Joshua Coleman is the father of a vaccine injured son. After a round of vaccines at 17 months his son became paralyzed from the waist down and was eventually diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis. It was confirmed at Johns Hopkins Hospital that his condition was a direct result of vaccination. As a filmmaker, Joshua has married his craft with his activism, with the goal to educate others and give them the information he should have been given before vaccinating his son. In 2019, Joshua Coleman and Olivia Mikos founded V is for Vaccine as censorship of information, individuals, groups and social media platforms began to drastically increase. Joshua and Olivia’s years of creative collaboration together, coupled with their drive to break through barriers, culminated in the brainstorming and inception of this campaign. The goal was to bypass the mainstream and social media censorship, and educate the public on important truths about the vaccine program; truths that everyone has the right to know before making the decision to vaccinate.

Lynn Davenport is an education researcher and advocate out of Dallas, Texas. She covers ed-tech, data mining, public-private partnerships, and lack of transparency in the educational departments and agencies charged with creating policies and performance standards in the Texas Board of Education and local ISD’s. Lynn exposes fraud and misconceptions that keep parents out of the loop and unable to protect their children, and she gives actionable insights to reverse these scenarios. Lynn is also a mother herself.

Dr. Lauren Deville is board-certified to practice medicine in the State of Arizona. She received her NMD from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, AZ, and she holds a BS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics from the University of Arizona, with minors in Spanish and Creative Writing. She also loves yoga, piano, and good audiobooks. She writes fiction under a pen name in her spare time (click here to visit her author website), and she maintains a movie review blog with her cinephile husband (click here to visit their blog). Dr. Lauren came to naturopathic medicine in a roundabout way. When she was fifteen, her father died of cancer, after which she planned to devote her life to cancer research. But she quickly discovered that research was not for her. Years later she planned to attend traditional (“allopathic”) medical school, but she was frustrated by her volunteer experience, which seemed to consist only of treating symptoms, rather than searching for and addressing underlying causes. She stumbled upon SCNM almost by accident, but the moment she walked in the doors of her future medical school, she knew that this was what she had been searching for all along.  She considers herself incredibly blessed to have found a career that is also a calling.

Elana Freeland is a writer, teacher, and lecturer who researches and writes on Deep State issues. She is best known for Chemtrails, HAARP, and the Full Spectrum Dominance of Planet Earth (Feral House, June 2014) and Under An Ionized Sky: From Chemtrails to Space Fence Lockdown (Feral House, February 2018). She has now finished her much awaited Geoengineered Transhumanism: How the Environment Has Been Weaponized by Chemicals, Electromagnetics, & Nanotechnology for Synthetic Biology. Elana came of age in the eye of the Sixties maelstrom. Her 4-book series Sub Rosa America: A Deep State History exposes the hidden history of America since President John F. Kennedy’s televised assassination. (An 80-page bibliography of some of what she read in order to write the series can be found at elanafreeland.com.) In 2017, she wrote the story “What Would Solon Have Done?” for the book If I Were King: Advice for President Trump, edited by Harry Blazer with an Introduction by Catherine Austin Fitts. She is still trying to escape from Olympia, Washington.

Known fondly as the “Data Dude,” Karl Kanthak brings a powerful combination of experience, intelligence, and a charismatic skillset to open hearts and minds. He is a lifelong educator and elected school board official specializing in the inaccurate data being used to restrict citizen access to both public, taxpayer supported, and private education. His activities include being a patient safety advocate for preventing medical errors, unnecessary treatment, and undesirable pharmaceutical interactions. He has been defending the personal and religious exemptions in Washington State since 2019, and his advocate testimony has been sought after all over the country. Other projects include educating Health Care Providers about the identification of Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Associated Disability and Gadolinium Deposition Disease as potential causes when confronting idiopathic illnesses.

Diane McBride is a native Tucson and has lived here most of her life. She has had many careers, from admin to advertising, from truck driver to blackjack dealer. Her most recent path has been training and practice as a functional health coach, helping people navigate the path to greater resilience and confidence. She discovered the work of Mattias Desmet during the pandemic season and found it was an important framework for understanding baffling human behavior.

