Del breaks down a historic week in Washington D.C. as HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr., new FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, and other leading health freedom voices take bold action to eliminate toxic chemicals from America’s food supply.

Then, Jefferey Jaxen exposes how the White House quietly embraces the lab leak theory, confirms years of reporting on The HighWire, and tracks the collapse of Bayer’s Roundup empire. Plus: explosive new data linking COVID shots to rising cancer rates—and the government finally starting to walk back its vaccine recommendations.

Also, health policy advocate Bernadette Pajer returns to discuss the groundbreaking new law she authored in Tennessee--The Restore Trust in Public Health Messaging Act (HB1157)—which was just signed into law.

This first-of-its-kind legislation prohibits public health claims about vaccines, masks, or EUA products that contradict official FDA or EUA labeling. That means no more unverified statements like "COVID vaccines are safe for pregnant women" or "masks prevent viral spread" unless those claims are explicitly supported by the product’s authorized use, a major win for truth and transparency in public health.

Finally, retired pediatrician Dr. Paul Thomas reveals his powerful journey from pro-vaccine practitioner to outspoken critic of the CDC schedule in his latest book, Vax Facts. He opens up about what changed his mind and heart—and shares his perspective on the national awakening around autism.

If you missed this landmark episode of The HighWire, it's not too late! Watch the full show now at TheHighWire.com/WATCH and witness the bold moves reshaping health freedom, transparency, and public trust.

Dear Friends,
I’ve got exciting news to share—I’ll be joining Del Bigtree LIVE and in studio this Thursday, April 24th at 11:00 a.m. Pacific / 2:00 p.m. Eastern on his powerful show, The HighWire.  We will discuss the new autism numbers and explore the environmental causes for autism along with conversations about: medical freedom, informed consent, putting our kids first and the new book "Vax Facts". 

We’re living in a time when speaking truth requires courage—and this show is one of the few platforms that still does. I’m deeply honored to sit with Del and share the message behind VAX FACTS, and how we at Kids First 4Ever are helping families cut through the noise to make truly informed decisions.

If you haven’t grabbed your copy of VAX FACTS yet, it’s available here in paperback or you can get a personalized, signed copy from me and DeeDee.

This is your invitation to tune in, watch live, and share this with anyone who believes that truth and transparency still matter.

​With gratitude,

Let's be clear, autism is destroying the lives of too many children and their families. The latest CDC report (Reference: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/74/ss/ss7402a1.htm) states that autism in 8-year-olds in the U.S.A. (for the 2002 data) is now 1 in 31—and 1 in 20 for boys—and in California for 4-year-olds it is 1 in 12.5.

This is catastrophic, and it is long past time this crisis is averted. The rate of autism for boys in California will be even worse when they compile the data for 8-year-old boys in four years.

Let's clear up one of the most divisive issues that is not helpful: the topic of neurodiversity and the idea that looking for what is driving this epidemic of autism is not honoring those who claim to be autistic and neurodiverse. If you are claiming to be autistic or have been diagnosed with ASD, but are functioning well, can take care of yourself, and will be able to live independently, then—while you may have autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a term I don't like because of the word "disorder"—you can absolutely celebrate your neurodiversity and live a meaningful and wonderful life whether or not you understand or identify the reasons for your neurodiversity and ASD. For the roughly 25% of those with autism/ASD who have profound autism, it is nothing to celebrate. Do the parents of these children love and fight for their children? Absolutely! These are some of the most wonderful parents in the world who would give their lives to have their child recover.

Most with profound autism will require lifelong care. They will not generally hold down a job or live independently; many are incapacitated with frequent seizures and need help with toileting and social situations. Many are in constant pain and live with debilitating anxiety.

As a retired pediatrician who honored informed consent and supported parents who chose not to vaccinate because they had done the research, I saw something most other pediatricians have not seen. I saw how incredibly healthy the unvaccinated children were—with virtually zero autism and far less ADHD, developmental delays, learning issues, eczema, asthma, allergies, and infections of all kinds.

Below are the graphs of the data from my practice comparing the unvaccinated to the variably vaccinated—those who were basically following the Vaccine-Friendly Plan outlined in my book by the same name.

