13 Years Strong
A Perspective from an "Anti-vaxxer" and her family.
Thirteen years ago today, I underwent more than eight hours of brain surgery at Oregon Health and Science University. This anniversary still affects me, but not in the way it once did. For a long time, as my physical and mental health declined, this day was a source of trauma—a stark reminder of one of the most frightening periods of my life. I felt ashamed for years, having no clue what had happened to me. The only conclusion I could draw was that I was weak, broken, or crazy; that someone else could have fought this better, stronger and with more faith.
Then, in 2022, an amazing physician in Vancouver, Washington, gave me the truth. After reviewing my health records, symptoms, and labs, it became clear: my health had been catastrophically impacted within a week of receiving a single dose of the Gardasil HPV “vaccine.” Finally, I had an answer. As devastating as it was to learn I had been poisoned, this clarity was crucial to my journey. This knowledge allowed me to view my situation with truth, compassion, and new vigor. As I learned from this physician that many young women had died after receiving this shot, I found myself aware of how close I came to, well, death.
The experience of having nearly every system in my body thrown into chaos at once was profoundly confusing. My reproductive health declined immediately, and I returned to the OBGYN who administered a massive dose of hormones to restart ovulation. I went through a battery of cardiopulmonary tests and was prescribed several respiratory medications and Metoprolol to manage palpitations and tachycardia. I was also put on antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, and pain medications for constant headaches, even receiving injections into the dura of my brain just to function. I was told I had over 90 food allergies and sought treatment in Palo Alto for them and the corresponding loss of white blood cell activity. At one point, I was told I was “missing” the genetic code that allowed my brain to properly disburse and utilize dopamine. What had happened? Gardasil had happened. One uninformed choice.
Some would say I’m an “anti-vaxxer.”
As if that’s a bad thing. 🤭 Here’s the truth:
📣I’m an ANTI deadly chemicals being injected into bodies that cause devastating and lifelong health repercussions. After receiving ONE shot of Gardasil, I immediately saw nearly every system in my body collapse. I was on heart medications, respiratory medications, pain medication for constant headaches and migraines, nausea medication, and an antidepressant. I had brain surgery in 2013 and now have Lupus. All because of one tiny jab.
📣I’m ANTI pharmaceutical companies paying for their own “research” and playing with the numbers. Did you know that Gardasil was never truly tested against a placebo? It was tested against compounds with massive amounts of aluminum, fogging the reality of the danger of the “HPV vax.” When all parties receive poison, you can cover up the effects of the non-placebo. PS There is a lot of crossover between pharma companies and the FDA. Who is truly FOR the people?
📣I’m ANTI drugs being marketed and sold to younger and younger children under the guise of protecting them, when it really harms them. Gardasil has NO anti-cancer benefits. It is the opposite actually.
📣I’m ANTI seeing anyone else suffer and go through what myself and SO MANY others have.
Call me anti-vax. But I have firsthand knowledge and a heart that cares.
A Letter From My Mother
“I don’t remember the date; but I do remember the DAY, and all the ones leading up to it…
Katie reminds me that the date is January 23, 2013. For us, Katie’s parents, it’s another emotion-filled day…fear, hope, fatigue. Honestly, the previous years of all those same emotions seems to just blend into a cocktail, with “blend” being the reason why I don’t remember such an important date. We had stood beside Katie, wondering what in the world was happening to her, for, probably a decade.
Katie was over the age of 18 when she was advised by her MD to take the Gardasil shot, so she didn’t have to speak with us about it. (And, honestly, we likely wouldn’t have thought it would be a problem. That was THEN, this is NOW!) Not knowing she had gotten this “vaccine”, we were blind-sided when she started having a myriad of symptoms: migraines that laid her out, nausea, anxiety, menstrual cycles thrown all askew, joint pain, loss of appetite with accompanying scary weight loss. Her dad and I talked many times about all these symptoms, wondering what was happening. It all came on so suddenly! There was not “a symptom here, a symptom there”; it was every symptom HERE, now. She was unable to concentrate in her college classes and finally dropped out. Several times I drove Kate to San Francisco to see a headache specialist there. She got pain injections at the base of her skull to try to ease the pain. Our family doctor ordered a brain scan/MRI, and that is when the cyst was found. We consulted with a doctor in Florida, who had a treatment plan to deal with the cyst in her brain, and balance her endocrine system. A repeat scan showed that the cyst had grown. Enter, OHSU and Dr. Nicolas Coppa, who suggested the surgery. Surgery was scheduled for January 23, 2013. We prayed and watched for eight hours. I stayed at the hospital with Katie, while David drove to our friend’s home to spend the night. After three days, Katie was released to home, with a cart-load of pain medication in hand. That, too, became another leg of this journey as Katie experienced addiction to the pain-med soup that she had been prescribed. Katie was able to break the addiction, praise be to God! The diagnosis of Lupus is the most-recent “kid on the block”, as Gardasil also causes auto-immune disease.
Sometime in 2019/2020, as I recall, Katie told me that she had taken the Gardasil injection and, having now researched it, the very first issue that was noted to be a problem was “neurological issues”. It was then that the lightbulb went on. We had our culprit. But knowing what had caused such pain and emotional disruption, not only for Katie but for us, as her parents, hasn’t erased the memory of all that we went through. Katie’s health was irreversibly changed by that injection…an injection that the manufacturer knows causes these devastating adverse reactions, yet they have not pulled it off the market.
I have to say this: it is no less devastating to watch a young adult child battle the monster of illness from poisons being injected into their body than it is to watch a toddler child battle serious illness without apparent causation.
I end where I started: I don’t remember the DATE, but I do remember the DAY…over two decades of “days”…
But our God is faithful Who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear…
1 Cor. 10:13 (the word “tempted” can also mean “tested”, in the Greek)”
Today…
Today, all these years later, I am simply amazed by the grace shown to me. God is so good. A few weeks ago, my physician shared that my autoimmune values were significantly down, allowing us to begin addressing hormonal imbalances and reproductive health. I know this is nothing short of a miracle, a testament to faith in Jesus Christ and the wisdom I’ve gained in learning how to care for my own body.
On the 13th anniversary of my surgery date, I pondered whether I would even continue to share my story. I mean, it’s kind of old news and I’m doing pretty well now. But here is the conclusion I arrived at - commercials are still playing every day in households across the world, advertising this dangerous drug to a younger and younger population. My life, my story, is what I have to push back against this death drug. If I cause even one person to do deeper research, to think, to decline the shot… then it’s a victory. One precious life saved from suffering and potentially death. All these years later, it still matters. Some can’t speak out about this, but I can, and I will.
Be blessed.
-Katie
