We’re fed up with the lies. For years the mainstream media has peddled a tired narrative, pinning every childhood disease outbreak on the unvaccinated which often includes the homeschooler.
Heavily influenced by Big Pharma interests, they deliberately undermine parents who have made informed decisions regarding their children’s health. Instead of recognizing these parents as intelligent individuals who have thoroughly researched and considered what is best for their families, the media chooses to dismiss and marginalize them. By labeling these concerned parents as “anti-vaxxers” – a term designed to be derogatory and shaming – the media aims to push them to the fringes of public discourse.
How dare these parents question the safety of vaccines, their holy grail of modern medicine. Ignoring the inconvenient truths, Big Pharma and MSM (mainstream media) paints those who choose not to vaccinate as ignorant and reckless threats to public health. This tactic not only stifles meaningful conversation but also discourages open inquiry and critical thinking about important health decisions. Continue reading
