​About two years ago I first read a post about Jayden that his mother, Michelle, shared on Facebook. Almost immediately, this sweet little boy and his devoted family worked their way into my heart; and I've wanted to compile a blog post about them for quite some time.

Like many other parents of severely vaccine injured children; when the conventional medical establishment gave them little hope or options for recovering Jayden; with relentless determination, in depth research and unwavering faith in God, Jayden's mom and dad found ways to recover their son. In addition to being Jayden's primary caregiver, while raising his very bright and busy older sister, and operating a home-based business, Michelle still finds time to keep her social media family updated on Jayden's progress and setbacks.

It is extremely disturbing that children and families like Jayden's; get ignored by pro-vaccine advocates and legislators who cling to the belief that vaccines are "safe and effective" and push for vaccine mandates and repeal of vaccine exemptions.

Thank you Michelle Marie and Dave for your inspiring faith; for sharing your sweet Jayden with all of us; and for speaking out to educate and protect others. The following post from Michelle, along with photos and videos summarize Jayden's story; and tell the very real truth that vaccines can and do cause serious harm and heartache. Read, watch and share and please keep Jayden, and all vaccine injured children and their families in your prayers.

Since the Covid-19 injection rollout, more and more people are speaking out about vaccine injury and death -- something that parents of vaccine injured children have been crying out about since vaccines were first introduced. 

Although I compile and share VCPC News fairly regularly, it's been a while since my last VCPC blog post. A recent episode of CHD-TV's Tea Time, along with hearing several doctors and scientists acknowledge Covid-19 injection injury and death, but still promote the "vaccines are safe and effective" narrative for "routine" childhood vaccines, prompted this post. I share it to honor the countless ignored and marginalized parents of vaccine injured and deceased children; and to encourage others to research carefully before injecting their children or themselves with any vaccine. God bless and take care . . .

Soon after receiving a "nudge" from God and  launching Vaccine Choice Prayer Community in July 2014, I connected with mothers (and some fathers) who had lost a child to vaccines and others who were raising vaccine injured children. Many of their stories are shared here and here. Although some of these friendships, have been limited to internet and phone; I've had the opportunity to meet, hug, laugh and cry with several others. One mother has become a very close friend.  We share a commitment to remember and honor their precious children; and do all we can to help parents understand the risks; and protect them and their children from the harm and heartache that vaccines can and do cause far too often.

I first learned of Nick Gauthier's story in September 2019. Nick, a PhD level Audiologist, former fire fighter and father of three, had recently moved his family from Michigan to Texas to take a position at Fort Hood. On August 19th, within hours of receiving a Tdap vaccine required for employment, Nick's vaccine injury story began and life, as Nick and his wife Andrea knew it, changed dramatically.

I documented Nick and Andrea's  FB updates on the VCPC website so that their story could be shared beyond Facebook.  On January 30th, Nick's story was included in Episode #148 of The HighWire. Watch Nick's "Ex-Vax Files" segment below as well as the full interview with Nick and a segment with Andrea in the second video. Since the segment aired, there have been setbacks and last night, February 8, 2020, Nick was hospitalized in respiratory distress. Please keep Nick, Andrea and their family in your thoughts and prayers and check here for updates on Nick's condition.

Tell me what is easy about not being able to communicate with your child? Waiting for him to say a few words so you can hear his voice, waiting for him to be able to have a conversation with you. It is all a waiting game, the longest game I have EVER played. 

Tell me what is easy about your ten year old being so stressed they cry and cry for hours? He works himself into such a tizzy that you cannot touch him or cuddle him, when you know that is exactly what he needs.

Tell me what is easy about watching your child lash out because you don't understand what they want or need? 

Tell me what is easy about seeing your child bang things on their head or the walls, out of pure and utter frustration, and you still cannot figure out why? 

Tell me what is easy about seeing your child being isolated because they have a neurological condition? Being labelled the "bold child" because they have a meltdown in public. Or being labelled "weird" because they flap their hands and hum when they are excited.

Tell me what is easy about not knowing what the future will bring? Waking up in the morning you do not know what is facing you, and the fear of looking to the future eats you up inside, so you block it out instead.

Tell me what is easy about the loneliness of being a parent to a child with autism? "Friends" walk away, people stare at you, the judgers, the comments people pass. People pull their children away from him in playgrounds because he is "different" and god forbid they might "catch it".

Tell me what is easy about the constant worry you have. The fear of leaving them out of your sight because they cannot tell you if something happens. The worry when they cannot tell you if they feel sick or hurt them self. The heartbreak you feel on a daily basis because their life is not meant to be this hard.

There is NOTHING easy about Autism. 

There is nothing great, nothing rosy in the garden. 

It is hard, and it does not matter if you are in your twenties or in your forties, it is HARD. 

It is the biggest challenge I have come across in my life, and there are some days where you just want to lock yourself in a room and hide. There are some days where someone just has to look at me and I cry. There are some days where you can take on the world and other days where you want to hide from every other human being.

This does not mean that I love my little boy any less, I worship the ground he walks on.

It does not mean that I don't have goals and dreams for him, because I do. I have the biggest dreams in the world for him, and I will help him to achieve everything he wants to do. 
​
It does not mean that my little boy is “weird" or "bold" he is simply wired differently. 

He is AMAZING, but everyday life is harder for him.

So yes, looking from the outside Autism might look "easy", but before you make a quick judgement, before you decide you could do our job with your eyes closed, and before you question why sometimes we cry at the blink of a hat, put yourself in our shoes for the day. Put yourself in the shoes of a parent to a child with Autism, and come back to me. Come back to me and tell me how it really is.

The Truth with Myk Simms

One year ago today, Haleigh Jenna Golden, a 20 year old senior at the University of Cincinnati College of Arts and Sciences, tragically passed away as a result of a vaccine related seizure. 

Sweet Andi passed away just two days after receiving her six month vaccines. Like many babies who have died shortly after vaccines, her death was classified as SIDS. This past July 7th -- the 9th anniversary of Andi's death -- her mother shared the following message on Facebook; and like other mothers (and fathers) who have lost a child to vaccines, Andi's mother shares their story to protect other children and families from the harm and heartache that vaccines can and do cause.
