"I’m posting this rather sheepishly. My bestie wrote it. I am not sharing it for the slightly embarrassing part in the middle, but rather the message at the end.

Is she talking to you?

******************************

Murder in Plain Sight; And I Am Part of the Problem.

I am an anti-vaxxer, but I am a closet anti-vaxxer.

I haven’t always been “in the closet.” In fact if you knew me 6 years ago, I was outspoken on the topic. If I knew you were pregnant, I would try to share with you what I had learned about the dangers of vaccination. I would talk openly with other mothers whom I had met in Mommy groups. I would try to educate my siblings whose teenagers would soon be offered the Gardasil vaccine. I would explain how I became an anti-vaxxer. I would explain how I have a bachelor’s degree in medical biology and a master’s degree in organizational management focusing on hospital administration, and that I wrote my thesis on medical ethics between physicians and pharmaceutical companies. I would share my experience as an LPN throughout college and how I worked in a pediatric office for 10 years. That I was in the military and received countless vaccines. I would say over and over that I myself, was pro-vaccine and that I thought anti-vaxxers were crazy people.

When I was pregnant with my first child, my husband sat me down and asked me to watch the movie The Greater Good.

My entire life changed.

I printed out every single vaccine insert off the CDC website and read them thoroughly, highlighting and doing the math, statistically figuring out how likely my child would be affected by a vaccine injury. I spoke with 2 of my Aunts and asked them when they knew that my cousins had Aspergers. I asked my husband’s Aunt who is also an RN at Mass General about my husbands’ cousin who also has Aspergers and they all said the same thing; they were never the same after the MMR.

Now call me crazy but that’s not a coincidence.

The more I learned, the angrier I became. I was angry with pharmaceutical companies, angry with doctors, angry with nurses and angry with parents! All my education, all my beliefs were completely changed, and it was from information that was readily available to me.

Eventually I grew tired of meeting resistance in every conversation and being called crazy. I grew fearful of the angry, uneducated parents who I would see threaten other parents and children on social media. I grew fearful and almost paranoid of pharmaceutical companies. I worried that people would be mean to my children and ostracize them from the group by not inviting them to parties because of my decision. I took on the philosophy- “Hey, if you don’t want to educate yourself on what you’re injecting into your child, then its not my problem.”

It is still heartbreaking to me whenever I see a pregnant woman. I wonder if she is going to unnecessarily allow people she trusts to give her teeny, little newborn the hepatitis B vaccine.

Is she going to lose her 2-month-old or 4-month-old to SIDS?

I grew to only share with close friends, and only if it came up in conversation. Often that was met with the “are you freaken crazy” stares. The blessings would come when I would meet a new friend and we would learn that we both were anti-vax! I have learned to ignore the pro-vaccine posts on social media, when I really would want to comment things like “why don’t you get a clue and educate yourself?” I would cringe when I would hear people call anti-vaxxers “google doctors,” as if any of us just googled this and made our decision in 5 minutes. I have learned to not even look at the comment section of any news channels when they would post on a measles outbreak, always blaming the unvaccinated. I’ve learned to control my rage when I hear and read people blaming my perfectly healthy children for spreading disease. I have learned to just roll my eyes at the philosophy of herd immunity. Especially when a parent of a vaccine injured child would still encourage others to vaccinate because it would protect their now immunocompromised child. As if their child is more important than mine. Where is the logic there? You all know what I am talking about.

Social media is such a vital tool when it comes to spreading awareness. Unfortunately, it gives anyone and everyone a platform. Which can be said about any one of us, depending upon which side your on.

One day while scrolling down my feed on Facebook I came across this video posted on one of the vaccine pages I follow. It was a mother who was angry and sharing her experience in a beautifully written poem that she acted out, rather impressively. The thing was, I swore I knew her or at least had seen her before. So, I looked her up and saw that we had several mutual friends and that she lived in the next town over!!! I instantly messaged her right away! Sometimes I think social media is the armpit of the world and I hate that I am addicted to it like a junkie to heroin, but sometimes it sends us blessings, because we met. And it was instant friendship.

We clicked, we bonded.

We share truths and secrets, we laugh, we laugh A LOT and yes, we cry.

Her name is Hillary Simpson and she has become my best friend and she is one of the leaders of our revolution. She is changing the world and she is changing me. She is bringing me out of the closet. She is fearless and she makes me want to be fearless. I’ve seen people come at her and she is unphased. She remains calm and only seeks to inform, she doesn’t get swept into Facebook wars. She receives threats against her and her family and remains strong. She is raising warriors. And she is never going to quit.

