This story was written by Avery’s mom.
Don’t all moms vaccinate their kids? That’s what they do, right? No questions
asked. We just vaccinate our kids because you’re supposed to. Or so I thought.
My son Avery was born in 2004 and was vaccinated on the CDC’s schedule through
the age of 13 months. After every vaccine appointment, the physical and
emotional changes in my child were unmistakable. Hescreamed for hours. Blood
curdling, horrific screaming. Screaming so long and so hard he would nearly pass
out. After every vaccine appointment, he developed hard, bloody stool. Rashes
that covered his whole body. Ear infections. Sensory problems. Refusal to nurse.
Refusal to sleep. Refusal to just be.
I was a first time mom and had no idea this wasn’t normal baby stuff. No one
told me it’s not normal for your baby to recoil in horror when you touch him.
It’s not normal for a baby to start crying the moment a stranger looks at them.
At my lowest point, I contemplated killing him, or killing myself, or killing
both of us. I look back upon those days with extreme shame, and try to imagine
myself being poisoned to the point of losing my mind, how that must feel, how he
must have felt, and wondering why no one had ever told me this was a
possibility. I feel extreme guilt, extreme sadness, extreme emotions over a
period of my life I am least proud of.
“I don’t want to mention the A-word just yet, but…”
…were the words Avery’s pediatrician used at his 18 month appointment. I stared
at her, mouth open, wondering how any person could be so cruel. The “A-word”?
Really?
Only once I researched it did I learn it was not normal for a toddler to scream
for hours on end for seemingly no reason. It was not normal that he had never
tried to speak, never waved, never pointed, and spent the majority of his time
staring at ceiling fans. Don’t all kids shriek like they are being burned when
you set them down in the grass? Don’t all toddlers flap their arms and run on
their tippy-toes?
At the ped’s office, he was quickly diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder
and a speech delay. I did the typical recommended therapies with our local First
Steps program. But, he got progressively worse at an alarming rate. Our
Occupational Therapist, after another 40 minute screaming session, snarled at
me, “What you have here is a very unhappy child.”
One month before his third birthday, I took Avery in for an official autism
evaluation. For two days, he screamed and cried and thrashed his way around the
evaluation center. On the second day, I finally had a meeting with the
psychologist, and could hear Avery wailing in the next room. The psychologist
bustled into the room and almost gleefully proclaimed, “They’re just getting him
cleaned up….. Don’t be alarmed, all autistic kids throw up a lot!”
Autism. The “A-word.” My mind went to mush. My absolute first thought was for my
husband. He’ll never be able to play baseball with his son. In that second, with
those callous words of a stranger, his life seemed to be over – before it ever
had a chance to begin.
I was devastated. I’ll admit it – I wanted a “normal” child. I wanted kids like
my nieces and nephews, all “perfect” and uncomplicated. I cried a lot. I mostly
cried in my shower so no one would hear me, letting the huge, mind-numbing sobs
overcome me. After that – I got mad! Why Avery? Why ME? Autism isn’t something I
signed up for! And after I was done being pissed – I got active. Fine. Let’s do
this thing.
At first Avery attended a developmental preschool and made little progress. I
left him screaming at the door and picked him back up screaming at the same
door. My days were filled with a screaming toddler who wanted nothing and
everything and nothing all at the same time. Finally, a friend suggested ABA
therapy as a replacement for the school. I told the school I was leaving, and
they laughed and told me that ABA was “dog training” and advised me not to do
it.
We began ABA therapy at a center. I made the 1 ½ hour drive every single day for
18 months. Almost immediately, we saw a change in Avery. I felt like I could
breathe for the first time in his life. We also began an intensive biomedical
program with Avery and addressed many of his nutritional deficiencies, which
helped open the pathways for the ABA to do its job.
The screaming began to lessen. The obsessive behaviors started to disappear. And
within six months, Avery spoke his first word, just a few months before his
fourth birthday. It was 6 weeks after we had started chelation to remove heavy
metals from his body. As I was sitting on the porch with my mother, he walked up
to her, put his hand on her leg, and said “Grandma” like it was the most normal
thing in the world. I nearly died in that moment. It was working. He was
recovering.
With the help of many biomedical interventions and intensive ABA therapy, I
began to realize that I no longer feared taking Avery into the store because of
a meltdown. I no longer avoided birthday parties and public swimming pools and
only then realized how much of life we had avoided because of the “A-word.”
This year, Avery entered 4th grade in a mainstream classroom with no aide. He’s
now completely unassisted during the day. He’s made a special friend there and
they have very serious, intense debates about Super Mario Brothers. He talks
about his day with me. He tries. Sometimes painfully so. Sometimes I ask him a
question and can literally see him formulating the words so hard in his head. I
can almost hear him, Please be patient with me, as I try to speak, as I try to
figure out this world around me… Please…..I’m trying.
Avery still has more recovery ahead of him. But he’s Avery. He likes video games
and his Razor scooter and waterslides. He laughs at fart jokes. He tells me I’m
funny.
We have been able to overcome much of what vaccines tried to steal from him.
From us.
The Greater Good can’t have my child.

"When my daughter was a baby (1996), I was watching on Cspan or one of those
channels a hearing about vaccines and autism. It really clicked with me. I felt
there was a connection. I continued to vaccinate. My daughter didn’t speak or
potty train until she was 5. We took her to a Child developmental specialist and
was told she had Asperger’s and Adhd. We got another opinion and he said she
just had ADHD and speech problems. We took her to Univ. of Wash and had her
tested and they said she just had speech delays. We got her into speech and
occupational therapy and today she is pretty normal. She was hitting her
milestones until she about 16 months. I don’t know if it was vaccinations or the
RSV virus that she got at that time.
My son came along and he was hitting his milestones. He was normal, engaged, a
rambunctious boy. Then at 15 months we got vaccinations (Year 2000. He received
Tetanus, Oral Trivalent Polio, Hib Type B, MMR). It took a few months for the
change. And it was so subtle. I didn’t even catch it. First his eyes started to
cross. Of course they told us it was muscle problem. I have since learned that
it is a nerve problem sometimes caused by vaccinations. As I remembered back, I
didn’t even really catch all the changes. But now when I look back at pictures,
it is glaringly obvious. He got this remote look in his eyes. He went from being
a clown in photos, to just looking out in space. In preschool he wouldn’t
participate, he would just sit there in his own world. In kindergarten, he
showed no sense of personal space. He would get under the desk and bark like a
dog. He would use the other kids heads as braces when standing up.
In 1st-3rd grade, he was bullied by his schoolmates. The teachers would tell him
to just go somewhere else, he would and they would follow. They knew how to get
him and then he’d react and get into trouble. There was one kids who went around
stealing things off others desks. The teachers solution was to just let him do
it and then she’d go back into his desk and get the item. He would steal
something from my son, and my son would scream and throw a fit. And then when
the teacher talked to us, it would be about my sons reaction to the other kid.
He started reacting to the bullying by hitting. At one point I talked to the
doctor and he put him on Concerta for adhd. For months he had hallucinations. I
didn’t figure out that is what was going on until it became unbearable for him.
I started researching the medication and immediately stopped it. I took him to a
psychiatrist thinking he’d talk and help him with the emotions etc. I didn’t
know the difference between a therapist and a psychiatrist. He just diagnosed
him as having bipoler disorder, anxiety and adhd. He prescribed him Abilify
(which isn’t even approved of for children), sertraline (zoloft) and strattera.
He became combative, angry, agressive, more emotional, started soiling his pants
at school, obsessively licking his lips and then got whole body shakes/tremors.
He couldn’t sit still at all. The other kids in his class became afraid of him.
The answer to the soiling of the pants (from the psych.) was to give him
Metemucil at night so he’d go in the morning. To me that wasn’t finding the
answer. I didn’t do it. With each new symptom, the doc wanted to up the dosages.
I took him off all meds and removed him from the doctors care. I researched the
meds and found that abilify cause most of his symptoms, and causes Tardive
Dyskenesia (whole body tremors/shakes) which can be permanent. Luckily it wasn’t
in his case. It also causes tic disorders, which his lip licking has since been
diagnosed as a tic disorder. The other two medicines had their own set of bad
reactions. One of them being mania in patient who are also taking Abilify and
who are bipoler. I wondered why he was prescribed these two meds together when
he supposedly was bipoler. I finally got him into see a neuro psych. doctor who
did intensive testing and found he is high functioning autistic, has a tick
disorder (lip licking) caused by the medications and a type of anxiety that is
not fixed by medications but is fixed by positive reinforcement. He doesn’t have
bipoler disorder, anxiety or adhd. After getting his diagnosis, I put him on a
regimine of vitamins and minerals and he has improved alot.
He is twelve now. We still have to tell him everyday how to get ready for
school. We have to follow him around and keep him on track. We can’t just give
him an order to go clean up or whatever, we have to go with him and tell him
every little thing that needs done. His memory is about 3 seconds. If he has
something to say, and we are trying to get his attention for something else or
it isn’t the right time, he will practically burst trying to hold his thoughts
in. He says everything he is thinking whenever he is thinking it. His topic of
conversation is the only topic according to him. According to him “we are
wasting his time” when we have something for him to do whether it is chores or
homework. He has a few friends, mostly younger than him. A has a couple of
friends who have stood by him throughout all of his trials. He is able to get on
his bike and go to his friends house or school, but I do not let him go around
alot of traffic. Eventhough he has alot of problems, he is so much better now
than he used to be. We see small improvements every day.
Throughout all these years not one doctor ever said I should have him tested.
From pre-school to 4th grade not one teacher said I should have him tested. We
even lived with my cousin, who is a therapist, for 6 months and she never said I
should have him tested. It wasn’t until 4th grade when he was going through all
the medication symptoms that a teacher said she thought he might have Tourettes.
Another special ed teacher said that he might have a processing disorder and
that is what prompted me to have him tested. After going through his life in my
head and looking at the before and after pictures, I am convinced it was caused
by his vaccinations.

“He never treated anyone differently. Everyone was a friend.”
“He taught me that the sky’s the limit, rules are meant to be broken, and to be
open minded.”
“Sarcastic and he could insult you without you even knowing you had been
insulted but it was all in fun.”
“He enjoyed life and he had fun, he loved being around people but was just as
comfortable being by himself.”
From Christopher's mom:
This is what Christopher’s friends said when I asked them to describe him.
I saw him as my little boy, the one who loved to build, draw, read.. playing and
listening to music, skiing, golfing and with a huge thirst for knowledge. He
could debate any subject: politics, religion, classic rock, environmental
issues, or architecture… he loved it all.
He studied environmental law at Westminster College for one year but decided he
didn’t want to be a lawyer. He said there were too many rules; he wanted to use
his creativity and pursue a degree in his first love, architecture. So he
transferred to Utah State University in August 2009. On October 15, 2009 he flew
to Oregon with his dad to look at schools. He wanted to start with a civil
engineering degree and then pursue a degree in architecture with an emphasis in
sustainable architecture. They returned home on October 18th.
Christopher had always been healthy; if he got a bug it was usually gone within
a day or two. He was very active in sports. His doctor visits were mainly well
check ups and no issues had ever come up. He had his childhood vaccines. They
were delayed but he did receive them, but he never had a flu vaccine.
We had discussed the regular flu vaccine and 2009 H1N1 vaccine. He wanted my
opinion, I told him to not worry about the regular flu vaccine since he had
never had a problem with cold or flu bugs. We were both unsure about the H1N1
vaccine. He was right in the age group that was most susceptible: college
student, campus living and around a lot of people. I left it up to him.
On October 19th he called to say he had decided to get the vaccine and went to
the local health department. He received the H1N1 Flumist vaccine. On November
4th he sent a message to his girlfriend that he felt like crap but the next day
he sent another message that he felt a lot better and just had a little sore
throat. He commented one time to me that he felt tired but he thought it was
from staying up late and studying (or playing games or his guitar).
On November 19th, Christopher spent the evening with his friends. He talked to
his dad around 10 p.m. about their plans to ski over Thanksgiving weekend. He
talked to his girlfriend on Skype until about 3 a.m. One friend tried to
convince him to stay up and watch a movie but he said he was tired and was going
to bed.
November 20th, Christopher was supposed to pick his girlfriend up at the
Frontrunner station and when he didn’t show up and she couldn’t reach him she
called one of his friends who called me. I called his roommate who found him. He
had passed away in his sleep.
That was the day my world stopped.
We spoke with the medical examiner about his medical history several times over
the next two months looking for a cause. The only thing that was out of the
ordinary was the vaccine. She called us on February 10th to say she thought the
cause of death would be “unknown” but they were going to do one more test on his
heart. (I remember the date. Christopher’s birthday is February 11th).
We finally received the autopsy results in mid-February 2010. Cause of death:
Viral Myocarditis. The medical examiner said it was the “flu” he had in October.
I reminded her he had not had the flu; it was the vaccine he had in October. I
asked her to check for something in the vaccine. She said it had been too long
and they would be unable to isolate it down that far.
The thing that sticks in my mind is when I was told by someone from The United
States Health Resources and Services Administration that the vaccine cannot
cause the flu but may cause flu-like symptoms while the immune system is
reacting to the vaccine. Flu-like symptoms are a common symptom of Myocarditis.
I hear about so many young healthy people passing away from unknown causes and I
wonder how many of these “unknowns” are actually Myocarditis. I also hear about
young healthy people collapsing from an undetected heart condition. Is this an
undetected condition of Myocarditis? So many questions and not enough answers.
How many of these reactions are caused by an adverse reaction to a vaccine? So
much information is withheld from a parent… they never make the connection.
In Christopher’s case I believe it was the vaccine that triggered the
Myocarditis, but I also believe there are many medical issues that can be
triggered by an adverse reaction to a vaccine.
I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, he was my little boy.
VaxTruth would like to thank Christopher’s parents for allowing us to share his
story. For more information on death associated with the flu vaccine, please see

