My almost 13 year old is being kicked out of school because I chose to do more research on the meningitis vaccination for him. He has neurological tics and chronic headaches, history of asthma and allergies. I am hesitant to vaccinate him and cause any more harm. I was able To hold the schools off last year when they wanted his pertussis updated but he is in a new school this year for 7th grade. The nurse let me know she needed the vaccination status for him to continue school. Told me he has 14 days from the start of school to have it done or get an exemption. I have in place an appointment to speak with a doctor from the frontline health advocates to have a federal exemption written. The interim principal called me at work Monday telling me Thursday would be his last day. I asked her if she knew this vaccine also has been known to cause meningitis and that it isn’t guaranteed to protect all its recipients. She said she wasn’t well versed in vaccines because she was just an interim and was only following NYS regulations. I told her we had something in place to work on an exemption. She told me he wouldn’t be able to come back until that clears and would have to go through her to the super independent so she can review it. She told me his absences would be marked as unexcused and he wouldn’t be able to have any work sent home. She then said they would do what they could to help make sure he stays up on his academics. I said “well it doesn’t seem like it!” What does it benefit them withholding his school work during the time he’s out? Why let him fall behind because I want to research more and speak to other doctors? It feels more like a punishment than a protocol. And if he does go back I fear they will treat him differently and discriminate against him because of my choices. This is unjust and unfair. There is no reason to withold his academics while I navigate an exemption. I’m worried they will not accept the federal exemption these doctors are writing for me next week and then we will be forced to speak with an attorney to fight the schools, drawing more attention on my son.

My third son was born Oct 2019 and I had all the “standard” vaccines done starting at one month up to a year old. I never did the flu and certainly not Covid when that came out. At 2 months of age he started developing severe immune responses, irritability, inability to sleep, fussy, not a great eater, colicky, covered in eczema to the point he was digging his skin raw from head to toe. Pediatrician discovered he had failure to put on weight around 1 so we did labwork. He had an egg allergy and sensitivity to dairy. At his 18 month visit I refused his Hep B booster. I told the pediatrician I did not believe he was in the risk group for Hep B and he agreed with me. He specifically said “he probably isn’t sexually active or using hypodermic needles but because of our insurance policies, all children who enter that lobby need to be up to date based on NYS vaccine standards”. I went back the following week with my middle son for his annual exam and declined his Hep A booster. Pediatrician didn’t even bat an eye with that one. None the less we haven’t been back and I’ve been on the search for pediatricians who don’t force vaccines and who recognize injury and reactions with more of an open mind than one through the eyes of big Pharma.

I’ve been harassed about vaccinating my children since 2019. I had an accidental homebirth after being turned away from the hospital. We went back after birth and they refused to let her go to the nursery which was fine. Then they took my daughter out of the room and injected her in the hallway as I was asleep in the middle of the night. My daughter refused to latch for 13 hours after the injections. Fast forward to her 2 month check up and I refused to get any injections without the father present. They accepted this and scheduled a 3 month appointment to do them. We rescheduled and both went to the 4 month appointment together. We were medically coerced and threatened with a CPS visit when inquiring about delayed scheduling so we could research the inserts. Terrified of medical kidnapping, we complied as we didn’t want to jeopardize the custody of our baby. We skipped an appointment for her 6 month injections and we were assigned a CARE team personnel through the health department. This woman called us 3 times a week. She left voicemail after voicemail o trying to inquire when we were coming in to keep shots up to date and what resources she could provide to get us there. In the meantime I tried switching doctors around the area and nobody would take us if we continued to not vaccinate. My daughter seemed to be sick and we ended up going back to the doctor. We were told she wa just teething as she tested negative on a pcr covid and flu test. We were again threatened with CPS over injections. With no luck in another office taking us in, we complied in fear of medical kidnapping. After her 12 month shots we noticed a huge difference in our child. Our once happy social butterfly was no longer happy or social. She had instant food aversions, refused to participate in social settings to the point of extreme meltdowns, started eye tracing, began extreme sensory seeking, started walking on her tippy toes, started trying to escape from homes & daycares, and developed extreme eczema. We brought this to our doctors attention and asked for an evaluation at her 18 month check up. We were denied and told she would out grow our concerns as they were “developmentally appropriate”. When we pointed out that none of her peers or (5) cousins in the same age range display these behaviors we were told kids display different things with different people and they may not be truthful in what they observe with their kids. We pushed for an evaluation regardless and were still told to wait until 2. So we came back at 2. This appointment was so scary. She had a hemoglobin level of 3. For the first time our doctor advised against the injections. Instead we were rushed to an ER and transferred to a children’s hospital for a blood transfusion. We were denied a direct donation due to the dangerously low hemoglobin. We were again threatened with CPS and complied in fear of medical kidnapping. After extensive testing, they settled with Transient Erythroblastopenia of Childhood. She did not present as pale nor were her nail beds. The only identifiable symptom she really had was sleeping extra. The doctors ensured that this was caused by a virus. When we asked how could that be when she’s been negative for all tests they’ve given & hasn’t been sick aside from her bought with teething. They implied we may not have been aware she had a virus. As we were still in the emergent stage of the pandemic, they pointed out how COVID can be asymptomatic and she may have been infected leading to the low hemoglobin levels. We checked her levels every month until she had consistent hemoglobin levels above 10.5. During the time it took to achieve this level, the doctor left the practice and wouldn’t put on paper her recommendation to stop vaccination. We’ve since stopped all injections and continue checking her hemoglobin through WIC as we stopped frequenting the doctor’s office all together. Fast forward to 2022 and I got pregnant with had a second child. I was harassed the entire pregnancy about the tDAP vaccine for me and my daughter and to finish my varicella injections. We denied all recommendations. When I gave birth in 2023 we denied all vaccines at birth. The hospital staff badgered us every hour to vaccinate our second daughter and myself for tDAP. We denied and were asked to sign papers acknowledging we were going against medical advice. We returned to the health department as they were the only ones who would see us given our immunization status. My second daughter was having issues with colic, gas, emptying her bowels, and processing dairy from my breast milk. There was a new doctor who was more understanding of our hesitation and worked with us regardless. We were asked at each appointment if our stance had changed and told we could schedule them whenever I was ready. At her six month appointment we didn’t see that doctor. Instead we saw a nurse: She ignored my actual concerns of the allergy to dairy my daughter was dealing with and decided we needed vaccine counseling. We sat in the office for 20 minutes while she lectured about the dangers we were exposing our daughter to and the consequences of failed herd immunity. She administer pamphlets, books, and an eerie magazine describing detrimental and fatal cases of children and adults alike who were infected with an illness or disease that “could have been prevented” with immunization. We still denied any injections and asked for this specific nurse to not be on our health care team. We were respected in our wishes until her 12 month check up. At this point we were finally in the clear to get a referral for allergy testing and looked forward to our visit to run her labs to keep an eye on hemoglobin. We were devastated when we went back to see the nurse we asked to NOT be on our team as our healthcare provider that day. She did her measurements and gave us a form to sign that we were going against medical advice. We decline to sign this and she declined to refer my daughter out for allergy testing. She stated we wouldn’t be seen anyways due to our immunization status. When we went to schedule the 18 month check up we asked to be scheduled with our regular doctor and nurse. The woman at the front desk claimed they couldn’t schedule out that far ahead as they didn’t have the nurses schedule. So we left that appointment with no further appointments scheduled for my second daughter.