I watch her and I wish I wasn’t so afraid. Why should I be? The decision we made was an informed one. My husband and I are both educated people. We have 2 healthy children. Why am I afraid to tell people that I am against vaccination? So what if someone thinks I am crazy? What if I share what I know and that knowledge opens the mind of just one person, one person whose life could possibly be greatly affected by the vaccination.

Most importantly I am learning that there are more of us out there than I ever imagined, and our numbers are growing. We have all heard the saying “It takes a village.” Well in this case, it takes an army and that is what we are.

An army of angry mothers and fathers that are tired of being victimized, by not only big pharma but the media and even other parents.

I may not ever go the extent and lengths that Hillary has gone to and continues to go to, but I will not shy away from conversations anymore. I will not allow people to shame me and my choice. I will speak up and say I don’t vaccinate my children and maybe if you educated yourself you would also see that what is happening with the vaccine industry is murder in plain sight."

20 Questions Tag Meme

So, I, uhh, got tagged in this thing? Does this mean we can be friends now, @howtotrainyournan ?

Rules: Answer the 20 questions and tag 20 amazing followers you would like to get to know better.

Name: Allegra

Nicknames: Lego. That’s pretty much it. Not much you can do with my name. But there is this one kid in my choir who calls me Leggy-Ra-Ra. Also, when I was about 2, I used to introduce myself as Shu-Maht which is apparently the names of a brother and sister duo of Sumerian gods, soo, make of that what you will.

Zodiac Sign: Leo (I’m basically a walking stereotype for this)

Height: 5′9"? 5'10"? I ver tol. For an xx.

Orientation: Pan without a plan.

Ethnicity: White. Very white. Some Danish, some Scottish, some other stuff I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’ve been told that the battle cry of the Scottish clan I’m distantly from translates to “TOUCH NOT THIS CAT”

Favorite Fruit: MANGO

Favorite Season: It honestly changes about as much and as often as my concept of gender. Probably currently a tie between mid-spring and early fall.

Favorite Book: Pick ONE?? You’re HILARIOUS! The Edge Chronicles, A Wrinkle in Time, all of Roald Dahl’s children’s books, the Warrior’s series, The Hobbit, the Skippyjon Jones books, my sketchbook, and a ton of others I can’t remember right now.

Favorite Flower: YES. FLOR. PRETY.

Favorite Scent: Books (I’m a book huffer. I might have a problem), my deodorant (I think it might have human pheromones in it), incense, moxa, the top of my friend’s head (ok but you don’t understand it’s like fruity and flowery and it’s not from his shampoo or conditioner he shaved his head once and it STILL SMELLED AMAZING. I’m pretty sure it’s because he’s a cleverly disguised unicorn.)

Favorite Color: The mountains.

Favorite Animal: Tardigrades Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate: Hot coco with a tiny bit of instant coffee and a tiny bit of cayenne for flavor. Also, Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea is basically seasonal crack in my house.

Average Sleep Hours: Never enough.

Cat or dog person?: Chinchillas. Never had one. Never met one. But I want one.

Favorite Fictional Character: I thought about this question for a long time, resigning myself to listing all of my faves. Then I remembered Sokka.

Number of blankets you sleep with: one big comforter we’ve owned at least since I was 3, three or four fuzzy throws, and my enbyfriend who totally counts as a blanket. In the winter at least. In the summer it’s just the comforter and the nbf.

Ideal trip: Colorado to see my first best friend, the person who imprinted on me when I was about 5 days old. I got to see her a few years ago and we basically have the same morbid sense of humor and curiosity for random things.

Blog Created: 2012? 2013? I followed so many Phan blogs at first that I got intimidated and didn’t go on here until about a year ago when I discovered Undertale. Now I have found blogs from ALL my fandoms!!

Number of Followers: 8 Real People™ 6 of which are mutuals. I think that’s pretty good actually, considering I only reblog. YOU’RE ALL SO COOL AND I LIKE YOU GUYS A LOT. I don’t actually have 20 followers, but I’ll tag @psmd @violetzing @cecils3rdeye @welcome-tothematrix and @hershelchocolate

Have fun!

Get To Know Me Tag

So I attempted to make a YouTube video doing this but it turns out that, as I predicted, I am much more confident behind the camera. I don’t tend to enjoy showing my face all that much. I thought that a pretty cool alternative was to write instead. So here we go I guess.

1. What is your middle name?

I happen to be a deprived child as I do not have a middle name. But I do get what seems to be a pretty complicated first name but I’m not sure that that’s much of a luxury. It makes things difficult in Starbuck’s haha.

