Vax Facts is a one-stop-shop for all the information parents and guardians need to make an informed choice about childhood vaccinations.

The challenge for most who are wrestling with whether to give a vaccine is a lack of understanding about what information they really need to make an informed decision.

Written by a pediatrician who witnessed the difference over decades in the health outcomes of the vaccinated, partially vaccinated, and unvaccinated children in his practice, Vax Facts will enlighten parents and guardians and provide the information needed for informed consent.

Covering each of the vaccines recommended by the CDC and doctors, from pregnancy through the teen years, this detailed guide breaks down the ingredients, the lack of safety testing, and the side effects and risks of the vaccines.

With the help of simple data tables that compare the rates of death from the diseases for which we have vaccines and the rates of death from the vaccines themselves, parents and guardians can easily decide what's right for their children.

With almost four million births per year in the United States, this useful resource will resonate with all who are pregnant or considering pregnancy, and all parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles who are considering whether vaccination is appropriate for a family member or loved one.

At the end of each chapter, Just a Mom (coauthor DeeDee Hoover) shares personal stories and reflections that allow readers to connect with the information.

This information-packed guide is for all those asking "Should I get my child vaccinated?" who want more than just a yes/no answer. After reading Vax Facts, parents and guardians will be able to decide with confidence whether vaccination is the right choice for their loved one.

About the Author

Currently residing in Beaverton, Oregon, Paul Thomas MD was born in Portland, Oregon, grew up in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and attended Dartmouth Medical School where he graduated in 1985. Paul was a board-certified pediatrician for thirty years and practiced pediatric medicine for thirty-five years in the Portland, Oregon, area. After working in a group pediatric practice from 1993โ€“2008, he opened his own practice called Integrative Pediatrics, which focused on informed consent and honoring parentsโ€™ wishes in all areas, serving over fifteen thousand active patients.ย  Paulโ€™s first book, The Vaccine-Friendly Plan, was published in 2016 by Ballantine. It has sold over 100,000 copies and is now available in many languages. His second book, The Addiction Spectrum, was published by Harper One in 2018. He is also the author of several other publications and articles in peer reviewed journals, the founder and cohost of the With the Wind podcast, host of Good Morning CHD - Pediatric Perspectives, and the host of a successful YouTube channel, Paul Thomas MD.ย  Paul has been speaking at freedom rallies and conferences for several years about the dangers of the CDC vaccine schedule and vaccines in general. In December 2022, he retired his license to practice medicine in Oregon to focus on bringing the facts about vaccines to the public. Paul cofounded Kids First 4 Ever with DeeDee Hoover. Currently residing in Oregon, DeeDee Hoover was born in Texas and has lived and worked in numerous states. Graduating in 1992 from Brian Utting Massage school, she is a licensed massage therapist. As a licensed bodyworker, she specializes in pediatrics, oncology, pain treatment and prevention and decompression therapy, as well as geriatric and end-of-life care. She is also a family health and wellness coach, focusing on supporting families with improving pediatric health outcomes. DeeDee is a pediatric โ€œKids Firstโ€ wellness advocate, cofounder of Kids First 4 Ever, and cohost of the With the Wind podcast.
