Send us a textA shocking medical mystery is unfolding in embalming rooms across the world, as funeral professionals report strange white fibrous clots never seen before 2021. Retired Air Force Major Tom Havilind shares his groundbreaking research documenting this disturbing phenomenon through three years of worldwide surveys.Havilind's journey began when embalmers reported finding long, rubbery, white clots in bodies they processed—clots that appeared only after COVID vaccine rollout. What started as anecdotal reports has now been systematically documented, with over 60% of surveyed embalmers confirming these findings. Most alarming? These unusual clots appear in 20-30% of corpses.But this isn't just about the dead. Vascular surgeons and cardiologists are now quietly confirming they're seeing identical clots in living patients. One catheterization lab specialist reported removing these unusual clots from patients weekly—99% of whom had received COVID vaccines. When these medical professionals speak about vaccine connections, many report being silenced or threatened with job loss.The medical implications are profound. These abnormal clots don't respond to traditional clot-busting drugs. They appear to form when spike protein bonds with the body's natural fibrinogen, creating misfolded structures resistant to normal breakdown processes. Beyond the white fibrous clots, embalmers report increased microclotting and changes in traditional clotting patterns.Despite submitting his findings to health authorities after each survey, Haviland reports receiving no response from the CDC, FDA, NIH or HHS. This wall of silence extends throughout the medical establishment, with many professionals privately acknowledging the problem while publicly remaining quiet.As health officials prepare recommendations for future COVID vaccines, this evidence demands attention. When medical professionals fear speaking truth more than they fear patient harm, we've entered dangerous territory. The question remains: how many more patients must suffer before authorities acknowledge what embalmers and surgeons are seeing with their own eyes?Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

Send us a textHave you ever caught yourself making excuses instead of simply admitting when you're wrong? Dr. Robert Jackson unpacks this universal human tendency by examining Genesis 3:12-13, where we witness humanity's first blame-shifting moment.Drawing from his medical practice, Dr. Jackson shares revealing parallels between Adam and Eve's garden excuses and our modern-day justifications. Patients who fail to lose weight blame allergies and weather rather than admit non-compliance. Those who skip medication create elaborate stories instead of acknowledging their choices. As Dr. Jackson pointedly observes, "An excuse is the thin skin of a lie"—a truth that cuts straight to our hearts.The consequences of blame-shifting extend far beyond mere dishonesty. Through Psalm 32, we discover the profound physical and emotional toll of unconfessed sin: wasted strength, constant groaning, and vitality drained "as with the fever heat of summer." Conversely, honest confession brings extraordinary relief. The path forward is beautifully clear yet challenging: name your sins specifically without excuse, genuinely repent by turning from old patterns, and receive Jesus as your only Savior. Just as God provided a sacrificial covering in Eden, pointing to Christ's ultimate sacrifice, we find our hope in "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world."Ready to move from excuse-making to honest confession? This episode offers practical wisdom for experiencing the freedom that comes when we stop shifting blame and start embracing truth.

With remarkable clarity, she reveals how COVID became the catalyst that exposed government overreach into family decision-making across America."During COVID, people started asking questions," Jones explains. "All the crazy made sense because now everybody sees it. It's not hidden in the dark anymore." This awakening led to the formation of Moms for Liberty, which has exploded to nearly 300 chapters nationwide with approximately 100,000 members since its 2021 founding.Jones shares alarming discoveries of explicit material in elementary schools, including biological picture books with inappropriate imagery accessible to seven-year-olds and books detailing suicide methods. "We do not loan our children to the schools," she assertively states. "We expect them to be taught reading, writing, arithmetic, history and come home for the morals and values."The digital landscape presents perhaps the greatest modern threat to children. As a grandmother raising her eight-year-old granddaughter, Jones speaks passionately about the dangers lurking online that many parents remain completely unaware of. Her organization is tackling this head-on with an upcoming Technology Safety conference in Columbia on August 16th.Legislative victories are accumulating through Moms for Liberty's persistent advocacy – from school choice initiatives to healthier school lunches free from harmful dyes. Looking ahead, they're fighting for fundamental parental rights legislation, particularly addressing the shocking reality that in South Carolina, parents can be legally barred from accessing their 14-year-old's medical records if the child objects.Ready to protect your parental authority?

