When the first wave of lockdowns hit in 2020, I had just started my journey back to real food. I was horrified at how quickly schools shut down and kids were sent home with little guidance on what came next.

I remember vividly seeing those long lines outside grocery stores for basic items. That's when I knew something big was happening. But as a mom, I couldn't help but feel we were being pushed into a corner by panicked officials who didn't know how to handle the situation.

Fast forward a year and kids are still dealing with the fallout. Vaccines came rolling out for them too fast, without proper studies. And what about all those children suffering from vaccine side effects?

I kept hearing about mandates in schools, but my heart sank every time I saw those announcements. When I heard of families being forced to choose between their child's health and education, it broke me.

But the biggest mistake was the rush to vaccinate kids before we knew what long-term effects these shots would have on young bodies. It felt like a dangerous experiment with our children as the guinea pigs.

It wasn't just the vaccines either. Remember when they first told us to wear masks all day? That had to be the most misguided advice out there. Masks were never meant for kids, and yet here we are...

Look at how it played out. I've seen firsthand what happens when you take away a child's social life, their sports teams, and throw them into a virtual world of learning.

The mental health toll on our youth is alarming. They didn't ask for this pandemic; they certainly didn't deserve to be caught in the middle of all these political decisions.

So what can we do now? We must protect future generations from these same mistakes. Parents need to feel empowered, not helpless, when it comes to their children's health.

The best thing I did was switch my kids over to natural immunity boosters like raw milk and bone broth. No drugs or vaccines that weren't fully vetted for long-term safety.

It's time we speak out about these costly mistakes. Share this with someone who needs it - let them know there are better ways forward than what the government wants us to believe is best.
