God bless you for having the courage to post this Katy. It’s easy to forget that most of the people who end up obfuscating the truth are tricked into it. They are being lied to like the rest of us.
Everyone that I know who has “woken up,” believed the official narrative at some point, and then was open enough to hear truth and evaluate evidence once it was revealed to them.
I’m grateful you stayed curious and open minded. I hope that your example and the Secretary’s graciousness encourages more people to do the same.
Totally. My experience has been that you just assume you're misunderstanding something or not seeing reality for what it is, because it can't actually be possible... untangling that web takes a bit of work.
Exactly. I loved the president so much and fancied myself super-MAGA, more than most in the WH. But we all have blind spots in medicine, as Marty Makary wrote about in his book called, well, Blind Spots.
And the people who want to distort truth exploit the 'blind spots.' They use our morality and compassion against us. After you see it you can't unsee it, but it's more evil than I ever could have imagined. I love Marty! His book The Price We Pay was my awakening and I will be forever grateful.
Grateful I took the time to read this when the notification popped up.
I’ll be sharing it w/ my 117K subs here on SS.
I don’t use this platform enough or post/share often, but I especially am thrilled that you’re helping doctors become their own primary care physicians.
That is imperative & others need to know.
I’m happy you mentioned Andy, since he created and directed the Vaxxed film.
Del was one of the producers & did a phenomenal job.
The same goes for all 9 of the awesome producers on Vaxxed l — some of whom are like family.
I remember interviewing Del, Andy, and Polly at the premiere. Del explained graciously that most people in our community didn’t know him before that film, and said Vaxxed and the subsequent Vaxxed ll & III really helped put him on the map.
So humble of him and accurate.
The film series did open the eyes of millions, including yours.
Working with Bobby too, we all know how incredibly gracious and forgiving he is in real life, probably more so than I or most folks.
Thank you for sharing your story. I’ve never heard any of this before over the decades, and look forward to sharing it with my peeps .
I know autism moms in particular will be grateful as they have such open and forgiving hearts.
Erin, thank you for being a voice for those who need it. And for being so gracious in this moment. I couldn’t agree with you more that truth and transparency are essential and should be encouraged at all costs. The gaslighting has to stop.
Oh Erin, I’m so grateful for your kind words and for sharing the post with your audience. Thank you for working on the film and to all those who did. It was the real bombshell that pulled the scales from my eyes and started the cascade of everything else that caused me to turn in my Consensus Club card. Bless you!
Note - I replied to your subscriber welcome email with a topic I pray you will address. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m sure you’ve received many new subscribers. I only have not quite 4500, but plan to cross post this article. May it get you many new subs and I pray they will be paid 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you,Laura for cross posting this. I would not have read it,otherwise.
Thank you,Katy for the courage to write this. It may very well be a tipping point for others who have been in a similar position/ situation. It gives me hope that we may actually see important changes..
And,prayers and gratitude to all the warrior parents who did NOT shut up and allow the gaslighting medical system bully them. May they find healing and peace.
Similar to you, going to see the film Vaxxed was my eye opening moment. And all because I’m curious about anything controversial. After watching Robert DeNiro go on the Today Show and proclaim that “everyone should see this film and decide for themselves” I rushed into Manhattan to see it at the Angelika Film Center. My mind was blown.
The one thing that liars fail to understand is the power of the truth especially when it’s directed to the human heart. Our movement keeps growing because it’s focused on just that. I’m so glad to see someone like you become a part of it.
Thank you for sharing your fascinating story…thank you for holding tight to your own intuition, then stepping out to enlighten others about a practice we’ve all been programmed to believe by people we’re taught to blindly trust have our very best health interests at heart, is safe, effective and necessary. Why?? Well, that’d be because “the experts” say so, and we, without question, have generationally subscribed to any and everything they advise.
I have not, and began to question at age 12, when I realized that after every one of his annual flu vaccines, my grandfather, two weeks later, would be at death’s door. Finally, I mustered up the courage to ask my tough Irish grandmother, why, if after Papa gets these flu shot things (we never got them), does he get so sick (with what sounded like the flu to me) that you call our Mom to tell her, “I think this is it, I think he’s gonna die this time; he’s really sick!” Her answer: “Because Dr. Brown says we have to.” People just did whatever their doctors told them to. I remember I asked why they wouldn’t ask Dr. Brown about this near-deadly practice? “Oh no! We don’t question the doctor!!”
