Learn about current legislation in the area of v@xxines and what is at stake in Texas and nationwide and get insight into how you can get involved on a community level.    About Texans for v@xxine Choice: As a speech-language pathologist, Rebecca has encountered many children with profound v@xxine injuries. These experiences created a passion for protecting others from these kinds of negative health outcomes, which she has turned into activism. Rebecca currently serves as its Director of State Policy for Texans for V@xxine Choice. Whether it’s meeting with legislators, drafting legislative strategy, or block-walking for candidates, Rebecca is dedicated to protecting medical liberties and informed consent for all Texans.   In 2015, when legislators were led astray and filed oppressive bills that would take away parental rights and v@xxine choice, Jackie Schlegel stepped up to the plate, said: "not on my watch,” and threw her hat into the political arena. In just four short years, she took a group of passionate moms and turned it into the epitome of grassroots activism, setting an unprecedented standard for the nation and even drawing worldwide attention.    That fledgling group of 20 is now a political action committee and educational foundation, with over 30,000 social media followers as well as 12,000+ official members who proudly align themselves with Texans for v@xxine Choice. Thanks to Jackie's endless energy and passion, this group is organized with local branches, core members, and team leaders impacting their schools, their communities, and their legislators. Her unshakable dedication inspires all members to have a laser focus on their mission of protecting and advancing informed consent, medical privacy, and v@xxine choice.   Also in this episode: Episode 179: Coronavirus and Immune System Support Episode 188: Body Autonomy and Listening to Your Inner Wisdom with Dr. Christiane Northrup Episode 214: Genetic SNP and Medical Autonomy Episode 219: DIVOC and Long Haulers Texans for v@xxine Choice Matching Donation Campaign TFVC Proclamation TFVC Welcome to Texas Guide PSA: Covid v@xxines and vulnerable Texans

Here we are 1 year in and we know a lot more than we did from our last official coverage in February. In this episode we cover updates on masks, disinfectants, and lockdowns, as well as new studies demonstrating lack of efficacy and serious concerns. We also unpack the stats on death toll noting this year there has been no increase in total death count when comparing to prior years sharing the work of John Hopins research demonstrating a reclassification of deaths vs. deaths caused by coronavirus. Beyond classification of deaths, we cover the faulty testing being used to drive the case count.   This episode ensures you are empowered with the connection of susceptibility + infection = disease. The infection or exposure alone may not be significant as updated data demonstrates. However, the restrictions continue to tighten and threats loom into 2022?!? We question the narrative and call out medical incongruency with policy as well as cover food-as-medicine and supplement support.   Have you been infected with COVID? We cover the mechanisms of long-haulers and how to support the body in successfully resetting following exposure to rebound energy, reduce inflammation, and regain mental health. Also in this episode we discuss the roles of the medical industrial complex and how facts and clinical information that can serve the public is being blocked and deleted.
