Three years ago when I started looking into this myself, I never would have imagined a day where my little one wouldn't be safe to go to school. Now, with the news that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is mandating an unproven vaccine for all our kids, it feels like we’re living in a nightmare.

When previous Obama-era administrations would step back from overreaching mandates like this one, parents felt they could at least rely on their voices being heard. But today’s CDC seems to be marching forward without any thought of listening to the concerns of the families they claim to protect.

This experimental vaccine is meant to prevent a rare virus that has affected less than 1% of kids in the past decade. While it's reassuring that the government wants to take action, the lack of long-term studies and alarming reports about potential side effects have me questioning everything I was taught to trust.

As someone who initially trusted the CDC’s advice without question, my heart aches seeing so many parents unsure whether this is really in their children's best interest. When you dig into it, there are natural remedies that could be just as effective and far less risky.

Essential oils, for example, have been used successfully for centuries to boost the immune system and combat viruses without any of the risks associated with synthetic drugs. And God’s design in nature offers countless options that pharmaceutical companies don't want you to know about.

I would feel terrible not sharing what I've learned, even if it means some might roll their eyes at me for being 'conspiracy-minded.' But how can I keep this quiet when so many of us are wondering the same thing?

Please take a moment to read through my research. If you or someone you love is considering getting this vaccine, share this with them too.
