My story 🧵

In 2009, the MMR injured my son. He exceeded every developmental milestone, but the next day he developed a fever & vertigo. Took to the ER after falling. He then stop developing, lost all language, chronic health issues and regressed into a shell of himself.

1/35

It took a while to realize what had happened. We were gaslit hard. First at the ER, then by our pediatrician. Even friends and relatives. The Media (obviously). And internet searches only directed us to Autism Speaks 🤮

2/35

Despite the gaslighting, we told the pediatrician we were done vaccinating (both my injured son and also my newborn son).

Then we received a letter that we were being kicked out of the practice. I was confused.

3/35

I didn't know what an "anti-vaxxer" was. I didn't know it was a controversial subject. And I sure didn't know that pharmaceutical companies incentivized vaccine compliance.

I thought I was simply refusing a medical procedure...like an x-ray.

4/35

It wasn't until we found TACA did we start to find some answers.

TACA is an organization where local parents of autistic children get together to support each other.

5/35

At the time, it stood for Talk About Curing Autism.

Wait what?! CURING?? We were told by EVERYONE it was genetic.

And just about every parent had the same story.
Vaccine Injury -> autism.

6/35

Mind blown, eyes opened, all in. Meeting parents and getting some direction was invaluable.

Conferences like Autism One were also fantastic. Met more parents (w/ the same story), doctors promoting detox & healthy lifestyles, and even some very awake celebrities.

7/35

Now when the mainstream media discovered these doctors and celebrities, they raked them over the freaking coals. That was my first glimpse of the deeply rooted media corruption.

8/35

We started seeing DAN doctors (Defeat Autism Now), bio-med doctors, homeopaths, out of network neurologists. The kitchen sink of supplements and treatments. Nothing was covered by insurance. Savings account drained. But totally worth it.

9/35

We've recovered so much. He was present again. No longer lost in a world of stimming and moaning. We still have a ways to go. We haven't recovered speech (yet). But his light is back on.

I've seen full recovery first hand. Autism is medical and treatable.

10/35

Then SB 277 happened. Disneyland had a supposed measles outbreak in Jan 2015 and by Feb 2015, there was already legislation in place to strip Californians of vaccine exemptions.

Wow that was fast. 🙄

11/35

States across the country were in lockstep going after exemptions. Our state of Illinois (at the time) passed legislation to make it significantly harder to get an exemption. We fought it. Writing letters, protesting, anything we can do.

12/35

SB 277 was my red pill moment for everything beyond medical greed and incompetence.

I realized that it is much more diabolical. A corruption involving pharma, politicians, the media. It was about power and control.

13/35

We fought tirelessly for medical freedom and raising awareness while continuing to heal our son.

I was never very political. I leaned conservative but had plenty of liberal friends and family in Illinois. All that changed in 2016.

14/35

In 2016, Hillary Clinton ran for president.

I didn't care much about any of the candidates, but after the Disneyland measles "incident" politicians began exposing themselves. And pharma financed Hillary wasn't shy about her position.

15/35

Now I know that the HRC rabbit hole is deeper than that, but at the time this is what mattered to me. I was a one issue voter. My gut told me she was bad news. And we'd be screwed if she won.

16/35

Fast forward to covid. Now living in Arizona.

Right from the start of the "pandemic", many of us in the community saw right through it. And we knew that once the vaccines arrived, it was going to get messy. We saw mandates and passports coming a mile away.

17/35

They've been trying this same "covid" game plan for years, albeit on a much smaller scale, but the goal was always the same: Terrorize us to voluntarily give up our freedoms in exchange for security.

18/35

But we were ready for it. We were already hardened from years of fighting.

The community was ready to hold the line before the "pandemic" ever kicked off.

19/35

Most of us have already lost friends and family through the years living an alternative lifestyle.

Losing more during the "pandemic" was just more of the same. We were already numb to it.