2. What is your favourite colour?

My favourite colour is like a dark emerald/forest green. If I have fellow nerds reading this, then you will probably understand me when I say the best way for me to describe the colour is to call it ‘Slytherin green’. (FYI, I’m not a Slytherin, I just love that sort of dark green.)

3. Who was your first best friend?

Her name was Rachel. We went to the same childminder and when we were very very young we used to argue a lot. We grew out of that stage and we were best friends for many years. Unfortunately, I’m not in contact with her anymore.

4. How tall are you?

I literally just went to measure myself for this question. I’m exactly 5′4″. To be honest, I’m pretty proud of that as my family are all either short or average height, so to fall under average is a privilege with my genetics.

5. Cats or dogs?

Cats. 100%. Don’t get me wrong, I love dogs. They are pretty energetic though and cats are pretty chill and therefore much more on my wavelength. Not as much as tortoises are though. Those guys are awesome.

6. Funniest moment throughout school?

Okay so I presume this excludes College which is a shame because I’ve got some really awesome moments from College. So if we are talking high school and primary school, I’m kind of at a loss. I didn’t have a particularly happy childhood, but that’s a whole other story. If I had to pick, I’d probably go with my maths lessons. I was in set 1 so people assumed that our classes were boring and hard work, but actually, in year 9, we had the most awesome teacher. We’d basically spend the entire lesson gossiping and the teacher would tell us some funny stories about herself. The one I remember best was about her irrational fear of rice. (I don’t even know aha.) Also, when I got diagnosed with severe depression, she was super supportive. Turns out that she struggled with it herself, so she completely understood. What a legend, I hope she’s doing well.

7. How many countries have you visited?

Okay so I’ll have to count. I live in England and I’ve visited Wales, Ireland, France, Spain, Ibiza, Minorca, Majorca, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Zante, Crete, Italy, Germany, Japan and Switzerland. I think that’s it, although I have visited some of these places multiple times. So I think that’s 15 altogether.

8. Are you in/have you been to College?

Well I’m using the English definition of College which is generally further education for 16-18 y/olds. But this can differ depending on your educational background. So I’m starting College in September. I’ve just finished school which is an odd and kind of sad thing. But I’m doing a course in TV and Film production which is very exciting!

9. What was your favourite/worst subject in high school?

This is a fun question. My favourite(s) were always Physics, Maths, Art, Music and Drama. I hated the acting part of drama but coming up with ideas for productions was always super fun and interesting for me. My worst subject(s) were always English and P.E. Thank the lord above that I don’t have to do those subjects anymore. I love writing and I love reading but I hate being told what to write/read. And I think if someone ever asks me to analyse text again I’ll run away to the north pole and live as an eskimo. We won’t even get on to the subject of P.E. I don’t want that pain to be brought to the surface.

10. What is your favourite drink?

Coffee. Yes! I love it more than I love myself. Soy lattes. Honestly so amazing. But I do like the odd smoothie, tea, and sparkling water.

11. What is your favourite animal?

Essentially all of them. But if I had to pick I’d probably go with Pigs. But I do love Cows, Goats, Degus, Bearded Dragons, Tortoises, and Cats. Ooh also Gorillas. I really want to hug a Gorilla. Probably one of my life goals. I clearly have high expectations of my life.

12. What is your favourite perfume?

I do love the Strawberry scented one from The Body Shop. And Si by Giorgio Armani smells lovely and reminds me of my mum which is nice. Also Eccentric from Victoria Secret smells heavenly.

13. Tea or Coffee?

Coffee would be my first choice most of the time but tea never fails to cheer me up when I’m down. So I want to say both. But I think I’d find it harder to live without coffee than tea.

14. What would you name your children?

I haven’t really thought about it. I’d maybe say Alistar, Belle, Luna, or Tom? I’m sure I’ll find more names that I like though in the future.

15. What sports do you/have you played?

I’m not a massive fan of sports to be honest but I enjoy swimming, diving, biking and badminton occasionally. I went through a very sporty stage where I was in the Basketball, Football, Netball and Badminton team. Ah the days when I had energy and was productive. How far ago they feel. I also LOVE dancing but I mainly do it when I’m home alone as I’m possibly the least coordinated person on Earth. I can’t even run without it looking like I’m on some form of recreational drug.

16. What is your favourite book?

Reasons To Stay Alive by Matt Haig. Matt is a brilliant writer and a lovely guy. I met him a few weeks back. It was a privilege. There are very few people that I feel comfortable around from the get go, but he was one of them. In this book he talks about mental heath. It’s incredibly moving and always makes me feel incredibly lucky to be alive, even though I don’t always feel that way. If you don’t know him, check his work out, follow him on twitter etc etc. (@matthaig1) He also writes novels and I’m currently reading his latest, ‘How to Stop Time’ It’s shaping up to be extraordinary. (Have I sold him enough yet?)

