Jackie Schlegel - Texans For Medical Freedom Joins Houston's Morning News

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Some event me three our time here in Houston's Morning News.
We used to laugh about the measles. It's not really
a laughing matter anymore. We'd bet brother, our kids don't
get it. Jackie Schlegel joins US Texans for Medical Freedom.
I mentioned some possible causes why measles might be on
the rise. You know, undocumented immigrants who have didn't get vaccinated. People,

(00:21):
you know, the anti vaccine crowd, people who don't trust
the CDCs. It's some of the above, none of the above.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
What do you think, Well, good morning. You know. I
do think at the end of the day, these things
do happen, and I trust our local medical professionals, our doctors,
and our parents to come together and to have these
discussions and then make the medical decisions for our children.

(00:47):
I do not believe that this is the role of
the CDC or anybody else. We've got to be having
these conversations in our doctor's offices and making the best
decision for our children. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
I think the CDC had a lot of it is
like bad public relations as a related to COVID. They
destroyed their credibility with a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Oh one thousand percent. We were you know, masking two
year old children. They told us masks don't work. They
do work. Everybody needs them. You know, there were so
many things the shutdowns. People lost their livelihood, their careers.
And I absolutely think we are at a turning point
right now where parents and the American people are saying, hey,

(01:30):
you know, is the information they are putting out there
is an actor? Can I trust them? I think the
trust has been broken. I don't know that that can
be easily undone.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, vaccines for measles and moms and child their diseases
have been around for a long long time. Do you
have any concerns over them.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Look, what I have concerns of is the seventy eight
doses of vaccines, and I think that's what most parents are.
If you listen to what RFK Junior is saying, you
think I'm not anti vac scene. What I want is
parents who have access to clear science that's free from
conflict of interest, that you know is sound. And I

(02:12):
want parents to have a choice. They want to go
into their doctors' offices and they don't want to be bullied,
they don't want to be mandated. They are smarter than that.
They can make the best decisions for their children. And
I think at the end of the day, we know
mandates do not work. So I stand with Texans who
want to make informed medical decisions for their children.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Be old enough to remember measles parties, Jackie. I am
when when parents used to get kids with measles together
with other kids to get the thing over and done with.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I think my generation was more along the lines of
the chicken pox parties. I don't remember any measles parties,
and you know, I just think again coming back to
parents need to be having these conversations with their doctors.
The mandates don't work. Parents can make the best decision
for their children when they have access to clear bias

(03:08):
science science, And I stand with President Trump R. K. Junior,
who are saying that's the direction we need to go.
We are on the path to make America healthy again.
That starts with informed consent. Informed consent is the risk
and the benefits in the ability to choose without consequence.

(03:32):
This is incredibly important if you are being forced, if
you are being bullied, if you are being pushed and
backed into a corner where you feel like you don't
have a choice, that is not informed consent and it
does not work, and we saw that with COVID.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
I agree, Jackie, thank you so much for joining US today.
Do appreciate it. Texans for Medical Freedom, Jackie Schlegel
