Dr. Paul and DeeDee — Just a Mom, authors of the 2025 bestseller Vax Facts: What to Consider Before Vaccinating at All Ages & Stages of Life — thank you for your continued support in helping this important book reach families who need it most. 
Thank you as well to everyone who made this possible; while becoming a bestseller is meaningful, what matters most is that this achievement allows more people to access this vital information.
Among the many critical issues affecting our children today, bodily integrity stands above all else. No government, public health agency, doctor, or other entity should have the authority to force medical treatments or injections on our children. Period.
There has been meaningful progress over the past year toward removing vaccine mandates. Currently, 45 states allow religious and/or philosophical exemptions. These exemptions affirm that legislators in those states recognize a parent’s or guardian’s right to decline some or all vaccines for their children.
However, five states — California, New York, Maine, Connecticut, and West Virginia — still allow only medical exemptions for school attendance. In these states, parents who do not wish to follow the full state-recommended vaccine schedule are often left with only two options: homeschooling or leaving the state. Medical exemptions are extremely difficult to obtain, as physicians who provide them risk professional discipline or loss of licensure.
​In Vax Facts, parents learn that for every vaccine on the childhood immunization schedule, the risk of serious harm or death from the vaccine itself is greater than the risk posed by the disease it is intended to prevent. The book is written as an accessible, science-based resource for expectant parents and families seeking clear, factual information to guide informed decision-making.
​An important legal step toward restoring religious exemptions nationwide has also occurred. The United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) vacated a Second Circuit ruling that had allowed New York State to penalize Amish families for refusing pharmaceutical injections in violation of their religious beliefs.

As we look ahead with hope for our children’s future, it is essential to remember that their health and well-being remain in our hands. Above all, children need love and connection, clean filtered water, nourishing organic food, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep. Equally important is remaining vigilant about environmental toxins — including excessive screen time, which can be deeply stressful even when it appears entertaining.
With gratitude and blessings,
DeeDee and Dr. Paul
