Join Us in Celebrating the Success of Vax Facts and the Movement Toward Informed Health Decisions

The publication date for Vax Facts was December 10th, 2024, and I’m thrilled to share that it has already become a top 5 bestseller for 2024 with publisher Morgan James! We are overjoyed to announce that Vax Facts, co-authored by Dr. Paul Thomas and DeeDee Hoover—known fondly as J.A.M. (Just A Mom)—has achieved a monumental milestone. This recognition as one of Morgan James Publishing’s Top 5 Best-Selling Books of 2024 underscores the importance of empowering families to make informed health decisions and highlights the incredible support of our community.
A Milestone Worth Celebrating
This book is the culmination of my journey as a Dartmouth Medical School-trained, board-certified pediatrician. For years, I adhered to the guidelines of the CDC and the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) regarding vaccines. But today, I am the proud author of Vax Facts, a book that reflects my evolving understanding of this critical issue for all ages and stages of life.
As I witnessed the alarming rise in developmental delays, autism, allergies, asthma, ADHD, diabetes, and other chronic conditions among children, I couldn’t stop asking why. When it became evident that vaccines were at least part of the reason for so many of these health challenges, I wrote The Vaccine-Friendly Plan. My goal with that book was to reduce aluminum exposure and slow down the vaccine schedule, which I believed moved far too quickly for infants and toddlers with developing brains and immune systems.
Now, in 2024, eight years later, we know so much more. My own data revealed that even The Vaccine-Friendly Plan was not safe enough. The harsh reality is that there are no vaccines on the current childhood schedule that have been properly tested for safety. None.
The studies used to support vaccines don’t rely on saline placebos as a control; instead, they compare one vaccine against another. Even when 5–10% of participants in both groups experience serious side effects, the vaccines are still considered “safe” because the outcomes are statistically similar. These studies are typically very short—days, in some cases—so they fail to capture long-term consequences like developmental delays, allergies, or autoimmune conditions. They often look only at specific outcomes, dismissing other negative effects as coincidences. Additionally, these pharma-funded studies never compare vaccinated individuals to unvaccinated ones, nor do they evaluate overall health outcomes or all-cause mortality.
Vax Facts simplifies these complex issues, empowering you to make informed decisions before you vaccinate. Once a vaccine is administered, it can’t be undone—so this book is a must-read for all parents and parents-to-be. The pharmaceutical industry is now aggressively targeting pregnant women and the elderly, making this book essential for everyone considering vaccines. With dedicated chapters on pregnancy and adult vaccinations,  it provides guidance for all ages and stages of life.

Dr. Paul and DeeDee on RFK Jr., Prioritizing Children, and Embracing Health for All

The election is over, the results are in, and one thing is clear… we have a new president elect. DeeDee (Just a Mom) and I, co-authors of the new book “Vax Facts What to Consider Before Vaccinating at All Ages and Stages” are united to putting kids first.

Our efforts beyond the book, include our https://www.kidsfirst4ever.com site with the goal of bringing resources that support kids and families.
With the country anticipating a new administration, one that includes RFK Jr., regardless of how you voted, we can all agree it is time to heal, time to unite and absolutely time to start putting children first and embrace health freedom.
DeeDee (Just a Mom) grew up in Texas, then the Pacific NW, with a childhood that was beyond difficult. She not only endured, but rose to live a life that is God-guided and focused on children and preventing pain through body work and coaching in all four areas; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Those are the guiding principles we work with at Kids First 4 ever.
I was a missionary kid who grew up in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia when I was there). My parents were very liberal and democrats for life. I recall my mom crying out loud when John F Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. In a rural village in Rhodesia, 6 years old, it was the first time I had ever seen my mom weeping. Five years later Robert Kennedy (RFK) was assassinated. Fast forward to our time and we have Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK’s son) leading the charge for medical freedom today.
RFK Jr. is a man of immense character, an attorney who has been fighting big corporations most of his life. We have looked into his eyes, shared time together and we would trust him with our children. We encourage you to do the same. He spent most of his career trying to hold big corporations accountable and fighting for our environment. When he realized that environmental factors were causing autism (vaccines being at the top of the list) and causing most of the chronic health conditions our children are now experiencing, RFK Jr. made children’s health his top priority. Children’s Health Defense (CHD) was formed and has become a powerful force.

DeeDee Hoover, RFK Jr., & Dr. Paul

With a new administration and Bobby assisting to Make America Healthy Again (MAHA), we should all be hopeful. I’m reminded of JFK’s call to the country, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country,” which challenged every American to contribute in some way to the public good. We believe we are all called at this time, regardless of party, to heed the same call.
We (Dr. Paul and DeeDee) intend to continue to put love first, to put kids first and to do what we can to bring love and healing to the forefront. Let us heal the divide, unite as parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles and put kids first. Whatever it takes.​
Regardless of your position on vaccines, we encourage you to read Vax Facts.
Thank-you.
​
Sincerely,
Dr. Paul and DeeDee (J.A.M.)
