And then came the head banging, the constant banging against anything that he could find.

Well, so I think it's really important to remember that I was extremely pro-vaccine.

I was into the point where, you know, I'd really been groomed as a young child in a British school that, you know, you obey authority, you don't question people who are brighter than you, which means if you are really, really bright and you're a really good girl, you'll grow up and be a lawyer or a doctor.

So, I mean, I went to France, bought an organic crib for my child.

I did all of the things to be the perfect mummy, but I didn't think once to question.

And even when a friend of mine said, on the day there's this doctor saying there's something wrong with the MMR, I, you know, I kind of, to this day, we've still fallen out because she, I said, why would I question, why would I question a doctor over you?

A doctor has a medical degree.

I don't have a medical degree.

So I think it's important people know that because they throw anti-vax at us out the whole time.

And you really can't call us anti-vaxxers because we vaccinate ourselves and our kids.

We are ex-vaxxers.

set the scene for us you're traveling the country with the vaxxed movie um you're touring what did you find i mean really so the following vaxxed um we dal and myself because andy was traveling around europe promoting it there and dal was very much um into the uh politicians really good at doing the politicians and i was taking the parents stories because they recognized um

billy's story was in vax and they recognized from that something in their own child so it was the first time that these parents including myself had a voice for our children for years you know every time we go to the doctor or wherever we go it's you're slammed down that it's not the vaccine you're ridiculous you're mad off you go and so this is what happened following back because we decided to get a bus and we traveled around

And this is where it really hit us.

And I have to say this is the best education I've ever had in my entire life.

And I'm pretty sure the people watching on Periscope would say the same thing.

I mean, I knew the MMR was a problem.

I had no idea that babies died after four months of vaccinations.

I had no idea about the HPV Gardasil that was shutting down the ovaries of these people or the crippled children, the children in wheelchairs, the paralysis.

I mean, we'd never seen anything like it.
