Hi! I'm Mike. I'm an author, scientist, and teacher. Yes, and the guy who tossed away his 20+ year career as a molecular biologist for choosing to not take the jab. I share unfiltered insights on Jesus, health, and our right to medical freedom. Knowledge is crucial to gaining

Never in a million years did I think that I would take a critical look at all vaccines and decide that neither myself nor my family would take one again. And I have experience in virology and immunology. Yet, here I am. Not an anti-vaxxer, but an ex-vaxxer. Not a denier,

Allow me to introduce myself. I am a former scientist who stood up and declined to take the vaccine. My approximately 20-year career, most of which was in pharma and biotech came to an end Oct of last year. Since then, I’ve been fighting back. #Truth #Courage

I was given an ultimatum. Take it or be terminated. I remained steadfast and decided against. I lost my job, career and more. 20 years worth of work. Many long days, nights and even weekends spent in the lab. A masters degree from a supposedly prestigious university. None

People were required, coerced, misled and threatened into taking vaccines. Others were ostracized, shamed and impoverished for refusing. We were defamed and demonetized for discussing it. The injured were heartlessly gaslit. But no one was physically forced. That’s what they mean

I worked for a top infectious disease doctor who studied under Fauci at NIH. I worked for multiple pharmaceutical companies. I worked for a contract research organization (CRO). I worked for a biotech company. I had the audacity to question the “vaccines” but I don’t know of

Do you consider not taking the Covid vaccine to be one of the best decisions in your life? I do 👋

I didn't just lose my job. I lost my entire career, 20 years worth of hard work. One thing that is important to understand is that many of us who lost our jobs due to declining vaccine mandates are now effectively ostracized from our prior industries. They want nothing to do

I respect everyone’s decisions. Whether they took the vaccine or not. It’s up to you. I made my own choice. What I am upset about is how many of those who took it, including my old coworkers, stood by and did nothing while millions of us had our lives turned upside down.

The “vaccine” wasn’t for the “virus”, the “virus” was for the “vaccine”. The “tests” (PCR, antibody, antigen) weren’t for the “virus”, the “virus” was for the “tests”. These techniques and technologies were already in place but they needed something to bring them into the

I can hardly believe some of the things I’m hearing from others who declined to take the covid vaccine and lost literally everything. I gave up a lot when I did not comply and was terminated. My family’s lives were turned upside down and we are still reeling from it almost 2

Two years ago today… My last day. Terminated for not complying with a jab mandate. Still hard to fathom what they did. Turned my life upside down. Job gone. Career gone. A lot of ups and downs since. Grateful for the support I’ve received. Especially from my wife and