Heather Meyers is a doctor’s wife, a homeschooling dance mom to four children, an animal nursery leader, and a poop and rock farmer who is dipping her toes into regenerative agriculture. She is also a doula and teaches private music lessons in person and online having taught private music lessons for over twenty years. She chooses to teach privately to be home with her children during their formative years. Her greatest hope and goal is for her children to grow up healthy and strong. Heather holds a bachelor’s degree in Music Education K-12 from the University of Utah and studied education psychology and violin. Before attending the U of U, Heather attended Salt Lake Community College as a recipient to Scholarships in both Music Theory and Harmony and as a choir piano accompanist for their concert choir. Heather shares her personal experiences that woke her up to the possible dangers and harm vaccines may cause, as well as the deep regret, isolation and rejection mothers of vaccine injured children experience. Wanting these mothers to have a voice and feel her support that they are not alone, Heather has written a musical about one mother’s struggle with the repercussions of vaccine injury. The musical is based off of her own story and the stories of two of her friends whose children were also harmed. Heather believes the messages from this work can be a powerful catalyst to open the minds and hearts of those who have not yet listened to the message that vaccines can cause harm.

Peter Norquest is an affiliated scholar at the University of Arizona’s School of Anthropology. He is a historical linguist whose research focuses on the Southeast Asian language area, particularly Kra-Dai and Austronesian. His book, A Phonological Reconstruction of Proto-Hlai, is a revised and updated version of his 2007 dissertation, and is a comprehensive account of Hlai language prehistory and phylogeny using data collected during fieldwork performed on Hǎinán in 2003-2004. He has authored and co-authored several articles on Kra-Dai and Austronesian comparative phonology, and is currently preparing a phonological reconstruction of Proto-Kra-Dai in cooperation with the Center for Research in Computational Linguistics, Inc.

Matt Novak, Ph.D., has been an engineer working in the technology sector since 1997. His background in Physics (B.S., Virginia Tech, Summa Cum Laude) and Optical Sciences (Ph.D., University of Arizona) has enabled him to solve problems in medical device development, space instrument development, and commercial and consumer electronics product development. He has served as an individual contributor and inventor for multiple patents and at the director level for technology creation, and as proprietor of a successful consulting company serving clients such as Texas Instruments and Johnson & Johnson.

Matt’s experience over the past 25+ years has helped him build a unique perspective on the seemingly global and endless drive to create new technology. With that perspective, he is now working to share a warning for us all as we step toward the future.

Irene Pi has nearly four decades of experience, starting with the San Francisco Aids Foundation, working with legislators across the nation to preserve liberty rights and informed consent.

Irene has helped coordinate protests at the CDC as well as our nation’s Capitol, organizing a legislative lobby day with participants traveling from across the country to meet one-on-one with Federal Representatives and Senators exclusively to discuss the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, the exploding vaccine schedule and the need for greater transparency.

Irene has a no-nonsense, friendly approach and is committed to having sensible dialog regarding this heated topic. She works at a national level with other state leaders as well as with local constituents and legislators alike to ensure Arizona exemption laws and the Parents’ Bill of Rights are never compromised.

Most recently, she was the AZ State Director of the National Vaccine Information Center, a title she held for three years, now moving on to other endeavors.

Over the past few decades, John J. Slattery’s mission has been stewardship of local plant knowledge, supporting the dynamic heritage of traditional herbal practice in the Sonoran desert region, and exploring healing through ancestral heritage. His work is a reflection of years of direct relationship with the wild plants of the American Southwest and northern Mexico, traditional knowledge shared with him by indigenous elders and healers, clinical training in herbalism and nutrition, ancestral skills, and a deep desire to reconnect people to Nature. John offers experiential educational opportunities through his annual Bioregional Herbalist Apprenticeship, and Foraging in the Sonoran Desert course. John is the owner of local businesses, including Desert Tortoise Botanicals and Desert Forager.

At thirty-four and only weeks after his second child was born, Jonathan Wood was fighting a different kind of enemy. Diagnosed with Stage 3B colon cancer, the former member of 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment with Special Operations Command approached this engagement with the same intelligence and skill he took into the battlefield. In an exclusive and expanded interview, he shares his unique journey with the disease that threatened to take his life offering hope and empowerment to those facing the same challenge and inspiration to those who simply desire better health.