Send us a textHave you ever wondered how a single choice can forever alter your relationship with God? Genesis 3:11 captures the pivotal moment when Adam and Eve first experienced the voice of a guilty conscience, transforming their innocent communion with God into fear and separation.Dr. Robert Jackson (Dr. Papa) takes us deep into the garden of Eden, exploring that jarring transition when our first parents moved from walking freely with their Creator to hiding among the trees. What exactly happens in the human heart when guilt first awakens? The emergence of this "third voice"—not God's, not Satan's, but the internal voice of conscience—fundamentally changed humanity's relationship with the divine.This devotional journey doesn't just recount ancient history; it speaks directly to our modern struggle with spiritual sensitivity. Dr. Papa shares a haunting patient story of a man who listened to gospel messages daily for over 40 years yet reached a point where he could no longer respond to Christ, even when he desperately wanted to. "Holy Spirit doesn't shout, he only whispers," Dr. Papa reminds us, highlighting the danger of repeatedly ignoring those gentle promptings until our conscience becomes "seared as with a hot iron."Whether you're battling small compromises that threaten to dull your spiritual senses or wondering if you've wandered too far to return, this message offers both warning and hope. The same conscience that convicts can lead us back to restoration—but only if we respond while His voice can still be heard.

Send us a textCarbon capture pipelines represent one of the most significant threats to American property rights and rural communities that few people know about. In this eye-opening conversation with Rebecca Terrell, senior editor for the New American Magazine, we dive deep into the disturbing reality behind the government's plan to install 96,000 miles of carbon dioxide pipelines across America.What begins as a discussion about a documentary quickly reveals a multi-layered assault on private property, local sovereignty, and basic safety. When a carbon capture pipeline ruptured in Satarsha, Mississippi in 2020, it created an invisible, odorless cloud of carbon dioxide that displaced oxygen, causing people to collapse and rendering emergency vehicles inoperable. This wasn't an anomaly – it's the inherent danger of these pipelines that transport CO2 under extreme pressure (2200 PSI).Behind the environmental facade lies a simple motivation: billions in government subsidies. The Biden administration increased payouts to $85 per ton of captured carbon, creating an irresistible financial incentive for companies like Summit Carbon Solutions to seize farmland through eminent domain. Even more shocking is the scientific reality that carbon capture actually increases overall emissions, requiring 1.5-2 times more energy than it saves – a fact acknowledged even by prominent climate activists.The conversation takes a revealing turn when Terrell connects these pipelines to UN Agenda 2030 and explains how international interests have been quietly implementing control through seemingly benign "comprehensive planning" and "smart growth" initiatives in virtually every county across America. What appears local is actually global.Yet amid this troubling landscape, there's genuine hope. Farmers in the Midwest have organized, run for office, and successfully passed legislation protecting their property rights. "This is their 1776 moment," Terrell explains, as ordinary Americans discover what it truly means to stand together against powerful interests.Watch "Unearthing the CO2 Pipeline" for free until May 21st at standyourground.watch or purchase the DVD at jbs.org.

Send us a textWhat happens when we stand exposed before a holy God? Adam's terrified response in Genesis 3:10 reveals a universal human condition - the shame and fear that comes from recognizing our spiritual nakedness.Drawing from his unique perspective as both physician and theologian, Dr. Robert Jackson masterfully weaves together biblical wisdom with fascinating medical case studies. Through three distinct patients - a woman with dementia who feels no shame in her nakedness, a man with OCD who cannot control his compulsive exposure, and a dancer whose conscience has been dulled by years of deliberate choices - we gain profound insights into the nature of shame, conscience, and our relationship with God.At its heart, this episode tackles the uncomfortable truth that we cannot hide from God any more than Adam could behind fig leaves and garden trees. The fear Adam experienced wasn't simply embarrassment about physical nakedness, but the terrifying realization of standing corrupted before perfect righteousness. As Dr. Jackson powerfully states, "Sinners, in their shame, always fear the presence and voice of holy God."Yet this message offers hope beyond conviction. While our own righteousness amounts to nothing but "filthy rags," Christ provides the perfect covering we desperately need. The God who came looking for Adam like "a loving parent seeking a wayward child" still seeks us today. Will our shame drive us toward confession and repentance, or hiding and hardening our hearts? The invitation to exchange our inadequate fig leaves for Christ's perfect righteousness awaits your response.Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

