I am a NYC Parent of a 25 year old Son with Autism. Al Roker is also a Father to a Son with Autism. Robert De Niro is also a Father to a Son with Autism.

They both have platforms that money can't buy, and they do nothing. There is no possible way that they do have have some knowledge that there has been this Vaccine controversy in the Autism population for 20+ years.

My Father was an Infectious Disease MD, so I was dragged into this conversation about vaccines. It took me 10 years to accept that my son was damaged by a vaccine.

I am NOT "anti-vaxxer", but for crying out loud, let's have some REAL research on the cumulative effect of all the vaccines added to the Vaccine Schedule since the 1986 Vaccine Act. It has NEVER been done - https://childrenshealthdefense.org/child-health-topics/known-culprits/vaccines-culprit/cdc-recommended-vaccine-schedule-1986-vs-2019/

I love Thanksgiving and want to be kind, but the weak men of celebrity culture in the Autism community are... you get the point.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I would hazard a guess that the first excuse that will be made is that "he got the pulmonary embolism from the Covid infection, not from the vaccine." We will need more studies comparing the unvaccinated to vaccinated, or perhaps better yet, those with natural immunity compared to those who are vaccinated, to nail down the real cause of these health problems. I'm pretty sure it's the vaccine, as I saw firsthand someone die from the vaccine, but to convince others, we will need documented evidence.

One thing that really annoyed me was the press up here in Canada were encouraging people to get the vaccine, even if they had already contracted Covid. Not only was this bad advice, but it potentially makes it more difficult to weed out the effects of the vaccine, as opposed to any possible longer term effects from Covid infection. If people have both (vaccine and Covid infection), then any future problems will be blamed on Covid, and not on the vaccine. Perhaps that was the intention all along.

I had to laugh:

While the Hospital medical director looked on, Nurse Jessica adroitly jabbed poor old Al with no aspiration at all. Just jabbed it in there and yanked it out. Did it hit a vein / artery?! hmmm.

Covid-19 was made out to be such a terrifying monster that the trusting public will still line up for a mRNA booster jab. How can we normalize the Covid-19, and variants, risk? How do we present mRNA vaccines as the untested and potentially dangerous gene therapy drugs that they are? Herein lies the rub.

Autopsies on anyone who dies with the mRNA vaccines in their body would go a long way. Telling personal stories is an effective means too. And yet the amount of money that Pfizer and Moderna have to promote their interests is so massive and effective, it is a truly daunting task.

But we must try. We must do all we can to provide healthy choices for those we love and care about.

We can only offer the information though. Treating family and loved ones with respect, even if they are making choices we don’t agree with, is one of the hardest things I’ve had to do these past few years. Both of my children and all six of their children have been vaccinated and boosted. Knowing the very real potential long term effects of the mRNA vaccines leaves me in an impossible position. But change comes from within for each and every person. I would not want someone to force me to get a mRNA vaccine so I must not force my choice on others.

Stay connected and and let your own good health speak for itself. There is always a way….

Roker is a likeable person, but he is now a dead man walking. Sad and completely avoidable.

And.. Ari Fleisher has bells palsy ?!? I can pretty much tell all on tv or in person who had it... they are skinnier somewhere. Sometimes they lost weight without trying. Sometimes they just look skinnier at their upper nose/inner canthus and eyebrow ridge (as happens in aging) and eyes are more sunk, dark circles are more prominent than before. Sometimes their skin is sallow too, from that thick blood with lower oxygen perfusion. Truly. Sad.

Poor Al and all the elders convinced by the koolaid drinkers that the vax is safe and effective. Since one of my sisters colluded with a doctor sister and jabbed my 92 year old mom a fourth time, her dementia symptoms have skyrocketed. I am primary caregiver for mom but thank God I've had a bad virus during the 3 weeks since the shot, forcing the vaxxers to deal with the consequences of their decisions. Sometimes justice prevails!!
