our children and other species and it’s not their right!!

truth seeker's avatar

Truly suspect your dream was a relevation. The liability shields like stopping direct advertising are on deck. Possibly more telling is removal of Thimerosal and very likely

the adjuvant Aluminum. Without those two heavy metals manufacturing is hamstrung.

However CONFINDENCE in the delivery boys (Medical Docs) has never been LESS.

This places the onus directly where it must be... on parents to actually know something about health. It does not come from needles as I reiterate.

I heard, on one of James Lyons-Weiler old "Unbreaking Science" shows, that synthetic "folic acid," which is in vitamins for pregnant women, can use the receptor for natural "folate" preventing the folate from being utilized. Should the potential danger of pregnancy vitamins with folic acid be brought to public attention too, like Tylenol? If so, probably a similar backlash will occur with people saying, No, it's the vaccines. But it's probably a lot of things, including vaccines in combination with other toxins.

I am happy for you that you finally saw a little light come in to give you hope that what happened to your boys after their routine vaccines won't happen to other children.

There is a problem when guidance and recommendations comes from government. It's pervasive and it's hard to change when the science changes. Do you happen to know if the use of folic acid instead of folate was based on cost-saving or science?

It's always cheaper when they can synthesize; bigger profits.

That's all big pharma does, profit.

When they discovered asprin in Willows, they figured synthetic would be better and cheaper. It was a big moneymaker, but caused a lot of problems medically.

Unfortunately, the way the President speaks often discredits what he has to say. His wandering, exaggerating style only serves to set him up to be the butt of jokes. The people that really needed to hear this did not because of that and because they are consumed with immature hatred.

Having decades of experience to include educating parents about the fact that health does not come from needles this topic is newsworthy.

RFK most definitely knows the truth about the vaxs and quaxs.

The joker in the hand was DJT hammering the issue. That is beyond brilliant as many of us have

come to anticipate. Howz about 7 wars brought to peace in 7 months?

The "texts" fingering one or another element as the "cause" of autism beg clarification.

The causes, as is true for malignancy, are many. Al used as an adjuvant is probably the most common culprit. As others correctly opine, Glyphosate, Mercury, Atrazine, Dicamba, DDT are all in the front row. Think contributory, characterized by Glutathione depletion.

The debacle was widely known decades ago with DPT and MMR shots. The only reason that its a current topic is the widespred deliberate death and disability from the mRNA Covid Quaxcine. Far greater than 20 million dead, a much larger # disabled.

A little secret: ( all are predicated on the "virus" fraud) facilitated by the Medical Cartel and Virologists.

That is where we are. The good news is renegade MD's exposing this fraud are very common to include some major players. Mike Stone Substack brings the receipts.

The false belief that needs remedy is the concept that health comes from needles.

Big P and the Medical Cartel worked in concert to get parents to believe this lie is the issue.

The fake news echo chamber (taking massive revenue from Big P) assisting.

Confidence in "Medicine" has never been lower. As it should be.

Louis, I am sorry your sons & family were injured & suffered for many long years with this scourge of autism; as SO many families--mothers, fathers & their children have, & still do.

The medical & drug profiteers who ignored you, marginalized you, called you conspiracy nuts & far worse, because many of you in the trenches of day-to-day warring with this two-pronged attack: the afflicting disease AND the deeply deranged disease-makers (Big Pharma vaccine creators) & their mad-max-funded pool of paid pushers in science & medicine, (who ignored everything except their GREED-- even their own souls sold!),

could NO LONGER HIDE from the eyes of those families; who now see, the crimes Big Pharma perpetrators have committed-- the untold suffering that was caused BECAUSE THEY KNOWINGLY HID THE DANGERS, THE DAMAGE, that such vaccines caused. Hidden under many names & rubrics (e.g. Autism was explained away as, "mentally- retarded", & much more obfuscation-- under the mysterious blanket of, "it's genetic'-- basically saying, "it's your fault parents, that your children are defective"). How corrupt, how shameful, how unjust, how utterly evil this Big Pharma System has been!!

NO MORE IGNORING the linkages to Autism; no more making it acceptable! The light has been shined onto/into the darkness of this physical, financial, social, moral, pharmaceutical nightmare of a disease called Autism, and it cannot be hidden any longer.

Thanks to the decades-long efforts of our intrepid HHS Secy, RFK, Jr., and now, his empowered team of scientists, doctors & researchers, thanks to the fearlessness of President Trump to call out the vaccine-for-profit industry, and BIG THANKS without a doubt, to the thousands upon thousands of parents who have woken up to this travesty & stepped out onto the front lines of this battle to save their children, everyone's children-- OUR CHILDREN! Those families, those children among us who have unwillingly, insufferably had to bear the worst of this disease for decades, without a voice. Now, that voice is speaking out, shouting for justice & recommpence‼️

And finally, thank you again, Louis, for using your voice that brightens the light of truth in this darkness of greed, lies, crimes against We the People, by the worst of the worst of entrenched power-brokers, CorPIRATES & 21st-C. billionaire Profiteers. THEIR time is short; in truth THEIR time is up.
