Latest / Sid & Friends In The Morning / Victoria Kapish | Parental Rights Activist Speaks on President Trump's Child Vaccine Recommendation Amendment
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Parents can still choose to give their children all of
- 0:03Speaker 1: the vaccinations if they wish. It's up to the parents
- 0:07Speaker 1: who are making recommendations that are stronger, but it's up
- 0:09Speaker 1: to the parents if they wish.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Victoria capish. She is one of the biggest voices when
- 0:15Speaker 2: it comes to parental vites rights, I should say, and freedoms,
- 0:19Speaker 2: whether it's medical freedoms, religious freedoms across the country. And
- 0:23Speaker 2: she's back on sitting friends in the morning. Victoria, good morning, Hawaii.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Heyjake, good morning, Glad to be here.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Great to have you back. Let's talk about what President
- 0:33Speaker 2: Trump did this week. Is new recommendations that came from
- 0:38Speaker 2: the White House, and I loved it. My guess is
- 0:40Speaker 2: you probably liked it. But I'm about to ride out.
- 0:42Speaker 2: I don't know, but either way, he is getting a
- 0:46Speaker 2: pretty lofty amount of pushback. What are your thoughts on
- 0:49Speaker 2: what President Trump told us a few days ago?
- 0:54Speaker 3: Right, well, yeah, it certainly was a step in the
- 0:57Speaker 3: right direction, and not surprisingly, there's been a ton of
- 1:00Speaker 3: criticism and pushback since the announcement. On Monday, they announced
- 1:06Speaker 3: a list of new childhood vaccine recommendations, and I've been
- 1:10Speaker 3: looking at these new standards individually and trying to understand
- 1:14Speaker 3: what exactly the problem is here, first of all, even
- 1:18Speaker 3: though again it is certainly a step in the right directions,
- 1:22Speaker 3: the EO may be more of a symbol of the
- 1:25Speaker 3: administration's commitment to health freedom as opposed to a tangible
- 1:30Speaker 3: changes to vaccine policy in the United States or what
- 1:34Speaker 3: somebody might actually see in the doctor's office. It is
- 1:37Speaker 3: each state's government that decides its own public or private
- 1:41Speaker 3: school requirements regarding vaccines. Those rules come from the states,
- 1:47Speaker 3: not usually from the President's desk. But it was announced
- 1:51Speaker 3: that it is the official position of HHS that the
- 1:55Speaker 3: amount of universal recommendations was being reduced from eighteen vaccines
- 1:59Speaker 3: to eleven, which is aligned with some of our high
- 2:02Speaker 3: incompere nations. You know, why do we give so many
- 2:06Speaker 3: more shots than other countries? And if we're giving so
- 2:10Speaker 3: many more vaccines, we should have super healthy kids, right,
- 2:15Speaker 3: But no, it's actually the opposite. Our kids are sicker
- 2:18Speaker 3: than ever and sicker than kids in other countries. And
- 2:22Speaker 3: speaking of I wanted to mention the statement put out
- 2:26Speaker 3: by the American Academy of Pediatrics that this EO is
- 2:31Speaker 3: dangerous and that our federal leaders are not ensuring that
- 2:36Speaker 3: every family can access life saving vaccines for measles, flow,
- 2:40Speaker 3: et cetera. So you know, taking this statement, if we
- 2:44Speaker 3: look at the standards from the White House themselves, they
- 2:47Speaker 3: call for stronger safety monitoring, They call for alternatives to aluminum,
- 2:54Speaker 3: more widely spread injections, separating MMR vaccines, and support for
- 3:01Speaker 3: parental choice and for medical religious exemption. So I failed
- 3:05Speaker 3: to see where the actual danger is and to quote
- 3:10Speaker 3: directly from the order, childhood vaccine recommendations should be aligned
- 3:15Speaker 3: with best practices from peer developed countries while preserving access
- 3:19Speaker 3: to vaccines currently available to Americans. So access is not
- 3:23Speaker 3: being removed in any way, and in fact, instead of
- 3:27Speaker 3: worrying so much about the new recommendation, maybe the Academy
- 3:32Speaker 3: should look at some of its own practices, like taking
- 3:35Speaker 3: large donations from its corporate partners like Pfizer, Merk and Maderna.
- 3:42Speaker 3: It also has a full time federal lobbying team. So
- 3:45Speaker 3: although it calls itself a neutral group, the American Academy
- 3:50Speaker 3: of Pediatrics is in fact being paid by the companies
- 3:54Speaker 3: that profit from the seventy two dose schedule.