Death by Flu Shot. 7 Year-Old Receives Flu Shot; Dies 4 Days Later
http://vaxtruth.org/2014/
"8/20/14 Today started with me seeing several posts on my facebook feed of my
old friends’ kids first day of Kindergarten. This was a group of ladies I worked
with at Madison Center for Children, a mental health facility for kids. I was a
Case Manager and felt led to that particular job after several years in the
non-profit field. Looking back, I really thought I was there to help kids at
this facility who had mental health issues and disorders. Hopefully I did! But
now I know that God was also using the situation to prepare me for my own child.
He can see what I could have never ever imagined.
There were three other moms who were friends of mine at Madison Center and
pregnant at the same time I was pregnant with Devin. I had just suffered two
miscarriages back-to-back before Devin’s pregnancy and was honestly terrified of
his pregnancy and the possibility of anything happening to the baby I was
carrying. After my second miscarriage I transferred to a high-risk pregnancy
OBGYN who ran some tests and I discovered I have a blood clotting disorder
called Factor V Leiden. Because of my age, I began taking Clomid to conceive and
also Progesterone to assist in the pregnancy. Because of the Factor V I was also
given a low-dose baby aspirin daily regimen the first trimester. In addition to
that, I was Rh Negative meaning my blood type did not match my husband’s. I had
a long conversation with my nurse at the time and felt a lot of pressure to take
the Rhogam shot. I was told of the risk of DEATH of my unborn baby if I didn’t
get the shot. I wanted to think about it and talk to my husband before taking
it, but I was told that there was a window of time to take the shot and I might
not be able to get it in time. I did not know that I could have most likely not
taken the shot without any adverse effects on my baby. I was faced with that
word death after two miscarriages and I got the shot. During the entire
pregnancy with Devin I continued to work at Madison Center for Children with
many daily stressors of and from patients. During this time I also had to get a
TB test for employment.
Because of my age, tests were done early on and it was recommended that we also
have an amnio test done. We refused the amnio because it carried a risk for
miscarriage and told them we declined and would welcome our baby no matter what.
The tests came back with no markers for Down’s Syndrome and we were told
everything looked normal and our baby was presumably healthy! The same day we
got the results back we also had another ultrasound that gave us the news that
we were having a baby BOY! I will always remember that day as one of the
happiest days of my entire life. I did everything in my ability to have a
healthy pregnancy. I didn’t smoke, drink, do drugs of any kind, not even over
the counter cold medicines. I ate mostly salads and vegetables for lunch,
stopped drinking diet drinks, didn’t eat seafood and wouldn’t even eat lunch
meat because of a small risk of Listeria. I was still secretly afraid of still
birth because friends I had made with Factor V had that happen to them. I was
determined to do everything in my power to have a healthy, happy baby. I started
getting terrible headaches, but other than that it was a normal pregnancy. The
headaches were so bad at times I couldn’t function at work. I had to stop
working at work because I couldn’t look at the computer screen. Sometimes the
pain was so bad I cried. But I didn’t take time off. I took very little OTC pain
medicine (Tylenol and Ibuprofen) trying to tough it out. It turns out I was
really anemic and I was put on iron supplements. The iron didn’t help the
headaches very much and I continued to get them frequently.
Because my first child resulted in an emergency cesarean, Devin’s birth was to
be a planned C-section. His ultrasound due date was Christmas Eve! His scheduled
delivery date was set for December 18, but my water broke and Devin was born
December 7, 2008 right before midnight. His birth was unusually quiet with no
screaming or crying. This sometimes happens with cesarean births, but his
silence was longer than usual. They took him and I waited and there was no
noise, no sound. The doctor was trying to tell me something but I couldn’t hear
him. I was trying to get the nurses attention and kept asking, “What’s wrong?
Why isn’t he crying?” It turns out what the doctor was trying to tell me was
that I was hemorrhaging and might need to have an emergency hysterectomy! I
didn’t even hear him and didn’t find that out until the following day because I
was so worried about Devin. Eventually he would cry, but it was short lived. He
was the easiest going baby! He rarely cried, not even to be fed or changed. He
was just always content. He never pulled away and enjoyed affection, but was
just not ever upset. The nurses noted I was under anesthesia and drugs that
could have an effect on Devin. Also, not going through the birth canal could
keep a baby from crying out at their birth. I was also under heavy medication
(morphine type) while I breastfed him.
Devin had the HepB shot not long after he was born as is the current vaccine
schedule. He also had jaundice and had to have light therapy for it. I didn’t
know exactly what jaundice was and that it was related to the liver….as is the
HepB vaccine. I do not know if the HepB vaccine caused or contributed to the
jaundice or if the HepB vaccine caused his autism because his liver and immune
system was already compromised from the jaundice. I do believe this was the
first assault on his system after his birth. His first noticeable vaccine
reaction however came at the 2-month round of vaccines on February 9, 2009. On
this day, he had Hib (HbOC), Pneumo (PCV), Rotavirus, and a multi-vaccine called
Pediarix that contains [Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis
Adsorbed, Hepatitis B (Recombinant) and Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine
Combined]. After coming home from this well visit and being vaccinated, he woke
from a short nap screaming and crying this terrible screeching sounding scream
like he was in excruciating pain. He had a high fever, rash and terrible
diarrhea. I tried to console him, nurse him, but the screaming continued. I
called his dad at work, something I never did. His dad was alarmed and upset. I
called his pediatrician and spoke with the nurse on duty. She was also alarmed
and seemed frantic to get the doctor’s advice and was very concerned. Her
complete tone changed though when she got back on the line after speaking with
the doctor. She relayed to me that the doctor said it could not be the vaccines
he had received that day because they were safe and he must have a virus or
something unrelated. I was told to, “wait and see” and if conditions got worse I
could take him to the ER. I was told to give Tylenol for the fever and I did. I
alternated Tylenol with ibuprofen. The high-pitched screaming continued all that
day and I called a friend who also couldn’t believe it was Devin making that
noise. That night he was still crying, but had calmed some. He had diarrhea and
the fever into the next day.
Whenever I brought up vaccines and my concerns with them my doctor discounted
every fear I had. He told me that vaccines were 100% safe and effective and my
fears were unfounded. He recalled a doctor, Dr. Wakefield who was the only one
who related vaccines to autism and told me that his work was not only debunked,
but that he had his medical license stripped because of his fraud! I was made to
feel foolish for being afraid of vaccines over the months that I brought them
up. I didn’t know the facts at the time surrounding Dr. Wakefield or Poul
Thorsen. But I did in fact feel foolish for listening to the Jenny McCarthy’s
who were obviously not credible. My doctor calmed my fears at some level, but
there was never a time that I wasn’t torn between giving them to save my son
from terrible diseases, and not giving them at all to save him from the effects
of the vaccines themselves. At times I would get afraid of news reports of
illnesses being reported. At one time I literally stood in line in Michigan in
freezing rain to get Devin the h1n1 vaccine because the news was so scary
talking about possibility of several deaths of the young and elderly. I couldn’t
let anything happen to him.
Devin had anemia when he was a baby and we gave him iron supplements. The
supplements caused constipation issues. Devin also had problems with his white
blood cells and we were sent to Hematology/Oncology for tests. The first tests
were not good, but the second tests came back okay and we were told that he was
fine. Devin met his developmental milestones, although he lacked facial emotion
fairly early on. He did smile and laugh and remained an incredibly easy-going
baby. But his reactionary emotions were not there. The same ladies that I was
pregnant at the same time with would meet with me periodically for play dates
with their babies. Inevitably their little ones would cry, throw a fit, even
have a tantrum. Never Devin. He sat like a little gentleman, looking around,
seemingly engaged but never getting emotional. There was a noticeable difference
between my baby and theirs and I actually felt sorry for them, watching them get
frustrated or embarrassed because their child was screaming or making a scene at
the mall or other public place. Devin had a calm. He had a sweetness. He didn’t
demand anything. He didn’t cry or scream. He was simply always content.
Devin_1st_Birthday1-300x22
Not long after that I noticed Devin didn’t react to my husband and I trying to
be silly with him. He had what we affectionately called his, “Nonchalant” face
as we picked him up. We would make silly faces, funny sounds, and move him
around being silly. He wouldn’t break a smile and he would just look at you or
look around. He started talking at about 12 months. He said words like dada,
bobba (for bottle), up, ow, go, and even his older sister’s name, “Chels” (for
Chelsea). He started with about 3-4 words and then said more and more. But then
he started going backwards. Sometimes he would say a word and lose it. Like he
said the words, “Thank you” all day one day. He walked around saying it, but has
never said it again…ever. Other words he said all the time, virtually everyday
and for weeks and months, only to lose them over time. He also met other
milestones like pointing, lifting his hands to be picked up, running to the gate
when daddy got home, saying and waving bye-bye. All of these eventually
disappeared.

I was pregnant with his little sister and he was 17 months old at the time his
sister was born. So I blamed a lot of things on my own behavior being sluggish
and very very pregnant at the time he really started to regress. Maybe I just
wasn’t giving him enough attention during this time? And maybe he was jealous or
a little neglected with all of the attention of the new baby? Each and every
time I went to well visits the doctor would ask the usual questions. When he
asked about Devin’s speech, I would report to him that his words weren’t
increasing. In fact he was losing words. I continued to question vaccines,
although I continued to vaccinate him on schedule (other than the MMR which I
delayed because it was “the” vaccine reported to cause problems). Each time I
brought up vaccines, my fears were dismissed and I was made to feel like I was
overly protective and basically ignorant to the facts of them. I think my doctor
had already made up his mind that I was just “that” mom and over protective and
didn’t take anything I said seriously. He continued to regress and I continued
to get more and more concerned and worried about him. I literally watched him
lose a word right in front of my eyes. He used to walk around our big coffee
table and point to my feet because I painted my toenails and he would say,
“Toe!!” He did this all the time over a long period. Then one day he pointed and
tried to say the word and it just wouldn’t come out. He stuttered and tried
again and couldn’t say it. He looked confused and tried but eventually just
walked away. This same doctor again told me my fears were unfounded. He told me
boys developed differently than girls. He even made jokes about Devin’s speech
saying, “You know how women talk. He’s probably just trying to ignore the
ladies!” When I pushed the issue even bringing in a checklist I had done online
of symptoms Devin was exhibiting, he seemed irritated with me. He looked at
Devin and said, “I’ve never seen him walk on his toes.” He had and did and
often. But in that small waiting room he probably didn’t see it. But he
literally laughed when I told him I thought Devin had autism. Sadly I was right.
On my urging the doctor put Devin on a waiting list with a developmental
pediatrician but it could be several months, even a year before we heard from
them. So we decided to go out on our own and had him evaluated. He was diagnosed
October 26, 2010 with moderate autism. When we got the official diagnosis and it
was sent to our doctor, he said, “Well you know it couldn’t be the MMR vaccine
because you delayed it!” as if he still just wanted to be right. But in fact,
Devin regressed badly from the 15-20 month time frame to the point that he would
literally sit and stare out into space. I remember calling my husband over and
telling him to watch as I said Devin’s name louder and louder , even yelling it
and he would not respond and continued to stare off. I would then clap and make
noise and he still wouldn’t respond. We fired our doctor. Since then Devin has
been said by one evaluator as being on the severe end of the spectrum. He
started Speech and Occupational Therapy before his official diagnosis at 20
months of age. He also received a grant for ABA Therapy and at one point we had
a revolving door of therapists coming in/out of our home. We moved from MI to NC
and lost ABA. We continued ST and OT for three years, but it was overall
ineffective. We are now doing Mendability, a sensory-enrichment therapy as well
as gfcf diet and supplements that are helping. His last diagnosis from his ST
and OT was Severe Receptive Disorder and Severe Expressive Disorder in addition
to the original diagnosis of autism. He also has severe Sensory Processing
Disorder and is “Hypo” sensitive and sensory seeking. He also struggles with
Pica. He also has digestive issues, food allergies, and skin issues. When I took
him to the dermatologist for severe eczema, he was seen for a matter of seconds
and we were simply told it was a skin condition and to use a topical OTC
petroleum base cream on his face. But after removing dairy from Devin’s diet as
well as food dyes his eczema has completely disappeared and not returned. So
diet and supplements have helped.
Devin still has a ways to go. Unlike all of my old friends, I don’t have his
first day of Kindergarten picture on facebook today. I am homeschooling him and
don’t believe he could function in a typical school setting, especially for 7
hours a day. Although he is talking, it remains a challenge and difficulty for
him and he is very low verbal, some would consider him to be pre-verbal. He
still has severe sensory issues. He still has problems with social situations.
Mendability has been a great therapy for Devin and we are fortunate that he has
been able to be in it for a year now. He has improved dramatically in attention,
focus, sleep, and repetitive behaviors. He has seen some progress as well in
speech. We are adding new supplements soon. He is not his diagnosis and is such
an awesome little guy!! He works on the ipad, loves swimming and his trampoline,
pesters his little sister, and tries to talk everyday. He wants to talk and
everyday he tries. Every time he does talk it is in the right context. He wants
and tries to socialize, but he has no friends. He doesn’t want the behaviors he
has and tries to control them. He is no longer that quiet unresponsive toddler!
He makes good eye contact at times and remains a loving, funny and affectionate
wonderful child.
I give God the glory for putting the right people in our lives to continue to
help him. I keep telling his story because vaccines from day one had a
devastating effect on Devin. After his reaction I kept vaccinating him
compounding the assault over and over again. It was like watching someone who
was being slowly methodically poisoned over years and watching their bodies
react from an accumulation of chemicals and toxins, deteriorating and just
disappearing into himself. I sincerely pray all of the time that my story and
countless others can make their way to people in positions of power to do
something about it. Parents need to know that autism IS a side effect of
vaccines and it is not rare. My son is 1:50 who now have autism. 1 in 6 children
in America have a type of disorder. I had nothing but good intentions doing what
I thought was everything right during my pregnancy and after. But I now have
nothing but regrets and wish I was told the truth about the vaccine ingredients,
the fact that a subset of children cannot excrete the toxic load, lack of
efficacy, that they are giving too many vaccines and too many at the same time.
In my experience not one vaccine is safe. Maybe my son’s story can save future
children and families from the horrific reality of vaccine injuries. The CDC
knew vaccines contributed to autism in 2000. My son was born in 2008. We should
have been told."

