Vaccine Controversy: Black and White Chalk Talk

By Rebecca Ferguson

Twenty-seven minutes.

The slice of time remaining between school drop off and a new therapist interview.

Still un-showered, pulling the car into the garage, a million things reeled through my mind.  But they’d have to wait.  And certainly no Facebook time this morning.

Except then it happened. The radio.  The song.  The Fray.  And everything else faded away.



“Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God, he hears you”

There, between the lines, was my answer.  So I sat in the garage – a curiously common birthplace of grassroots ideas – ignoring the passing minutes.

…..

I’ve devoted most of my free time, and some not-so-free time to blogging about my daughter’s biomedical recovery from vaccine-induced ‘autism.’  Sometimes, I steal a few extra moments to write about prevention.

When I do address vaccines, I try to put myself in my own shoes.  The shoes I was wearing in 2006 – when our daughter was injured and we listened to her pediatrician for far too long - and I ask, “What would it have taken to reach ME?”

What might a friend have sent me that would’ve saved our family’s life as we knew it?

…..

To that end, I recently made a half-dozen chalkboard images.  Reducing vaccine controversy to simple black and white messages captured people’s attention.

But I knew there needed to be more.  And as a newly appointed board member at VaxTruth.org, the topic weighed heavily on my mind. How can we expand beyond the “choir?”  How can we reach new parents?

Parents who have no idea vaccines can cause harm.  Parents who think the issue died with the retraction of Dr. Wakefield’s study.  Parents who simply refuse to listen to anyone but their pediatrician.

…..

“As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you begin to wonder why you came”

So there it was. The answer.  The mainstream song.  The simplified message.  All of it.

22 minutes to go.

By the end of my shower, the video I would make played in my head.

Today, it’s here. But not just for you. You already know everything it says and more. It’s for your mainstream friends.

The ones who have no idea their children’s autoimmune or neurologic disorders may very well have been caused by vaccines.

The ones who you have no idea how to reach.

The ones you most want to tell, “Sit down. We need to talk...”

In addition to the video, www.chalkboardcampaign.com features a research section to help parents begin their own vaccine research.

And as always, www.VaxTruth.org is a comprehensive resource, educating readers of the broad-reaching issues vaccines present for our Nation’s children AND adults.

Rebecca Ferguson is the mother to a six-year old recovering from autism.  She personalizes their healing journey as she blogs about supplements, treatments and life as recovery unfolds at www.regardingcaroline.com

In addition to the chalkboard video, she's released two videos chronicling Caroline's story and also recently published an e-book about her own remarkable journey to recover a child and change the world, one stone at a time.  You can read “Breaking Through” for free HERE.

Brilliant video.
Here it is (link) with Norwegian subtitles. It's useful too for anyone who wants to learn some Norwegian! (The Danish and Swedish languages are similar).

This video is inspired!

It turns something ugly into something beautiful.

The music acts as the carrier wave for the information.

As a parent whose son was vaccine injured, I thank you!

This is really powerful.

Posted on my Facebook.

Love & respect for saying it how it is.

Truth is stronger than lies.

[Mary Cavanaugh]

Beautifully done. Moms need to always question anything medically that is done to her child. Be prepared to be in control and stay in control. Thanks Rebecca. "Autism" is so much more than behavior..........

[AussieMum]

Absolutely Beautiful!

Outstanding video.

Most people don't want to know "where did they go wrong." It takes brave people like you to see vaccines for what they truly are. It takes many more brave people to prevent vaccine damage. Parents need to feel like it is normal to not vaccinate. You help present very valid reasons for skipping vaccines. We need to reach out and ask more parents to "join our club." The club where people walk around un-vaccinated and they actually live healthy and happy lives!

So well done! Absolutely profound!! Your hard work is so very much appreciated!!

Lets hope people start to listen. I've posted to Facebook, now I just have to wait for the usual arguments from the same people. I like what this video says that, the only motive for us is the kids, there is no benefit to us/parents by sharing the truth, unlike the vaccine companies who make squillions. I pray everytime I post something like this people might start to listen

[Barry]

I couldn't agree more... this is absolutely brilliant!

I'm sure the medical establishment has become aware of this video by now, and its making sociopaths like Paul Offit as scared as hell.

They God damned well should be scared, because this video will awaken a lot of parents to a very ugly reality. When the public catches on to what's been done to their children, they will be mad as hell. And people like Paul Offit will finally be sitting in the cross hairs

Superb we need all the input we can have ..good one

Many Thanks

Thank you to EVERYONE who has watched, commented, liked, and shared this video. It's extremely gratifying that people are enjoying and passing along. The thought of preventing potential harm to our children and our children's children is well, extremely sacred to so many of us. Together, we are all making a REAL difference.

I already quoted this once today, but it deserves repeating here: "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."

~Schopenhauer, as quoted by Kerri Rivera in her recent autism one presentaton.

The day will come, when we wonder why a video like this was even necessary. I have no doubt. Until then, the task of education falls squarely on our shoulders. Luckily this community is both strong and resiliant!

[Rebecca Claire]

The most brilliant piece of vaccine-prevention video I have ever seen!

[Eben Plettner]

Very moving. just amazing. Best explanation to a new audience I have seen yet. Get this on TV and you would start a real movement.

Did you know research and numbers from the FDA and EPA prove all you have said! (Their reports linked at bottom) Their recent (2010 & 2011) research has shown that human fetal DNA contamination in a few vaccines (guess which ones) can cause autism, ADHD, autoimunity, etc, etc. The effect is worse than all the other contaminations combined, including the metals. The FDA DEMONSTATED the dangers of this and still condones the use. The use of Human fetal DNA also correlates perfectly with the rise of autism. Every time a vaccine using human fetal stem cells is introduced, in any state, in any country. The rate of autism increases greatly. This lines up perfectly with the autism numbers from the EPA, British government and many other governments. Government reports, government numbers, analysis from a pharmaceutical company, how you claim bias on that.

Fantastic! Shared ! May this go--um--VIRAL!

[Megan]

Thank-you so much for such a great video!

[Mary]

I put this one my FACEBOOK because of how many people I know who have family members who are pregnant. My niece lost her 13 month old son right after his MMR, varivax and polio vaccines. She told me she knew it wasn't SIDS, but vaccine injury was a possibility in her mind.

Very powerful.

[Michelle]

AMAZING... THANK YOU.

[Suzanne]

Pure utter genius in its simplicity.

[Marcella Piper-Terry]

Rebecca: I am in awe of your talent, intellect, and perserverance. You have managed to take what for most would be an extremely complex issue and you have reduced the information to its core... in a format that is easy to follow, to the point, and very powerful.
Kudos!
And THANK-YOU!

[Benedetta]

The images were great!
The questions and answers on a blackboard, the information with a See/saw and missing puzzle piecies --- brillant!

And then that song with all this

"To save a life" was the theme that kept beating through.

Perfect!
Absolutely perfect!

[Jill]

Love this. Just sent this to a mom of a newly diagnosed child. She is so overwhelmed right now, but I thought this would make her feel less alone. Thank you.

[Shawn Siegel]

Stemming from the education compelled by the protective instinct, so poignantly communicated in the video by the photo of the mother holding her child, Rebecca Ferguson has given us a simple, captivating means of educating others. Kudos.

[MelissaD]

Rebecca - that is very powerful and simple for those outside our world. Thank you for taking the time to put it together. Not sure how difficult it would be to fix, but I believe there is a typo at 4:09 - check "Financially" - otherwise this video is perfect.