- 3:57Speaker 2: No shock victoria CAPI ish right here, I mentioned the
- 4:00Speaker 2: MMR and President Trump said, Hey, why are we pumping
- 4:04Speaker 2: all these chemicals into these kids getting three shots at once?
- 4:08Speaker 2: Why can't we space them out?
- 4:10Speaker 3: Now?
- 4:11Speaker 2: I know Victoria because I've started to follow you now
- 4:14Speaker 2: that you know you're friendly with Bobby Kennedy and US
- 4:18Speaker 2: and all these people and others, including series but on
- 4:21Speaker 2: this show as well. You know all these people. You're
- 4:23Speaker 2: all over this stuff. And I know that over the
- 4:25Speaker 2: years you've actually met doctor Wakefield. Now correct me if
- 4:29Speaker 2: I'm wrong what the President said this week, doctor Wakefield
- 4:33Speaker 2: said over thirty years ago, and they basically destroyed this
- 4:36Speaker 2: guy's life, isn't that right?
- 4:40Speaker 3: Yes, well, you mentioned a lot of you know, my
- 4:42Speaker 3: heroes there, and I've had the privilege to meet some
- 4:45Speaker 3: of these folks, the people who do a lot more
- 4:48Speaker 3: than me. But yeah, one of the changes mentioned on
- 4:52Speaker 3: Monday is that the MMR vaccine should start to be
- 4:55Speaker 3: separated into its three different doses measles Mom's Rebella, to
- 5:00Speaker 3: be given at different times. I don't know how or
- 5:03Speaker 3: when this swow begins to be rolled out, but this
- 5:06Speaker 3: is actually huge and here's why. About thirty years ago,
- 5:10Speaker 3: a gastro entrologist in the UK named doctor Andy Wakefield,
- 5:13Speaker 3: like you mentioned, was conducting research and he was given
- 5:17Speaker 3: a group of children who had regressed into autism and
- 5:21Speaker 3: also were presenting with severe gastro intestinal distress. And many
- 5:27Speaker 3: of the parents in this group told doctor Wakefield, you know,
- 5:30Speaker 3: my child was developmentally normal and regressed into autism after
- 5:35Speaker 3: receiving their MMR vaccination. And you know, doctor Wakefield knew
- 5:40Speaker 3: nothing about autism. He was not in the business of
- 5:43Speaker 3: proving anything about autism. He was a gastro entrologist. But
- 5:47Speaker 3: he took the concerns of these parents seriously, and he
- 5:52Speaker 3: began to look at all of the studies that had
- 5:54Speaker 3: been done pre licensure on single measles vaccine measles and
- 6:00Speaker 3: rebella together, and then measles, mumps and rebella together, and
- 6:04Speaker 3: he discovered that there was there was nothing. There was
- 6:07Speaker 3: no study, No study had been done to compare the
- 6:10Speaker 3: safety of the single vaccine to the combined MMR vaccine.
- 6:15Speaker 3: So he went to the Department of Health and he said,
- 6:19Speaker 3: where are these studies? And what he was told was
- 6:22Speaker 3: there was no reason to assume that there would be
- 6:25Speaker 3: any difference in safety. In other words, they didn't exist
- 6:28Speaker 3: there were no studies. Now at the time, single measles
- 6:33Speaker 3: vaccine was still available in the UK, and doctor Wakefield
- 6:37Speaker 3: published a two hundred and fifty page paper and he
- 6:40Speaker 3: said basically, until these studies are properly done, parents should
- 6:44Speaker 3: opt for the single dose measles versus the combined MMR.