20/35

It wasn't their fault, though. They were weaponized against us. Everything was coordinated. The fear mongering. The threats. The discrimination. Even politicizing the vaccine was intentional.

21/35

But our community wasn't alone holding the line. Other communities of "truthers" joined us in this fight. We didn't have to agree on everything, but we had a common enemy and common cause that unified us.

22/35

We began to share information. Waking people up to our specific cause. Our community was able to share information about all vaccines to those skeptical of the covid vaccines. Finally, it was happening. People willing to listen. Fertile soil for planting seeds.

23/35

Sharing outlawed information on social media. They tried to convince us to get off it. They said Social Media was dangerous. Remember the "Social Dilemma" doc on Obama's Netflix?

When that didn't work, they buried us with an algorithm. And then they just kicked us off.

24/35

Then the lockdowns happened. Masks happened. Along with weaponized discrimination. But we held the line.

I've been thrown out of Sprouts more times than I could count for not masking. I'm sure they hated putting back my full shopping cart. But I never stopped going.

25/35

Then the church that I went to shut down. When they finally reopened it, they had a mask mandate.

Many churches followed suit. They answered to the government and made excuses for doing so. This infuriated me. 😡

26/35

This is when I realized that behind the corruption was a very real evil. Biblical evil.

It finally dawned on me that the Bible is not from "a long time ago in a galaxy far far away". We are living it. I began to see it everywhere.

27/35

I started seeing evil in the media (tv, radio, movies), politics, and very much pharmaceuticals (pharmakeia). And it's not horns and pitchforks as much as it's godlessness in the guise of love. Satan has been here a long time and has perfected this ruse.

28/35

I started to crave scripture. I left my old church and I started reading the Bible with my family every night. I recently found a Bible study group here in Twitter and I think it's a nice fit. This feels like an actual walk with Christ.

29/35

As you may have already realized, I never mentioned God at the beginning of my story.

I did grow up Christian. I put in my hour a week. Prayed before bed. But I never had a relationship. I lived a hypocrites life. I know I still do but I see it now and want to do better.

30/35

I never put God first. If someone asked how we got so far with my son's recovery, I'd name some diet or treatment or supplement. But it was only through God's grace and mercy that we've accomplished so much. And when he's completely healed, it will be to show God's glory.

31/35

I know that we're being used by God. I try to be thankful for our trials & tribulations. I pray for the faith to trust God's plan, whatever it may be. I'm thankful for being saved.

And I plan to re-baptize my boys myself at the river when they're ready to live for Christ.

32/35

I still blame myself for my son's injury. It's hard not to.

The guilt broke me for a while, but now I use it as fuel. It's my motivation. But this is very much a story of triumph and I'm glad that I got to share it with you all.

33/35

I originally wrote this because someone DM'd me asking about my story. But I figured I'd just share it with everyone. I can probably go into further detail on every post but I'll save it for the book. 🙃

34/35

I know that many of you have the exact same story.

But I really appreciate you reading it. And if you've made it this far, let me know so I can follow you if I don't already.

To be continued...

I would like to add that my wife is amazing. She spearheaded most of the recovery process. She has a background in the medical field so she was able to navigate some of the details that went above my head. When I say "we" in my story, much of it was her. I am very blessed.

36/35

Years ago I read somewhere that over 80% of marriages involving a special needs child ends in divorce.

My theory is that it's because both are not on the same page. Unequivocally. And unconditionally supportive.

37/35

I have strained relationships with friends and family simply for not being on the same page.

I feel that this is the "divorce" depicted in that statistic manifesting elsewhere.

38/35

But I refuse to let that happen to my marriage. We go out of our way to be on the same page. And if we're not, we try to see things from each other's POV and compromise. And we understand our strengths and weaknesses and can differ to those.

39/35

I understand the some partners are just deadbeats and there's no way around it.

My heart goes out to the MANY single parents of special needs children. It takes a special kind of warrior for that job.

The tribe is here for you. ❤
