THIS CA PEDIATRICIAN OPENLY SUPPORTS VACCINE CHOICE

Ep. 21

Can California's school vaccine mandates finally be overturned?


In this episode of The Alix Mayer Show, Dr. Richard Fox, pediatrician, attorney, and lead counsel for Free Now Foundation's lawsuit challenging California's childhood vaccine mandates, explains the legal strategy behind one of the most significant medical freedom cases currently working its way through the courts.

Dr. Fox shares how his experience treating patients during the COVID pandemic led him to re-examine childhood vaccination policy, why California's mandate system violates the Fourteenth Amendment, and how recent federal court decisions may strengthen the legal case against vaccine mandates.

He also shares why he became one of the few openly vaccine-optional pediatricians in California, what he has observed in his own medical practice, and why parents from across the state seek him out for care.


In this episode, we cover:

• Free Now Foundation’s lawsuit, filed by Dr. Richard Fox, seeking to end California's childhood vaccine mandates

• Why the Fourteenth Amendment is central to the case

• How recent Ninth Circuit and Supreme Court decisions could impact vaccine mandate litigation

• The legal strategy behind this lawsuit designed to end the hard student vaccine mandates

• Dr. Fox's experience treating hundreds of COVID patients through telemedicine

• Why he became an openly vaccine-optional pediatrician

• Conflicts of interest in pediatric medicine

• Vaccine injury compensation and the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act

• The future of parental rights and medical freedom in California

  • 24. BREAKING: Trump’s New Vaccine EO Just Dropped & It Could Blow Up California’s Mandate Tyranny

    29:46||Ep. 24
    President Trump just signed the executive order “Delivering Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations for Americans” — and it just changed the entire battlefield for parental rights.Significantly, Free Now Foundation, the medical freedom law non-profit run by Alix, is years ahead of the Executive Order, already engaged in lawsuits to restore parental choice around vaccination. This is Free Now Foundation’s moment to get the DOJ behind their lawsuits. Free Now Foundation is about to become the “belle of the ball.” Wins in these cases, all filed in California, could restore choice for the nation.In this urgent solo episode of The Alix Mayer Show, Alix tears into the order section by section and reveals why the most powerful part isn’t the new federal recommendations… it’s the direct order to the Department of Justice.This EO:- Slashes the routine childhood schedule- Moves multiple vaccines (including Hep B birth dose) to high-risk only or shared clinical decision-making- Demands single-dose measles, mumps, and rubella options- Orders new research on timing, sequencing, aluminum adjuvants, and real safety monitoring- And most critically, directs the DOJ to take action against state laws that trample parental authority, religious freedom, disability accommodations, and equal protectionCalifornia and other blue states have already tried to wall themselves off from federal guidance. But Section 4 opens a direct path for federal force to back the lawsuits Free Now Foundation has been fighting for years.Alix takes you inside Free Now’s due process and ADA cases — the exact legal template that could restore the simple right to say “No” — and explains why this EO just put rocket fuel behind those efforts.If you live in a state with zero functional exemptions and kids locked out of school for missing a single dose, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.**In this episode:**- What the new gold-standard childhood vaccine categories actually say- Why Hep B at birth is now high-risk only under federal guidance- The push to break up the MMR shot- Why California’s pinned-to-2025 schedule tries to ignore all of it- The exact language ordering the DOJ into parental rights fights- How Free Now Foundation’s cases are already years ahead — and how federal involvement could accelerate wins- Why a victory here becomes the roadmap for every blue state still under medical segregationSupport the fight to end vaccine mandates so parents can simply say no: https://freenowfoundation.org/**Sponsor** The Alix Mayer Show is sponsored by Mish International — gold and silver specialists since 1963.

  • 20. PASTOR WHO DEFIED COVID LOCKDOWNS TELLS ALL: “I WAS FINED $4 MILLION.”

    58:06||Ep. 20
    Why did one California pastor risk millions of dollars in fines rather than shut down his church?In this episode of The Alix Mayer Show, Pastor Mike McClure of Calvary Chapel San Jose shares the story behind one of the most courageous acts of resistance during the COVID lockdowns. After reopening his church on Pentecost Sunday in 2020, McClure says Santa Clara County fined his church more than $4 million, obtained restraining orders against him, and pursued years of legal action in an effort to force the church to close.Pastor Mike recounts why churches had a responsibility to remain open, the events that convinced him lockdown policies were causing serious harm, and what happened as county officials monitored church services, issued escalating fines, and challenged his ministry in court. He also discusses his Christian faith, the role it played in his decision-making, and why he believes fear became one of the defining forces of the pandemic.In this episode, we cover:Why Pastor Mike reopened his church during California's lockdownsThe lawsuit challenging Santa Clara County's COVID restrictionsThe $4 million in fines imposed on Calvary Chapel San JoseRampant county surveillance and enforcement against the churchHis courtroom battle over religious freedomThe role faith played in resisting government mandatesHow COVID changed his ministry and public lifeWhy Americans must continue questioning government authoritySponsor:The Alix Mayer Show is sponsored by Mish International, gold and silver specialists since 1963.When you need protection from monetary inflation and paper asset exposure, contact the trusted team at Mish International.

