    Empowering You to Make Informed Decisions on Vaccines With Melissa Curtin

    In this episode I speak with Melissa Curtin. Melissa is an avid researcher on the topic of vaccines. We discuss how she began studying vaccines, where to start when doing your own research, vaccine ingredients, and so much more. I know this is a hot topic so please be sure to keep an open mind. Please note that this podcast is not medical advice, but rather, information to help you do your own research and give you the tools to make the best choices for your family. Below is a list of resources. As a mom, I have decided not to do vaccines for our children or my husband and I. But I think it is so important that we have the tools we need to make these choices and stand up for our health freedoms. God created our bodies with the beautiful gift of natural immunity, the best immunity.
