Last night I watched a father of three storm out of a restaurant to get his family away from me.
My boyfriend and I were in a Chinese restaurant in Palo Alto. Joining us was one of Apple’s former C-level Apple executives from the 1980s and 1990s — someone you’d read about in a Steve Jobs biography.
We were in a side room with just one other table, where a family of five sat. Mom, Dad and three school-aged kids were not interacting. Each one was engrossed in their phone.
They weren’t listening to each other. I’ll call them Cell Phone Family.
I assumed Cell Phone Family was definitely not listening to me.
The former C-level exec and I had worked at Apple in the 1990s. I was a newly minted MBA. I remember being in some bigger meetings with him, but he didn’t know me.
I didn’t plan to talk about vaccines at this dinner, wanting to keep the conversation friendly, rather than potentially adversarial.
Then the former Apple exec asked why I left Apple in 1996.
I said I was injured by a medical intervention and couldn’t work anymore.
My boyfriend offered that it was vaccines I’d sought out for a vacation to Bali. I was brain damaged, lost my career, and my MBA became worthless.
Our older friend was very empathetic.
My boyfriend asked him how many vaccines he thinks his grandkids each got. “Three or four,” he responded.
“Try 90 doses of 17 vaccines.”
He was incredulous. He wanted to hear more.
That then launched us into “the vaccine conversation.” He didn’t know vaccine makers had received full product liability immunity from lawsuits via the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, signed by President Reagan in 1986. Or that that had led to manufacturers releasing even more shots onto the market in the 1990s– shots that were not properly safety-tested against a placebo, and shots that were only safety tested for five days.
I had encephalitis and encephalopathy after the shots I got in 1996. I slept 16 hours a day for 3 years, had a 24/7 migraine with nausea, digestive issues and joint pain. With great pain, I recall the derisive term “Yuppie Flu” and inappropriately perky comments like “I’m tired too, I’d like to nap all day!”
While adults were diagnosed more often with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and MS, more children began to be injured in the 1990s with the increased doses and lack of proper safety testing.
My boyfriend mentioned the charts of deaths from infectious illness all showing that deaths had already precipitously declined by more than 90%, in most cases, before each and every vaccine was introduced in the mid-20th Century. That’s the only statistic that matters, since why take a risk with any prophylactic treatment if the infection is not deadly or disabling?
Cell Phone Family was not listening to each other, but they were all listening to us.
Cell Phone Dad walks up to our table.
“You know, you have been talking really loudly,” he said.
I thought I’m sitting at dinner with an elderly man, duh, of course I’m talking a little louder than normal.
He was freaking out that Cell Phone Family Kids had heard that the vaccines Cell Phone Mom and Dad had been getting them were actually dangerous.
Cell Phone Dad morphed into the Thought Police: “You know, everything you said about vaccines is wrong!”
“Everything I said is true,” I calmly retorted. “I guarantee I know more about vaccines than you do, by a longshot.”
He turned on his heel away from us. I realized he got up from his table for two reasons. He wanted his kids to hear him say that I was wrong so they wouldn’t put up a fight against their next vaccines, or question why they had all received dozens of vaccines. And he wanted to get Cell Phone Family away from me as soon as possible.
He acted as if he had just heard there was a bomb threat.
Instead of waiting for his check at this upscale restaurant, he rushed to the hostess, got his dinner check, paid at the hostess stand, then hurriedly came back to tell his family they were leaving.
While he was away paying the check, I looked over at Cell Phone Family— eyeing the kids to make sure they got the message— and said, “vaccines are dangerous, do your research.”
We still have a lot of education to do, in California and beyond.
I’m very optimistic about our lawsuit to permanently end mandates in California. It sits in the 9th Circuit right now. We could get a decision literally any day now.
Choice for California’s students hasn’t been a thing since 2015, and it got worse in 2019 when Newsom obliterated the vaccine medical exemption.
Those with injured children know that all too well– they’ve been forced out of the California school system and into homeschooling – usually compelling at least one parent to give up their job. Who thinks workplace mandates ended with COVID? They are still alive and well in California when a dual-income family is forced to give up one income to protect a vulnerable child.
Other families with school-aged children have been forced out of the State, in droves. They’ve abandoned grandparents, seeking a safe education outside California.
Assuming we win and restore vaccine choice in California, the families who have been devastated by vaccine injuries will rejoice, but Cell Phone Family will never know the difference.
But if Cell Phone Family is ever struck with a vaccine adverse events or tragedy– learning disorders, atopic disease, autoimmunity, paralysis and even death– they may remember what they heard at the Chinese restaurant in Palo Alto, and realize that that anti-vaccine bitch was right.
I wish I could find a teaching moment before people stumble into their own devastating teaching moment. We educated a 90-something, but not Cell Phone Family. At least not now.
In 1996, Ms. Mayer was running a worldwide research group for Apple Inc., when she got 6 vaccines for a vacation and became disabled, brain damaged and lost her career. Now substantially recovered, she is Board Chair & President of Free Now Foundation, the leading medical freedom law non-profit in California.
Ms. Mayer is an in-demand speaker, and her lively presentations on 1/ The Measles Manipulation of RFK Jr., 2/ REAL ID: Weaponized Architecture, 3/ ABV: Anything But Vaccines and 4/ The Legal Howdunit of COVID have earned her recognition and accolades. "I know women in VP positions who do not hold a candle to this woman's sunlight," stated a commenter on a recent interview with Mike Adams, "She gives me hope that humanity still lives."
