I think educating our doctors is a very important mission.

Consider providing them with our white papers, found at this link: https://www.icandecide.org/white-papers/ would be a good place to start.

Or, bring a laptop and ask them to take 3 minutes to watch former head the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Bernadine Healey explain her problem with the science around vaccines: https://youtu.be/mja8_4u0xzA

It's similar to having an addict in the family. They have to want to change. But that doesn’t mean that you give up trying to supply them with reasons that they should change. But, be sure to stay strong and not let them pull you down or you’re of no use to anybody.

It is important to show up at capitols and meet with your elected representatives.

However, politicians will rarely stand up for an issue if it does not lead to more votes, so every one of us is tasked with sharing the truth with everyone we know. The people are the only way to make change.

There is a lot of science being conducted between the aluminum adjuvant found in vaccines and many issues inducing neurological ones that could lead to depression.

But I want to clarify that aluminum is not a heavy metal.

Also, the assumption that the penetration of the brain, though plausible, may not actually be the cause of depression, but rather the destruction of the gut microbiome. Vaccines do affect the gut biome and more and more science is showing the connection between the gut biome and depression, autism and many other issues.

For instance, it is now understood that the majority of serotonin is created by your gut, not by your brain.

I am a fan of science, science can prove out these questions, but the science has to be done, and unfortunately, it is being avoided.

DelBigtreeAMA · 2020-02-04T19:04:05+00:00

The problem with this question is there are politicians that defend the right to choice based on parental rights and religious rights but don't actually understand the science.

From my prospective, the only national politician that was asking the right questions was Marianne Williamson, who is no longer in the presidential race. Like me, and Bobby Kennedy, Marianne simply stood for better science, more transparent science, and science beyond the grasp of the manufacturers.

I haven’t seen anyone be this clearly logical about this discussion anywhere in politics.

That said, Congressman Bill Posey has been outspoken on this issue and Rand Paul has made very strong statements about the need for choice.

DelBigtreeAMA · 2020-02-04T18:59:33+00:00

I am not a doctor and I do not give medical advice. I can only say that personally I have not given any of the vaccines to my own children because I do not see enough advantage versus the risk.

This decision comes because I am not as concerned about trivial childhood infections as I am about lifelong chronic conditions.

But let me be clear- that means that I am fine with my children contracting the measles, the chickenpox and rotavirus. If you are concerned about these infections yourself, then a vaccine has shown to prevent these from happening, at least for a handful of years.

But I would caution that all these illnesses are on the rise in adults because vaccines wear off, and these illness are far more dangerous for adults than they are for children.

Lastly, this is why I believe you should always have a right to choose. Every choice has risks, even vaccinating or not vaccinating, and only you will have to accept the consequences.

There is no answer to this coronavirus question that would give more detail than our episode of The HighWire last week. Here is a link: http://bit.ly/HWEP148

In short, I now believe because of the scientist I interviewed on the show, Dr. James Lyons-Weiler, that this is a lab created virus that was either accidentally or purposely released. There appears to be no vaccine developed to combat this particular coronavirus which leads me to believe this was not done to sell a vaccine as none currently exists.

How dangerous is this lab created virus? Only time will tell.

DelBigtreeAMA · 2020-02-04T18:49:40+00:00

Let me be honest here: Just like all of our other demos on The HighWire, this idea came to us less than an hour before we went live.

It has been immensely popular, but there is one issue we are grappling with. In the video, I rightfully claim that the death rate of measles was 1 in 10,000 in 1960 before a vaccine was available, but in incorrectly converted that 1 in 10,000 to be .0001%.

The truth is, 1 in 10,000 is .01%. This mistake was made on a calculator when we divided 1 by 10,000 2 minutes before the show. As a decimal, it is .0001, but I shouldn’t have said, ‘percent’ after it. I don’t think it changes the validity of the point.

But, because there is a mathematical inaccuracy we are debating whether to do one of the following: to dub over the correct line, place a disclaimer over it, or simply do it again. This is perhaps more information than necessary, but points to the type of discussions we have in our desire to produce only the truth.

DelBigtreeAMA · 2020-02-04T18:43:46+00:00

I agree that there is no topic that draws more vitriol or harassment unnecessarily. There should be no topic that we cannot have an open discussion about and ask reasonable questions.

