​... we're not really dealing with a scientific battle. This isn't a scientific battle; believe it or not, this is a religious battle. This is a battle of beliefs. Vaccination has been taught to generations of people now as being the greatest thing that man has ever done, that this is a 'we for the first time have been able to control Mother Nature without consequence.' That's the story. That's what we've been told."

​"The most important thing that I like to tell people is make sure again that you have a plan in place. If it's not my organization, just make sure you have a plan. There are others out there. But make sure that you have a plan for an advocate because nobody thinks that they need an advocate until they do. And then many times it's too late, you're behind the eight ball, get a plan in place, become a member, it's $30 a month and even if you don't need our services now, when you do need us, we're going to be right there to serve you and well equipped to be able"