(Written on
August 10, 2006 by Tamara, the day after Eden’s vaccine injury.)
Eden got her 4 month shots yesterday…seven immunizations in all, three
injections. These were the same ones that she had at two months without any
issues. Well, we had a horrible scare and our little one is still recouping
from the mess. This was already one of those subjects with us that we
questioned if we were doing the right thing, at least it was for me, but we
decided to go ahead with them.
Eden was bubbly and playful at her well baby check up – She is 12 lbs and 24
1/2 inches long – a bit under weight for her age and height, but she is just
a small eater and as long as she keeps growing she is fine per her
pediatrician. She was even giving her doctor smiles left and right and was
doing great overall while being poked and prodded…she did not even cry or
whine once.
However, within 4 hours of getting her shots she was a completely different
baby. She was screaming a very high pitched shrill cry and nothing we could
do would comfort her. Actually, the more we tried the worse it got because
she acted as though it hurt her to just be touched. She turned purple when I
tried changing her diaper because she was screaming so hard and refused to
eat.
After about 45 minutes of this I called the advice nurse at Kaiser. They
told us to give her Tylenol and to put cold rags on her legs and to call
back in 30 minutes if she was not better. The cold rags seemed to calm her
down, so I did not call back. She sort of just did not want us to touch her
so I gave her a warm bath to try and relax her to see if that would help.
She managed that and went to sleep after finally taking a bottle.
This morning she was burning. Her leg was swollen and one of the injection
sites was all red and inflamed, like a small bug bite. She had a 101.5 fever
so I called the advice nurse again. This nurse acknowledged it was a
reaction right away and told us that most likely the next round of shots
would make it worse so we needed to talk to Eden’s doctor about either
holding off, splitting them up, or just not doing them now then she told me
to give her more Tylenol and to put cool rags on her head until her doctor
called us back. We did this and I even took her into the shower with me and
put her under the cool water.
At about noon her doctor called. I told her everything that had happened and
she kept reassuring me that it was not a reaction. I told her what the nurse
said and she said that reactions like that are rare. I quickly pointed out
to her that she had seen Eden a few hours before all this started and that
she was fine, so her telling me it was something else made no sense at all.
She reluctantly agreed and told me to only give her Tylenol on demand when
Eden was really bad because that too could build up in her system and cause
problems if she was already being susceptible to having reactions. She
agreed that we needed to keep cool rags on her and then asked if I was
scared to continue her vaccinations. I told her I was and that we would be
doing research and talk with her at her 6 month appointment about our
options.
Chepe and I are thinking we are going to do what they used to do in Japan
and hold off on all further vaccines until she is at least 2 years old. I
spoke with a good friend of mine in NC whose daughter had a severe 18 month
long reaction 10 years ago and she gave me lots of info and resources, so we
are doing our homework on this touchy subject. I would just never forgive
myself if we ignored this warning and the next time around she does not
bounce back as soon from a reaction. I have spent all day trying to keep
Eden comfy, working on getting her fever down, and doing research when she
asleep…which seems like way more then usual since she is still not feeling
well.
If it is not one thing it is another in the Morales household apparently!
Below: Trying to cool the hot mamacita off :o)
Below: Eden with her dollie, soska (pacifier), and lovie (rag)…she was
tolerating the
wet cold rag as long as she had her comforting thing with her. She was too
cute even
though she was miserable.
<span
To update — Tamara and Chepe have since decided to become 100% vaccine free.
They based this decision on “huge amounts of time spent researching the
facts, numbers, ingredients, diseases, reactions, benefits of natural
immunity and everything else vaccine related that they could get their hands
on.”
The following is another blog post written by Tamara on August 20, 2010:
Vaccine Reaction
The 9th of this month marked four years ago that Eden had her vaccine
reaction. That was a very scary day for us and I still can hear her high
pitched cry when I reflect on those horrific moments. This high pitched cry
is known as the ‘cri encephalique’ and is an indication of neurological
irritation. The brain swells (encephalitis), causing an extremely painful
headache which makes the baby cry in a high-pitched way.This is of the most
widely recognized signs of vaccination sequelae, and is indication of a
severe reaction when accompanied by persistent crying for 3 or more hours,
fever over 103F, and excessive sleepiness. Eden had all of these things
within four hours of receiving her four month vaccinations, seven vaccines
(she weighed a little over 12 pounds).I will also never forget feeling as
though we had lost our little one forever, and seeing that same fear in
Chepe’s eyes. Neither of us would say it, but we knew what each other were
thinking, and our silence was pain enough. Thankfully we had a more positive
outcome then others and Eden is now a wonderful little four year old full of
lots of energy.
Eden’s reaction led us to be proactive and become as informed as any parent
can be on this topic. We still live with lasting effects of this reaction,
confirmed by her neurologist. Though mild they serve as reminders that we
were completely naive on this topic and we should have never consenting to
anything before doing our own independent research; no parent should.
Informed consent is necessary and as parents we have to do our homework,
thoroughly in order to properly decide what is best for our children.
A mom named Melissa once posted:
“I’m just a mom. But I was taught where to stand in this universe. I see so
many people feeling scared & pressured to get their children vaccinated;
they rationalize vaccination as the default. People feel as though they have
to be convinced NOT to vaccinate. You have been deceived. We should have to
be convinced TO vaccinate. Take a deep breath, go with your instincts, and
do your research.”
Nearly every day I read ALL about vaccines; the diseases they are supposed
to protect us against, rates of infection & complication, rates of vaccine
reaction, ingredients, laws, recalls, conflicts of interest, research
studies, and the list goes on. I can honestly say that if I had known all
that I know now prior to having children, I would no way even considered
vaccinations and Eden’s reaction would have been avoided. I regret that our
ignorance almost cost us our daughter, but am proud that I am now more
knowledgeable on the topic and have even been able to help other parents.
“The Environmental Protection Agency justifies setting vaccine levels for
Thimerosal Mercury at 50,000 parts per billion. Technically safe by
conventional standards if you’re a 350 pound adult, but not for an infant.”
No one in our home is 350 pounds (insert sarcasm here), so since Eden’s
reaction we have made the decision to become a non-vaccinating home. There
are no annual flu shots for any of us, no tetanus boosters, not even TB
tests around here. Eden has received no additional vaccination since her
reaction and Lily has received zero vaccines in her life. They are both two
healthy little girls that have strong, naturally built immune systems.
A fellow non-vaccinating parent shared this with me a long time ago. I have
always hung on to it, since I think it is something very interesting to
think about and because I am a numbers person, and remember mercury is not
the only toxin in vaccines. Toxins that destroy our natural immune systems.
* 0.5 parts per billion (ppb) mercury = Kills human neuroblastoma cells (Parran
et al., Toxicol Sci 2005; 86: 132-140).
* 2 ppb mercury = U.S. EPA limit for drinking water (http://www.epa.gov/
* 20 ppb mercury = Neurite membrane structure destroyed (Leong et al.,
Neuroreport 2001; 12: 733-37)
* 200 ppb mercury = level in liquid the EPA classifies as hazardous waste (http://www.des.umd.edu/hw/
* 600 ppb mercury = Level in a currently licensed Hepatitis B, multi-dose
vaccine vial, labeled as trace. This is administered at birth.
* 25,000 ppb mercury = Concentration of mercury in multi-dose, Hepatitis B
vaccine vials, administered at birth from 1990-2000 in the U.S. Not
administered at birth in any other developed country.
* 50,000 ppb mercury = Concentration of mercury in DTaP and Haemophilus B
vaccine administered 8 times in the 1990’s to children at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 18
months of age. Current “preservative” level mercury in flu, meningococcal
and tetanus (7 and older) vaccines.
But, what about Polio???
Before I end I feel that I need to address this because it is the one
question that I can almost always bet I will get asked when people are made
aware of our no vaccine stance. This was a question I was concerned about
too in my early days of vaccine research, so here is the answer I tell
people:
“Polio is most prevalent in India, where in 2009, 741 people contracted it.
The population of India is 1,147,995,904. This means that in the country
where Polio is seen as dangerous, the percentage of people who contract it
is 0.000006%.” –Earthy Motherhood
Per the CDC, the last cases of naturally occurring paralytic polio in the
United States were in 1979 and the last imported case caused by wild polio
virus into the United States was reported in 1993.

"The
Beginning…
My husband and I were blessed with the birth of our darling Emily on a very
cold February morning in 2003. She was our second child and joined her older
sister, Brittany, as a wonderful addition to our family.
The doctor visits and the immunizations…
Our darling Emily developed normally until the age of 14 months…at which
time she received her first round of immunization booster shots. At this
first visit, she received 3 separate immunizations. During the short drive
home, it was evident that something was wrong. Instead of her normal happy
demeanor, she appeared confused and even had an unusual “worried” look on
her face. After arriving home, we put her in her walker so we could prepare
her lunch. Again…it was evident that something was wrong as she began to
pace nervously through the house and would occasionally stop and cry out for
no apparent reason. Looking into her eyes…I could see repeated dilations and
contractions of her pupils. In an effort to console her, we tried to pick
her up but she would quickly push herself away from me. She still had the
confused and worried look on her face. After putting her back in the walker,
she immediately began to run up and down the hall and continued to cry.
Unsure of what to do, I called the pediatrician’s office told the staff
about her symptoms and added that I thought was she was having an allergic
reaction to the shots. They advised me to bring Emily back in the next
morning and I agreed.
At the visit the next day, she was examined by the pediatrician and the
doctor’s diagnosis was that she looked fine and that her eyes didn’t appear
dilated at that time. Of course, this was almost 24 hours after the
immunizations. The doctor told me not to worry so much that whatever it was,
it was probably over now. I left the office with the terrible feeling that
something was still wrong and that my Emily was not going to be the same. As
time passed, the symptoms…the confused look and the unusual crying out… did
not go way. In addition, she seemed to be very depressed most of the time.
Eventually, I took her back to the doctor and demanded something be done. I
asked the pediatrician to check her condition via neurological testing as
she hadn’t been the same since the vaccines. I also requested that they run
any other tests or do some research on her as she had continued with the
strange symptoms. At this request, the doctor reacted with a concerned look
and she asked me to wait in the examining room for a minute so she could
retrieve some information. She returned about 20 minutes later and gave me
some paperwork for the Early Childhood Intervention (ECI), The Child Study
Center, and the Sante’ Rehabilitation for Children with Disabilities. She
told me to contact ECI first and that they would have someone come out to
talk with me. As I left the doctor’s office, I was disgusted, angry and
confused. I was devastated with the outcome of the visit and with the fact
that doctor seemed unwilling to listen and unable to help my daughter.
Emily on floor
Emily’s conditions continue to deteriorate…and the Autism is diagnosed…
Emily slowly began to get worse in her general overall health condition. She
continually had either a sinus infection or ear infection every month. At
this time, according to our new pediatrician, it seemed that she also came
down with another medical problem…gastrointestinal issues. As Emily had been
on numerous antibiotics, she began to have bowel problems. As if that wasn’t
bad enough, she also developed eye problems with continuing watering of the
eyes. On several occasions, her eyes would get so bad she would have trouble
just opening them in the morning. The discharge from her eyes would dry up
around the edges of her eyes when she was asleep so that when she woke up,
her eyelids would stick together. ECI did eventually come to our home to
examine Emily and their diagnosis was that she appeared to exhibit symptoms
of autism. They said that they would return later to do some more testing on
her. My thought was that Emily’s problem was not autism because she was a
healthy female girl until the immunizations were administered. The ECI
representatives exchanged glances and they gave each other a worried look. I
immediately asked why they were reacting like this and they stated that they
were not at liberty to discuss their feelings about the issue. They finally
relented and said that they had heard the same comments from other parents.
Later that evening, I began doing some internet research about autism, I
felt disheartened to learn that there were other parents who were also
experiencing the same issues that I was having with my Emily.
Emily at Christmas
Trying to help my daughter…
During my autism research, I discovered the possible autism treatments with
regard to a gluten-free, casein-free diet. I suspected that Emily could be
allergic to either or both of these, so I ordered a special cookbook
entitled “Special Diets for Special Kids”. I also bought new cookware and
utensils to ensure that they were free of gluten and casein residue. I took
Emily off of all dairy (casein based) products the first week. Almost
immediately, we saw improvement in that Emily’s eye discharge problems
disappeared and she also appeared to regain some eye contact capabilities.
Then, after a week of improvements, I took her off of gluten/wheat products
and switched to rice, chick peas, and quinoa-floured breads, pastas and
other products. Again, we experienced some successes as Emily’s stomach
pains disappeared and she had a normal bowel movement for the first time in
several months. In addition, she began sleeping through the night. (Before
we began the new diet, the entire family was somewhat sleep deprived because
Emily would keep us awake by laughing hysterically, screaming and crying,
and pouncing on all of us throughout the night). We hoped dearly that Emily
would continue to improve with her eye contact and stop walking on her
toes…tripping easily…and running uncontrollably into walls. It appeared to
be working! As time progressed, all seemed to be going along fairly well.
Emily’s overall health was still a problem. For example the following year
she developed a strange bout of fevers and also experienced an array of
problems whenever there was a bad ozone day.
Emily at table
The search for a cure or relief…
My repeated internet and other autism research in an effort to help Emily
led me to a clinic in Austin, Texas called “The Care Clinic.” They
specialized in individualized testing and biomedical treatments for people
with autism and related chronic illnesses. I contacted the clinic and
explained Emily’s problems, as well as our limited financial situation. The
staff at the clinic advised me not to worry about the payment for now and
that they would take our case and try to help us. They sent us laboratory
test kits for me to do and some blood test kits to be done at the closest
hospital laboratory. We completed the lab work then we visited the Care
Clinic in Austin. We were amazed at all the people and children in the
clinic. After filling out forms and signing papers, we were escorted into an
exam room for more testing. Once done, we were moved to another room to and
waited to speak to a physician and also with the founder of the clinic. To
make a very long story shorter, they were very personable and explained
Emily’s test results to us. Upon learning of the seriousness of the results,
I became very upset. Emily had yeast overgrowth and had lymes disease. She
also had a mitochondria dysfunction and could not produce glutathione. She
suffered from an immune disorder she also suffered with heavy metal toxic
overload. Her body did not produce the necessary enzymes to detox itself and
was thus overloaded with toxins. They tried to reassure us in that the
clinic offered therapies to help with these issues. They also supplied us
with supplements to help Emily replenish her nutrients. We discussed the
risks involved and were given all information and details. We began with an
intravenous chelation therapy. We came back the next day and completed the
intravenous mineral replacement treatments. Emily did great and we returned
to the clinic on a monthly basis. Emily also underwent treatments of HBOT
(Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Ozone) during his time frame. After
approximately seven trips, Emily’s health improved dramatically. For the
first time ever, she spoke with clear meaningful words in a full sentence.
For example, upon our return to our hotel room, Emily looked up at me and
said ‘I want to go swimming now’. We continued to see amazing things from
Emily. She followed the lines in coloring books, was able to use scissors,
understood her colors better, and could use her food utensils with more
purpose. She spoke the words ‘I love you mommy’ for the first time and it
brought tears to my eyes.
The downturn and the regression…
Unfortunately, all of our successes turned out to be short lived. The clinic
was forced to close down temporarily due to the economy and financial
reasons. As things worsened, my husband also lost his permanent full-time
job and has since only been working on contract jobs…leaving us without
private medical insurance for our family. Most of the biomedical treatments
and laboratory tests needed for Emily’s health conditions are not covered
due to laws that protect insurers for not paying for them, these biomedical
treatments and lab tests are considered ‘investigational.’ Emily has
regressed and she really needs these therapies in order to continue to
progress and grow. Until my husband finds a permanent position, we haven’t
been able to provide Emily with the treatment she needs. It has been 7
months since Emily’s last biomedical treatment and she has continues to
regress. She is now only speaking in 2-3 word sentences and has returned to
frequently waking up in the middle of the night. She again screams out or
cries in her sleep.
We continue to fight the battle…and continue biomedical treatments and to
look for ways to help our Emily become a normal little girl.
Ron, Christina, and Brittany…and of course…Emily…."

