TRANSCRIPT:
Maureen McDonnell: Good evening. On behalf of the organizations that collaborated to create this event, Millions Against Medical Mandates, Children’s Health Defense and The Autism Action Network, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to this educational forum. My name is Maureen McDonnell, and I’m one of the organizers, and along with Curtis Cost, we will be moderating this event and introducing you to these world-renowned experts.
Maureen McDonnell: Very quickly, I was a pediatric registered nurse for over 40 years, and during that time, I organized dozens of children’s health conferences where I met hundreds, if not thousands, of parents of children who were harmed by vaccines. When these parents learned about the role of vaccines had played in causing their children’s health problems, or their behavioral or developmental conditions, many of these parents came up to me at these events and looked me straight in the eye and said, “If only I knew then what I know now, boy would I have made different decisions.”
Maureen McDonnell: All the presenters you are about to hear from tonight are here for one reason. They don’t want you to look back at this time and this decision as to whether or not to take this particular vaccine and say, “If only I knew then.” As we all know, censorship is now at an all time high, yet few topics are more significant than this one. One has to ask, why is there so much mistrust of this vaccine, and why is it so difficult to obtain information and have a discussion about the science and data related to this particular vaccine?
Maureen McDonnell: This webinar seeks to fill the void that has been created by the extreme level of censorship and answer some of those hard questions that you and millions of concerned individuals around the world are asking. Some 40,000 people registered for this event. Many are listening live and many more will access the recording that will be on childrenshealthdefense.org website, along with the transcript. It will also be on Millions Against Medical Mandates’ website. It’s also being live streamed on Children’s Health Defense Facebook page which you can share now. Questions can be posted in the chat and the organizers will go through them and make sort of a Q&A document and make it available to you after this event.
Maureen McDonnell: One last comment before I turn it over to my co-host, Curtis Cost. As many of you know, some people in media are trying to paint those of us in to health freedom movement as extremists, or they say we are spreading misinformation. Some even say that when one inquires into the safety and effectiveness of this vaccine, they are engaging in hate speech. Well, I’m here to tell you as a nurse, a mother and a grandmother, that nothing, absolutely nothing, could be further from the truth. The brilliant and dedicated medical doctors, lawyers, scientists and activists you will hear tonight care deeply about finding and reporting the truth. They care about our health and our freedom to make our own choices. Like millions around the world who also want to examine this vaccine more closely, these individuals love their family and they love humanity. And that, my friends, is why we are all here tonight.
Maureen McDonnell: As John F. Kennedy once said, “Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed and no republic can survive.” He goes on to state that, “An ancient Greek lawmaker once decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy.” This has definitely become the controversy of our lifetime, and I beg you not to shrink from it. Learn from these experts, do your own research, make your own decision, but make them informed decisions. At this precarious time in history, it is time to face this issue head-on. To do that, we must have open debate, we must be honest, transparent and have integrity. Tonight, let us go beyond the divisiveness, let us be inquisitive and examine both sides of this discussion by diving deeply into the facts. Thank you, and now let me turn it over to my co-host, Curtis Cost. Curtis?
