Our Story.

In February 2021, I asked someone to show me a study that looked at the entire vaccine schedule and proved it didn’t increase the risk of autism. I was sent several studies and read through all of them. None of these studies examined more than one vaccine, and most only focused on one ingredient.

Since that day, I haven’t stopped reading. I’ve gone through study after study, and the facts are undeniable: vaccines do contribute to autism. Beyond autism, they are linked to ear infections, type 1 diabetes, asthma, and more. Why are we letting pharmaceutical companies off the hook for the damage they cause? If any other product harmed or killed children at the rate vaccines do, it would be pulled without question. At the very least, it would have to be properly labeled, with the risks clearly listed for consumers.

If your child is injured by a vaccine, the pharmaceutical company bears zero liability. They don’t even have to show up in court. It’s our tax dollars that pay for those injuries. So what incentive do these companies have to make their products safer?

We are forcing parents to vaccinate their kids—vaccines that have never undergone double-blind placebo safety testing—in order for them to attend school. How are more people not outraged by this? Instead, I see the opposite. People get offended or angry when I speak the truth, or they ignore it completely. I don’t understand it.

I want to share Isaiah’s story now that I’ve reviewed his medical records and notes.

Isaiah’s first two months of life were normal. His well-child visits showed no concerns; everything seemed fine.

Just before he turned two months old, I received IV and oral antibiotics for an infection. I was exclusively breastfeeding because I believed “breast is best,” not considering that the antibiotics could be passed to Isaiah. Antibiotics disrupt the gut microbiome, which plays a critical role in immune system function. A study on cephalexin, the antibiotic I was given, states that it passes through breast milk and can disrupt an infant’s gastrointestinal flora.

At the end of my antibiotic treatment, I went in for a postpartum follow-up and was given a flu shot. I normally never get flu shots, but I did that year to protect Isaiah. I was told the best way to protect him was to ensure those around him were vaccinated. Now I know that I probably harmed him more than I protected him.

Influenza vaccines still contain thimerosal, a preservative removed from most children’s vaccines in the early 2000s. Many studies link thimerosal to autism—at least 180 studies show its harmful effects. The flu vaccine insert even states, “data is not available to assess the effects on the breastfed infant.” I should never have been given that shot.

A week later, Isaiah was vaccinated for rotavirus, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, and polio—six vaccines at once, after just being exposed to an influenza vaccine that isn’t safe for children under six months, and after being exposed to antibiotics that weakened his immune system. How did no one stop and consider that this combination might not be safe? They don’t test the safety of multiple vaccines given together. They barely test the safety of one.

That same month, Isaiah had a developmental assessment done. Studies have shown this screener to be accurate and reliable. Isaiah scored a 109. Fourteen months later, he was given the same screener and scored a 62. He went from being advanced in every area to being developmentally delayed in every area. He wasn’t born that way.

After the two-month mark, his head began to grow significantly. In less than a year, he went from the 32nd percentile to greater than the 99th percentile for head circumference. He stopped eating and started screaming. Looking back at his medical records, the connection is clear: Isaiah would get vaccinated, and within a week, we’d end up in urgent care with no explanation. Every. Single. Time.

By four months old, he was diagnosed with failure to thrive. Just over a year later, he was diagnosed with neurological impairment, macrocephaly, and developmental delay syndrome. He now also has diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder, speech delay, dysphagia, anxiety, and OCD.

I would much rather this be a genetic issue because the regret I live with is overwhelming. I’m working hard to find ways to help Isaiah, and he’s doing well, but I would give anything to go back and do things differently.

I’ll never tell another parent what choices are best for their family. But I urge parents to please do your own research before deciding. I used to think there was no unbiased information available, but that’s not true. There are many scientific research articles out there. PubMed is a great place to start. The studies can be hard to read at first, but it’s so important to know the facts for yourself. No one else will look out for you and your family like you will.

You wouldn’t make a large purchase without researching it first. If you’re buying a new home, you’d likely have an inspection done. If you’re buying a new car or appliances, you’d probably do some research to make sure they aren’t known for having issues. The same diligence should apply to something as critical as your child’s health.
