Jennifer Schick, an independent author and real-life crime fighter for over 20 years, is thrilled to announce the release of “Episode 5: A Very Lunchie Holiday” from her children’s book series “Lunchbox Is On The Case!” This newest installment takes Lunchbox, an adventurously clever canine character, on an exciting journey of holiday festivities and familial warmth.

This heartwarming adventure begins when Lunchbox’s feline sister, Seven, goes missing, prompting Lunchbox to sniff out her whereabouts. Each neighbor’s home unveils a unique celebration, teaching valuable lessons about varying holiday customs, the importance of sharing, and kindness.

Inspired by Jennifer’s own adopted dog, Lunchbox, the series has earned a loyal fan base eager for every new release. This is the fifth book, following successful predecessors, such as the thrilling “The Jewel Thief.” Jennifer’s role as both a scribe and a crime fighter connects the series even more directly to its noble cause. Jennifer has pledged to donate 10% of all profits from the series to the Humane Society of Fairfax County, Virginia, the very place where Lunchbox was adopted. 

This latest addition to the series is available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble from Nov. 15. Jennifer continues to captivate her readers, not just with imaginative tales, but also by extending support to the silent voices through channeling the proceeds towards animal welfare.

Jennifer will also be reading from her book series at select locations in the area through the holiday season. The next reading will be on Nov. 11 at 12 p.m. at the Barnes and Noble in Woodbridge, VA. You can get more information about future readings at LunchboxIsOnTheCase.com.

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) has introduced two new educational documents, “Varicella (Chicken Pox): What Parents Need to Know” and “Varicella Vaccine: Is It Safer Than Chicken Pox?” The educational materials include key scientific data on the risks of chicken pox as well as the risks of the varicella vaccine, assisting parents in making a more informed risk-benefit calculation for vaccination.

“Now, more than ever, parents are motivated to learn more about the risks of childhood infections and their respective vaccines — and they want to know the numbers,” said Dr. Shira Miller, founder and president of Physicians for Informed Consent. “Although many parents remember from experience that chicken pox is generally benign, as the chicken pox vaccine is required for childcare and school attendance in all states, and with no religious or personal belief exemption in five states, including California, we’re pleased to now make available for free a Disease Information Statement and Vaccine Risk Statement for chicken pox.”

Important facts from the Varicella (Chicken Pox) Disease Information Statement (DIS) are as follows:

  • More than 96% of new varicella infections are benign (1) and not reported to public health departments.
  • Fatal cases of varicella are rare in the United States. Before the introduction of the varicella vaccination program, one in 40,000 or 0.003% of varicella cases were fatal.
  • Because varicella resolves on its own in almost all cases, usually only rest and hydration are necessary.
  • Immune globulin is available to treat immunocompromised patients who are exposed to chicken pox, such as those on chemotherapy.

Key facts from the Varicella (Chicken Pox) Vaccine Risk Statement (VRS) are as follows:

  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states, “It is not known how long a vaccinated person is protected against varicella.”
  • The Institute of Medicine has not ruled out the possibility that varicella vaccination can lead to stroke as well as several neurological and autoimmune disorders, including encephalopathy, cerebellar ataxia, transverse myelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, small fiber neuropathy, arthropathy, and thrombocytopenia.
  • A study published in The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal shows the varicella vaccine may cause permanent injury 44 times more often than fatal varicella.
  • The chicken pox (varicella) vaccine has not been proven safer than chicken pox.

To safeguard children’s health, parents need access to balanced educational information on infectious diseases and vaccines. PIC makes scientific data freely available through its education program, a growing collection of concise, reader-friendly educational materials that support parents, physicians, and policymakers in calculating the risk-benefit ratio of vaccination.