Send us a textJoe Wolverton takes us on a remarkable journey through the forgotten intellectual foundations of America's founding in this compelling conversation about his book "The Founder's Recipe." As a constitutional attorney and scholar for the John Birch Society, Wolverton shares the fascinating personal story that led to his discovery of 37 critical thinkers who profoundly shaped the minds of Jefferson, Madison, Washington, and their contemporaries.The genius of Wolverton's approach lies in his metaphor: just as his grandmother's banana pudding required specific ingredients to achieve its remarkable flavor, the founding generation's exceptional character and courage emerged from a specific intellectual diet now largely abandoned. When we wonder why we don't see leaders of similar caliber today, Wolverton suggests we've been "substituting salt for sugar in our cookie recipe" - fundamentally altering the educational foundation that once produced such remarkable individuals.What makes this conversation truly eye-opening are the specific examples Wolverton provides. Thomas Jefferson reading Roman history in Latin at age nine. A fourteen-year-old Jefferson writing in his diary that it was time to "put away childish things" and prepare for important work he felt God had for him. These anecdotes stand in stark contrast to our current educational outcomes and cultural expectations. Most surprising to many listeners will be Wolverton's revelation that the Apostle Paul was the figure most frequently quoted by the founding fathers - underscoring how deeply biblical thinking informed their understanding of liberty.The Founder's Recipe isn't just historical recovery - it's a practical path forward. Wolverton describes teaching these materials to students who became so passionate they voluntarily continued classes through summer break. His conviction is simple yet profound: "If we read what they read, then we're liable to do what they did - throw off the chains of tyranny and protect our liberty for posterity."Join Wolverton's free webinar on May 15th at 8:00 PM Eastern to learn more about these forgotten influences, and consider reading The Founder's Recipe to recover the intellectual foundation that might just help us reclaim the revolutionary spirit of liberty our founders intended.Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

Send us a textHave you ever found yourself hiding from God? That's exactly what we explore in this intimate devotional reflection on Genesis 3:8, where Adam and Eve hide among the garden trees after their disobedience.Dr. Robert Jackson (affectionately known as "Dr. Papa") takes us on a heartfelt journey through the garden of Eden, examining that pivotal moment when the sweet fellowship between Creator and created was fractured by sin. Through beautiful reflections on the hymn "I Come to the Garden Alone" and thoughtful biblical exposition, we discover how the voice of God—once a source of delight—became something Adam and Eve feared.This pattern of hiding continues today. Dr. Papa shares touching observations from his medical practice, noting how some patients react when offered a Bible—"as if handed a snake or hot coals." Many of us hide from God's presence in our work, hobbies, entertainment, and daily activities, foolishly believing we can escape His all-seeing gaze.Yet hope remains in this garden story. As Dr. Papa explains, God continues calling us throughout our lives—in youth, marriage, parenthood, illness, success, and aging. Each call represents an opportunity to step out from hiding and experience what he beautifully terms "the great exchange," where Jesus takes our sin and offers His perfect righteousness.The question that echoes from Eden to our hearts today remains: "Where are you in relation to God?" Will you continue hiding, or will you answer His persistent call?

Send us a textWhat happens when a respected pediatrician with nearly five decades of experience begins to question everything he was taught about vaccines? Dr. Bose Ravenel joins Dr. Robert Jackson to share a professional journey that upends conventional wisdom about childhood immunizations.After practicing traditional pediatrics for 31 years and academic medicine for 11 more, Dr. Ravenel's final six years in integrative medicine opened his eyes to patterns he could no longer ignore. He describes treating numerous children with autism whose parents consistently reported regression following vaccination—including one remarkable case where a hospital neurologist explicitly attributed a child's autistic regression to vaccines.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Dr. Ravenel explains how the COVID pandemic response first triggered his skepticism. "Nothing like that had ever happened before in history," he observes about the unprecedented vaccine mandates and public shaming campaigns. This initial suspicion led him to invest thousands of hours researching childhood vaccines, where he discovered disturbing gaps in safety testing.Most striking is the revelation that no vaccine on the childhood schedule has ever been properly tested against an inert placebo, and claims of studies disproving vaccine-autism links examine only a fraction of the potential connections. Dr. Ravenel also discusses compelling research showing a striking temporal correlation between vaccination timing and SIDS deaths.This eye-opening discussion challenges listeners to question why such information remains marginalized in medical discourse. Both physicians express concern that pharmaceutical industry influence prevents honest examination of vaccine risks, while emphasizing their commitment to sharing information parents need for making informed decisions about their children's health.Share this episode with anyone concerned about vaccine safety or interested in understanding why some medical professionals are breaking ranks to question long-held assumptions about childhood immunization programs.Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