Because other pediatricians were discharging patients who would not follow the CDC schedule, for many years before my retirement, I was getting 3–4 new families a week in my practice who shared—with tears and sorrow—the tragic regression of a normally developing infant (usually between the age of 1–2 years old) into severe nonverbal autism. These were the profound autism children that no one could ever miss, so it clearly has nothing to do with better diagnosis, recognition, or changing diagnostic criteria.

Let's address the issue of association versus causation. While it is true that association does not necessarily mean causation, in medicine the first step in identifying causation is to notice an association and then research and determine if multiple studies show the same thing and whether there are plausible mechanisms that would explain how causation could take place.

No one questions whether penicillin can cause an allergic reaction. Now, for those of us who look at all the data and have lived through the past 20 years with a curious mind and careful attention to the literature and the patients right in front of us, we are clear on some of the causes and mechanisms that result in what we call autism, ASD, and a host of other chronic conditions in childhood.

Thankfully, we now have Bobby Kennedy (RFK Jr.) at the helm of HHS, leading the charge to figure this out and hopefully put an end to the iatrogenic causes of this crisis.

Iatrogenic in medicine means that it is something we are doing that is the problem. Could it be that we are doing something that is triggering this regression into autism in this growing percentage of children? What could it be?

The answer is the elephant in the room—the vaccines. The very thing we've been told over and over for 20 years does NOT cause autism, despite no proper studies on the effects of the vaccines on all health outcomes and despite no proper placebo-controlled studies on vaccine safety conducted by everyone from the NIH to the CDC and the pharmaceutical industry.

So, what are the mechanisms of harm? What are the most likely factors resulting in the explosion of autism in our world? What are the most likely top candidates for environmental causes? While genetic vulnerability is real, for there to be an epidemic in one or two generations there must be an environmental cause.

The mechanisms are clear: direct toxicity, immune activation and dysregulation, along with excitotoxicity.

What agents do this? Aluminum is a particularly bad actor here. It is responsible for direct toxicity, immune activation, and triggering autoimmunity. Most vaccines in the childhood schedule contain aluminum. Vaccines often contain many other toxins, like thimerosal (mercury) that is still in the multidose flu shot, formaldehyde (embalming fluid) that is in many vaccines, and many other ingredients that are immune activating.

But my child got all the vaccines, and they are fine, so it can’t be the vaccines! WRONG.

​Remember that before we moved from thinking that cigarettes were associated—and later known—to cause lung cancer and heart disease, there were lots of smokers who did not develop cancer or heart disease. The same is true for the vaccines. If you aren’t aware of the harm, then you won’t recognize all the negative health effects caused by the vaccines.

Here are some of the known causes of chronic health problems and autism:

• Vaccines, particularly the MMR and the Hepatitis B given to infants.
  
• The toxins in the vaccines, particularly aluminum.
  
• Acetaminophen/Paracetamol (Tylenol) – blocks the production of glutathione.
  
• Glyphosate.
  
• Nutrient deficiencies, especially vitamin D.
  
• Genetic vulnerabilities that increase risks to the above.
  

​This is not a comprehensive list, but a good start. If parents chose to follow the actual good science (and reject the junk science that is poorly done or intentionally meant to mislead), the following few steps could largely end the autism epidemic and significantly reduce the chronic diseases our children are suffering from. I'm not licensed, nor do I give medical advice; so the list below is simply a science-guided approach based on what we now know:

The obvious number one culprit for what is destroying our children's health is the vaccines. California has one of the most highly vaccinated childhood populations in the country, and they have the highest rate of autism. In the U.S.A., we have one of the highest numbers of vaccines being given to infants and children. We also have one of the highest rates of infant mortality among developed nations. In our new book VAX FACTS (VAX FACTS Website), in the chapter on SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) you will see that for the six peer-reviewed studies that looked at SIDS as it relates to when these babies died relative to when they got vaccines, the results were shocking: Seventy-eight (78)% died in the first week after vaccines!

Kennedy also made clear that the recent CDC data shows that "nearly two-thirds of children with ASD in the latest survey had either severe or borderline intellectual disability (ID)."

​The destruction of our children’s brains, neurodevelopment, and immune systems must stop! Parents, the danger is real, and until it is acknowledged and the vaccine program halted, it is up to you to study this and stop vaccinating until you truly understand the impact of the decision to vaccinate.

Consider our new book VAX FACTS: What to Consider Before Vaccinating at All Ages & Stages of Life as your guide to informed consent. (Available only in paperback; see also details on Kids First 4Ever.)

