    Raising Kids Who Thrive: Facts for Parents Not Fully Vaccinating

    ​As more parents weigh their options, fewer than 40% are choosing to follow the full CDC vaccine schedule for their children. What are the facts and where can these families turn for credible, research-backed guidance? In my practice and research, I’ve helped thousands navigate this journey safely and responsibly.
    For the 40% of new parents who are not going to fully vaccinate, where do you get credible information on which vaccines, if any, to do and when?
    The Vaccine-Friendly Plan, a book I published with Jennifer Margulis in 2016, offers one approach with health outcomes that are far superior to those of children vaccinated according to the CDC schedule (and that was before they added COVID!).
    BUT we have new data (10 years of Vaccine-Friendly Plan vs. non-vaccinated) from my practice: You can view the data in this peer-reviewed study (see graphs, page 14). This was published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health and viewed by 250,000 before being wrongfully retracted—the data is not disputed, only removed after a single complaint.
    The unvaccinated have far less asthma, allergies, behavioral issues, ADHD, and all infections (ear, sinus, eyes, skin, GI, and all combined). Isn’t the purpose of vaccines to decrease your child’s chance of getting infections?
    Picture
    This study and others, highlighted in my new book, VAX FACTS: What to Consider Before Vaccinating at All Ages & Stages of Life, make one thing abundantly clear: If you want a sicker child with many more chronic conditions… vaccinate.
    ​“If you want a healthy child that develops normally with a robust immune system that can fight all infections, don't vaccinate.”
    — Dr. Paul Thomas (retired)
    Did you know that for every vaccine on the CDC childhood recommended schedule, your child is far more likely to die from the vaccine than from the disease you are vaccinating against? The evidence is covered in VAX FACTS (paperback only).
    ​Parents deserve clear, unbiased information to help make the best decision for their families. The data shows that careful consideration—and sometimes a lighter vaccine approach—can lead to far healthier outcomes. If you want more information on safer approaches, visit Kids First 4Ever.

    HPV VACCINE: HELPFUL OR HARMFUL? with DR. PAUL THOMAS

    Dr. Paul Thomas Supports Vaccine Choice Canada on Podcast

    ​It was a privilege to join Vaccine Choice Canada on their podcast for a thoughtful discussion about the HPV vaccine. Together with Ted Kuntz and Dr. Stephen Malthouse, we explored essential questions for families: Does the HPV vaccine truly prevent cancer, and what are the real risks? Many parents are unaware that this vaccine is often administered in schools, sometimes without direct parental consent. My goal is always to provide balanced, evidence-informed guidance so that families can make truly informed choices.
    “For every parent, the right to informed consent is foundational. Only you can decide what’s best for your child.”
    ​—Dr. Paul Thomas
    During our conversation, we examined scientific evidence, the growing push for vaccination in schools, and the need to uphold medical freedom for all Canadian families. I stand firmly with Vaccine Choice Canada to defend our rights and keep open, honest dialogue at the forefront of children’s health.
    Watch or Listen Now:

    SIDS or SUID: The Real Reason Healthy Infants Are Suddenly Being Found Dead

    ​Why Are Healthy Babies Dying—and Who Gets Blamed?