Eric was born completely normal and developed normally until he was 6 months
old. When he was 6 months old, he received the DPT vaccine and within a few days
he began to have seizures — up to 80 in 1 day! Other than the daily seizures, he
developed normally until about 10 months of age — alert, learning to walk and
talk, but the seizures took their toll. He is now 20 years old and the last
time his father saw him smile was when he was 10 months old. Remembering his 1st
birthday, Eric’s father wished the seizures would leave him alone — at least for
that one day. His parents had to hold his head up as they blew out the candle.
Eric had tests after tests done, and no answers were ever given until he was 8
years old. When he was 8, a doctor confirmed that his disability was due to a
reaction to the vaccines he received when he was 6 months old. He is 20 years
old today and is severely disabled and in need of continuous care and support.
He is approximately the size of a 5 year old and only weighs 45 pounds.

All further vaccines have been declined.
These photos show Grace before her 4 month vaccines (given at 5 months) and
after her 6 month vaccines (given at 7 months).
These photos show Grace at around 9 months (left) and at one year (right),
following her 12 month vaccinations. She was no longer able to sit on her own,
and had stopped crawling or scooting. She stopped responding to her name,
stopped smiling, and stopped babbling.
Grace never regained the ability to babble (talk). She struggles with her
walking and balance. She has a very hard time using her hands and struggles with
grasp. We have had several genetic tests done (including 2 tests for Rett’s
Syndrome, with normal results – no mutation). She had an MRI showing no
concerns. She had an EEG showing no seizure activity.
Grace works hard at therapy but struggles due to weak grasp and deficits in
eye-hand coordination.

Grace now suffers from severe IgE food allergies to Corn, Wheat, Milk, Eggs,
Soybeans, Peanuts, Treenuts, and Sesame Seeds. She has rarely has a formed bowel
movement. She wakes at night screaming in pain that I can not stop because she
can not tell me where or what hurts. She is only able to eat 3 foods currently.
She suffers from severe eczema. She is nonverbal so these are the major ailments
that we can tell she suffers from.
Yet another allergic reaction to God knows what...thank you vaccines for
creating a mess of my baby's gut causing her body to attack everything including
the food she eats. Thank you medical community for leaving us alone to figure it
out.

I have had to leave my career in order to stay home to care for Grace 24/7. It
is unknown if she will ever lead a productive, functional life on her own. She
has 3 siblings that are constantly affected by her vaccine injury. Their lives
are put on hold as every event revolves around who will care for Grace, what
food can we bring, and whether we afford it as our finances have been severely
affected.
Worth Every Penny
Therapy now runs $120,000 a year and her diet is roughly $300 a week. I can no
longer work, and my husband is a firefighter. This is bankrupting us. We are
losing our home.
I did seek compensation through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Fund but was
told by 3 attorneys that they are not taking any autism cases and do not know of
anyone who is. The others that I contacted never returned my calls. Her statute
has expired. The pediatrician to this day has refused to provide our complete
vaccine records. I have made 4 written attempts and my attorney has made 3. I
have contacted the IN Attorney General to begin filing complaints with the
medical board. His lack of providing records also would have prevented us from
filing in vaccine court. We are left on our own to find the money and resources
to try to make her life livable.

"I have three sons, but from the moment I laid eyes on Gunner I knew he was
special. He had this little button nose, olive complexion and a hairy little
back. He was literally the most well-behaved baby I have ever seen! He was
always happy and smiling, never fussy. He met all of his mile stones, started
crawling at 7 months and was walking before he was a year. He had all the
typical baby words, mom, dad, bottle, his brothers name (cole), car. His
favorite phrase was “What is this?”
Gunner was the most well-behaved baby.
Gunner was the most well-behaved baby I have ever seen! He was always happy and
smiling.
A few weeks after his first birthday I took him in for his doctor visit. That
day he received his MMR vaccination. Not long after we got home he spiked a high
fever. I gave him Tylenol and alternated that with Advil to keep it at bay. That
night Gunner woke up screaming and hitting himself in the face. At the time I
chalked it up to teething. The next morning Gunner seemed different. He refused
to eat, he cried a lot and he still had this fever…… I took him back to the
doctor when I started to realize there was more going on. They ruled out
pneumonia with an x-ray of his chest, ruled out an ear infection, and he had no
cold symptoms. The doctor said it must be from his vaccination.
Gunner’s fever stayed with him for two weeks! When he was finally on the mend I
noticed his attitude hadn’t changed much from when he was sick. He was
regressing. He stopped looking at me, he no longer responded to his name, he no
longer reached out to me, he started walking on his tip toes and and throwing
his head in circles. He also ran in circles… The Gunner I knew was disappearing
in front of my very eyes….
Gunner was a different child after his 12 month vaccinations.
Gunner was a different child after his 12 month vaccinations.
Gunner is nonverbal today, his behaviors are getting worse as he ages. Just last
week I saw him causing self-injury for no apparent reason. He was biting
himself… Gunner has a fascination with letters and numbers, so much that he bit
through his baby brother’s hand and went into complete hysterics because he
touched one of his magnet letters.
As a single mother of three how am I to get him the therapy he so desperately
needs? Therapy he wouldn’t need if I were properly informed about the risks and
side effects of the MMR vaccine? As his mother I want this beautiful boy to
reach his full potential, whatever that may be. It saddens my heart that my once
happy, healthy boy is now suffering and there is nothing I can do to stop it.
All the wealth of our great country, and still so many people are suffering…
A recent photo of Gunner.
A recent photo of Gunner.
You know… I’m kind of new to all this (Gunner is nearly 3 years old), and I know
a lot of people have lists of the changes they want, demands they have… All I
want is for my son to get whatever therapy he needs. I want his country, his
government to help him succeed in life and I want them to take a little
responsibility for what’s happening to so many families – the same government
that made it mandatory for me to poison my child… And please insist on more
studies and testings of these harmful vaccinations.
Thank you for your time…
Kash’s story:
Today Kash is 15 months old and although I have not seen long-term effects from
the DTaP vaccination he received at 9 months, the week that followed it was
terrifying! The picture I am adding with my story is of Kash the day before his
DTaP and the day of his DTaP. You can see the stark difference in the two…
Kash - Before and After the DTaP vaccine at 9 months of age.
Kash – Before and After the DTaP vaccine at 9 months of age.
After bringing Kash home from his doctor visit he spiked a fever. By bath time
it was climbing and his eyes were disoriented. That night I woke to Kash’s
painful screams. When I picked him up he was on fire! I fumbled around in
complete hysterics looking for my thermometer. It read 105.6! He was slipping in
and out of consciousness. Immediately I dialed 911. We were rushed to Mercy
Hospital, where they tried to tell me he had a slight ear infection of the right
ear. The doctor’s words exactly were, ” It looks a little red. We will write you
up for antibiotics.”
Days went by and I was lucky to bring his fever down to 104. Feeling something
else was wrong I took him back to the ER two more times, only to be sent home
each time. His extremely high and abnormal fever lasted for a week.
I am extremely grateful that Kash came out of the woods alright. His brother
Gunner was not so lucky. I know my baby, and I know with every ounce of me that
the DTaP made my baby instantly ill. We dodged a bullet with Kash. That
vaccination was the last vaccination I will EVER allow my children to receive. I
thank my lucky stars every day Kash is okay and I will never again subject my
children to the poisons that are being administered to babies every day.
Kash’s story has a happy ending, but it could have gone very wrong for him, as
it has for so many others, including his big brother.
I can only imagine what would have happened to Kash if I allowed them to give
him his MMR this past June."

This is Jeremy’s story, as told by his mother.
Jeremy received all vaccinations according to schedule, beginning at birth.
Every vaccine left his immune system weaker. He had chronic ear infections and
fevers. He learned to walk and talk on schedule. He would imitate us and tell us
all about Pooh characters (which he still watches).
When he was 16 months old, he received MMR, DTaP and HIB in one well-baby visit.
He was sick with a fever the full week after and kept holding his head. He
slowly regressed and 4 months later I wrote on his calendar…”why did you stop
talking?” His pediatrician said it was just because he was busy with other
things. Well, it was “Autism” and seizures (dx landau kleffner at first). We
enrolled him in every therapy possible. Nothing was getting through. He would
drool all his food out of his mouth and could not use utensils anymore. He was
not off a bottle or potty trained until after 5 yrs old – while in ABA 40 hours
per week. Intensive detoxing, tests, therapies (speech, OT, Hippo), and ABA
followed the next 12 yrs. He has been through so much.
When Jeremy was around the age of 12, an ABA professional told me to focus on
life skills only. Basically, give up and look into residential homes. His raging
frustration during ABA left him in full BARR holds by 4 adults. He couldn’t talk
so he was mad and they thought they would “break” him like a horse. So, they
would hold him down until he stopped crying. I am horrified now thinking about
what he has been through.
These kids have so many biological problems; colitis, severe headaches, chronic
constipation, food allergies, seizures… and more. Then they cannot communicate
like some stroke victims. They are in there but how would you know? No
handwriting, no words.
Please understand, his other 3 siblings did not receive the absurd vaccine
schedule he endured and they are fine and thriving. Jeremy was bombarded and his
body could not handle it.
This story was written by Jodi, mother to Jillian.
My daughter’s name is Jillian. She was born on September 22, 2005. We lived in
Peacham, Vermont. Her vaccine injuries occurred in Vermont. She was a normally
developing infant per doctor observations, had met all milestones. Responded to
her name, had normal eye contact, good sleep habits, good eating habits, and the
beginnings of rudimentary language.
Jillian was a normally developing baby prior to vaccine-injury.
This photo was taken when Jillian was 11 months old; one month prior to her
vaccine-injury. She was looking at the camera, responding to her name, and
smiling upon request.
She was given MMR, varicella, Hep A, Prevnar at her 12 month well-baby visit.
Jillian regressed behaviorally within weeks, screaming, not sleeping, agitated,
personality change. No one, including myself recognized this as an adverse
vaccine reaction. She was given DTaP and Hib at 15 months. By 17 months she had
no eye contact, no words, was not sleeping, exhibited constant screaming,
flapping, and spinning. I hope I don’t need to tell you how devastating this was
for all of us, including her big sister, but especially for Jillian.
We moved to the state of Texas five years ago, when we realized that our
beautiful state of Vermont could not provide the medical, therapeutic or
educational resources that the state of Texas could. We left our home on the
real estate market, all of our friends and my mother and father. We have spent
the last five years putting the pieces of Jillian’s puzzle together with the
help of several physicians.
Jillian has endured years of physical pain as a result of vaccine-injury.
Here is what subsequent MEDICAL testing has revealed: Prior to her 12 month
vaccines, Jillian was a healthy, normally developing child. Findings: NO
antibodies (immunity) developed to polio, varicella, tetanus or pertussis,
despite being fully vaccinated per the CDC schedule. Abnormally HIGH antibodies
to measles, mumps and rubella. Heavy metal toxic, to include mercury and
aluminum. She has mitochondrial dysfunction, bowel disorders, gut dysbiosis
(hence the onset of 14 hour a day screaming; she was in unbearable pain), IgG
and IgE food allergies and intolerances. Sensory Integration Disorder.
Dyspraxia. Apraxia, severe vitamin deficiencies, metabolic problems,
malabsorption issues, gut inflammation, and PANDAS. She is non-verbal. Again, by
all Vermont physician accounts (several of them in the same practice), Jillian
was a typically developing infant who presented with none of these health issues
prior to her 12 month round of vaccinations.
The financial burden this has placed on us is immense. Tens of thousands of
dollars have been spent on medical care and therapy for our child, much of it
not covered by insurance. We lost our home in Vermont to foreclosure
proceedings, have gone bankrupt and had a vehicle repossessed. We tried to
maintain everything, but the health and well being of our daughter had to come
first. Five years ago, we owned two homes, had excellent credit and many dollars
in the bank. We now reside in Maine and live paycheck to paycheck. Parents bear
ALL the responsibility when their child becomes vaccine injured. PARENTS. Not
the doctor, not the nurse, and most certainly not the pharmaceutical companies,
who are protected from liability for vaccine injury.
Vaccine injury happens. It is a FACT that the Supreme Court of the United States
upholds, as it has deemed vaccines “unavoidably unsafe” in a court ruling
several years ago. Parents. Unavoidable risks.
I would like to thank you for reading this, and would like to make one last
point. I vaccinated my child. Then it happened, right in front of my eyes. My
daughter’s life was forever changed and her health and her future taken from her
in the space of a few months. Her childhood, stolen. I will never forgive
myself, as long as I live, for not researching vaccines before I injected them
into my children.

