Congrats! You have learned more about manufacturer inserts and informed consent than the majority of the science and medical communities in the United States.

How do I know this? Because I have received hundreds of messages from professionals who have said they never read manufacturer inserts until they found my website or a patient printed and brought an insert into their office. Unfortunately, manufacturer inserts are rarely taught in medical school and hardly discussed in continuing education trainings.

Even past and current pharmaceutical employees tell me that they had never read an insert either. So yes, you are more educated and empowered than most people in this industry!

Now what?

Share this course and refer back to it as often as you need. As long as this website exists, this course will be available for free to all. Everyone deserves informed consent. No matter your background. You deserve to know what a manufacturer says about their own product.

The questions below are the most frequent I am asked, however, this list is not exhaustive. If your question is not answered here, be sure to seek the additional resources linked at the very end!


What can I do if my child’s other parent wants to make a different decision concerning vaccination?

This is an extremely hard position to be in especially if you are separated or divorced. If you have a positive relationship with them, my best advice is to ask them to complete the fear exercise with you. Then to the best of your ability research both of your fears together.

If the relationship is not positive, I would recommend seeking legal counsel that understands your State’s vaccine exemption laws. This is not legal advice.

Are there side effects if I stop vaccinating mid-series?

You will not incur additional vaccine adverse reactions by stopping a vaccination series mid-way.

For example, if your healthcare provider recommends three doses of DTAP before your child is one years old and your child develops a contraindication or you decide to decline future doses, your child is not at risk for additional vaccine adverse reactions by not vaccinating again.

Didn’t vaccines cause diseases to decline?

Take some time to read through the history of diseases. Here are a few examples:

  • Polio
  • Tetanus
  • Most of the books in the Resources lesson can answer this question with a plethora of data.

How are diseases treated today?

Unfortunately, due to vaccine shedding, we now contend with either just the vaccine strain of a disease-causing virus or both the vaccine and wild strain (again, read about Polio here). If you are paralyzed by fear of a certain disease, take the time to understand its transmission, symptoms, complications, and treatment.

Also understand the limitations of vaccine effectiveness. When I first started researching, I feared meningitis. Then I learned more about it (click here, then here).

Why are there vaccines only for some diseases?

That’s a great question. There isn’t a lot of clarity on why manufacturers decide to create vaccines for some diseases and not others.

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD), for example, is a common childhood illness yet there isn’t a vaccine to prevent it. If you read the CDC profile on HFM, it is similar to other childhood illnesses in how it spreads, symptoms, and treatment yet there aren’t the same protocols as with other diseases that have vaccines.

However, manufacturers are currently creating vaccines for all diseases with the new mRNA technology. I personally believe we will see many more vaccines on the market in the next decade.

How do you detox from pharmaceuticals?

This is an extremely complicated question that heavily depends upon which (and how many) pharmaceuticals you have accepted as well as your current overall health status. I highly recommend working with an experienced healthcare professional if you’d like to detox.

Should I vaccinate my children?

Only you have the responsibility and authority to make your own medical decisions for yourself and your family. I will not make medical decisions for you. I will not answer questions such as “what do you think I should do” because you are the only person that can make that decision for yourself. My only goal is to make sure you are informed of what the manufacturer states about their own products.
