yes I was of the Vera Schneider and Maria Schrieber generation 1980s..Maria came from a long line of Drs in South America [I forget much]..she opened a vaccine clinic in her 20's..was so proud ..and then saw the problems of children due to Vax...she [being a true healer] then travelled the world warning of vaccines!!!.do any of you remember her?.My son , Julian , born in 1980 had adverse reactions to the infant vaccines ...I researched and stopped the vaccinations ...Julian died of a brain tumour in 2013 aged 32...[I will never know...]. I refused to vaccinate my daughter born in 1982....she had good health and remained unvaccinated even through university ...she chose to get all her vaccines in her 30's and is very vaccine supportive to her own children . She refused communication with me over the covid 19 situation . I remain a covid 19 unvaxxed 70yr old ...life has been hard .....

Oh Julie-Anne - I am so sorry for your loss! And you're right, we will never know but the suspicion will always be there :-(

I don't know about Maria Schrieber but she sounds amazing!

As for your daughter, we can only love our children and wonder how such clever and well-informed parents could have raised kids who won't do their research. <sigh> May all of our kids be protected - it's what I fervently pray every day!

Thanks for writing this article and all the work you have done in the past, as someone who has come to realisations over the last 3 years I really appreciate the work you have done.

I have gone through a lot in the last few years and also arrived at the point you mention in the article,

It is our job to share the information we have about COVID with them in a loving, caring and accepting way. Many will not be ready to hear it. Many may express anger - nobody likes to be wrong.

Thanks Robyn. It just struck me that this is a message that needs to get out there. Nobody else is going to do it for us! We are the ones who will save our families. Glad to have you along for the ride :-) and yes, wicked indeed LOL

Absolutely. People beat around the bush far too much and they need to be told the truth - as far as we know it to be - in no uncertain terms.

Self-responsibility is a HUGE thing. My one wish for the world used to be that if everyone would be 'reasonable' then things might be OK. But you know what? For a while now I've wanted everyone to be 'self-responsible' - because then things WOULD be OK!!!! :-)

People blame-blame-blame all the time. I came from a family of blamers. Used to do it myself ALL the time. An ex-boyfriend pointed this out to me in my mid-20s: "Robyn, you're a blamer!" - and he was right. So I started to try to NOT blame things/others etc and you know what? It really helped me to see things for what they were! Now I'm trying to get my kids to see this problem as well, because they're blamers, too, even though they've grown up in a household where if there's a problem, we always try to sort it out - responsibly. They're old enough to understand this 'blaming' business logically, but I wonder if it's something that's in people's DNA, even? Are we WIRED to blame other things/people, and not look within ourselves? Is it our ego at play? "I couldn't possibly be wrong, it must be you/him/her/that thing/something else/anything else...but me" - or is it generations of poor education, perhaps expecting 'governments' to save us on a daily basis when in fact we need to save ourselves on a daily basis by making and OWNING the right decisions for ourselves...?!