I’ve been a student of vaccination ever since.
The word doctor comes from the Latin verb "docere," which means "to teach."
Thank you for choosing to dig deep, to listen to moms’ stories of their “real, not rare,” devastating, life-altering stories and their cries for investigation into this practice sold to us/parents by individuals and institutions we’ve culturally been raised to believe is safe, necessary and effective - none of which has science behind them to support their “for the greater good,” mantra.
People are finally awakening; your story, your background and experience are so important in opening the eyes of those who’ve not allowed themselves to see.
Well done for questioning at age 12, it is a great age for observing what's really going on. I understood 'flu vaccines were pointless in the 1980's in my 20's as like you saw people fell ill anyway.
But it took until 2020 for the whole rotten fraud to be exposed.
As I like anagrams I see docere is a one word anagram of 'recode'. That is what doctors have done to the masses, recoded their minds to accept the lies of poisoning for alleged future good health.
Glad you helped yourself by coming clean. Time to step up with more than a substack post. We knew in 2005 and we fought. You retreated. Take meaningful action: fight for exemptions for ALL (including NY, CA, ME, CT, WV) our kids are being thrown out of school, families are breaking up. Children are being immeasurably hurt. Help those states fix it.
When my sister (NY) had to dismantle the homeschool pod she’d held in her home ever since NY lost their final exemption, she lost her mind. Her whole focus was to keep kids learning while safe from vaccines. But her husband, a fully indoctrinated former med student who believes the lies of the NIH and CDC, had always threatened to “just get the kids vaccinated so they can go to school”, but she’d been strong and capable and courageous and stood firm. She even joined up with the medical freedom organizers in NY and met RFKjr…
But after she discovered her husband had utterly betrayed her, gambled away all their money, been unfaithful AND also had been secretly getting their kids vaccinated, she collapsed. I know the realization that she was helpless to protect her kids from the system was completely devastating to her and contributed to her decision to kill herself this past January. So you can add ‘suicide’ to your list of harms.
Oh so sorry…so many stories - all attached either to parents who’ve had children experience the devastating effects of toxic injections or who’ve dug deep to protect them from ever allowing it into their perfect little bodies and brains.
This is the AVOIDABLE devastation we all have been left with navigating. So the people who had the potential to redirect the path of this massive issue, instead shilled and now want forgiveness and understanding. WELL FOR ALL THE ANTONIAS I say no. I was almost an ANTONIA. That weight alone is so hard to bear. To me it’s like standing by and doing NOTHING and watching an apartment building burn with children in every room.
I don’t know how to explain it - synchronicity? but just a few minutes ago FB sent me a memory notification that she had tagged me on a post of yours in 2021. If memory serves, you were part of the monthly Zoom meet-ups that she got me to join a couple times?
Congressman Greg Steube (R-Fl) has requested an EO, along with Congresswoman Lauren Bobert, to reinstate religious exemptions throughout the country. Please write a letter, Katy. He also authored a federal bill, HR 5075
(The GRACE Act) for same. Contact Trump and support these two actions; you have access/ influence with top brass.
Here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada 30.000 schoolchildren remained unvaccinated ( up to date) and the school boards abandoned suspensions at least for now. There is growing awareness. Thanks God.
Connecticut needs lots of help, the governor has decided not to follow the CDC ( because of sec Kennedy) they are creating their own cdc if u will. All kids must have the covid vax among many others, there is No Longer a religious exemption, and now they want to make homeschooling extremely difficult. We are a blue state, it’s very difficult to get any red input. We are desperate for help.
There is the land patent. Then they won't even set foot on your land. You can declare a no fly zone.
“A Warranty Deed is not a Title to your land, and never will be. If you look closely you may be surprised to discover you think you’re an owner, but you’re only listed as a tenant. The only true Title to your land is a Land Patent, which finally makes you the true land owner with the unalienable rights granted by God and protected by the Constitutions.”