"Meet my son Josh. He was SO wanted. After over a year and a half of trying
we finally got the little bug. A funny day of my appointment on Dec 20th 2005 —
The Dr. said my water was low and we would be having a baby today! I was induced
that day and he waited until 12:34 a.m. to come out so I could have my Dec. 21st
baby!! (We have our birthdays a week apart, Hubby – Dec 7th, Me Dec – 14th, Josh
– Dec 21st and 7 weeks later is my older son’s Feb 8th. Cool right?! ) I had NO
clue about that first Hepatitis B shot they give your kids in hospital. This was
also before I realized what happened to many kids who get shots.
His first shot, Hep B, was given in the hospital without my consent- NON-STOP
crying.
This is my bug after we got home. Those days were not fun. He did not sleep
unless you held him and he would “scream” cry. He was very fussy and seemed to
have a reddish face. I am guessing a rash from his vaccine. His legs were hot
and he had a HUGE bump under his arm. Like a dummy I gave him Tylenol. I know
how that was SO NOT good… poor bug.
I hate pacifiers… They SUCK… (no pun) but Josh was just very restless. He nursed
but was just not very happy. Even the suckie did not help much.
At 2 months (Feb 2006) Josh went in for checkup. Like a good mommy I took him
in, and shots? Oh heck ya. A good mommy gets her child shots (right?). She wants
him to be healthy. Josh now is NOT SLEEPING even more. I have learned that my
black lazy boy rocker is not too hard to sleep in (after you get used to it). I
had a friend then I used to talk to during the long, sleepless nights. She was
awake at 1, 2 or 4 AM etc., and I am so grateful I had somebody to talk to!!
I soon began noticing he wouldn’t respond to sounds. I even did the old pan and
spoon trick… nothing. You could talk to him but he wouldn’t look at you, he only
avoided eye contact. That sucks because he has the most wonderful eyes! Grey,
and I love to look at them. His newborn test for hearing was ok. March 13, 2006
hearing test was ok. We even did another hearing test on November 14, 2007 and
tested fine but with us he still didn’t respond to sounds and we are left asking
ourselves if he can really hear.
What I did not know was my son was having seizures from that set of shots on Feb
21, 2006. The Dr. said it was not a seizure. The doctor’s explanation for Josh’s
behaviors was that Josh was drinking cold milk (Um… I’m nursing? Impossible.),
then he said it was a draft, or I’m just being too nervous. Anything but a
seizure. We ended up firing her.
It was not all Hell at our house. We did have a few moments of good, just NEVER
sleep. Josh simply didn’t sleep. At times he was up 3 days at a time. He would
nap if I held him. Later on we found out he has Sensory Processing Disorder.
At 4 months old (4/24/06), Josh received Hib b, IPV, DTaP, and Pneumococcal conj
(6 different vaccines). After the shots he was very fussy and he seemed to be
shaking his head more than usual. He looked red again on his cheeks and had a
high temperature. He was not my son. He was lost. I could tell that already.
This should have told me something but I was getting ZERO sleep. My husband was
working nights so I had stay downstairs during the day and keep quiet and at
night I had to keep quiet so my older son could sleep for school and Josh was SO
fussy. My life was a wreck.
Little did I know my life would get worse…
At his 6 month well-baby check-up I told the doctor Josh was having issues with
head shaking and his eyes rolling back in his head. They did an EEG so his shots
were delayed, THANK GOD! We were able to go home shot-free.
In the days after the EEG his head stopped doing the shaking thing and he seemed
ok. The Dr. said he needed to get his shots. When the Health Department called I
finally went in. On 6/29/06 he received IPV, Hib, Hep B, Pneumococcal conj. No
DTaP so let’s see what happens. Slowly the head shaking, that so far ONLY I had
seen, comes back. Everybody thought I was nuts because I wasn’t getting sleep.
But I know what I saw and I knew my son was not normal. But, just after he was 6
months old we went to the fair. My older son noticed what I had been seeing
happen with Josh. FINALLY somebody saw it happen!
In the next several months, Josh began talking some and had more eye contact. He
even learned to undress himself! He began driving himself places in his little
toy car and he even gave sleep a try! Yep, my bug was finally going places he
had not been before. He was amazing. He had some words and he even let me know
when he was wet. (Wahoo!!!) Everything was great… and then the health dept
called again… “YOU need to catch up on that DTAP shot.”
At 11 ½ months old (12/07/06) – DtaP and Influenza. Immediately Josh’s head
started shaking again and it looked like he was just “drugged out” all the time.
He was always tired, but he would stay up ALL night. It was crazy… back to
living in Hell… Judge shows, Animal Planet, and Mountain Dew became my best
friends.
Josh was also SICK all the time. He was always on antibiotics for ear infections
and would always have to take 2 rounds – and sometimes even another after that
of a different kind because the first 2 didn’t work. It was so sad to see him.
He stopped talking as much. It’s like the words he had learned were gone.
At 14 months old (3/14/07) Josh received the MMR and Pneumococcal conj. Red
cheeks again…
At 15 months old (4/16/07), Josh received Varicella, Hep A, and hib b.
At 18 months old (6/18/07), Josh received DTaP. His words COMPLETELY STOPPED.
It’s like my son is locked up in a box.
On 10/17/07, Josh received his Hep A shot. Where is my son? Where are his words?
It was like he was out in a great big world and lost.
I feel like I let both of my kids down… Brandon was and IS such a good big
brother. Josh was a hand full and in the first 2 years of his life it was HELL.
I aged so much. It was like my son was stuck in a glass box.
These are two pictures from his Birthday and Christmas. What a bright fun toy!
Doesn’t he just look thrilled (sarcasm)? ALL of his Birthday and Christmas
pictures are like this.
Because of his Sensory Processing Disorder, we had to buy him a weighted blanket
and special shoes. If his shoe came off he was a MESS! He would hold his foot
like it had been cut off. When he was 18 months old he started therapy, 1 to 3
times a day, Mon thru Fri. It took so much out of me running from place to
place, but we finally got a few words out of him. Nothing major, though. He
would not let us kiss him, and if we did he wiped it off because of the wet
feeling.
In March 2008 I made him a weighted blanket. It was so needed and it helped SO
much. My bug was finally sleeping!! On Sunday, May 18, 2008, after YEARS of
waiting I got my first kiss from Josh! He was kissing me! And I was in tears. I
asked him, “May I have another?” and he gave me one! He actually understood!!!
On Tuesday, July 15, 2008 we had an appointment with Josh’s doctor… our son has
autism. I was in shock. But as days went on I realized –yep… it is not all SPD.
August of 2008 we got a DAN Dr. and a script – NO SHOTS!!
My marriage became really rocky, and it was so hard for us. We are still
together now, but it has been so hard keeping our family together. I will never
ever blame Josh for this… He is and always will be my number 1! My boys are my
world and I love them. Josh is now 5 1/2. He is in kindergarten and he is
learning to read. He loves to sing and has some great friends he loves to play
with!
At a dinner with a developmental pediatrician in our town, the Dr. said that
shots do not cause autism. My older son said, “B.S.!” I explained Josh’s issues
to him with shots and he told me in Josh’s case it sounds like shots were an
issue with his autism. WOW! He told me that in front of A TON of parents!! He
also said to the group, “If your child has autism they won’t: go to prom, drive
a car, have a good job, go to college…” I was shocked because MY SON WILL do all
those things.
My son shows me how amazing he can be. I am finding him – slowly breaking that
box he is stuck away in! He still has to have socks on to sleep and a weighted
blanket. Josh LOVES roller coasters, fun parks, riding horses and painted faces.
Autism WONT stop my Josh. He is amazing.
Here are a few things we do to help him:
MB12 shot about every other day
2 Omega 3-6-9
2 Multi Vitamins
4 DHA
and about 300 kisses a day from me!!!
I am trying to find happy, for me, but this life is hard. I know he will be ok
and now to make me ok. Autism is hard for every member of our family, not just
Josh. I’ll never give up. He lives in a glass box. He can see out, I can see in.
I am determined to get him out!
"I had always vaccinated and felt I was doing the right thing to keep my
children healthy. I always trusted the Doctors. All that has changed for our
family. We no longer vaccinate and have learned so much about the dangers of
vaccines and their ingredients. Autism has affected our family in good and bad
ways. The good ways are it has bought us closer as a family. We learned not to
take things for granted because life can change in a instant. When others are
upset that their children failed math or did not win the game, we are just glad
that our Son looked at us today. That he smiled today. Autism has affected our
family in bad ways also. We lost friends and family became distant. Our Church
turned our Son away. They had a rule that children 3 years and up had to sit in
the service. Well our Son could not with all the bright lights,large crowds, and
loud noises. They physically hurt him. The Pastor told us they could not
accommodate our Son and to find another Church that could. We can’t take our Son
out a lot into stores and such. He has meltdowns all the time. We have heard
very harsh comments from people and have realized how cruel the world is. We
were in a restaurant and Josiah was banging 2 cups together. There were two loud
televisions on also. It was a Pizza restaurant. The old woman behind us looked
at her Daughter and said, “let’s move.” That was the first time I felt isolated.
My Husband walked over to her and said, “I am sorry My Son has interrupted your
meal, but he can’t help what the vaccines did to him.” Then he walked away. I
was at the mall and had to take My Son into the bathroom to change him. There
were some older teenagers or they were in their early 20’s in there. They had
their purses and bags all over the changing table. I walked to the handicap
bathroom to see if there was a changing table in it. There was not so I walked
back and waited for them to move their bags. They did and as they were walking
out one said “That kid is like 5 years old and still in diapers.” I picked My
Son up and opened the door, but they were not in my sight. I knew My Husband
could see them so I told him what happened and he said something to them. When
we got home and were eating dinner Josiah started sobbing a very hurt cry. My
Son can’t talk, but he can hear and we think that he was hurting because of what
was said. When all the children were asleep My Husband and I sat at the table
and cried.
Josiah is 5 now and will be 6 in November. He had a Genetic blood test done and
the results were that nothing is wrong with him genetically. His Developmental
Pediatrician told me that his Autism was Environmental and not Genetic. She then
told me that only 15% of cases of Autism are Genetic. Josiah is till in Diapers.
He has been on a Gluten and Casein Free diet since July 2010. He has been seeing
a DAN! Doctor since June 2010. His eye contact is back. He says some words,
mostly Daddy. He kisses and hugs. He is still scared of his bath and of pools.
Josiah is on a 2 year waiting list for therapy. Josiah has Sensory Processing
Disorder,PICA,OCD,Leaky Gut Disease, and Celiac’s Disease.
What would I say to Parents that vaccinate? Please do your research. Find out
what is in these vaccines. Research how many were given when you were a child
and look at how many are given now. Know that vaccines are drugs and all drugs
have side effects. Each child will react differently to vaccines. A well known
Pediatrician who has spoke out against vaccines told me that Pediatricians know
not to double up on vaccines."