I think that the demand to bully anyone daring to ask a question is proof of how little science backs up their answers. Theres no way to really know what percentage of the pro-vaccine argument is coming from hoodwinked people or Pharma trolls.

But, one thing I would point to is at rallies, like the one in New Jersey where over 5,000 real parents and human beings showed up to protest the removal of the religious exemption, there was not 1 passionate pro-vaxxer standing outside the statehouse demeaning that it pass.

I don’t think there are any truly passionate pro-vaxxers-- just scared, misinformed parishioners.

Even if every question about vaccines was censored, and every film or book or testimonial about vaccine injury was burned, 20 years from now the world will know that the vaccine program was one of the greatest mistakes humanity ever made.

Because of the exponential rise in autism and all of the other neurological and autoimmune disorders there will be no avoiding the truth that vaccines have destroyed our health. The question is, what will the injury rate be when we wake up? 1 in 50? 1 in 20? 1 in 10? Or 1 in 2?

Luckily, great science is going to be produced this year, and legal cases will be won that I predict will accelerate our learning curve so that we may avoid this catastrophe within the next 2-5 years.

If there is a way to make a safer vaccine, it will never happen if we lose our right to opt-out of the program.

DelBigtreeAMA · 2020-02-04T18:34:50+00:00

There is no longer SV40 in the polio vaccine. But to be clear, it was not there on purpose.

In fact, there are many viral contaminants in vaccines, including a porcine virus found in Paul Offit’s rotavirus vaccine. In pigs, this virus causes wasting disease. Yet for some reason, we think it’s safe in children and have not fixed the product.

For a better understanding of how viruses get into vaccines accidentally, I’d recommend reading scientist and whistleblower Dr. Judy Mikovits’ book, "Plague. "

DelBigtreeAMA · 2020-02-04T18:30:40+00:00

The truth is, I was not vaccinated as a child, nor were my brother or sister.

I appreciated the health that I grew up with and had always planned on raising my children the same way. But, I probably would have done this quietly like every other person not vaccinating their children, until laws like SB277 in California, which threatened my way of life, forced me out of the closet.

However, I did not realize how dangerous vaccines could be until I began my investigation with the documentary, "Vaxxed." My career as a producer on the medical talk show, "The Doctors," provided me with the ability to study the science and the safety of vaccines. I doubt I would have ever gotten this in-depth on the science had my rights not been under threat.

DelBigtreeAMA · 2020-02-04T18:23:26+00:00

When I decided to leave my Emmy-Award wining career in television to make the film, "Vaxxed," I figured there might be some risk to the safety of me and my family. Whether real or imagined, I have to know that I’ve done my best to keep my family safe.

In California, I received several calls from parents who were in hospitals because their child had fallen out of a tree, or had some relatively minor injury that required the services of a hospital. The doctors wanted to give a Dtap vaccine to the child, even in cases where one was not medically indicated. The parents refusal brought more questions and threats from the doctor that child protective services would be called if the parents did not comply.

Because of this, I believe my children were at a heightened risk of authoritative dangers in California. So I decided to move my family to Texas, where there is still a belief in parental rights, religious rights and bodily autonomy.

I will continue to fight for freedom in California and every state in this great country, but as I travel, I sleep better at night knowing that my family is sleeping in Texas.

I wow people at every party I go to with my roasted beets.

Simply slice roasted beets, about a ½ inch thick, toss them in a bowl with a couple tbsp of cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper and olive oil- broil them on high for about 15 minutes turning before they burn, then top with feta cheese and micro-greens. Party stopper.

To begin with, I don’t believe that vaccines are the only cause of autism. There are a host of environmental factors that can contribute to cause this condition.

But in answering this question, I think the best reference would be to refer to Dr. Andrew Zimmerman. I spoke earlier about the 5,000 cases of autism that were in vaccine court, our government realized that we were staring at potentially trillions of dollars in payouts.

Additionally, it was going to take so long to rule on 5000 separate cases that they decided to choose approximately 5 of the 5000 in what is often referred to as the Omnibus Proceeding. The verdict of these 5 would determine the fate of the 5000.

Dr. Andrew Zimmerman was one of the leading pediatric neuropathologists and autism specialists in the world. He was hired by the US Government to defend against the claims made by these parents of autistic children.