Send us a textFig leaves were humanity's first attempt at covering shame—and we've been crafting inadequate coverings ever since. Dr. Robert Jackson (lovingly known as "Dr. Papa") takes us deep into Genesis 3:7, where Adam and Eve's eyes were opened to evil and they immediately experienced the twin burdens of guilt and shame that continue to plague humanity today.The moment sin entered the garden, everything changed. Where once Adam and Eve walked in perfect transparency with God and each other, they now felt exposed, vulnerable, and desperate to hide. Their hasty solution—sewing fig leaves into loin coverings—represents our perpetual but futile attempts to mask our spiritual nakedness through human effort. Dr. Papa points out with gentle wisdom that they covered their reproductive organs rather than their faces, suggesting sin immediately corrupted God's beautiful design for human sexuality and fruitfulness.What makes this devotional especially powerful is how Dr. Papa connects this ancient story to our modern struggles. Guilt and shame still drive people away from God (who alone can forgive), away from loved ones, and into destructive behaviors like addiction, anger, and isolation. Our self-made "fig leaves"—whether they're achievements, religious performance, or carefully crafted public personas—remain as inadequate as those first coverings in Eden. The message resonates with striking clarity: only Jesus, the perfect Lamb of God, can provide the robes of righteousness we desperately need. His invitation remains the same: confess your shame, turn from your old life, and receive His covering grace freely offered to all who will accept it.Ready to exchange your fig leaves for His righteousness?

"The money's not missing," Martin clarifies, likening the situation to writing a check and making a deposit without recording it properly. Two separate audits have confirmed no intentional wrongdoing occurred.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Martin delves into the rarely-used constitutional mechanism being employed to potentially remove an elected official from office. This process has only been attempted once before in South Carolina's 150-year history – also involving a state treasurer. Martin explains the required two-thirds majority vote, the right to defense, and the uncertain path forward as the House of Representatives decides whether to pursue the matter.Beyond the procedural details, Martin offers thoughtful insights into the political dimensions driving the controversy. He suggests personality conflicts and policy disagreements may have fueled the push to remove Loftis, despite the absence of financial impropriety.

Send us a textThe ancient pattern of temptation that led to humanity's fall continues to affect us today. Dr. Papa takes us deep into Genesis 3:6, revealing how Eve's three-part temptation—finding the forbidden fruit appealing to her body, emotions, and mind—perfectly parallels the "lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life" described in 1 John 2:16.When Jesus came as the Second Adam, He faced these identical temptations in the wilderness. While Eve questioned and ultimately rejected God's Word, Jesus defended Himself by quoting Scripture—a powerful model for our own spiritual battles. Dr. Papa shares a thought-provoking anecdote about a plantation worker named Moses who, given an easy job with just one restriction, couldn't resist looking inside a forbidden box. This humbling story reminds us that we're likely no better than Adam when facing temptation.The consequences of Adam's sin are catastrophic—we inherit spiritual death, blindness, and bondage. Romans 5:12 tells us both sin and death entered the world through one man's disobedience. Yet there's hope! Through Christ, the Second Adam, we find the path to redemption. By recognizing our sin, repenting, and receiving Jesus as Savior, we experience the transformative power of His perfect obedience. As the Sunday school children affirm: "What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus."

Send us a textWho really killed Jesus? When Mel Gibson famously answered "I killed Jesus," he sparked controversy, but pointed to a profound truth that transcends simple blame. The crucifixion wasn't merely a historical injustice but the centerpiece of God's redemptive plan.Examining the biblical narrative reveals multiple players in this divine drama. The Jewish religious leaders conspired out of jealousy and fear of losing their position. Judas betrayed his teacher for thirty pieces of silver. Pilate, despite recognizing Jesus' innocence, ordered his execution for political expediency while Roman soldiers carried out the gruesome task. Yet none of these actors fully explains the mystery of Christ's death.The most remarkable revelation is that Jesus voluntarily laid down his life. "No one takes it from me," he declared, "but I lay it down of my own accord." His death wasn't a tragedy or martyrdom but the fulfillment of his mission to "seek and save the lost." Our sin necessitated this sacrifice, but it was ultimately orchestrated by God the Father himself, who "so loved the world that he gave his only Son." The crucifixion, planned "before the creation of the world," demonstrates both God's justice and his extraordinary love.This understanding transforms everything. The Romans, Jewish leaders, and Judas were merely instruments in God's sovereign plan. What appeared as history's greatest injustice became the means of our reconciliation with God. The pressing question isn't who killed Jesus, but how we'll respond to his sacrifice. Will we ignore it, or will it lead us to receive Christ as our Savior and Lord? As you contemplate the cross this Resurrection season, consider what your response will be to this ultimate demonstration of divine love.https://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

