Excerpt from a review about VAXXED that I wrote for Blissful Moments Doula blog today: “First of all, why would we cover a movie review of VAXXED: From Cover Up to Catastrophe on a doula blog?

Sorry Candace Cameron Bure
I Am Sorry Candace Cameron Bure Why do I say “I Am Sorry Candace Cameron?” Because Christians eat their own alive. When I say “Christians,” I am speaking to those who say they are Christians, but who are judging others and being hypocritical with their actions.