Thank you for your honesty and humility! This is certainly a rarity in government (or from people who were in government/policy shaping). If even 3% of those directly responsible for major decisions took done sort of accountability, this country (world) would be so much better off.
Maybe others will see this and, when the sky doesn't fall, be emboldened to liberate themselves similarly.
Thank you so much Devin! I think that people assume that everyone in govt is a Bond villain twisting the tails of their mustache! Some are of course. But most of us are just humans trying our best who are growing and learning like everyone else. When we know better, we do better.
Worth linking to Sheryll Atkinson's Investigative reports on vaccine efficacy and the US Vaccination Court's success at squashing ~90% + of the claims being made before they even reach their front door.
Thank you. In my case, my blind faith nearly destroyed me. I mocked “anti vaxxers “, insisted my heart symptoms were nothing. Took a second Moderna, had a heart attack in doctors office. Still brainwashed. Took a Phizer, severe myocarditis, testicular cysts, severe damage to adaptive immune system, dysautonomia, severe brain issues, (there’s a long list). The things that helped me are mocked by pharma; hyperbaric oxygen, Nattokinaise, dandelion, vitamin D. Cardiologist and immunologist both greatly surprised.
Thank you for your kind words, Kelly. When we know better, we do better. (I mean, some Bond villains know better and don’t do better, obvi. But most of us are just doing our best).
I’m not a mom of any autistic children, but years ago, when a mom I worked briefly beside at a regional Mothers of Twins and Triplets consignment sale explained that, no, her toddler twins and my toddler twins probably would not be able to play together (I was suggesting a play date, after learning her twins were the same age as mine), as one of her twins had just become, in her words, “a vegetable,” I gasped and asked what had happened to him.
She said, for months (perhaps even 18 months?), her son had been progressing developmentally just as well as his sister had… until right after one of their well child appointments.
“I’m not certain,” she said, “but I really think it was the vaccines.”
I believed her and was horrified.
Though I’m ashamed to admit it, back then, I was a way-too-busy mom, working full time in the demanding world of local news, and juggling twin toddlers.
Shortly after meeting that mom, I got pregnant and left the news for a few years, returning once my kids were ready to start school.
I did asked my pediatrician about the safety of vaccines, and she’d assured me they were all totally safe. Now my kids have learning disabilities and allergies that I now suspect they might not have, had I known back then what I know now. But I failed to trust my intuition and instead relied on the ‘expertise’ of ‘the professionals.” What a mistake…
I’d heard of Dr. Wakefield, but once a quick Google search led to a news story (probably by Brian Deer) that told me he’d lost his medical license, I assumed he was just doctor who’d gone rogue for some reason.
Years later, after having both my hips replaced at age 39, hoping to see an end to years of arthritic pain, when the surgery left me in worse pain and struggling with lots of new, seemingly unrelated health issues, once my surgeon made it clear he’d done all he would do to help me get out of pain, I was forced to begin investigating for myself whether, as I suspected, my new hips were making me sick.
After six years of investigating, interviewing whistleblowing doctors, petitioning the FDA, Congress and Johnson & Johnson, the maker of my hips, after sitting in on other people’s civil trials related to my hips (11,000 patients with my same device sued J&J), I’d learned many upsetting truths about Pharma, including why most implantable medical devices didn’t have to go through the PMA process (& thus, were never tested on a single, living human being prior to being sold) and the fact that the FDA was, as Bobby Kennedy Jr. asserts, “industry captured.”
Indeed, I eventually learned my hip replacement devices had been corroding inside my body for years, as confirmed by the Dartmouth Thayer School of Engineering’s Explant Lab, where I sent my explanted devices. My health issues were being caused by cobalt toxicity from the hips, which causes encephalitis, cardiomyopathy, tinnitus, skin lesions and localized tissue necrosis, among other problems.
It took two additional years to find a surgeon willing to revise my hips, since it had slowly become known in healthcare that my hips were ‘problematic devices.’
Within days, weeks & months of my bilateral revision surgery, 90% of my health problems vanished. Indeed the cobalt hips had been the culprit all along.
