Smart Moms Ask Resource Center

A trusted hub for parents, caregivers, and concerned citizens seeking answers about mRNA vaccines. Find expert insights, practical tools, and real questions from real people — all to support informed consent and protect your family’s health.

We’ve already seen progress — including a recent policy shift at HHS to stop recommending mRNA shots for kids and pregnant women. But many questions remain, and the movement for truth and transparency is just beginning.

Want answers about mRNA vaccines? Our Q&A guide is clear, research-backed, and easy to share with anyone still in the dark about mRNA risks.

Smart Questions About mRNA Vaccines

  • Is COVID a serious risk for healthy children and pregnant women?

  • Which is riskier for children: Long COVID or the COVID vaccine?

  • If children get the COVID vaccine, will it actually protect them?

  • Is the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine safe for children?

Asking questions about mRNA vaccines isn’t radical — it’s responsible.

COVID may feel like it’s behind us, but many parents are only now starting to ask the mRNA questions they never got answers to.

“Moms have been bullied into accepting mRNA shots with devastating risks,” says Dr. Kat Lindley, IMA Fellowship Program Director and mother of five. “We’re uniting our voices to demand transparency and safety for our kids.”

What Our Doctors are Saying about mRNA

They’ve treated patients. They’ve studied the data. And they’ve spoken up.

These are not fringe voices — they’re highly credentialed physicians with years of experience in pediatrics, maternal health, immunology, and critical care. From day one, they’ve raised serious concerns about giving mRNA shots to children and pregnant women. In this video, Dr. Monica Wehby explains why asking questions isn’t just smart, it’s essential.

Our History of Advocacy

As an organization founded by frontline physicians during the COVID crisis, the Independent Medical Alliance (formerly known as the FLCCC Alliance) has been a consistent voice for medical integrity and patient-first ethics.

In October 2021, we joined thousands of physicians and scientists in signing the Physicians’ Declaration — calling for an end to coercive policies and for a return to evidence-based medicine.

Just weeks later, in November 2021, we publicly warned: “There is no scientific or moral basis on which to rush to vaccinate children and expose them to potential harm.”

Since then, we’ve hosted numerous webinars featuring leading clinicians, researchers, and public health experts to examine the data, challenge the narrative, and advocate for parental rights and true informed consent.