- 6:49Speaker 3: And what followed was the single dose option was completely
- 6:53Speaker 3: removed from the market and doctor Wakefield was relentlessly attacked,
- 6:59Speaker 3: vilified labels an anti vaccine maniac, and had his medical
- 7:05Speaker 3: license revoke. And he had gone to the head of
- 7:08Speaker 3: the Health Security Agency, which is the UK's CDC basically
- 7:14Speaker 3: and said why aren't we recommending a single dose and
- 7:18Speaker 3: he was told by the director because it would ruin
- 7:21Speaker 3: the pharmaceutical company's program. Now, the combined vaccine was created
- 7:27Speaker 3: because years ago Murk had developed a mumps vaccine which
- 7:32Speaker 3: they spent a lot of money on, but they couldn't
- 7:33Speaker 3: get it added to the schedule because mumps wasn't really
- 7:37Speaker 3: a big enough problem on its own. But they were
- 7:40Speaker 3: able to combine it with the measles and rebella vaccine
- 7:43Speaker 3: to create MMR. So that's one of the main goals
- 7:47Speaker 3: of a pharmaceutical company is to get their product added
- 7:50Speaker 3: to the childhood schedule, which is up to seventy two
- 7:53Speaker 3: vaccines total and or seventy two doses, I should say,
- 7:57Speaker 3: and when someone messes with their plan, they don't like that,
- 8:01Speaker 3: as we saw with doctor Wakefield.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Wow, that is unbelievable what this poor guy went through
- 8:07Speaker 2: in three decades later, President Trump said this week we
- 8:10Speaker 2: should do exactly that. And I know you talked to
- 8:13Speaker 2: a lot of parents again, they're in New Jersey, and
- 8:16Speaker 2: you have become one of the real leaders. Congratulations in
- 8:19Speaker 2: these efforts to get more parents involved and allowing have
- 8:23Speaker 2: the federal government, of course, giving the parents the choice
- 8:27Speaker 2: to make these decisions. So you talk to these parents,
- 8:30Speaker 2: and you're seeing true stories from parents almost every day,
- 8:33Speaker 2: right that speak to some of these issues with these vaccines.
- 8:38Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, imagine watching your child begin to change
- 8:43Speaker 3: and regress almost overnight, and being told you don't know
- 8:46Speaker 3: what you're talking about, or that you don't know your
- 8:48Speaker 3: own kit. You know, just recently, I've gotten messages from
- 8:52Speaker 3: parents describing what happened to their child soon after they
- 8:55Speaker 3: received the combined MMR vaccine, and some of what they
- 8:58Speaker 3: told me, you know, lost strength in his legs and
- 9:01Speaker 3: then lost his understanding. My child stopped looking at me
- 9:05Speaker 3: in the eye. One hundred and six degree fever and hospitalization,
- 9:09Speaker 3: severe sensory meltdowns, rolling around on the carpet at school, seizures.
- 9:14Speaker 3: Seizures were very common. One mom simply said, my son
- 9:18Speaker 3: disappeared severe gastro intestinal issues with zero good bacteria in
- 9:26Speaker 3: this child's got after testing. You know, I can't imagine
- 9:29Speaker 3: being one of these parents and having to hear over
- 9:32Speaker 3: and over the regurgitation of the media's propaganda safe and effective,
- 9:36Speaker 3: safe and effect that, like Bobby Kennedy said, they're parents,
- 9:39Speaker 3: they're not real journalists or reporters. So when we hear
- 9:42Speaker 3: the term anti vaxer, which was a term created by
- 9:46Speaker 3: the pharmaceutical industry itself, were really oftentimes talking about X vaxers.
- 9:51Speaker 3: Parents who listened to their pediatrician, complied with the schedule,
- 9:56Speaker 3: noticed the change, the abrupt changes in their kids, and
- 9:59Speaker 3: were told either it was a normal reaction or we
- 10:03Speaker 3: don't know what happened, but it definitely wasn't the vaccine.
- 10:06Speaker 3: And to tell parents that they're wrong or that they
- 10:11Speaker 3: just fell victim to the crazy anti vaccine propaganda, which
- 10:16Speaker 3: is just insulting to say the least, especially considering any
- 10:19Speaker 3: remotely dissenting opinion regarding vaccines has over the years been
- 10:24Speaker 3: completely censored, and even I was kicked off with Twitter
- 10:28Speaker 3: and Instagram at one point, people had their channels taken down.
- 10:31Speaker 3: Information has been scrubbed out of existence. So to suggest
- 10:35Speaker 3: the parents of vaccine injured kids were just inunvated with
- 10:39Speaker 3: anti vaccine propaganda and it's simply nonsense. Nobody wants to
- 10:44Speaker 3: think that they did something or made a choice that
- 10:48Speaker 3: hurt their kid. You know, that's a hard thing to accept,
- 10:50Speaker 3: not a first choice concept. But when we really start
- 10:55Speaker 3: to listen to people. You know, someone was talking to
- 10:58Speaker 3: me the other day, someone who didn't even know my
- 11:00Speaker 3: stance on this issue, and she said, kind of in
- 11:03Speaker 3: you know, a hush tone, someone she knew had passed
- 11:06Speaker 3: away confirmed from a reaction to the flu vaccine. And
- 11:10Speaker 3: I said, oh wow. You know, I wonder why you
- 11:13Speaker 3: never hear these things on the news. And a big
- 11:16Speaker 3: reason for that is the pharmaceutical industry controls, on some
- 11:20Speaker 3: level roughly seventy percent of what we hear and see
- 11:23Speaker 3: on mainstream media. And just look at the commercials that
- 11:26Speaker 3: run during you know, the main broadcast, and that's one
- 11:29Speaker 3: of the reasons why independent journalism is so important. You know,
- 11:34Speaker 3: I'd rather get my information from someone who is not
- 11:37Speaker 3: beholden two corporate sponsored like a pharmaceutical company.