I hadn’t gone looking for the scandal/story I’d stumbled into.
Then I thought, “What are the chances that I just stumbled into the ONE time Pharma & the FDA have allowed truly dangerous products to market and spent years defending their safety and efficacy?”
That’s when I got curious about other devices, drugs and vaccines that people were saying were harmful.
Since my news career had been destroyed, back when my heath first fell apart, I began looking into many of those products too and found they were as bad or worse than even my hips.
I contacted former colleagues from my news days, hoping they’d jump at the chance to tell the story I’d accidentally uncovered.
Despite years of trying, only three journalists bit, even though the evidence of harm and victims were easy to find.
I thank God every day we still have independent journalists!
As a former journalist myself, this lack of willingness to warn people about a toxic metal, an alloy called cobalt chromium, still being used to make all sorts of devices that get implanted in people, even children, upset me. But I shouldn’t have to tell anyone which industry currently funds (and thus controls) our supposed ‘truth tellers.’
As a child of a surgeon who’d grown up reading medical journals, just because they were was the only thing lying around our house, I’d grown up completely believing in ‘the science’ and in the medical establishment.
Before being forced down this road, I had absolute faith in modern medicine.
Now I understand it’s no longer a calling; it’s a business, an insanely lucrative one.
All this to say, I get it.
I know how hard it was for you to accept a new, conflicting view of an industry in which you’d always put your faith.
I am proud of you, Katy, for having the courage to speak up about all you’ve been through, seen and realized.
As a person who still lives with pretty significant pain and who lacks the ability to do things most healthy adults can do, I appreciate you for telling the entire truth.
Yes, some drugs and devices help people, but that doesn’t mean we should turn a blind eye to the products, vaccines included, that hurt and kill people.
I believe you’ll be blessed for the sacrifice you, personally have made in writing this Substack.
Likewise Bobby Kennedy Jr. is a godsend and one of this world’s selfless and humble champions.
Like Del, Dr. Wakefield, Aaron Siri and all the heroic doctors, nurses and vaccine-harmed people who spoke up loudly during Covid, Bobby and you, Katy Talento, are our heroes.
Look up itsan.org to learn about the horror of steroid induced eczema and the subsequent withdrawals. It was one of my wake up calls to all things pharma.
Absolutely outstanding! The worst medical disaster of my career in medicine, if not the past 100 years...maybe more. Distrust in medicine, not just for COVID but everything, will last decades unless those who perpetrated this on the world are held accountable. Knowing how the power of Big Pharma has so corrupted organized and academic medicine really is sobering. My profession is either corrupt, or so cowardly as to be unbelievable in its recommendation.
I am sorry to say the 'medical profession' is broadly toxic being sold out to big pharma. Bizarre as it may seem, even anagrams of the phrase expose its nature as 'dim fecal poisoners' is but one of many.
Courage is admitting your past ignorance and acknowledging the truth and advocating for it. Bravo. Welcome to the real movement of truth and medicine, medical freedom, and actual science.
Being awake is bittersweet. Thank you for sharing your story. I grew up in Leesburg, and my brother still lives in Loudoun. He was hospitalized with Covid pneumonia in October 2020, but thankfully we were able to get him the forbidden meds. His employer subsequently mandated the shot he did not need. I used to work for Fauci and also read RFK, Jr’s book. Mindblowing! I am now proudly anti-vaccine.
I was going to give vaccinations to my baby. I had never questioned any of it. A person at a chiropractor's office gave me a paper on the side effects of vaccines. I was stunned by it and I never vaccinated my baby. I watched as during the first years of her life she was totally different from the other kids. She was focused and fascinated with everything. Other children would cry A LOT. They looked ill. You could see it in their eyes. I am so appreciative of the person who gave me that paper on vaccines.
Wow Katy—incredibly courageous of you to share this. I’m so glad I know you and grateful for how you use your wisdom and influence. Proud to have you on team heretic.
Thank you for sharing this. And I am truly grateful that your eyes have been opened to the truth and you are doing the work you are doing now. I follow you here and on LI; your posts are insightful and informative.