"Julia was born a happy and healthy baby on 12-28-05, weighing in at 8# 2oz
(SMALL in comparison to her older brother, a 10 pounder!)…..It was a scheduled C
section and after a few days we all went home. Life went on. Yes, two young kids
was stressful, but I had NO IDEA what God was preparing me for. Julia never
really slept through the night until she was 9 months old. At NINE
months……REPRIEVE!!!!!! God was Good!
Julia went in for her 12 month appointment the day after Christmas –
12-26-06….yes, TWO days before her first birthday. I was told by the nurse that
we could not do her vaccines that day, as it was two days too soon. I looked at
her with a face of irritation. I had taken the day off of work (I am a
veterinarian)….and I KNEW that two days would not make a difference, so I asked
to speak with the Doctor about the issue. I spoke to him. He said we had a
“window” and that it was likely OK to give her her vaccines. She got the proquad
– MMR-V- from Merck (taken off the market six months later), and a hepatitis
vaccine. She screamed and cried as to be expected – her big brother rubbing her
head the whole time telling her it was to keep her “safe”. I will NEVER forget
this day.
Eight days later, January 4th, 2007, Julia was sent home from daycare – not
acting right, whining, inconsolable, febrile, etc…I was working a 12 hour shift
that day, so my now ex husband picked her up from daycare……….fed her dinner,
bathed her, and put her to bed at 7pm. I got home at 830pm. Actually a little
grateful that she finally got some sleep. Little did I know what was coming.
January 5th, 2007. I was in the shower, getting ready for work, and my then
husband went to get Julia ready for daycare. He came running in from her room
with her in his arms. He was SCREAMING……I got out of the shower, soaking wet and
naked, and looked at our baby. I thought she was dead. Blue. Cold. Head arched
to one side. No response to her name. Covered in feces and vomit. We put her on
the bed and saw that she was breathing very shallow breaths……I called 911. Then
the “circus” began.
Long story short………….she was life flighted to Miami Children’s Hospital. She was
in PICU unconscious for about 10 days. She was then transported to the Neurology
Ward, and stayed for a total of about a month. Diagnosis – encephalitis. Severe
temporal sclerosis over the right side of her brain. More areas of “less” severe
injury in both frontal lobes of her brain. When she left, she was SEVERELY left
sided hemiplegic, was aspirating food unless thickened, was unable to sit up or
roll over, was nonverbal, and screamed and cried 22 out of 24 hours a day. Back
again to NOT SLEEPING for over three years.
I asked about the vaccine. I am a Doctor. I have seen what vaccines have done to
animals. I have CAUSED the reactions that have happened to animals. I KNEW. BUT,
every Dr, except one, told me to not even consider the VICP. I went with my gut,
and the words of my ONE pediatric supporter, and I filed.
Over four years later – we got her settlement. The money – whatever – grateful
to have it, as her expenses are unexplainable. BUT I JUST WANT MY DAUGHTER BACK.
I would pay back 100 times what we got to have my beautiful Julia the way she
was meant to be. Don’t get me wrong – we love her as she is. However, some days
it is just overwhelming. She has improved greatly, and is functioning at an
(average) two year level (still no functional communication) – though will be
six in December 2011……
So, we got a settlement. I lost my husband and the kids lost their father who
moved over 2000 miles away following our divorce and sees his kids two to three
times a year for a few hours. I lost my house. I lost my father who just didn’t
understand why I couldn’t “get over it and move on” and now doesn’t speak to me.
I have lost many friends. My son has lost his normal life – now being a
caregiver for his sister at only 8 years old (by his own choosing – we don’t
encourage that role – he is 8glasses). And MOST IMPORTANTLY, my daughter lost
who she could have become. Again, who she is now – she is amazing – and she will
change MANY people’s lives – so, I can live with that – but, wow, right now it
is hard.
I met a man – single, never married, no kids, no baggage………….he stepped into our
lives and has taken over the “dad” role like no other and I am forever grateful.
How would I do this without him. Thank you Shawn for taking this on. I do not
understand the reasons, but am thankful for it."

Kerri’s narrative (Kash’s mother):
On June 23rd, we took our son into the pediatrician’s office to receive his
one-year vaccines. We were getting ready to go on vacation and we wanted to get
it over with since they were already late. Just like most other parents, I
dreaded these appointments. I couldn’t stand taking my sweet, smiling, cheerful
child into the doctor to have him poked and prodded, but I didn’t know I had a
choice. I ran a home-based child care facility and I thought immunizations had
to be current for that, as well as future schooling, camps, etc. Kash is the
youngest of 5 siblings, all of whom have been vaccinated, and we never had
issues, so unfortunately, I didn’t put much thought into doing any of my own
research.
Kash was immunized, I got him dressed, and we both left the doctors office in
tears. The next morning I was cuddling with Kash when he first woke up, and he
began to vomit. When he finished, I turned him over and tried to get him to
communicate with me, or even respond, and I got nothing from him but a blank
stare. His body was limp, he was staring off into space, and he wouldn’t even
acknowledge his own name. Knowing something wasn’t right, we took him to the
closest ER, which was about 5 minutes away. After evaluating him the attending
physician told us that more than likely Kash had suffered a seizure due to
“system overload” from his vaccines the day before. We were told to take him
home, let him rest, keep an eye on him, but that everything SHOULD BE okay.
Above: The last picture taken of Kash before his PICU emergency.
A couple of days later we left for our family vacation. Eight hours of driving
and Kash screamed all the way. We couldn’t figure out what was going on because
he was always such a delightful and passive child, and this was completely out
of the norm for him. Over the next week, Kash was extremely fussy, broke out in
a rash, and ran a fever. With any change in his personality or health, I called
back home to his pediatrician who instructed me to treat with Benadryl and
Tylenol. After a week of being on vacation with a fussy child and not in our own
environment, it was time to make the long trip back home. Once again, eight
hours in the car, and eight hours of Kash screaming. By the time we got home, we
were all exhausted and decided to go to bed.
The following day, July 4th 2010, Kash woke up fussy and running a slight fever.
I got up with him, gave him a dose of Motrin, and since we had a big day of
celebrating ahead of us, I decided to lay down and take a nap with Kash. I took
him into my room to nap with me while my husband and our other children went
about their day. About an hour later, I was awoken by the most horrifying sound
that I’ve ever heard….it was my baby screaming and convulsing at the same time.
I shook him and screamed his name several times, neither of which he responded
to. I didn’t know what to do, so I screamed for my husband to help, grabbed my
baby and began to run up the stairs with him.
I got about half way up the stairs before my husband met me. Both of us have
some medical knowledge and we know that seizures shouldn’t last long, so we
stood in the kitchen holding Kash, trying to comfort him, saying his name,
trying to do anything to get him to come out of the seizure, but he didn’t.
After a couple of minutes we decided it was best for me to stay with the other
children while my husband took Kash to the nearest ER, which thank GOD is only
about 5 minutes away.
Cody’s narrative (Kash’s father):
On the 4th Kash and Kerri had awoken early so they took a nap together. About 45
minutes after they went down I heard my wife scream my name along with the word
“help”. I met her half way up the stairs with Kash in her arms and he was
convulsing and unresponsive. I know this sounds terrible but at the time it
seemed best and it was the decision I made, I put Kash in my lap and drove as
fast as I could to the E.R. (about 5 miles from our home, I really felt I could
get him there faster than an ambulance could arrive at our home). The drive to
the hospital felt like hours and I spoke to Kash……yelled a few times to try and
get him to come to. We arrived at the hospital and I jumped out with Kash and
ran in through the ambulatory entrance where the receptionist started to tell me
that I would need to enter through the front door but I interrupted her with all
I could get out, “help my son is having a seizure”…
No time was wasted we were in a room and had 3 nurses and the doctor that was on
in the room with us right away, I remember thinking that I felt guilty about all
the other patients that were going to have to wait because we demanded all the
attention for something that would have probably resolved itself (odd thought
process and I was WRONG). We had to estimate his weight for medication because
the seizure was too violent to get a good weight using the scales. The staff
tried to get a line in but could not because his veins were too small and as I
previously stated he was convulsing, violently, so the doctor informed me that
they would have to “drill” a small hole into his shin. I remembered arguing with
him that it would to painful for him and the doctor told me that in his current
state he wouldn’t feel a thing. So with the hole drilled and the line started
they pushed the first dose, the drug was something similar to a Valium. The
doctor told me the drug would work very fast and he would come out of the
seizure quickly. At this point of the visit, Kash had been seizing for about 12
minutes and 5 minutes later the doctor whispered something to a nurse and she
quickly left the room. The doctor turned to me and told me that the medication
didn’t work and that they would have to administer another dose and then told me
something that didn’t register because I was distracted by the nurse that had
just left the room returning with the crash cart. This is all a little fuzzy but
I know Kerri was still home waiting for someone to come for the other kids and
my mom had just arrived when I asked why they brought the crash cart in.nThe
doctor told me for the second time that this second dose of medication would
stop his breathing……Once again I argued with the doctor, “don’t give him the
medicine then”, and the doctor told me that seizures should never last this long
(we were now at the 20 minute mark) and the longer he remains seizing the higher
the chance of permanent neurological damage. So the second dose went in and he
stopped breathing.
This is the part of the story that I usually stop talking at, when the lump in
my throat gets too big to talk through and I know if I blink a tear will fall. I
hadn’t noticed the large man, that looked more like a bouncer than a respiratory
specialist, that had entered the room until he began bagging my son. Kerri
arrived right around this time and so did my realization that Kash wasn’t coming
home today as I finally inventoried my surroundings and noticed nurses were
beginning to cry.
Sorry this is so long. Obviously, this is a story I get very involved in
telling, but I will fast forward for you.
Kash spent the next ten days in a coma and it was during this time that we began
educating ourselves on the risks of vaccines. Bad timing considering we were too
late to do anything now and we got to learn that IF Kash ever woke up he faced
certain brain damage and could be a vegetable. That was IF he woke up.
Kerri was my rock, I know I should have been that one but when it comes to my
kids I am soft, cotton ball soft. Kerri is also soft when it comes to the kids
but she is a much better actor than I am. How can someone be so tough but have
such a soft touch? She left the hospital twice, once to shower (then she found
out she could use the showers there) and the second time she left to take the
other kids to dinner (Kash was in the Pediatric intensive care unit — where kids
are not allowed).
It was in the PICU that we met several other very ill children and their
families. There were some great stories of recovery that we got to watch as we
waited for Kash to wake up… there were also some very sad stories that we were
on the same floor with. In the PICU we learned about the hand plates, the same
hand plates that you remember making and may still have from your childhood or
maybe hand plates with your own children’s palms on them. These hand plate kits
were there for the children that would not make it home. They were there to make
a hand print for you to take home after your child had lost their fight. The
same day we learned about the hand plates the hospital chaplain came by and I
remember I got very angry because on TV they only come by to bless or baptize
the dying. Again, I was wrong, I asked Kerri, “what the hell is he doing here?”
and she informed me that he had been by everyday to pray with Kash.
FAST FORWARD and Kash woke up. He battled seizures for the first several days
until they got him on an appropriate dose and schedule to keep the seizures at
bay. Kash had reverted back to a newborn. He had no muscle strength or control
(couldn’t even hold his head up) and had lost the words that he had begun to say
before the seizure. BUT OUR KASH WOKE UP AND CAME BACK TO US.
Kerri’s narrative:
FAST FORWARD. A year later Kash is two and still doesn’t have many spoken words;
he can actually sign more than he speaks. Kash is running, laughing, smiling,
crying and gives us kisses. He did wake up a little different from before and
not just with the loss of speech, or the left sided weakness, but he NEVER gave
my husband kisses before the seizure just myself. Now, my husband and I get more
kisses than we can manage with one face. Kash has speech therapy every week, has
a state funded therapist that comes out an additional two times a month for
speech, PT, and OT, sees a Neurologist, and also goes to a Spasticity
specialist. We are also in the process of getting him into see a pediatric
stroke specialist because during his coma, Kash also suffered a stroke and has
left him with left side weakness. With Kash turning 3 in May, he will also begin
his adventure in school, and will be placed in a special needs education class.
With all that Kash and our family has been through, looking at his face is a
constant reminder of the second chance of life that we have been given. Kash is
living proof that God still performs miracles. I will NOT be passive in my
journey with a vaccine-injured child. I will use this as a chance to educate
other parents, future parents, grandparents, and anyone else that will listen.http://vaxtruth.org/2011/
"Dear Keelan,
It’s been 4 long years since I have last seen your sweet little face and heard
your contagious laughter. I’m already in tears just remembering those days. It’s
easy for me talk about you and what an amazing, smart little boy you were, but
talking about 2 particular moments in your life is not as easy for me. The
first, the day you suffered a very serious, painful, and frightening reaction to
your immunizations, and second, your death. The two are not necessarily related
– one did not cause the other, and yet they are forever intertwined. I hope to
explain why in this letter to you.
You were born a healthy 7 pound 8 ounce baby. You loved to nurse and sleep in
your daddy’s arms. Everything changed on March 5, 2007 at around 2pm when you
received your first round of immunizations. You received Pediarix (a combination
shot containing 5 vaccines: Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Polio, and Hepatitis
B), Hib, and Pneumococcal. 7 vaccines in 3 injections were pumped into your
little legs in just a matter of seconds. From the moment you were “poked”, as
the nurse so gently put it, you began to cry. Our nurse assured us you would
calm down and to administer a dose of Tylenol or ibuprofen when we got you home.
She left and I tried to nurse you before putting you back in your car seat. You
refused to nursed and only wriggled and writhed in my arms as I tried to console
you. I tried in earnest to settle you down, but could not, so I put you into
your car seat and left hoping you would settle down in the car. We had been
through vaccinations with your older sister, and I admit, I felt confident you
would be ok. Nothing ever went “wrong” with hers.
Above: Big sister, Ellie, holding her new brother, Keelan
The ride home proved useless to console you. I brought you into the house, my
feelings of worry lessening thinking you were just hungry. I carefully
administered a small amount of ibuprofen. You choked a little but swallowed it.
As I went to unsnap you from your car seat, my mere touch sent you into a high
pitched screaming. If only I had known that your brain was beginning to
painfully swell due to the mass quantity of chemicals, toxins, and metals that
had reached your brain. Dread began to rise in my heart as I lifted you out and
tried to nurse you. You, again, refused to eat and your screaming began to turn
into airy rasps. I could clearly see you were in pain, unlike anything I had
ever seen before. I placed you in your bassinet and called the doctor’s office,
telling them what was happening. The nurse assured me you were okay, that this
kind of reaction was common. She told me to give you another dose of ibuprofen
and to rub the injection spots on your legs. I didn’t do either. I felt I had
put enough foreign chemicals into your body, and I feared an overdose of
ibuprofen. Massaging your legs seemed out of the question. I felt helpless as
you continued to scream. Your older sister looked traumatized watching you. She
was scared for you, too. After 4 hours of continuous screaming, Daddy came home
from work. He tried everything he could. He held you in those special ways you
loved so much, he encouraged me to nurse you again, but to no avail. At one
point, I lied you down on the floor and leaned over the top of you since my
touch seemed to trigger more pain. You nursed for a minute or two, but then
refused again.
I called the “Ask A Nurse” at a local hospital, frantic and in tears. You had
been crying for 6 hours now, continuously. The nurse tried to tell me ways to
soothe a crying baby, and told me to call back if you didn’t stop after I tried
several things. I tried them all: a warm bathe, a cool rag on your hot forehead,
a gentle tummy massage, swaddling, walking, etc. Nothing helped. I called back
after 2 hours and spoke to a gentleman nurse. He asked me ridiculous questions
like, “Is he gassy? Is he teething? Did you pinch his finger?” None of them made
sense, and no one seemed to listen to me when I told them this all started the
moment after your vaccinations.
You continued to cry until about midnight — 10 straight hours of non-stop
crying. My heart ached for you. You seemed so tired and worn out it was almost
like you passed out, but you were breathing — and silent. I let you sleep. You
woke up every 30 minutes to an hour crying a high pitched squeal – one I had
never heard before your vaccinations– but I was always able to get you back to
sleep.
As soon as the doctor’s office opened the next morning, I called. I talked again
to the nurse and told her about how the evening had gone. She assured me you
were fine. She said they see that type of reaction a lot. She told me that if
you reacted that way again after your next round of immunizations that they
would consider splitting up the doses. From that moment on I have given hours
and hours of research to the topic of vaccines. I am so confident now that
vaccines are not appropriate for children or adults. They cause more problems
than they solve.
After those shots, you were never the same. You always seemed inconsolable, as
if you were in pain. Days at home were so hard, and you seemed to never be able
to get enough hugs (which I loved). As you got older, it always seemed like you
thought something was inside your head. You would occasionally bang it on the
floor, the wall, or with your hands. And soon after the shots is when you
started to have those seizures. I didn’t realize that’s what they were until
long after, but those moments when you would just snap out of reality and stare
at absolutely nothing for several seconds? Those were staring seizures. You
would be mid-laugh, or mid-cry, and suddenly stop and stare for so long and then
continue laughing or crying several seconds later. I hope those didn’t hurt. I
wish I could have saved you from all that.
When you were a year and a half old, you were placed in the arms of our Heavenly
Father. There’s now a hole in my heart that will never be filled. That was the
hardest day (and following year) of my entire life. I have experienced
first-hand 2 of the many feared questions parents raise with themselves today:
“What if my child suffers a serious and painful vaccine reaction?” and “What if
my child dies?” If I had done my research before I ever took you (or your
sister) into that doctor’s office, I could have spared you so much pain. You
suffered for over a year. I have no idea what was going on inside your body, but
I know it was painful at times. I am grateful that despite these challenges, you
still developed normally and we have so many happy and fun moments to remember.
You started walking at only 9 months and talking 3 word sentences by the time
you passed away. I was so proud of, and I’m so lucky to be your mom.
My prayer is that your story might help another child, somewhere in this world.
My prayer is that your story might urge at least one parent, somewhere, to
question vaccines and to go beyond “what the doctor says.” My prayer is that so
many thousands of children don’t suffer and/or die in vain. Vaccines are
dangerous, and my child isn’t worth the risk. I’m sorry I didn’t know this
before your tragedy, Keelan.
‘Til we meet again, my little man.
I love you with all my heart,
Mommy"