Ms. Mayer formerly served on the Children's Health Defense (CHD) board, co-founded & served as Chairman of CHD’s most successful Chapter in California, helping raise in excess of $5M, and served on RFK Jr’s Presidential campaign finance committee, raising hundreds of thousands for the campaign.
In 2022, she won the Golden Bear Award and a presentation she gave to Dr. Mercola was named a "Best of" interview. Her favorite award is her "Freedominator" Rock given by Marin Freedom Rising in 2023. Ms. Mayer grew up in the Oscar Mayer family, and has degrees from Duke (BA) and Northwestern (MBA.)
I’m an Asian-American licensed healthcare professional living in Los Angeles, California, and I can tell you everything that is wrong about Cell Phone Family Dad. Rather than kindly asking you to lower your voice, he interrupted your conversation which was disrespectful. He publicly insulted you in front of his kids to make you as an example that no one is allowed to disagree with him. He set himself up as a poor example of a dad. If he’s able to reject indisputable scientific facts, then he’s brainwashed and deceived. The problem with Asian upbringing is that kids are forced to obey their Asian parents no matter what. They’re not allowed to question their parents. Blind submission is the Achilles heel of the Asian culture. I’m not afraid to openly admit this. If he really was a great dad, then why is the entire Cell Phone Family hooked on their screens like drug addicts at a public restaurant? How is that a healthy family outing? It is not. He can’t even hold a friendly, open dialogue with you. Cell Phone Family is stuck in their own echo chambers. Everyone has a right to their own opinion. This is a free country where everyone should be allowed to freely disagree.
Great perspective, Angela! thanks for sharing your assessment – very helpful!
Well done–in a calm, respectful fashion, in the face of adversity.
Anger is a tool many people use unconsciously to get cortisol and epinephrine flowing and get them into
either fight or flight, or grievance avoidance mode, where the right brain is shut down from empathy.
The children in the group saw your countenance and could feel your vibrational presence. As a direct result of your respectful manner, I am sure that one, or more, of the family would consider alternatives to their paradigm. Certainly you did not give them reason to fuss and fume over an angry encounter.
Bravo and Thank you!
Thanks Peter! It’s funny how people don’t even think about vaccines, but when something doesn’t align with what they’ve been taught (subconsciously!) their limbic system takes over everything!
His anger comes from the realization that he’s hurt himself, his wife and his kids.
It’s guilt.
After all the censoring, fines, arrests, shadow banning etc it’s all coming out.
Most with 3 shots will probably die DECADES before they should have.
TBF?
Fuck em.
They wouldn’t listen, they despised us, tried to break us.
Now is time to pay the Piper.
The Big Culling is coming.
Most kids will be low IQ and infertile with physical and mental issues as it damages brain tissue.
I no longer care about those that sleep because they REFUSED TO WAKE UP.
It’s really sad, but the mass poisoning continues and people are choosing it, despite being able to figure it out with a few keystrokes.
At this point, those who refuse to wake up are wilfully ignorant.
Too many people belive everything their Doctors advise them about, including vaccines. It was obvious to me that “heil” fauci was a fraud. He was unsuccessful in the 80’s with his aids vaccine. A freind asked me, at the beginning of the china virus pandemic, what I thought of fauci , I replied when a person is talking about a serious matter and they have a smirk on their face- count me out. I never got the vaccine and resisted all attempts. It’s really a crime that anyone was forced to get a vacine shot. Let’s all support Alix in anyway possible.
Thank you Bruce! Funny you mentioned smirking. When we protested Fauci’s book a couple years ago on his book tour, some protesters waited until he exited the building and he DID smirk at them!
An NBC News story from last fall found that “The vast majority of counties across the United States are experiencing declining rates of childhood vaccination and have been for years, according to an NBC News data investigation, the most comprehensive analysis of vaccinations and school exemptions to date.”
https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/data-investigation-childhood-vaccination-rates-are-backsliding-us-rcna228876
In the same month, a poll done by the Washington Post and KFF (a medical care nonprofit) found that
“16 % of parents are forgoing getting their children vaccinated for diseases other than COVID-19 or the flu, with white parents, Republicans, the religious and those homeschooling their kids more likely to skip the shots.”
https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5503896-declining-vaccination-rates-parents/
Those 2 articles present the decline as a problem and hint that uninformed people are making such decisions. This medical journal article suggests maybe those wary parents have cause for concern:
“COVID-19 Vaccine Refusal among Nurses Worldwide,” the Feb. 2022 issue of Vaccines reports that “The overall pooled prevalence rate of COVID-19 vaccine refusal among 41,098 nurses worldwide was 20.7%.”
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8876951/
And here’s more basis for such “foolish” parental caution: “In 2024, the U.S. recommended more childhood vaccine doses than any other peer nation, and more than twice as many as some European nations.” Yet we aren’t hearing about children in those countries dying by the thousands for lack of injections.

Thanks for these resources, Lauren! It’s the people who know and who are doing their research that start refusing vaccines. Vaccine knowledge is a one-way street – no one goes the other way after learning about vaccine dangers.
Big Pharma gets the upper hand because they sponsor the mainstream media. They always make anti-vaxxers look like a bunch of quacks. Most anti-vaxxers become anti-vaxxers because they have either experienced a vaccine-induced injury or they regret vaccinating their children after watching them suffer adverse reactions. The media almost gives no voice for the vaccine-injured, right?