I have to be honest, though. As a nurse working in a hospital during COVID, I was sick to my stomach seeing intelligent people throwing common sense and YEARS of knowledge about viruses out the window because they drank the Kool Aid. I refused the jab and was treated like an absolute leper at the hospital because leadership was buying with the ‘authorities’ were selling.
I was forced to attend meetings via Zoom (instead of in person with the others) because I hadn’t been jabbed.
There are endless other examples of the treatment we (the unjabbed) were subjected to.
I think what makes me the most angry is nurses sacrificed to care for COVID patients, yet when we questioned the jab (efficacy, side effects, etc.) we were ridiculed, shunned, and given ultimatums.
Fortunately, I found work away from the bedside that did not require the jab.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but there is not enough money or incentive in the world to get me to return to the bedside after that experience.
I appreciate your experience and your honesty. I appreciate the situation you were in at the time.
Many of us are still dealing with the consequences - I love patient care! - and am completely gutted now.
I’m sure many other nurses left the bedside, leading to a further shortage of nurses. This has caused hospitals to ‘close’ beds (read: not admit patients due to not enough staff to care for patients) leading to a backlog of patients in the ED.
Nursing schools can’t find clinical rotation sites so they continue to do virtual clinical rotations (if they do clinicals at all), leading to nursing grads who are not prepared to care for real-life patients.
As you continue your work and mission now, please also consider these unintended consequences to use when advocating for fierce punishment of those who instigated this mess.
Truly, thank you for being open to seeing the truth.
God bless you for having the courage to post this Katy. It’s easy to forget that most of the people who end up obfuscating the truth are tricked into it. They are being lied to like the rest of us.
Everyone that I know who has “woken up,” believed the official narrative at some point, and then was open enough to hear truth and evaluate evidence once it was revealed to them.
I’m grateful you stayed curious and open minded. I hope that your example and the Secretary’s graciousness encourages more people to do the same.
Thanks Tiffany! Yes, curiosity sometimes takes years to unfold, when we’ve been gaslit so long!

Oh so sorry…so many stories - all attached either to parents who’ve had children experience the devastating effects of toxic injections or who’ve dug deep to protect them from ever allowing it into their perfect little bodies and brains.
Oh I am so terribly sorry. There are so many tragic stories like this- all avoidable. We need federal government help.
This is the AVOIDABLE devastation we all have been left with navigating. So the people who had the potential to redirect the path of this massive issue, instead shilled and now want forgiveness and understanding. WELL FOR ALL THE ANTONIAS I say no.

Yes when we know better, we do better!! YOUR journey will mirror so many paths therefore be a big change agent.
Thank you. In my case, my blind faith nearly destroyed me. I mocked “anti vaxxers “, insisted my heart symptoms were nothing. Took a second Moderna, had a heart attack in doctors office.

'Doctors were baffled' then! Glad you woke up in the end.
My goodness this warms my heart reading this article asking myself, “Will this finally crack open the floodgates of truth?”.
Thank you for doing this. I pray more follow suit. Those in high places that willingly and knowingly hurt people need to be held accountable.
Let’s pray the tables are turning.
Sending much love to you for doing this. Humanity is coming back. 🫶🏼
We can only hope that this encourages others to come forward and share their stories.
Amen.
Thank you for your kind words, Kelly. When we know better, we do better. (I mean, some Bond villains know better and don’t do better, obvi. But most of us are just doing our best).
Yes may this article help others to be courageous and Crack open the floodgates of truth!!
Thanks so much Paula!!
Thank you, Katy.
I’m not a mom of any autistic children, but years ago, when a mom I worked briefly beside at a regional Mothers of Twins and Triplets consignment sale explained that, no, her toddler twins and my toddler twins probably would not be able to play together (I was suggesting a play date, after learning her twins were the same age as mine), as one of her twins had just become, in her words, “a vegetable,” I gasped and asked what had happened to him.
She said, for months (perhaps even 18 months?), her son had been progressing developmentally just as well as his sister had… until right after one of their well child appointments.
“I’m not certain,” she said, “but I really think it was the vaccines.”
I believed her and was horrified.