"Landon was born in late November of 1999. He was our third child, a
surprise. He joined an older sister, then 6, and an older brother who had just
turned 2. The pregnancy was harder than my previous two, although not difficult
or high risk…it was just different. I felt more nauseous, more tired than
previously. I believe Landon’s eventual outcome, a diagnosis of autism, began
while still in utero. He was exposed to mercury through an amalgam I received
late that summer and I also received the flu shot with that pregnancy. I had not
done either with the other two pregnancies.
I remember going into the hospital on the morning he was born, I was being
induced. He was a week over due at this point. I did not expect it to “work”
that morning. Landon was born early that afternoon. Labor went quickly and he
was born quickly. He weighed 8lbs 12oz and was 22 inches long. He had lots of
dark hair and extremely dark blue eyes, they looked navy blue. He appeared
normal, and healthy at birth. His apgar scores were normal. He nursed well,
cried some, slept and did everything a newborn does. He cried heavily with the
injection of the Vitamin K shot, and the Hep B. These are the third and fourth
assaults on his tiny body.
We took him home after the required 48 hours in the hospital. All was well,
until New Year’s Day of 2000. He was just about 5 weeks old. He was feverish,
and his breathing was labored. I took him to the hospital where he tested
positive for RSV. He remained in the hospital for a week, where he received
large quantities of antibiotics and inhaled steroids. This is, I believe, the
fifth assault on his body. Even then, I thought this was too much for such a
young baby to handle or take on. His health was never the same after that
illness.
img036
Above: Landon before Autism diagnosis
He received all vaccinations on time, according to the CDC schedule at the time.
Every month we were in the doctor’s office for an illness. He was hardly ever
well. Respiratory infections, ear infections, fevers of unknown origin. Round
after round of antibiotics. February of 2001 he was back in the hospital, this
time it was vomiting and diarrhea with no known cause. He was there another
week. He lost some weight, but gained back quickly.
Despite all of this, at this time, he appeared to be a happy, social boy. His
development, while sometimes the last to meet his milestones, was within normal
range. He did show allergies to eggs, and milk at an early age. He would have
what appeared to be severe gas and stomach pains. There’s so much I didn’t know
at the time and even now as I write this, memories come flooding back of the
severe pain my son was in and other things I did not notice. The high pitch
screaming, the arching of his back, the sleeplessness OR being too sleepy. The
constipation that started when he was still an infant, but he would also have
diarrhea. He did not tolerate going to places like grocery stores or Wal-Mart
very well. He would cry, try to climb out of his cart. I believe now it was
sensory overload for him. He would also have little or NO reaction to very loud
sounds, and did not cry when hurt.
As a baby, he made great eye contact, played, interacted. He had great aim with
a ball, could throw right to you. He laughed, squealed and was a part of our
family in every way. He was not an easy child, but I just attributed that to
having a different personality. The signs were there, obsessions with light
switches, lining things up, clumsiness, and eventually he stopped making
progress. According to doctor’s records, his development started to slow down
and milestones were not being met on or around the age of 15 months. After he
received his MMR.
Landon was diagnosed with Autism in late 2004. His younger brother, Liam, was
just a few months old. I had already started vaccinating him. Liam was diagnosed
with Asthma at age 6 months. I think it was just a blessing from God, that I
don’t have a second son with Autism. The asthma diagnosis was not a happy time,
but we have managed it and he is doing fine. He has not received any
vaccinations beyond 1 year.
About 6 months to a year after Landon’s diagnosis, I dove head first into
research. We had been trying prescription meds and they were not working. The
effect would wear off and the dose would be increased. The potential side
effects scared me and I started to see signs of Tardive Dyskinesia. I stayed up
late, spent every free moment I could reading about Autism. I remember soon
after Landon got his diagnosis, I heard something about a vaccine connection. I
didn’t put much thought into it. I wish I had at the time. Once I finally did
and I researched it for myself, looking up the ingredients from the CDC website,
researching each and every one of them…I was disgusted, appalled and mad. Really
mad. I felt so stupid. So guilty. But also, so fooled.
Injecting this stuff into the body’s of my children was not in their best
interest and it truly went against ALL that I believe in as a Christian. In June
of 2006, we began the GFCF diet with him. We noticed some improvements right
away. Unfortunately, after a year on the diet, he declined. He lost weight, and
some behaviors returned. We have taken him to see a DAN! doctor, but it’s been
difficult financially. We have other children to care for, 6 in all, and income
has been limited. We have not had any big “wows” with bio-med, but I continue
with it and the diet because I know that eating healthy and taking some
supplements is what’s best for him.
Landon is now 11 years old. He has additional diagnoses of Hypotonia, PANDAS,
MTHFR mutation, immune dysfunction, speech delay, fine and gross motor delay. He
is thin, and it is difficult to get him to gain despite a VERY healthy appetite.
He struggles cognitively and socially. He still has nights he can’t go to sleep,
and mornings where he sleeps in very late. He has severe anxiety and flares of
OCD. He is on a rotation diet due to food allergies.
We have had two more children since Liam was born in 2004. Lauren was born in
August 2008 and is a happy, healthy, UNvaccinated 3 year old. She’s had a couple
of colds, but that’s it. Her development has exceeded our expectations. We could
tell a difference in her early on. I had another son in February of 2011. He
will remain UNvaccinated as well. His development is advanced. He is a happy,
very healthy boy.
If you are pregnant, or planning on becoming pregnant, or have just had a baby…I
URGE you, please research vaccine safety for yourself. They are not a “one size
fits all” intervention. They have side effects and you won’t know if your child
is at risk until it is too late.
I have learned so much on this journey, met some wonderful people. I have read
about things I have never even heard of, and learned things I thought I would
never have to learn. I also believe that this knowledge has helped me with my
other children. The regrets are always there, and some days they seem so big. It
was difficult to write this as so many memories surfaced and the tears flowed. I
hope our story helps someone. Children are not “acceptable losses” and they are
not just a part of the “herd”. They are gifts and blessings from God, and it is
up to us to protect them and teach them.
Sincerely,
Lori"
This is Lily’s story, as told by her mother. Lily was born perfectly healthy
in 2003 and was a happy, precocious baby who was advanced in meeting all of her
developmental milestones. By 9 months old she had been crawling for 2 months and
was well on her way to walking.

Lily was born perfectly healthy in 2003 and was a happy, precocious baby who was
advanced in meeting all of her developmental milestones. By 9 months old she had
been crawling for 2 months and was well on her way to walking.
After her 9 month vaccinations where she received a 4th dose of the Hep B shot,
Lily was a different child. She became very clumsy after immediately getting
sick after the vaccine. She became agitated and seemed to be in pain all the
time in addition to being severely constipated. She went on to receive her 12
month vaccines but continued in a downward spiral of one infection after
another, and unexplained crying for hours and hours at a time. She was slowly
drifting away from us socially and emotionally as well.
By her 15 month vaccinations, which included the MMR, I remember Lily saying a
few days later, “It hurts” and holding her stomach. Within several weeks after,
she became completely non-responsive, to the point that we thought she may be
deaf. She didn’t utter words for a very very long time. At 25 months old, Lily
was diagnosed with autism. We now know too late that Lily suffered all the signs
of vaccine injury. We would have realized if we had known to read the package
inserts, but we were never alerted by her pediatrician, even though we were in
the office almost every week for months.
I can’t begin to put into words how much our family has been devastated
financially and emotionally by autism. We have spent thousands and thousands of
dollars trying to undo the damage for Lily with biomedical and homeopathic
therapies that aren’t covered by insurance. I couldn’t work for many years
mainly because I had to be home to oversee therapies because no one else knew
how to manage my child. Her siblings have never experienced anything close to a
normal childhood because we are prisoners in our own home. We can’t travel
anywhere or do anything that a normal family does. There is no Disney World or
extended family vacations for us.
At age 10, Lily has benefited from years of therapy to improve her physical
health. She still has autism.
Lily has come very far with the help of diet, biomedical treatments, homeopathy
and our undying love, but she is still minimally verbal. What breaks my heart is
that this didn’t have to happen to her and so many other children.
This is LoRenzo’s story, as told by his mother.
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about my son, LoRenzo and my
personal issues concerning the government’s role in dealing with the injuries my
son has acquired through vaccines. I don’t consider my story anecdotal as I am
an expert when it comes to my son. I was advised that the flu shot was a good
thing when I was pregnant for my son. I of course, blindly trusted that as fact.
I did not know the ingredients of said vaccine nor was I offered an insert
listing the ingredients, side effects, or recommendations. Had that one thing
happened, I may not have been writing this.
I got the shot and was violently ill. When LoRenzo was hours old he received the
HepB shot which is an unnecessary vaccine for an infant. He was a lethargic baby
and did not cry. At 2 months he received multiple vaccines and lost the ability
to have bowel movements. He then cried all the time. At 4 months he stopped
responding to noises, cooing, and lost eye contact. At 6 months he stopped
crying unless he was in pain from not being able to poop. This was awful since
crying was the only way he could communicate. I had to guess if he was hungry
and constantly check to see if he was wet.
LoRenzo’s development was very slow from there. He could not hold his head up by
himself or sit up by the time he was 10 months. He didn’t walk until 17 months.
When he learned how to walk, he would stay in the corner of any given room
because the world was just too big for him. He preferred to be in his crib or
playpen until he was 2yrs old and he still could not talk.
At every “well baby” check I brought up my concerns citing these things happened
after every vaccine but was told boys developed slower and to wait it out.
Finally at 2½ yrs a friend of my sister’s told her my son had Autism after she
heard that he had not had an unassisted BM since he was an infant. My doctor
didn’t give me this info, a parent did. When I took th
is concern to the pediatricians, I was then told she had suspected this all
along but didn’t think I was ready for the news!? He was sent to the local
children’s hospital where they said it was too soon to diagnose his delay and
that again vaccines were not to blame. They tested his genetics, mine, his
father’s and came up with nothing. Mind you, NOBODY in either family had any
kind of connection to Autism, until my son.
LoRenzo will be 9 this December. My son can only speak a handful of 4-5 word
sentences. He was not potty trained until he was 6. He is hypersensitive to
light, textures, noise, and even certain foods. I am on disability and cannot
afford any treatment to help my son.
I did what the CDC recommended and held him down to receive multiple doses of
poison only to find out that LoRenzo was at high risk – yes, he is also
African-American. I told his doctor of my concerns at 8 weeks! “Wait it out” is
what I was told over and over again. Now at soon to be 9 my son is Autistic,
resources are next to nothing, and there is no recourse, no compensation for
having to wait it out! Early intervention is key they say, yet “they” are very
slow to give the parents a definitive diagnosis. I have found that I am not the
only parent who feels this way. It may be too late for my son but I shouldn’t
have to accept that, until all avenues of healing are explored with the expense
being picked up by those who knowingly caused the harm.
To Congressman Bill Posey: Thank you for your action in this matter and please
stay vigilant as the number of Autism parents is rising. Our rights to refuse
vaccines should be respected until such a time a truly unbiased study on
vaccinated vs unvaccinated is done.