This happened about 15 years ago but worthy of being documented: I went into a local general healthcare MD practitioner for a routine health exam/check-up, and while I was on the table with the doctor performing the usually up-front initial stethoscope on chest part of the exam, he asked me, "What about your vaccines.....are you all caught-up on them?" I said, "No, I don't do vaccines." To which he angrily responded, "Well, at least you get your children vaccinated - yes?" To which I answered, "No. First, they are against my religion. Second, if they weren't, I would still object because the so called science is jaded, corrupt, and therefore, vaccines cannot be healthy and appropriate for me or my children." To which he said, "OK, never mind you, but you should be brought up on child abuse charges for not having your kids vaccinated!" At which point it was obvious that both he and I were not going to continue with the exam and of course, at which point I put my shirt back on and walked out of his office given he clearly did not honor my religious beliefs nor my research on vaccines since 1965 to the present as a highly informed person with a highly informed and educated position on vaccines both as his patient and as a parent to my children. I know I know more than he does about both safety and efficacy! it's sad that he can be so sure of what the medical industry teaches him and tells him to do as what is best for patients when, factually, it is the medical industry, with all it's goodness and help, nonetheless, remains the #1 cause of death in our country! But doctors have no capacity to understand that statistic as it pertains to alternative ways to managing ones health and well-being. So it comes as no surprise to me that this doctor, like most, are not open to questioning what they are taught and directed to do for their patients and so most doctors remain closed minded to narcissistic levels (good, strong position in sad support to the dark side of their industry $$) as this doctor, like many, strongly believe that only he knows the TRUTH about what's best for the body, and what is and isn't clean, REAL science! He was not the right doctor to be caring for me or my kids and I wrote him off. Meanwhile, here I am nearly 2 decades later, and the COVID mRNA shots (have no right being called vaccines but the CDC changed the definition of vaccines to accommodate that they do nothing to prevent the transmission/contraction of the virus), and all the damage these mRNA erroneously labeled vaccines are causing and have caused, that I just decided that most doctors have no capacity to question their own authorities and the many conflicts of interest that abound in the healthcare system, and the potential for the power of MONEY and the corruption of POWER to result in human tragedy beyond anything imaginable. Worse than any war that's been fought so far. But the evidence gets buried by the powers that be. Nonetheless, I decided to say something about my experience with this doctor nearly 20 years ago that I'm sure is FAR more the norm than not when it comes to medical doctors and their highly narcissistic closed mindedness to TRUTH as it relates to the REAL SCIENCE FACTS rather than the SCIENCE as it gets reported in the HEADLINES!