Though I’m ashamed to admit it, back then, I was a way-too-busy mom, working full time in the demanding world of local news, and juggling twin toddlers.
Shortly after meeting that mom, I got pregnant and left the news for a few years, returning once my kids were ready to start school.
I did asked my pediatrician about the safety of vaccines, and she’d assured me they were all totally safe. Now my kids have learning disabilities and allergies that I now suspect they might not have, had I known back then what I know now. But I failed to trust my intuition and instead relied on the ‘expertise’ of ‘the professionals.” What a mistake…
I’d heard of Dr. Wakefield, but once a quick Google search led to a news story (probably by Brian Deer) that told me he’d lost his medical license, I assumed he was just doctor who’d gone rogue for some reason.
Years later, after having both my hips replaced at age 39, hoping to see an end to years of arthritic pain, when the surgery left me in worse pain and struggling with lots of new, seemingly unrelated health issues, once my surgeon made it clear he’d done all he would do to help me get out of pain, I was forced to begin investigating for myself whether, as I suspected, my new hips were making me sick.
After six years of investigating, interviewing whistleblowing doctors, petitioning the FDA, Congress and Johnson & Johnson, the maker of my hips, after sitting in on other people’s civil trials related to my hips (11,000 patients with my same device sued J&J), I’d learned many upsetting truths about Pharma, including why most implantable medical devices didn’t have to go through the PMA process (& thus, were never tested on a single, living human being prior to being sold) and the fact that the FDA was, as Bobby Kennedy Jr. asserts, “industry captured.”
Indeed, I eventually learned my hip replacement devices had been corroding inside my body for years, as confirmed by the Dartmouth Thayer School of Engineering’s Explant Lab, where I sent my explanted devices. My health issues were being caused by cobalt toxicity from the hips, which causes encephalitis, cardiomyopathy, tinnitus, skin lesions and localized tissue necrosis, among other problems.
It took two additional years to find a surgeon willing to revise my hips, since it had slowly become known in healthcare that my hips were ‘problematic devices.’
Within days, weeks & months of my bilateral revision surgery, 90% of my health problems vanished. Indeed the cobalt hips had been the culprit all along.
I hadn’t gone looking for the scandal/story I’d stumbled into.
Then I thought, “What are the chances that I just stumbled into the ONE time Pharma & the FDA have allowed truly dangerous products to market and spent years defending their safety and efficacy?”
That’s when I got curious about other devices, drugs and vaccines that people were saying were harmful.
Since my news career had been destroyed, back when my heath first fell apart, I began looking into many of those products too and found they were as bad or worse than even my hips.
I contacted former colleagues from my news days, hoping they’d jump at the chance to tell the story I’d accidentally uncovered.
Despite years of trying, only three journalists bit, even though the evidence of harm and victims were easy to find.
I thank God every day we still have independent journalists!
As a former journalist myself, this lack of willingness to warn people about a toxic metal, an alloy called cobalt chromium, still being used to make all sorts of devices that get implanted in people, even children, upset me. But I shouldn’t have to tell anyone which industry currently funds (and thus controls) our supposed ‘truth tellers.’
As a child of a surgeon who’d grown up reading medical journals, just because they were was the only thing lying around our house, I’d grown up completely believing in ‘the science’ and in the medical establishment.
Before being forced down this road, I had absolute faith in modern medicine.
Now I understand it’s no longer a calling; it’s a business, an insanely lucrative one.
All this to say, I get it.
I know how hard it was for you to accept a new, conflicting view of an industry in which you’d always put your faith.
I am proud of you, Katy, for having the courage to speak up about all you’ve been through, seen and realized.
As a person who still lives with pretty significant pain and who lacks the ability to do things most healthy adults can do, I appreciate you for telling the entire truth.
Yes, some drugs and devices help people, but that doesn’t mean we should turn a blind eye to the products, vaccines included, that hurt and kill people.
I believe you’ll be blessed for the sacrifice you, personally have made in writing this Substack.
Likewise Bobby Kennedy Jr. is a godsend and one of this world’s selfless and humble champions.