If you want help thinking through your unique situation (perhaps you are traveling, have family history considerations, or there is a disease outbreak for which a vaccine is available—or maybe you aren’t on the same page as your partner), consider coaching with Dr. Paul or DeeDee (JAM, Just a Mom) at Kids First 4Ever Coaching. DeeDee also specializes in communication, whether with your partner, doctor, friend, or relative.

To make the decision not to vaccinate a little easier for those who are new to thinking about this, I would encourage you to consider that for every single disease for which there is a vaccine, your child is more likely to die from the vaccine than from the disease itself. 

Summary: The risk of death is higher from the vaccine than the risk of death from the disease attributable to not being vaccinated. Source: https://vaxcheckers.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/PRJN4.pdf

Gratitude goes to the legal team and the Control Group who did the heavy lifting to get the data and generate the report referenced here, and to Ted Kuntz who caught the error in our first printing of Vax Facts and pulled together this concise graphic above.

Greetings,
I was recently interviewed on episode 409 of the Birthing Instincts podcast, hosted by Blyss Young and Dr. Stuart Fischbein. The episode is titled “Facts on VAX and so much else with Dr. Paul Thomas” and covers the real and urgent issues families face today when it comes to pediatric health and vaccinations

During our conversation, I shared what I’ve learned through years of pediatric practice, research, and listening to parents—especially when it comes to the outcomes we’ve seen in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children, and the troubling financial incentives that exist within the medical system​. These are just some of the themes we explore in the book VAX FACTS, co-authored with DeeDee Hoover (JAM—Just a Mom), which we wrote to help families make fully informed decisions.

The podcast hosts brought insight and passion to this conversation, and I’d like to introduce them properly here:

Their mission aligns beautifully with ours at Kids First 4Ever: to empower parents to trust their instincts and take back authority over their children's health.

While the public health agencies, the CDC, the AAP, and most doctors are still repeating the old lie that “vaccines are safe and effective” and that there is no link between vaccines and autism, more and more data and studies are proving without a doubt that vaccines are indeed a strong cause of autism.

This latest study, just published in January 2025 by Anthony R. Mawson and Binu Jacob, looked at government data for 47,155 nine-year-old children enrolled in the Florida Medicaid program since birth. The authors make these statements:

The graphs here say it all:

It turns out that those well-child visits at the pediatrician’s office are actually vaccine visits, and the more you have, the more likely it is that your child becomes autistic.

With autism rates already at 1/36 in the USA, and higher for boys and higher for those with family histories of autism or other neurodevelopmental issues, it is time to STOP vaccinating children while we take a thorough look at the vaccines.

This is the latest study in a growing list of well-done studies all showing the same results: vaccines are increasing childhood chronic diseases, neurodevelopmental conditions and infections, allergies, and autoimmunity.

The data from 2008–2015 from my practice (published in the book The Vaccine-Friendly Plan) from 2008–2015 showed no autism in the unvaccinated and a rate of 1/60 for those most vaccinated, who were essentially following the CDC schedule. Notice that for those following the Vaccine-Friendly Plan (about half the number of vaccines as the CDC schedule and given one at a time and more delayed), there were 3 cases of autism that resolved by the time of the published data. The resolution was likely because any child who was showing developmental delays would no longer get any vaccines, and other measures were taken to attempt to heal and reverse the course of their health challenges.

​Mawson et al. published the important data showing the correlation between vaccines and numerous health conditions.

Chronic illness was 2.4 times more common in vaccinated children. Neurodevelopmental disorders, autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities were 3.7–5.2 times more common in the vaccinated when compared to the unvaccinated.

The data from the Hooker and Miller 2020 study, Analysis of health outcomes in vaccinated and unvaccinated children: Developmental delays, asthma, ear infections and gastrointestinal disorders, showed a very statistically significant doubling of developmental delays and ear infections in the vaccinated and a 4.5-times increase in asthma in the vaccinated when compared to unvaccinated children.

The data from my practice, which included all children born into the practice over a 10.5-year period, confirmed the 300–400% increase in numerous conditions when compared to the unvaccinated.

