#300 | Vaccine Rights, Research and Consent with Just the Inserts

As an active member of the military, Alexandra was required to take various medical products. After experiencing multiple adverse reactions, she started  researching the benefits, safety and risks of each, leading her to create the platform, "Just the Inserts." Just the Inserts provides all the publicly available information on vaccines and other medical products to help parents make informed choices about what they will accept or decline for themselves and their children. This episode is not about being "anti-vax" or "pro-vax", labels that we reject, and there is no implication about whether any vaccine or medical product is right for you or your child. It is about our right as citizens to true informed consent, knowing your available resources, learning to trust your own decisions, and becoming a steward of health for yourself and your family rather than outsourcing it to a medical provider or the government. Additionally, Alexandra answers questions from our audience such as:What is a black box warning, and do they apply to children?What is shedding, and should you be concerned about it?How did the current vaccine schedule come to be?What resources are available for parents to become educated?Why are medical professionals so poorly informed about the downsides of vaccines?How can you have a productive conversation with friends and family about  choices, accepting or declining medical products?As a reminder, this episode does not provide medical advice or recommendations on what products are right for you and your family. These choices require every individual to look deeply into their health, environment, and medical history.As a reminder, this channel does not provide medical advice or recommendations on what products are right for you and your family.