Like Del, Dr. Wakefield, Aaron Siri and all the heroic doctors, nurses and vaccine-harmed people who spoke up loudly during Covid, Bobby and you, Katy Talento, are our heroes.
So thank you.

Look up itsan.org to learn about the horror of steroid induced eczema and the subsequent withdrawals. It was one of my wake up calls to all things pharma.
Absolutely outstanding! The worst medical disaster of my career in medicine, if not the past 100 years...maybe more. Distrust in medicine, not just for COVID but everything, will last decades unless those who perpetrated this on the world are held accountable. Knowing how the power of Big Pharma has so corrupted organized and academic medicine really is sobering. My profession is either corrupt, or so cowardly as to be unbelievable in its recommendation.
I am sorry to say the 'medical profession' is broadly toxic being sold out to big pharma. Bizarre as it may seem, even anagrams of the phrase expose its nature as 'dim fecal poisoners' is but one of many.

Courage is admitting your past ignorance and acknowledging the truth and advocating for it. Bravo. Welcome to the real movement of truth and medicine, medical freedom, and actual science.
I wholeheartedly respect your honesty.
Thank you for your kindness!
Thank you for writing this article. This is incredibly important and thank you for the kind words.
Please do email me if you are so inclined at drmavresearch@gmail.com if you would like to connect further. I would like that.
Being awake is bittersweet. Thank you for sharing your story. I grew up in Leesburg, and my brother still lives in Loudoun. He was hospitalized with Covid pneumonia in October 2020, but thankfully we were able to get him the forbidden meds. His employer subsequently mandated the shot he did not need. I used to work for Fauci and also read RFK, Jr’s book. Mindblowing! I am now proudly anti-vaccine.
I was going to give vaccinations to my baby. I had never questioned any of it. A person at a chiropractor's office gave me a paper on the side effects of vaccines. I was stunned by it and I never vaccinated my baby. I watched as during the first years of her life she was totally different from the other kids. She was focused and fascinated with everything. Other children would cry A LOT. They looked ill. You could see it in their eyes. I am so appreciative of the person who gave me that paper on vaccines.
Getting red pilled shouldn't be so painful, yet here we are.
Welcome to the Party!!
Wow Katy—incredibly courageous of you to share this. I’m so glad I know you and grateful for how you use your wisdom and influence. Proud to have you on team heretic.
There is so much transformative work happening now, and yet more to be done. Grateful to be on the same team.
Thank you for sharing this. And I am truly grateful that your eyes have been opened to the truth and you are doing the work you are doing now. I follow you here and on LI; your posts are insightful and informative.
I have to be honest, though. As a nurse working in a hospital during COVID, I was sick to my stomach seeing intelligent people throwing common sense and YEARS of knowledge about viruses out the window because they drank the Kool Aid. I refused the jab and was treated like an absolute leper at the hospital because leadership was buying with the ‘authorities’ were selling.
I was forced to attend meetings via Zoom (instead of in person with the others) because I hadn’t been jabbed.
There are endless other examples of the treatment we (the unjabbed) were subjected to.
I think what makes me the most angry is nurses sacrificed to care for COVID patients, yet when we questioned the jab (efficacy, side effects, etc.) we were ridiculed, shunned, and given ultimatums.
Fortunately, I found work away from the bedside that did not require the jab.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but there is not enough money or incentive in the world to get me to return to the bedside after that experience.
I appreciate your experience and your honesty. I appreciate the situation you were in at the time.
Many of us are still dealing with the consequences - I love patient care! - and am completely gutted now.
I’m sure many other nurses left the bedside, leading to a further shortage of nurses. This has caused hospitals to ‘close’ beds (read: not admit patients due to not enough staff to care for patients) leading to a backlog of patients in the ED.
Nursing schools can’t find clinical rotation sites so they continue to do virtual clinical rotations (if they do clinicals at all), leading to nursing grads who are not prepared to care for real-life patients.
As you continue your work and mission now, please also consider these unintended consequences to use when advocating for fierce punishment of those who instigated this mess.
Truly, thank you for being open to seeing the truth.
So sorry to hear your experience, which echoes so many others as well. Nurses knew what was up.
