When people throw the anti vax word out there thoughtlessly, thinking it’s “just a fad” maybe they should know that most people that have chosen to stop or abstain have been vax injured and that’s why they went digging for the truth.

That’s my story. Sadly my kids are pretty much fully vaccinated. The 2 oldest never ever got a fever, never a reaction, but a completely different story with my youngest.

I’m not an anti-vaxxer, I’m an EX-Vaxxer

The ones making the $$ can lie all they want to and say correlation does not equal causation, but the proof is undeniable.

Never forget that so many gave their lives for our freedoms.

I wouldn’t even buy their organic products

⚠️ Children living near Driscoll’s strawberry 🍓 fields are facing a 38% higher childhood cancer rate than average.

☠️ Researchers identified 13 pesticides linked to childhood cancer being sprayed within 2.5 miles of homes and 98.5% of the leukemia-linked pesticides studied were applied in Watsonville, California, where Driscoll’s main strawberrypppqq my

☠️ 41,000 lbs of pesticides were applied within ONE square mile of an elementary school. These chemicals linger in the air for 72 hours after spraying.

😡 This is unacceptable. No child should have to breathe cancer-linked pesticides just to go to school or play outside.

‼️As the #1 strawberry brand in America, Driscoll’s has the power and responsibility to make the changes necessary to protect public health. It’s time for Driscoll’s to transition to fully organic farming practices and stop exposing communities to toxic chemicals.

🍓Choose organic products. Look for local farms that don’t use agrochemicals. Grow your own berries. These are ways to better avoid agrochemicals.

The U.S. Forest Service isn’t managing forests anymore. It’s running a timber operation and poisoning everything else to do it.

A yearlong investigation by Mother Jones found that the Forest Service and private logging companies are systematically spraying thousands of acres of national forest with glyphosate (Roundup) to kill off native shrubs and wildflowers that compete with commercially valuable trees like Douglas firs and sugar pines.

After wildfires, forests naturally rebound with diverse vegetation and wildlife. What’s replacing that recovery is rows of industrial saplings surrounded by silence. No insects, birds, or flowers. It’s just dead zones.

Glyphosate application in California’s forests has quintupled over the last two decades in one year 266,000 pounds were sprayed a record. The World Health Organization classifies glyphosate as a carcinogen. The Forest Service is using it at industrial scale, on public land, to benefit private timber interests.

This is what “multiple use management” looks like when timber wins every time. Ecological health, wildlife habitat, native plant communities all of it gets written off as competition.