  • 19. DR BILL LIONBERGER: THE LEGAL LOOPHOLE CALIFORNIA DOESN'T WANT PARENTS TO KNOW

    01:02:59||Ep. 19
    In this episode of The Alix Mayer Show, Dr. Bill Lionberger—forensic disability evaluator, chiropractor, law enforcement officer, and one of the pioneers behind the ADA vaccine waiver—explains how federal disability law may provide a path for families seeking accommodations from school vaccine mandates.As California tightened control over medical exemptions through the state's CAIR-ME database, Dr. Lionberger says he recognized a conflict between California's vaccine exemption process and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Drawing on decades of experience evaluating disabilities and working alongside disability rights attorneys, he developed an ADA-based approach that allows qualifying individuals to seek accommodations outside California's traditional medical exemption system.Dr. Lionberger explains why schools are required to comply with federal disability law, how the ADA differs from California's vaccine exemption process, and why parents of vaccine-injured children should understand their rights before making educational decisions.Whether you're a parent navigating California's school system, an attorney interested in disability law, or simply curious about the legal landscape surrounding vaccine mandates, this episode offers an in-depth look at one of the most exciting new legal strategies in the medical freedom movement.In this episode, we cover:How California's CAIR-ME database changed vaccine exemptionsWhy the ADA supersedes conflicting state policiesThe difference between an ADA accommodation and a medical exemptionHow disability law applies to vaccine injuriesWho can evaluate someone under the ADAWhy federal law may provide protections beyond California regulationsThe role of ADA coordinators in schoolsPublic vs. private vs. religious schoolsWhat parents should know before requesting an accommodationThe legal strategy behind the ADA vaccine waiverFree Now Foundation's ongoing litigation to compel all schools to accept the ADA waiverTo learn more about Dr. Bill Lionberger's work, visit:https://frontlinehealthadvocates.com/Sponsor:The Alix Mayer Show is sponsored by Mish International, gold and silver specialists since 1963.When you need protection from monetary inflation and paper asset exposure, contact the trusted team at Mish International.

    What was really happening inside America's hospitals during COVID?In the most explosive episode yet of The Alix Mayer Show, trauma surgeon Dr. James Miller shares his firsthand account from inside the hospital that supposedly treated America's first reported COVID patient…and explains why the public was told a very different story than what he witnessed.Dr. Miller describes empty ICU beds while headlines warned hospitals were overwhelmed, hospital administrators pressuring physicians to follow protocols over clinical judgment, and the retaliation he faced after refusing to stay silent. He also recounts why he opened a free clinic to care for patients who struggled to access medical care because of their vaccination status.After years working as a trauma surgeon and surgical ICU physician, Dr. Miller says the COVID era exposed deep problems within modern healthcare, from financial incentives and bureaucracy to ethics, censorship, and institutional pressure. His story ultimately led him to walk away from his work as a surgeon.This interview offers a rare inside perspective from a front line physician who witnessed one of the most controversial chapters in modern medicine.In this episode, we cover:The hospital that claimed to have treated America's first reported COVID patientWhy media coverage didn't match what Dr. Miller saw first handEmpty ICUs despite reports hospitals were "overwhelmed"Hospital management that colluded with the media to scare the publicThe protocols that harmed patientsRetaliation against doctors who questioned hospital leadershipWhy physicians were pressured to "play ball"How vaccinated and unvaccinated patients were treated differentlyWhy he left trauma surgery after COVIDWhat must change to restore trust in medicineSponsor:The Alix Mayer Show is sponsored by Mish International, gold and silver specialists since 1963.When you need protection from monetary inflation and paper asset exposure, contact the trusted team at Mish International.

    In this powerful and heartbreaking episode of The Alix Mayer Show, Kayla Pollock, a former educator, animal trainer, and single mother, shares how her life changed forever after receiving a Moderna COVID-19 shot.Within days of her shot, Kayla began experiencing episodes of paralysis. Soon after, she woke up unable to move from the neck down. Today, she remains largely paralyzed, dependent on caregivers for basic daily tasks, and separated from the life she once knew.But Kayla's story doesn't end with her injury. As she struggled to access disability support in Canada's healthcare system, she says she was offered Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID)—not once, but multiple times. Instead of receiving the help she desperately needed to heal from her vaccine injury, Kayla found herself confronting a system that seemed more prepared to help her die than help her live.Kayla shares the devastating losses she has endured, including her career, her independence, and primary custody of her young son. She also discusses her ongoing lawsuit against Moderna, the challenges facing vaccine-injured Canadians, and the unexpected sources of strength that helped her keep going when she felt she had nothing left.In this episode, we cover:Kayla's life before her Moderna boosterThe onset of paralysis and her sudden quadriplegiaBeing told her symptoms were "psychiatric"The neurologist who linked her condition to the COVID vaccineLiving with paralysis, chronic pain, and loss of independenceLosing her career, home, and daily life with her sonCanada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) programWhy she says she was offered assisted death instead of supportCanada's vaccine injury compensation systemHer ongoing lawsuit against ModernaFinding purpose through advocacy and public testimonyWhat healthy people take for granted every dayThe message she wants the world to hearIf Kayla's story moves you, please share this episode and consider a donation to help her survive: https://www.givesendgo.com/help-kayla-pay-for-her-retired-service-dHer hope is that by speaking out, others can make informed decisions and understand the realities faced by those living with severe vaccine injuries.Sponsor:The Alix Mayer Show is sponsored by Mish International, gold and silver specialists since 1963.When you need protection from monetary inflation and paper asset exposure, contact the trusted team at Mish International.Visit: https://www.mishinternational.com/Call: 650-324-9110 — Tell them Alix sent you.► Subscribe to the podcast:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-alix-mayer-show/id1880123808Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7w3hgQsnH4HYtfJsu018TJConnect / Support:Learn more about Free Now Foundation and the fight for medical freedom:https://freenowfoundation.org/#AlixMayerShow #KaylaPollock #VaccineInjury #MedicalFreedom #MAID #Canada #CovidVaccine #Moderna #HealthFreedom #InformedConsent #FreeNowFoundation