Notice that for all the conditions— asthma, allergic rhinitis, urticaria, breathing issues, eye disorders, behavioral issues, ADHD, and infections (ears, respiratory, skin, and all infections)—the orange line representing the vaccinated children rises over the 10 years of data to much higher levels. This represents more cases and more severity of these conditions for the vaccinated when compared to the unvaccinated. There were 5 times more vaccinated in this study, so the numbers for the unvaccinated were multiplied by 5 to make up for the difference in group sizes.​

​This landmark article, which I co-authored with James Lyons-Weiler, was published in November 2020 in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (PDF Version: https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/22/8674/pdf).

Full disclosure: after 6 months and 250,000 downloads, the article was wrongfully retracted based on one complaint that was absolutely without merit. Days after this article was available online, my license to practice medicine was emergently suspended with the accusation that I was a threat to public health. More accurately, I was a threat to vaccine profits. The health of our children is being destroyed by vaccines, as these studies and many more show. We now have hundreds of articles that document vaccine harm.

One thing parents fear the most is the death of their child, for whatever reason! The public panic, fanned by misleading media coverage of measles claiming that two children have died in Texas this year from measles, is unfortunately misguided. Both children died from medical mismanagement, and it is clear now that neither child actually died of measles, and likely neither of them even had a measles infection— they certainly didn’t have measles at the time of death. For in-depth analysis of the measles stories, I refer you to the Children’s Health Defense online journal The Defender and to CHDTV.

Vaccines are the leading cause of SIDS. The USA has one of the worst infant mortality rates, and it is getting worse. The most recent data released by the CDC on infant mortality states that in 2022 there were over 20,000 infant deaths. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db492-tables.pdf#5

The number three cause of infant deaths, behind congenital and chromosomal issues and deaths related to prematurity and low birth weight (something that is also increased by vaccines during pregnancy), is SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). More than 7,000 deaths are listed as "all other causes." Undoubtedly, many of these are also vaccine-related but simply not recognized. Many infant deaths are labeled as suffocation when, in fact, it was likely a vaccine issue.

In the chapter on SIDS in my latest book VAX FACTS (vaxfactsbook.com), I make it clear that most SIDS (78%) represents an infant dying in the first week after vaccines. They are not dying in the week before vaccines.

Parents, we are called to protect and nurture our children. It is long overdue that we recognize vaccines for the danger they really are. Please understand that the unvaccinated are the healthiest children of all. Not one unvaccinated child in my practice, over the 35 years of my pediatric career, died of a disease for which there are vaccines. The natural immune system is amazing. These children (and I have cared for over 1,000 unvaccinated children) are the healthiest of all. They rarely get sick, and when they do, they recover quickly.

We live in a very toxic world today with contaminated food, water, and air, along with EMF (Electromagnetic Frequencies) that at times stresses our bodies beyond their ability to maintain health. We need to pay attention to eating organic, drinking well-filtered water, avoiding mold-contaminated indoor environments, and minimizing EMF exposure.

Stress is perhaps the most underappreciated toxin in our world. Screens add stress. Our homes need to be that safe place for the entire family. We all benefit from time in nature, sunshine, and grounding (walking barefoot on the ground or on a sandy beach).

Blessings,

The more information we get, the better we are at making informed decisions. The issue seems to be that not everyone understands what true informed consent means. Luckily, I feel the tides are changing, and more information will come out regarding the lack of safety of vaccines. I struggle with understanding why vaccines haven’t been truly tested. The inserts even say there are side effects, one of which can be death, so how do you then say “they are safe and effective”?

There is misinformation regarding measles and other infections this year. The hope for many of us was that RFK Jr. would be making these changes. Anything he does or says is being changed into what the media wants you to know. It seems clear that no matter what is said publicly, it gets distorted by mainstream media and the establishment. The fear-mongering is damaging to those of us that are in this fight to do the best for our children, as we are left feeling like we have no rights to make the best decisions for us. I truly hope that we can stay strong. Find your tribe! Arm yourself with the skills to stand up for you and your family.

​Dr. Paul and I are both available for coaching. You don't have to make these decisions by yourself.

As time goes by, my prayer is that the divide in this world will change. Please don't ever let someone—anyone—tell you what to do. What we put into our bodies and our children should be our choice. Allowing the government to decide what we should do is simply insanity to me, and mandates are next-level stupidity.

​Take back your power. Only you should decide what, if anything, gets injected into your healthy child.
