This podcast, along with some of my own research, pushed me to make a fully informed decision for my children! As a nurse, we are only taught “vaccines are safe and effective” and that side effects are only minimal and quickly dismissed if otherwise. Thank you for bringing the real information to us in an easily digestible way!

Hey Melissa, stop being a preachy-nagging-annoying mom. I couldn’t finish the podcast because you’re so annoying.

I love Dr. Bob and Melissa. I think they do such a good job giving both sides of the information! I looked up Dr. Bon on Google yesterday and laughed out loud when I read his wiki page… he is “dangerous” because of his view on vaccines. Please know that the people that aren’t brain washed trust you and appreciate you!!! Both of you!

I love the scientific explanations that Dr. Bob gives on vaccines and their effectiveness. I find Melissa‘s commentary tiring. She often comes across as one of those crazy anti-vax mothers that people talk about when advocating for vaccines. I understand she means well and is just passionate. But as someone who is trying to honestly learn about the vaccines and whether or not they are necessary, she is really causing me to question the information. This is not a personal attack on Melissa, she seems like a great individual. Dr Bob sounds credible, he has facts to back up what he is saying, and he is calm. Melissa’s passion often sounds like a crazy mom just reacting without thought. Overall, the information is good and I’m trying to continue listening.

Dr. Bob and Melissa do such a thorough job of covering the vaccines that so many doctors won’t even have a conversation about. I am so grateful for their willingness to inform us on not only the vaccines and the potential risks but also what these diseases actually look like based on data not scare tactics.

It is becoming increasingly hard find information on vaccines that is not heavily biased or influenced in favor of vaccines. If you are simply looking to understand more about the history of diseases and vaccines…this is the podcast. Thankful to have found it while raising young children and doing my best to make informed decisions about their health.

Risk of Disease vs the Risk of Vaccine Side Effects. Keep up the good work. Also great book Dr. Bob - The Vaccine Book. Really informative

So informational ! Thank you so much for your time and dedication to educating families today on the controversial ingredients in vaccinations. A must listen for sure. Parents have the right and the responsibility to hear REAL facts about what the CDC/Big Pharma are putting in the vaccinations. I love how you two emphasize-No shame on families who choose to vaccinate - no shame to families who wish to not vaccinate! It’s all about providing the information and ensuring these families have true informed consent on what they are putting in their children’s bodies. 12/10 podcast !

I appreciate when studies are cited that back up the information being revealed! I am still baffled that Pro vaccine discussions seem to neglect revealing any of the information that they reference in this podcast. In deciding whether or not to vaccinate, I feel like I need to write a research paper sighting studies that support why I hesitate to do the full schedule! This podcast helps support my intuition not to do so.

Thanks for your bravery in discussing this hot button topic! I’ve been fascinated by this topic for years. You both do a great job illuminating the concerns of ordinary parents regarding vaccines.

Thankful for you guys! I am a pediatric nurse practitioner and it’s so hard to get correct information on vaccines for my patients and my family.

The small talk at the beginning is so so cringe. Could do with more content and less fluff. Also not sure what the woman’s qualifications are or why she is even on the show. Wanted to listen more but was too hard to get through.

Truly my favorite podcast I have listened to because it has given me so much information and facts about vaccines. If you are looking for truth about vaccines without anything added, go through and listen to the episodes they do on each specific vaccine/disease. So extremely helpful when making the decision to vaccinate or not!!

Melissa and Dr. Bob, thank you for always putting into words what I cannot say. As a parent of a vaccine injured child I do not always know how to say things without the anger I feel behind it. I was not told about any of the information you have given me. You allow the facts to be heard loud and clear and that is what I need to share and inform other of the chance their child could be hurt or even die from something so heavily pushed on all of us. You speak life into a troubled world and freedom into all of us. Melissa’s laugh is the best and I wish I could speak and explain myself in such a way that Melissa does. When I share to others about the message of vaccines and the truth about them I try to channel my inner Melissa. I cannot thank you both enough for educating me, speaking life and hope into me and continuing to fight for those that cannot speak for themselves. I will forever be grateful for your work, research and love you spread. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Here’s to hoping other parents do not have to go through the troubles I have, and I can spread awareness as much as you all have. God bless you both! ❤️❤️❤️

I love this podcast so much! It’s the most helpful information I’ve seen/heard yet. My only complaint is that the episodes on specific diseases are NOT boring like Melissa keeps saying. That annoys me, when she acts like those episodes are not worth spending more than 30 minutes. Those are the episodes I’m here for. And I’m pretty sure they didn’t finish with all of those as promised, so please come back to finish them!!!

So thankful for this show after our family has dealt with vaccine injuries, I really appreciate the TRUTH being put out for everyone to learn!!

I love this podcast! Dr Bob and Melissa truly care to inform people about vaccinations, side effects, diseases, transmission rates, etc. This is an amazing podcast to just learn more from two people who just want to help people not try to persuade anyone one way or another!

