Hello, fearless parents!

Which of the 16 vaccines do children really need?

I hear this question a lot.

"I don't have the time to research this. Can't you just tell me the important ones? Like not chickenpox but definitely polio, right?"

Uh, no and no. And I'm really sorry I can't because I know this topic is a huge source of stress for many parents. It's impossible for anyone to appropriately and accurately evaluate the risks and tradeoffs for your family. It's an intensely personal and private and involved decision.

I can still help, though.

A special Fearless Parent™ guide to the 16 vaccines

I've collected some indispensable information on the 16 childhood vaccines that you may want to evaluate including:

-vaccine ingredients
-package inserts
-Vaccine Information Statements (VIS)
-CDC anad VAERS data including deaths from the vaccine
-CDC Pink Book information

The report spotlights special issues such as:

-bacterial or viral
-multiple doses
-heavy metals
-live virus, inactivated, toxoid, subunit, conjugate
-disease prevalence
-vaccine effectiveness
-strains covered and not covered
-serotype replacement (i.e., why did Prevnar 7 become Prevnar 13?)

and lots more.

It provides links to peer-reviewed studies and other establishment sources.

It explains why it's imperative for parents to take responsibility for getting educated about this very important medical intervention.

It includes a historical timeline of vaccine licensure and approval, starting in the 1700s. This allows you to see the dramatic acceleration in the childhood vaccine schedule over the past several decades. Our vaccine policy may feel normalized and routine but the degree to which we are vaccinating children today is unprecedented in the history of mankind.

The report is not comprehensive. That wouldn't be helpful to the average person. There's way too much available information to wade through. But at over 7,000 words, there's more enough. It's a really good start and carefully curated to save you a ton of time.

Going to doctors we don't love puts our children at real risk of receiving medical care we don't want. It keeps these doctors in business and real change at bay.

We know the transition from one paradigm to another isn't easy. Many families are straddling the divide -- pursuing alternative choices while continuing to use conventional doctors -- proudly holistic until something goes wrong. There are real risks and pitfalls of this approach that many parents may not realize. It's the process of unhooking from mass indoctrination and restoring true parental authority. This is a huge topic.

We will also address the very real extent to which parents have lost understanding of what "illness" means to the body. There will be prepared remarks and an extensive Q&A. You'll be able to ask about anything that's on your mind.

Please donate, bid in our auction, and support our event on March 24. With your help, we can continue to gather and learn in community. It's really quite magical when we do.