    The May 23, 2025, CHD.TV interview “Toddler Twins: Born Together, Died Together Following Vaccinations” by Polly Tommy with the parents Andrea and Nathaniel exposes a tragic, far too common reality. Not only are thousands of babies dying after vaccines every year in the USA, but magnifying the tragedy, the parents are often blamed for the deaths that generally were caused by vaccines.
    Healthy infants don't just die without explanation. The challenge with SIDS, SUID, and a host of other reasons given for these deaths—like suffocation, co-sleeping, smothering, sleeping pillows or bedding, stuffed animals or crib pads, rooms too hot, parents who smoke, and more—is that none of these reasons given as the cause of death are properly studied or verified. Doctors, pathologists and coroners no longer are able to diagnose "death from vaccines". That code was removed decades ago. 
    “If the blame is placed where it belongs—the vaccines—then it could result in loss of trust in vaccines and the CDC, the AAP, and the entire public health system... To that I say SO WHAT!”
    — Dr. Paul Thomas
    The smoking gun, the elephant in the room, the reason that nobody is willing to admit is right in front of our noses: THE VACCINES!
    ​If the blame is placed where it belongs—the vaccines—then it could result in loss of trust in vaccines and the CDC, the AAP (Academy of Pediatrics), and the entire public health system, our pediatricians, our government, the media, and everyone who refuses to see what is right in front of our face.
    To that I say SO WHAT! If you were involved in promoting or giving a vaccine or multiple vaccines that killed a baby or in this case twins, you share in the blame for those deaths. Please stop pretending we don’t know, and we absolutely must stop blaming the victims here.
    Image description
    It is just criminal to blame parents who have just suffered the greatest loss any parent can go through—the death of your child—for something they had nothing to do with. These are parents who followed doctor’s advice to vaccinate. Perhaps they were driven by fear of the diseases that these vaccines are supposed to help prevent. The sad reality is that for every vaccine on the CDC schedule of recommended vaccines, your child is more likely to die from the vaccine than from the disease you are vaccinating against. See my book VAX FACTS and available everywhere books are sold.
    How Do We Know It Is the Vaccines That Are Killing So Many Infants?
    Simple. You look at the timing of the deaths relative to when vaccines are given. If it has nothing to do with vaccines, then the deaths would sprinkle randomly throughout the year. That is not what we see. We find that the data from studies that look at the question of when infant deaths occur relative to the date of vaccines is conclusive. As published by the Miller study “Vaccines and sudden infant death: An analysis of the VAERS database 1990–2019 and review of the medical literature,” 78% of infant deaths are occurring in the first week after vaccines. Almost none die in the week before vaccines. In one data set, 97% of infant deaths occurred in the first week after vaccines.
    ​SIDS was basically unheard of when I was a child. By 1972 it was the leading cause of post-neonatal mortality in the USA. Pierre Kory MD’s Substack on June 29, 2025, reviews the history well in his Substack post “The Suppression Of Vaccine-Induced Infant Deaths (SIDS) By Public Health Agencies Across The World”.
    So when did Andrea and Nathaniel’s twins die? Dr. Kory’s Medical Musings Substack reports “the deaths occurred on the night of Day 7 post-vaccination, a time when apnea episodes spike post-vaccination as per this carefully done study from 1991.”
    The Problem with Vaccine Safety Studies
    None of the vaccines being given to our infants and children have had proper safety testing. None used a saline placebo, none looked at all health outcomes, none were long term, and they all conclude that the vaccines were safe based on small, brief, poorly designed studies that frankly appear to have been designed intentionally to hide most side effects. When there were deaths in the studies, they were always declared a coincidence and not related to the vaccine. These declarations that the deaths were not related to the vaccines were made by the manufacturers who had a huge profit motive.
    What Should Parents Do?
    Parents, guardians, doctors, and all who want healthy children, it is time to stop all vaccines until proper safety testing is done. Thankfully, we have a pledge by RFK Jr., head of HHS, that the proper studies will be done, and that there will be transparency.
    So… Until the proper safety studies are done, there is only one sensible choice. Hold off on all childhood vaccines until we figure out if any are safer than the alternative, which is not to give the vaccines.
    From my research (see here) and that of many others, it appears abundantly clear that the best route to having a healthy child is to minimize toxins, avoid all vaccines, and do all you can to support a robust immune system. Natural immunity wins. The unvaccinated are by far healthier, happier, sharper, and overall have far fewer chronic health conditions. Full disclosure, my study was wrongfully retracted after almost 250,000 downloads in 6 months. It was not retracted because there was any problem with the data. This study has the largest single practice data comparing unvaccinated to variably vaccinated children over a 10-year period of time.

    Why Unvaccinated Children Are Rarely Sick: A Pediatrician’s Perspective on Vaccine Choices

    ​Exploring the Health Outcomes of Unvaccinated Kids and the Importance of Informed Consent

    why unvaccinated children are healthier, vaccine injury stories, informed consent pediatrician, Dr. Paul Thomas vaccine data, VAX FACTS paperback only
    ​The unvaccinated children are rarely sick, and when they do get an infection, they recover much faster than their vaccinated friends. The unvaccinated have far fewer chronic health conditions. Why don’t other doctors and pediatricians see what became so obvious to me over the last decade of my medical career?
    ​Other doctors and pediatricians discharge families from their practice if they don’t follow the CDC schedule. They are selectively punishing the vaccine-injured and blinding themselves to the truth that is right under their noses by refusing to see the very patients they injured with their vaccines—injuries they don’t recognize.
    Families who have witnessed a child regress into severe non-verbal autism are understandably reluctant to spin the wheel of misfortune and vaccinate their next child or children. Those families end up in the few practices that honor informed consent and the ethical principle of “First, Do No Harm.” In many cases, those families simply don’t have access to a pediatrician or doctor experienced in the care of unvaccinated children.
    ​Their “crime”?
    Paying attention to what happens to their children after vaccines and being unwilling to harm their children because of what they know.
    Picture
    “You cannot unknow what you know, and you cannot unsee what you have seen.”
    — Dr. Paul Thomas
    ​Can you imagine how frustrating and isolating it is when these parents try to share their experience and warn other parents and loved ones, only to be shunned and accused of being misinformed?
    As a pediatrician who spoke up about what I was seeing, published this key article (read here), and lost my license and booming pediatric practice, I share that experience of being canceled and shunned by my peers and the establishment. Yes, this article was wrongfully retracted. The data is real and remains relevant and significant. This Vigilant Fox Substack gives a clear summary.
    To all the parents and professionals who know what is actually going on, who have studied all the science, and understand that we are destroying our nation’s and our world’s children with vaccines and other poisons in our world—we cannot remain silent any longer.
    Image description
    My new book, VAX FACTS: What to Consider Before Vaccinating at All Ages & Stages of Life, is a simple read, well-referenced, and your resource when it comes to vaccines. Consider this your informed consent manual—what your pediatrician should have told you before you chose to vaccinate. This really should be required reading for anyone considering children and before stepping into any pediatric office.