As a mother of young children, I started out as a “pro but slow and skip the unnecessary” vaccine supporter, but having a front row seat to the complete shambles of how Covid and covid vaccines were dishonestly handled has made me rethink all of it and desire to have a better handle on the actual risks vs benefits for my kids. Thank you for making all this information so readily available in podcast form. I wondering if you would do (or have done) an episode on ways to help your kid detox safely as much as possible from potential toxins found in vaccines and common medications. And I know it’s not directly related to vaccines, but I love to get some sensible information on antibiotics regarding common childhood illnesses like pink eye, impetigo, ear infections, etc. How to aviod them, when are they needful, etc. Any recommendations on resources for that topic? Thank you so much! C.S.

I love how Melissa and Dr. Bob talk through the issues and stay data driven. I have recommended this podcast to so many because it is level headed and lets the audience make informed decisions. So thankful for this amazing resource!

I hate that I’m just listening to this now, and wish I was more informed about vaccines before having my baby. Thank you Dr. Bob for speaking up when no other doctors will, and inform us about the different side effects. I was always taught in school that vaccines help us build our immune system and just never questioned them. I am nose deep into this podcast and looking for more information about vaccines. Things drastically change when you become a parent and want what’s best and safe for your child. Thank you guys so much I truly appreciate it!

This is my very first podcast and I LOVE IT!! However, I agree with the comment/review from 7/23/19 from #425fan...The data and research is NOT boring and I want to hear ALL of what Dr. Bob has to say!! I love this podcast, but Melissa please try to not interrupt Dr. Bob so much when he’s making valid points. You’re sort of coming across like you don’t think he knows as much as you or his information isn’t worth listening too. I’m sure that’s not what you intend, but it makes me feel uncomfortable for Dr. Bob. Like you, I’m not happy with my Pediatrician or some other health care providers I have come into contact with, but it feels as though you’re projecting that onto Dr. Bob by interrupting him so much. I LOVE his data, numbers, and research sharing! As a healthcare provider and mom myself, I appreciate the information he is sharing. I love listening to you too Melissa and feel you’re an educated, passionate mom, and have a wealth of knowledge to share with us. Please just stop picking on Dr. Bob so much 😉

I’m so grateful for the education brought forth by this podcast. I did not do my research on vaccines before this point because I believed in the system and my doctor never mentioned any risks associated with vaccination. I have 3 children aged 5yrs, 3yrs, and 19 months. I have a lot of guilt for not taking on this journey sooner, but I now know it was because of the mass propaganda that is distributed to make us think vaccines are 100% safe, effective and for life. Like I said above, I’m so grateful for the information, thoughts and full spectrum evaluation of the risks and benefits for each individual to make their own informed choice regarding vaccination brought forth by Melissa and Dr. Bob. They have provided me with the ability to talk in an educated manner about these topics, help to depolarize the debate and advocate for my choice… no matter what that may be. I’ll be recommending this podcast to all my friends and family because it’s what I wish someone had told me.

This podcast is amazing. As a new parents I’ve been trying to find reputable sources to educate myself on vaccinating my child and disease risk versus vaccine risk. Everything out there is so one sided. I really appreciate Dr. Bob presenting research and information for the other side of the argument. You can tell that he is very knowledgeable on the subject as he has been in pediatrics for many years and knows the research. I also appreciate having Melissa on the podcast and presenting parents concerns and another viewpoint. They do a good job together covering tons of information on the subject. Definitely a must listen for everyone, especially parents whether you’re choosing to vaccinate or not.

This podcast is amazing. I can’t get enough. I have a 4 month old daughter and this podcast has been invaluable in helping us make decisions on what is right for her and her medical choices. Each child is different and their care should reflect that. I love listening to this every day on my way too and from work. Please keep making more episodes!

Becoming a mother opens up your brain to a whole new set of intuitions. A mother’s knowledge of her children is at the level of a doctorate! 8 years of med school vs 18 years of raising your kids! I think mom knowledge wins. Melissa’s passion and drive is so authentic. The scientific information is clear and on point. Love it!

I have found Dr. Bob’s resources on vaccines invaluable in helping me really understand the pros, cons, and statistics on vaccines and the diseases they prevent. I’m grateful he’s willing to voice an alternative opinion. Being able to hear both sides of the argument has helped me greatly to feel that I am making an informed decision.

Informative and much appreciated thank you guys for doing this work! Big help to my family - much love to you guys for taking this on

I love this podcast so much! I’ve learned a lot and feel a lot more informed as a parent making decisions for my baby.

When my emergency physician spouse was watching a woman die of Covid-19 during December 2021, the woman said that she and her family had gathered together and rejected vaccination and that 14 of them had come down with Covid after a 21 person gathering. The thing is that only she ended up dying after that gathering. If they had all been vaccinated, sure she would have lived. But at what cost?

I wish I had listened to this podcast before I blindly vaccinated my kids with all the vaccines on the CDC schedule. Informed consent and a true understanding of diseases we vaccinate kids for should be a priority for all parents. This podcast has great interviews, provides reviews of recent medical research, and real intellectual debate.

Just wish I had found this before I made decisions with my older ones! It’s so informative and well researched. They’re not shoving an “anti-vaxx” agenda, it’s really just pro-informed consent, though once you hear all the actual data about the diseases verses the risk of side effects, it’s not really a hard decision. Thank you for all the hard work! And please stop saying the disease episodes are boring 😂 those are my favorite!