- 11:40Speaker 2: Can't argue that. I really can't argue that it was
- 11:43Speaker 2: nice to see doctor Fauci take a fall a couple
- 11:45Speaker 2: of weeks ago too. He's part of the big cover
- 11:47Speaker 2: up and live when it came to COVID, which, of
- 11:49Speaker 2: course I know you spent a lot of time working
- 11:51Speaker 2: on as well. I know you love doctor Miomie Wolf
- 11:54Speaker 2: was in these studios just a couple of weeks ago.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Last one. Let me go back to Victoria on the
- 11:58Speaker 2: way out. In nineteen eighty six, a bill under the
- 12:01Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan administration that may be changed in the not
- 12:05Speaker 2: so distant future. Let's talk about that.
- 12:09Speaker 3: Yes, In nineteen eighty six, Congress passed the National Childhood
- 12:14Speaker 3: Vaccine Injury Act, which gave vaccine manufacturers blanket immunity from
- 12:20Speaker 3: any liability for injury resulting from childhood vaccines. It's the
- 12:25Speaker 3: only product that exists with such a protection. So there
- 12:29Speaker 3: really is no financial incentive for pharmaceutical companies to make
- 12:33Speaker 3: their products safer. What resulted as the alternative was something
- 12:39Speaker 3: called the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, which to date has
- 12:43Speaker 3: paid out over five and a half billion dollars to
- 12:46Speaker 3: people with vaccine injury. And this is a taxpayer funded
- 12:50Speaker 3: program whereby an excise tax is collected on each vaccine
- 12:55Speaker 3: and those taxes are put into a fund for this use. Now,
- 13:00Speaker 3: a new bill has been drafted earlier this year by
- 13:03Speaker 3: Senators Rampaul and Mike Lee, which would end the liability
- 13:06Speaker 3: shields that was given in nineteen eighty six. It's S
- 13:10Speaker 3: three eight five three, or the End the Vaccine Carve
- 13:14Speaker 3: Out Act. Such an important piece of legislation. I'm excited
- 13:18Speaker 3: to see what happens. And you know, the last thing
- 13:21Speaker 3: that I'll say is, I saw an X the other
- 13:23Speaker 3: day Senator Cassidy post about how long this EO is
- 13:28Speaker 3: and that vaccines are overwhelmingly safe and effective. And he's
- 13:33Speaker 3: a doctor. So I'm curious to see if you'll be
- 13:37Speaker 3: able to get behind this bill and support repealing that
- 13:42Speaker 3: blanket protection, because if vaccines are overwhelmingly safe and effective,
- 13:47Speaker 3: they don't need immunity.
- 13:49Speaker 2: Got to tell you, I've gone the other way. I'm
- 13:51Speaker 2: with I'm with you these days, I really am. And
- 13:53Speaker 2: Bill Cassidy's on its way out in Louisiana. Victoria cape
- 13:57Speaker 2: and Shot it's an amazing job. The wealth of information
- 14:00Speaker 2: you bring to this show on this topic is really
- 14:03Speaker 2: very valuable. I mean it. You're terrific, You're great, You're
- 14:05Speaker 2: will you are Thank you for hopping on this morning.
- 14:08Speaker 2: We'll do it again very soon. Keep up the great work, Victoria.
- 14:10Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Bless you. Victoria cape Bish. Right there, that's a very
- 14:16Speaker 2: important segment. And I hope that all the parents out
- 14:18Speaker 2: there today took a good listen because I didn't know
- 14:21Speaker 2: much about all this. I really didn't, and I wasn't
- 14:24Speaker 2: even all that interested, unfortunately, But now I'm knee deep.
- 14:29Speaker 2: We've had Bobby Kennedy on the show. We've had doctor
- 14:32Speaker 2: Oz on the show many times. We had Brian Christine
- 14:35Speaker 2: on the show just last week. We've had Aaron Siri
- 14:39Speaker 2: on the show, Mary Holland on the show, Victoria Capeish
- 14:43Speaker 2: on the show. So we are now into this and
- 14:48Speaker 2: it's a very important topic and so important that President
- 14:52Speaker 2: Trump decided to make some changes just this week.