17. Who are some of your favourite YouTubers?

I have many, many, many of those. I shall reel off a list. Amy Ordman, The Bakeey, Chris Klemens, Alexis G. Zall, Rose Ellen Dix, TheRoxetera, WiseHufflepuff, Hannah Witton, emmablackery, BriaAndChrissy, Cammie Scott, LukeIsNotSexy, UnsolicitedProject, JaackMaate, Ash Hardell, Banana Warrior Princess, James Aspey, nowthisisliving, The Vegan Activist, doddleoddle, Stef Sanjati, TheRealAlexBertie, MissFenderr, MilesChronicles, Ally Hills, Kristina Schiano, Vegan Geezer, Evan Edinger, Tessa Netting, Rob Chapman, Mayin Bialik, MyHarto, Lucy Moon, Savannah Brown, Jake Edwards and Alien in a Box.

Note: I am also subscribed to various BuzzFeed channels, various band accounts, Watch Mojo, TheEllenShow, The Graham Norton Show, Pottermore and other YouTubers that I’m not a fan of as such, their channels and topics just interest me.

18. What is your favourite movie?

Ahh. How am I supposed to choose?! I am such a movie nerd. Okay. My top 5 are Girl Interrupted, Fight Club, Sweeny Todd (the one with Johnny Depp), Pitch Perfect 2 and the live action Beauty and The Beast. (I would feel mean picking one and not all of the Harry Potter Movies.) I’m going to have to choose the live action Beauty and The Beast simply because it’s fun, uplifting and so beautifully made. (Also the soundtrack is heaven.)

19. Are you single or taken?

Single.

20. What’s your idea of an ideal first date?

Maybe coffee and a posh night out in London. Like a jazz bar and maybe a theatre performance. Honestly, I doubt that would ever happen, but I suppose a girl can dream. If I get to choose who the date is with could I opt for Anna Kendrick? Kind regards.

21. How many boyfriends/girlfriends have you had?

Excluding my primary school boyfriend, 4. There was someone I met in hospital, someone I met at school, someone I met online through a mutual friend, someone that lives round the corner from me.

22. Favourite memory from childhood?

Erm... I’m sure there’s something... Well I do always miss being young and innocent and waking up early and walking to school with my parents. The birds would tweet and the sun would shine and I’d have lovely chats with the teachers and my childminder. And my dad would pick me up and we’d bike home and I would watch 64 Zoo Lane and eat Ice Cream. Ah the good old days. Ooh and Christmases and trips to Cornwall. Not gonna lie I still enjoy all of this stuff. I guess childhood wasn’t too bad. Well, for the first 7 years at least.

23. Do you speak any other languages and how well?

I don’t. I can do the odd phrase in Spanish, Italian, Greek, French, German and Japanese at a push. I won and award for my French around 5 years back. But I’ve slept a lot since then so I don’t remember all that much. Also I had a terrible French teacher a few years back who put me off the subject for life. Let’s just say she wasn’t my biggest fan.

24. Do you have any siblings?

I have a step sister. But that’s all. She’s pretty amazing though so. Also she’s currently living in Japan which means I get cool stuff because it turns out that Japan are way ahead the UK in creating top notch backpacks.

25. How would you describe your fashion sense?

Band merch/Harry Potter tees, jeans and hoodies, pretty much. I also own the odd flannel. Doc Martens, Converse and Vans are the footwear of choice. Beanies are pretty cool too. For colder days denim jackets and ‘leather’ jackets are my jam. So basically the casual lesbian look is my style. Way to fit the stereotype, Bri.

26. What is your favourite restaurant?

Okay, I have three. YoSushi, Handmade Burger Company and Bella Italia. All three have amazing vegan options. Also they all hold really happy memories for me.

27. What are some of your favourite TV shows?

Ooh, I like quite a few. My number one would have to be The Big Bang Theory. I also love Sherlock, Orange is The New Black, Miranda, 13 Reasons Why and Stranger Things.

28. PC or Mac?

Mac all the way. I have nothing against PC but I recently invested in a mac and it is my life. I find it easier to use and I much prefer the layout.

29. What phone do you have?

I have an Iphone 6S in rose gold. (With a really cute cat case, just saying.)

30. What is one of your bad habits?

Biting my nails. I’ve done it for my whole life and I can’t, nor do I have any intention to stop.

That’s all for today, thanks so much for reading! I’m definitely going to try and post much more often from now on.

Lots of love, Briony.