I’m 8 months pregnant, was looking for a podcast to explain all the infant vaccines on the schedule. Scrolled back to some of the first episodes and I’ve been binging ever since. It’s been incredibly helpful for us and our decisions!!! Thank you for REAL information!

I absolutely love the dynamic between Dr. Bob & Melissa; a doctor who is pro informed consent & a passionate mother who parents can really relate to. I recommend this podcast to all parents who are overwhelmed with vaccine research & need a good place to start. The work these two are doing is more valuable than they will ever realize. Thank you for being willing to have this uncomfortable conversation!

It’s so hard to find facts about vaccines, the CDC schedule, vaccine/disease history, etc. This podcast gives you ALL the facts. This podcast has given me the confidence to make a completely informed decision with my second child. Just wish I would have found these two sooner!

A doctor that believes in informed consent. I couldn’t ask for a better podcast. This podcast started in 2018 and couldn’t be more relevant with what’s going on today. Thank you for an amazing podcast

It’s so great to be presented with this information that feels almost impossible to find elsewhere. Please make more episodes!

Just some feedback that maybe needs stating. No one is bored by the Dr’s facts and lessons…it’s why we’re here! So the “funny banter”, teasing or random asides are not needed to break up the “boring”. It’s distracting and the only thing keeping me from recommending these disease and vaccine episodes is that at times these side conversations take away from the credibility and professionalism. We want all the data so keep that up, it’s very empowering to know! Thanks!

I’m a registered nurse and have always been a big believer in vaccines. Now as I’ve just had my third baby, and with the political climate that has caused all loss of my trust in the CDC and the vaccine companies, I’ve been reevaluating my medical choices for my children. I wanted to do more research on what vaccines truly are about, and I’ve been thoroughly shocked with how little I knew about them before finding this podcast. I can’t stop listening to the episodes because I keep learning more and more! Thank you for providing all this uncensored information.

Should be the title.

Thank you Melissa & Dr. Bob for taking the time to research & share information on this debate. I’ve learned so much from you guys and this podcast has opened an entire new world of healthy living for me & my family!

Tried finding a discussion on vaccines, this seemed like it should fit that goal. First episode I picked was from summer 2020 where they say COVID isn’t serious “not like it’s cancer, which kills 800,000 people a year!”🤨 wow. Ok cool. Over 600,000 Americans dead, but it’s not cancer so no biggie! Tried a more recent episode, Dr Bob had doubled down on his anti vaccine stance. Big Nope. Ignoring so much data, digging further into cognitive dissonance, logical fallacies, etc.

I really like the disease focused podcasts sprinkled within the politics around mandates and informed consent. I learn so much every time I listen! And Melissa— you are my cup of tea! ¨̮ Thank you both for standing up for medical freedom.

This podcast is incredibly informative. I respect Melissa and Dr Bob for being so bold about a topic that is always so quick to be dismissed. I truly believe that so many children will be benefited through their parents hearing this podcast and having informed consent.

I am so thankful for this podcast! Before listening to this I would’ve considered myself pro vaccine, but anti-mandate. I’m beginning to see myself as vaccine skeptic now. There is so much that I was not aware of before discovering this podcast. My only complaint is that Melissa interrupts way too much. Please let the man finish a sentence!

Dr. Sears seems to be an intelligent, compassionate, and caring lecturer. Unfortunately there is a co host who oversteps. If Melissa were giving her experience as a parent and not pretending to be an expert in a field she has no degree in, I think the show would be great- a professional and a parent giving two sides of the discussion. Instead she plays a professional but cherry picks sources and gives flat out dangerous advice in light of a pandemic. I listened to the Covid episodes before they were removed and was completely floored by the blasé response to a pandemic that has actually killed people. The doctor on his own I’m completely interested in listening to, unfortunately Melissa brings down the caliber of the show.

The good: Very informative. Research cited for further study if you desire. No hesitation to discuss difficult things. The bad: I often have to skip ahead through several minutes of banter at various points in the podcast. On this topic I’d just prefer sticking to the point, though I’m pleased that Dr. Bob and Melissa are such good friends. It is called the vaccine conversation, and when conversing with a friend, banter is inevitable. I guess I also want The Vaccine Conversation For Impatient People.

If we followed this logic would we still have Polio? Is that “freedom”?

Everyone should listen to this podcast. It is so informative and it’s SO NICE to be able to get this incredibly IMPORTANT information through real information, stories and have it delivered in a level headed way. I feel so much better about my decision making as a parent when I hear this information. Parents! You are your child’s best and probably only advocate out there. Do yourself and your child a favor and do. Your. Research! This podcast is a GREAT place to start!!!

I’ve been listening to the early episodes, episode 9 is a great starting off point for anyone who wants a good general overview into this topic that covers a lot. It’s been very helpful to us.

My husband and I are soon to be first time parents, and this podcast has been SO helpful for us! We’ve listened to and read a lot of information, but this has been by far the most informative. The episodes are to the point and the information is presented at face value! Highly recommend!