Send us a textThe seduction in Eden wasn't just about forbidden fruit—it was about our fundamental trust in God's character. Dr. Papa takes us deep into Genesis 3, reimagining the fateful conversation between Eve and the serpent with fresh insights that challenge our understanding of temptation's mechanics.Through vivid storytelling, we witness Satan's calculated timing—arriving before Adam and Eve could potentially conceive children without sin natures—and his masterful manipulation as he interrupts an intimate moment between the first couple. The serpent's seemingly innocent question opens the door to humanity's greatest tragedy.What exactly went wrong? Dr. Papa identifies Eve's critical mistakes with piercing clarity. First, she engaged with temptation rather than fleeing from it—a pattern we still repeat today. Second, she subtly altered God's word, adding restrictions He never imposed while diluting His generosity. These distortions made God seem harsh and withholding, exactly as Satan intended.But Adam bears the greater responsibility. His sins of passivity and complicity—standing silently by as his wife was deceived, then willingly joining her transgression—spread death to all his descendants. Instead of exercising his God-given authority to protect Eden, he surrendered it without resistance.The good news? Jesus Christ stands as the "second Adam," succeeding where the first failed. Where Adam was passive, Jesus actively laid down His life. Where Adam brought death, Jesus brings eternal life. This powerful contrast reminds us that while we inherit Adam's fallen nature, we can choose Christ's victory.Ready to strengthen your resistance to temptation?

Send us a textSatan's origin story reveals fascinating insights about spiritual warfare that affects us daily. In this episode of Devotions with Dr. Papa, we explore Genesis 3:1 where the crafty serpent first appears in Eden's paradise, dramatically shifting the narrative from one of perfect harmony to dangerous deception.Dr. Papa takes us through a comprehensive examination of when Lucifer was created, how the beautiful "day star" transformed into Satan through pride, and what motivated his rebellion against God. Drawing from passages in Isaiah, Ezekiel, Job, and Psalms, we discover that angels were present from the earliest days of creation, and Lucifer remained perfect until sometime after God declared everything "very good" on the seventh day.What's particularly intriguing is the possibility that Satan's motivation went beyond mere power-seeking. Dr. Papa suggests that jealousy over humanity's unique privileges—being made in God's image and having reproductive abilities—may have fueled Lucifer's rebellion. This perspective adds a profound dimension to understanding why Satan targets humans with such intensity.The serpent's timeless deception technique of questioning "Did God really say...?" remains his primary strategy today. Through a personal anecdote about a wise colleague who prayed daily against deception, Dr. Papa offers a practical three-part prayer we can incorporate into our spiritual disciplines: acknowledging our susceptibility to deception, recognizing Satan's expertise at deceiving, and asking for divine protection. This simple practice could transform our spiritual resilience in a world where deception comes not just from external sources, but from within our own hearts.Ready to strengthen your defenses against the enemy's tactics?

Dr. Robert Jackson takes us deep into Genesis 2:25, unpacking this deceptively simple verse to reveal profound truths about our human condition. Through personal stories about his son Thomas, who has Down Syndrome, Dr. Papa illustrates the difference between childlike innocence and the perfect sinlessness Adam and Eve experienced before the fall.The devotion traces humanity's journey from innocence to shame, exploring why we instinctively hide our wrongdoing from others and even attempt to hide from God Himself.

Send us a textWhat happens when good intentions pave the road to censorship? Researcher Diane Peterson joins Dr. Robert Jackson to expose the hidden dangers lurking within South Carolina's pending hate crime legislation—Senate Bill 247, the Clementa C. Pinckney Hate Crimes Act.From the outset, Peterson challenges assumptions about this seemingly noble bill. While named after a victim of the horrific 2015 Mother Emanuel Church shooting, Peterson reveals that federal hate crime laws already addressed that tragedy. So why the push for state legislation? The answer lies at the intersection of politics, globalism, and the gradual erosion of constitutional freedoms.With remarkable clarity, Peterson breaks down the bill's language, explaining how its vague wording allowing prosecution for crimes motivated "in whole or in part" by bias creates dangerous subjectivity. When prosecutors must determine what someone was thinking during a crime, anything from social media posts to church attendance could become evidence of "hate"—setting the stage for self-censorship and government overreach.Most startling is Peterson's revelation about who's driving this legislation. The South Carolina Chamber of Commerce, acting as the "spearhead" for international corporate interests, pushes these measures to align the state with European ESG standards. This isn't merely theoretical—Peterson documents how similar laws in Europe and Canada have already led to arrests for prayer and criminalization of religious speech.Whether you're concerned about free speech, religious liberty, or the influence of foreign corporations on American governance, this conversation offers essential insights into how seemingly compassionate legislation can threaten foundational freedoms.