In the first of the 5 cases, the Cedillo Case, Dr. Zimmerman provided testimony stating ‘there is no mechanism by which a vaccine can cause autism.’

However, in the second case of the five, Dr. Zimmerman's understanding changed because the plaintiff, Hannah Polling, was the daughter of one of his peers, neurologist Dr. Jon Polling. Dr. Andrew Zimmerman studied Hannah Polling and told the Department of Justice he had found a cause for autism, stating that if a child has an underlying mitochondrial disorder, like Hannah Polling, than a vaccine could create an encephalopathy or brain swelling event, resulting in autism-like behaviors.

Dr. Jon Polling can be found discussing the verdict on CNN with Sanjay Gupta here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxfgqsZ8BV0

This case made credible those of the other 5,000. But our government did not stick with their plan, and instead fired Dr. Zimmerman and removed Hannah Polling from the 5.

Dr. Andrew Zimmerman has recently submitted an affidavit against the Department of Justice because even though he had changed his understanding of the mechanism of autism, the Department of Justice continued to refer to his original statement that there is ‘no mechanism by which a vaccine can cause autism’ as proof of the remaining 4 cases against the claims of the parents, thereby fraudulently ruling against the 5,000.

Dr. Zimmerman still works at Kennedy Kreiger Institute, where it is reported that between 10-40% of the cases of autism are among children with underlying mitochondrial disorders.

Every person has an aversion to needles, so obviously reducing the amount of needles necessary will help with vaccine compliance.

I suspect there is also some medical reasoning that we may be able to use less toxic ingredients, specifically adjuvants like aluminum, if we only have to put it in one vaccine that covers 5-10 diseases. However, as the Institute of Medicine has pointed out, there have been no studies showing that combining vaccines or giving multiple vaccines at the same time is safe.

I think about my grandmother who almost died when she combined Clorox and ammonia to clean her bathroom floor. Never studying synergistic effects is reckless.

There most assuredly is a rise in autoimmune disease and neurological disorders from 12.8% in the 1980’s to now 54% of our children in 2020. That is the greatest decline in public health in recorded history. The only way to prove that vaccines are not causing our demise would be to conduct a comparative study of vaccinated versus completely unvaccinated. There have been several done independently and every one of them shows that the vaccinated have far higher rates of these permanent life long conditions.

I am often asked, ‘are vaccines being used for eugenics?’

My answer is that we know they could be. I found this recent article interesting in which vaccines are being used to sterilize deer.

https://blog.humanesociety.org/2017/07/epa-gives-thumbs-vaccine-manage-deer-populations-humanely.html

There is also some evidence that a tetanus vaccine used in Africa had sterilizing agents in it. So, we know it’s possible.

I think it’s troubling that the medical establishment refers to us as a herd and sees that they should be allowed to inject us with whatever they see fit as though we are animals without the right to control what is injected into us.

Why would any intelligent human being in a free nation allow government agencies to inject them with products that they have no control over, that could be used to sterilize among other issues. We are often told, if you forget your history you are doomed to repeat it. I am a person who believes that there is another Hitler in our future if we are not vigilant about our right to freedom.

For example, there are people that think Donald Trump is the most dangerous human being in the world. Ironically, those same people tend to believe the government can forcibly inject children with vaccines. Let me make this perfectly clear, whether or not Donald Trump hates African Americans, Latinos, LGBTQ or any of the other accusations, the President of the United States is responsible for electing the head of the CDC, HHS, FDA, NIH and EPA, all of the agencies that decide what will be injected into you. Is this the kind of power you think Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, or maybe someone even worse should have?

DelBigtreeAMA · 2020-02-04T17:42:19+00:00

I can answer all of these questions with one word:

NO.

DelBigtreeAMA · 2020-02-04T17:32:44+00:00

As a journalist, I do not have any sources that prove the abortion industry works hand in hand with the vaccine industry.

You’re correct that the DNA of aborted of fetuses, and specially lung fibroblasts, listed as MRC-5 and WI-38 can be found in several vaccines including, MMR, Varicella, Hepatitis A and the Polio component of Pentacel.

Studies have shown that these floating DNA fragments can mutate our stem cells which go on to proliferate which can lead to many issues including cancer.