Send us a textThe sacred institution of marriage has weathered countless cultural storms throughout human history, yet its divine origins remain steadfast. Dr. Robert Jackson (Dr. Papa) takes us on a profound journey through Genesis 2:23-24, unveiling the moment Adam first beheld Eve—a creature finally suitable for him, made in God's image, with whom he could truly communicate and connect.Drawing from 43 years as a physician, Dr. Papa shares remarkable observations about the human cost of deviating from God's marriage design. "Divorce, adultery and fornication brings heartache, division, anger, unforgiveness, broken families, financial loss," he notes, "and trust me when I say the children are the broken pieces." In contrast, those couples celebrating 40, 50, or more years together demonstrate the beautiful fruits of faithfulness—peace, stability, financial prosperity, and generations of thriving descendants.Most powerfully, Dr. Papa reveals marriage's prophetic dimension as a divine foreshadowing of Christ's relationship with His church. This connection wasn't accidental but intentional—husbands loving sacrificially as Christ loved the church, wives reverencing their husbands as the church honors Christ. The podcast concludes with a heartfelt invitation to spiritual rebirth through Christ, whose blood alone can wash away sin and bring new life. Whether you're seeking to strengthen your marriage or your faith, this episode offers timeless wisdom from creation's blueprint.

From securing a patient's right to try ivermectin to challenging mask mandates that led to citizens being escorted out of businesses by police, Martel's legal expertise became a shield for those caught in the crossfire of evolving pandemic policies."What we really saw during those years is a flip-flop, in that people thought policy was law," explains Martel, revealing how administrative dictates superseded constitutional protections. As a self-described "Holy Spirit-filled attorney," she draws a powerful connection between divine law and American liberties, arguing that both were trampled during what she characterizes as "tyrannical years" of lockdowns and business closures.The conversation takes listeners through multiple lawsuits Martel filed – from protecting workers seeking religious exemptions from vaccine mandates to defending individuals who couldn't physically exercise while masked. Her first-hand accounts provide a troubling window into how enforcement mechanisms evolved, including the repurposing of local "Livability Departments" into mask police and the public health theater that saw vaccines administered in abandoned car dealerships and fast food parking lots.Most disturbing are Martel's allegations about hospital protocols during COVID. She and Dr. Jackson discuss how administrative decisions may have prioritized remdesivir and ventilators over potentially life-saving alternatives, with financial incentives potentially influencing treatment decisions. The Attorney doesn't mince words about accountability, citing South Carolina's reputation as "the most corrupt Republican state" while expressing hope that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s leadership might finally bring transparency to vaccine policies.For those concerned about medical freedom, Martel offers practical advice and encouragement.

Send us a textAre pediatric vaccines as safe and necessary as we've been led to believe? Dr. Robert Jackson challenges conventional wisdom in this eye-opening episode, drawing on his 43 years of medical practice to answer pressing listener questions about childhood immunizations.Drawing back the curtain on vaccine history, Dr. Jackson reveals how measles, mumps, rubella, and other childhood illnesses largely disappeared before vaccines were introduced, thanks to improvements in public sanitation and hygiene. He shares striking statistics about measles - no child deaths in the US for over 20 years and a natural infection mortality risk of just 1 in 105 million, compared to vaccine adverse reaction risks of 1 in 168 children ending up in emergency rooms after their 12-month MMR shot.Most startling is Dr. Jackson's discussion of the MMR-autism connection, citing CDC whistleblower William Thompson who admitted to participating in research fraud by omitting data showing increased autism risk in vaccinated children. "I've heard dozens of mothers tell me their child was developing normally until receiving the MMR vaccine," Dr. Jackson shares, explaining why he advises parents against this particular immunization. He also deconstructs the 2014 Disneyland measles outbreak narrative, revealing that most cases occurred among vaccinated individuals or were caused by the vaccine strain itself.For concerned parents, Dr. Jackson offers practical advice on boosting children's immunity naturally and navigating college or military vaccination requirements through religious exemptions. He recommends resources including Dr. Paul Thomas's book "Vax Facts" and TheHealthyAmerican.com for those seeking exemptions based on First Amendment rights.Want to protect your children while making informed medical decisions?