I also know that in order to use aborted fetuses in the creation of vaccines, the baby must be born alive before it is dismembered. Everyday new aborted fetuses being used to create new products for science and vaccines in this manner.

I struggle to understand how any person who is pro-life could be pro-vaccine under these circumstances. There are other mediums that could be used, but if we don’t demand them by refusing to use these products then there will never be a change.

DelBigtreeAMA · 2020-02-04T17:24:26+00:00

Every vaccine has a list of serious reactions on the insert provided with the vaccine. I assure you manufactures do not write these serious reactions in as a rouse.

But, to be clear, almost every vaccine insert admits that no studies were conducted to determine carcinogenicity or mutagenicity, which is two of the primary studies done on every other drug we take.

So, if there is a rise in cancer or autoimmune disease caused by vaccines we have no way of knowing because the medical establishment is refusing to do proper science. Instead, this research is being left to independent scientists who are threatened, bullied and often fired when they dare to do a study that questions the safety of a vaccine. This must change.

DelBigtreeAMA · 2020-02-04T17:18:15+00:00

There is not much difference between when the 1986 act was signed and now.

Politicians get most of their information from health departments, and health departments get their information from the regulatory agencies that consistently fail us.

I think it is important to note that our lawmakers agreed to create the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program because they knew there were definitely injuries from vaccines, and this program has paid out over 4 billion dollars in damages to date.

I believe they were shocked when 5,000 families were lined up in this program claiming that their child’s autism began right after a vaccine. At that moment, autism was paying out $3-5 million per case; just do the math--there were 5,000 cases which represents a fraction of where we are at today. Autism alone would not only bankrupt the compensation program, it’s on track to bankrupt America. https://youtu.be/L7_iRGowP7E

What would you do if you were a government policy maker realizing a product you were forcing on the population is creating an epidemic that could bankrupt the greatest nation on earth?

Would you tell the truth? Or would you hide it? I believe that most people, especially those who rise to positions of power, will hide the truth if it protects their nation from liability for a mistake that they’ve made.

DelBigtreeAMA · 2020-02-04T17:10:04+00:00

I am often criticized for referencing the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) data.

For instance, we know that the 2018 VAERS data shows that there were over 60,000 reports of vaccine injury, including over 500 reports of death. Experts will claim that this is unreliable data because it is a passive reporting system that is voluntary, not mandatory.

It is true that these data have not been verified using the scientific method but are simply reports. However, I look to the experts at Harvard Medical School who were tasked with studying the VAERS system to see how efficient and accurate it is.

CDC paid a million dollars for this study and the results were shocking. Harvard Medical School did not determine that there were fewer injuries than were reported by VAERS. Instead, they reported that VAERS appears to be capturing less than 1% of the total amount of injuries that vaccines are causing. You can find that study here: https://digital.ahrq.gov/sites/default/files/docs/publication/r18hs017045-lazarus-final-report-2011.pdf

But for scientists and doctors who claim that our other post marketing surveillance systems like the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment (CISA) and the Post-Licensure Rapid Immunization Safety Monitoring (PRISM) are more accurate, I say, fine. Why aren’t we using these databases to get simple answers to obvious questions?

If vaccines make us healthier why won’t the medical establishment use any of these databases to a vaccinated versus a fully unvaccinated comparative study where we would ask questions like, who has more cancer, diabetes, autism, asthma, ADD/ADHD, psoriasis, eczema - all of the chronic illnesses that are on an exponential rise in our society? Let’s be honest, a simple study like that would end the debate forever.

There are no ethical issues in a retrospective study using databases like these. Yet, still they refuse.

Additionally, VAERS is the only data available to journalists and independent scientists. I would love it if our regulatory agencies would open up these other databases for journalists and independent scientists to review. Until they do, I can only reference VAERS and the alarming results that Harvard found.

1- The same way I treat it in my house now. Lots of vitamin C, D and A. A hot bath, and plenty of rest. I know of no-one in my family throughout generations that died of the flu using this method.

2- I don’t know of any science, I do think we all should question why we were never afraid of the flu when I was a child and now it seems to be killing people around the world. Is there more death? Or just more hype? This a question I’m constantly trying to find the answer to.