Nathan’s story was shared by his mother.
Nathan’s story starts in October 2000, when I was pregnant with my fourth child.
I went to the pediatrician’s office to have the doctor get ready to take on my
4th child. She noticed that my son Nathan was not up to date on his vaccines, so
as a favor to us she decided it would be a good idea to catch Nathan up, since I
was getting ready to deliver my baby. That day Nathan received his before,
during, and after vaccines in one day.
Nathan was never the same. He went in perfectly healthy and left a very
different little boy.
He had this head-to-toe body rash that looked like he had the measles. Then it
would blister like chickenpox and start all over again. He had this rash for
three years.
Two weeks after Nathan received the vaccines, on October 31st, I had my 4th
child. I learned a few years later that Nathan’s MMR was recalled on that day.
Nathan continued to get worse. He had fevers of above 100 degrees daily. He
would scream in so much pain, he was inconsolable. He couldn’t talk anymore and
he couldn’t even walk without falling down.
He didn’t get better.
His rash was so bad that he had three biopsies done and over 200 dermatologists
couldn’t figure it out. Finally the CDC was called and ended up doing a deep
tissue biopsy of his rash. The findings pointed to his vaccines. Again.
Nathan kept getting worse. He was so sick.
I had 4 kids but Nathan took up all of my time. That Christmas Eve (2000), we
spent the night in the hospital E.R. because Nathan scratched his rash and it
became infected.
In January of 2001, Nathan’s blood work indicated leukemia. Later I found out
that leukemia was on the rise after the MMR was given. Long story short, Nathan
ended up having 3 biopsies of his rash, one of which was performed by the CDC.
He also had an optic nerve biopsy, which indicated Central Nervous System Insult
resulting from the vaccines. There were many MRIs, EEGs, spinal taps, and blood
draws, and at one point he had spent more than half his life in a hospital.
Finally, in April of 2003, one of Nathan’s ELEVEN doctors grabbed my hand and
said, “Nathan is very sick.” I asked him if Nathan could die. The doctor looked
me in the eye and said, “Yes.”
WHAT?!
I went in for preventative medicine and came out being told Nathan could die?
The strain of Nathan’s care was too much. My husband of 12 years left me and the
kids. I missed my oldest son’s first day of high school and my oldest daughter’s
first day of kindergarten because Nathan was in ICU.
I brought him home from the ICU after the doctor said, “Take him home and make
him comfortable.”
In the photo above, I was so exhausted, holding onto him, but I wouldn’t let him
go. The red mark on my hand was from me holding him down so he wouldn’t pull out
his IVs. I personally don’t like this photograph because of the memories… but
many families find find comfort in it, find hope. I pray that you share this
with everyone so that they may know my story, but also so that they may find
hope.
I even had to put my newborn in daycare. I have never had any of my kids, not
even once, have a babysitter, and here I was was, forced to put her in daycare.
I felt like the worst mother ever. I felt like I had given her away.
… a longer story short… During the time between 2000 and 2003, Nathan’s doctors
wouldn’t treat him. They left him in miserable pain. It wasn’t until November of
2003 that Nathan’s care was finally put into the hands of someone who cared.
That was when I attended my first DAN Conference.
Nathan was on the road to recovery.
Fast forward again…
During the time Nathan required 24-hour care, my other children were put on the
back burner. Not by choice but through necessity. I ended up having to sacrifice
my other kids to save the one. My oldest son said, “The day Nathan got sick was
the day I lost my mom.”
My daughter, Dominique, made a video for her Honors English Class about what
it’s like to have a brother with autism. Please watch it and share with anyone
and everyone. I’m letting you know now, grab a tissue. It’s powerful. This video
is a testimony to the struggles our entire family has had to go through. We
still face problems.
My youngest, Veruschka, has had to watch her brother be bullied at school.
I have raised four kids alone and almost lost my son because I trusted the wrong
people.
Autism has affected us in every way.

"My name is Alison MacNeil. My son Nick became Autistic following his 15
month shots in 2006.
This is a segment on Nick’s vaccine injury in a PBS Autism documentary I put
together with my father, Robert MacNeil formerly of the NewsHour, three years
ago.
After a healthy pregnancy Nick was born one month early by C-section at Beth
Israel Deaconness Hospital in Boston, MA 11/12/04. He was in the Nicu for 12
hours for observation. He received oxygen for 30 minutes on a C-pap machine and
two anti-biotics by IV, in the chance my early labor had been caused by Sepsis.
It had not. He was born 6 lbs 9 oz and his Apgar scores were good.
Within 30 minutes of being brought to me from the Nicu he was given the Hep B
vaccine. We were discharged together four days later. Nick latched and nursed
beautifully. He was a well-regulated and happy baby. He slept well and delighted
in watching his sister. He flirted with everybody over my shoulder and was
meeting milestones beautifully.
We vaccinated Nick exactly according to schedule as we had his older sister.
Between eight and nine months Nick began talking. He also received 2 infant flu
shots at one month apart and another Hep B shot. Looking back at photographs I
can see that this was when the lights began to dim. He lost his smile and began
to have back to back upper respiratory infections. At his first birthday I
noticed he still had the first three words but he wasn’t gaining new ones.
Between 12-15 months he had several bad upper respiratory colds. We gave him
Tylenol quite a bit more than I had needed to with my daughter.
At Nick’s 15 month appointment the Nurse Practitioner commented at what a busy,
happy baby he was, noting in the chart that he was on track for all of his
milestones. She then gave him the DTtaP, MMR and a version of the Hib called the
TriHib.
This photo was taken 10 days after Nick received the MMR, DTaP, and TriHib
vaccines at 15 months.
Within three days Nick developed an extremely bad cold with a croupy cough with
a whoop to it. He had a high fever, was lethargic and very, very irritable.
Around the tenth day he was inconsolable and I couldn’t put him down, he
screamed constantly, tugged at his ears and coughed incessantly. I was alarmed.
That night he finally fell asleep and so did I around 10pm. At 11pm our German
Shepherd woke me up because he was scratching at Nick’s door whining and
barking. I went to scold the dog and checked on Nick whose lips had turned blue
and he was struggling to breath. I wrapped him in his father’s down jacket next
to the door and raced one block on foot to the community hospital near our
house.
They gave him a shot of Decadron almost immediately after we arrived and put him
on back to back nebulizers. They discharged us around 3am and had put him on an
anti-biotic. They told me he needed to be seen by a pediatrician the next day
outpatient. It was Sunday so I was sent to the on-call of our practice which
happened to be a very prominent retired pediatrician in Boston who only did
weekend, on-call coverage. He examined Nick and said, “you do realize you have a
very sick boy here.” He told me Nick had a double ear infections and Bronchitis.
I gave Nick the antibiotic as prescribed, but Nick did not improve. One week
later I took him in to see the Nurse for a sick visit. She said “yes Nick’s ears
were full of fluid but that was to be expected after an ear infection. She said
I was over-reacting because I had told her I had recently had a miscarriage.”
She put Nick on Augmentin. Between 15-18 months I contacted our pediatrician six
times, we were given multiple back to back courses of anti-biotics, Nick was
seen repeatedly for sick visits. During this time I was told he had bad upper
respiratory infections.
During this time Nick lost all eye contact. He didn’t notice if you walked in
the room. He just sat about twelve feet from the tv staring at the screen. He
also became obsessed with watching the spinning clothes in the washing machine,
would spin his sister’s doll plates and would press his ears to the warm clothes
dryer. He lost the speech he had. He had putrid, foul diarrhea, often as many as
ten episodes a day all the way up his back and down to his knees, sometimes it
was just liquid. He got terrible blisters from this diarrhea, once with a wound
that bled and left a scar. He would only eat goldfish crackers, yogurt and
chicken nuggets. He screamed and cried all day. He was very irritable. He would
stare into space for long spells and his eyes wouldn’t shift if you put your
hand in front of them. He was gone.
About six times during this time he would scream out in his sleep a feral cry I
had never heard before as a mother. It was like nothing I had ever heard in my
life, so high pitched and intense. I would race to his crib and he wouldn’t
recognize me. I would hold him and he would lurch backwards out of my arms with
incredible force, I was afraid a few times I might drop him. In these episodes
he wouldn’t know how to latch on to nurse even though he’d been nursing for 16
months. It would take an hour or longer to calm him back to sleep. My
pediatrician assured me these were night terrors. I now know he was having an
encephalitic reaction in his brain. My pediatrician also told me the diarrhea
was “toddler diarrhea” because he drank too much juice.” We never gave Nick any
juice.
At 18 months I took Nick back to his pediatrician for his scheduled visit and I
laid out all of my concerns. My pediatrician looked visibly panicked when he saw
what terrible shape Nick was in. He ordered blood work, did a lead test and
wrote “rule out autism” on his medical record.
We went from “meeting all his milestones to rule out autism” in three months
after his 15 month shots.
Nick was in fact diagnosed with Moderate Autism at 21 months old. Nick was
subsequently diagnosed with: Absence Seizures, Lymphoid Nodular Hyperplasia of
the Small Intestine, Hypothyroid, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Severe Gut
Dysbiosis, Auditory and Visual Processing Delays.
At 4 years old, Nick wore a fireman's coat and sat next to the fence throughout
his entire summer program.
At 4 years old, Nick wore a fireman’s coat and sat next to the fence throughout
his entire summer program.
In 2010 Nick received the most complete Genetic Micro-array at the Cleveland
Clinic with Dr. Natowicz. He was unable to find even one deletion. Nick did not
have one genetic marker for autism.
Nick is nine years old now and has made nice improvements in his health but
remains Moderately Autistic. We spend on average $30k out of pocket on Nick’s
healthcare each year. Nick is in a substantially separate classroom with a 1:1
much of the day.
At 9 years, Nick remains moderately autistic, but thanks to years of hard work
to repair his body, from severe vaccine-injury his physical health is now
substantially improved.
We stopped vaccinating Nick when he was two years old. We no longer vaccinate as
a family.
I can’t put into words the suffering Nick has been through, the deep regret that
I have for listening to our pediatrician who gave us such poor care, my guilt
over not picking up on the signals that we were making this child sick with
vaccines and anti-biotics, my fear about what his life will be like as an adult
and after my husband and I die.
Nick’s Autism was preventable. He was born healthy and 36 shots concluding at 15
months took his future away and gave him Autism.
I want justice for my son. I want the people responsible for hurting him to be
held accountable. I want this dangerous vaccine schedule to be re-examined and
modified immediately so that not one more child be harmed.
By the way, my former pediatrician, who did all of this damage, teaches in the
Harvard Medical School Pediatrics program – so that’s as good as you get these
days I guess."
Alison MacNeil
"On January 29th, 2011, I went to a gynecological appointment with my fiancé
to discuss birth control pills and get my first set of HPV Gardasil
vaccinations. I believed the vaccine was important. I personally had never taken
the time to research vaccinations or Gardasil. I believed it was a part of the
‘healthcare’ system. I had seen the commercials and wanted to be ‘one less girl’
affected by cervical cancer. I didn’t know the ingredients, the real statistics
on HPV, cervical cancer, or even how long it had been studied and tested. I knew
nothing about the vaccine but trusted my doctors.
My Health before Gardasil
Prior to that visit, I had been dealing with spine issues and pain since I was a
teenager. In October of 2010 I had another injury that put me out of work and
aggravated my spine issues. I was prescribed heavy doses of muscle relaxers. I
had been taking those medications for the six months prior, but had weaned
myself off a couple weeks before my Ob/Gyn checkup. The muscle relaxers were
causing gastrointestinal (GI) complications in my body, exacerbating GI issues I
already had. I thought this appointment would be beneficial and I was happy I
had weaned off muscle relaxers two weeks prior. I was hoping to keep what small
progress I had going.
My First Gardasil Injection
Within the first few days and for the week after the Gardasil shot, I was
bedridden and sick with what we thought was a bad flu. It was also possible I
was having a reaction from the muscle relaxer withdrawal or the side effects of
my newly prescribed birth control pills. I stopped taking the birth control
pills after eight days and my symptoms worsened.
My mother and fiancé remember the physical changes when I wasn’t feeling well,
but those few days after Gardasil have blurred together for me. I was so sick.
The next days, weeks and months to come, I experienced the worst nausea,
weakness and most severe pain in every crevice of my stomach and body that I
have ever felt in my life. Even the other stomach sensitivities and spine/back
issues I had experienced previously paled in comparison to what happened to me
after getting Gardasil.
The Doctors
We went to every doctor appointment and tested everything we possibly could. The
tests kept coming back ‘fine’. (Ironically, they never tested for heavy metal
poisoning, which we found later I had. If any doctor would have known those
symptoms, I had nearly all of them, perhaps I wouldn’t have suffered for so
long.) None of the doctors said there could be any connection with Gardasil, but
we suspected otherwise. In fact, most told us just the opposite; that my
symptoms were definitely not caused by Gardasil. It was not until blood tests
taken outside of my doctor’s office nine months later that we discovered the
toxic stress, heavy metal poisoning and other toxins were filtering through my
bloodstream. (Gardasil ingredients included; we finally connected it with
certainty here.)
The Pain and Nausea
During this period of many months, for twenty four hours a day, every moment of
my life, I was nauseas, sick to my stomach and alternating puking. I could not
drink water or eat anything without getting sick. Digesting anything was
extremely painful. It hurt to move, to walk or to do anything. I could not even
wear jeans around my waist for seven months because of how painful my stomach
felt. I discovered new levels of dizziness. I was losing weight rapidly, up to
15 pounds a month, with limited activity.
Nicole Alexandra Before and After Gardasil
Left: me in December 2010, one month before Gardasil. Right: a year and a half
later, July 2012 after the extreme weight loss post Gardasil.
I tried to focus and meditate healing into my body to counteract what was
happening. I lost 100 pounds within that first year and a half. My diastolic
blood pressure dropped to the 50′s/40′s. It used to be consistently around
120′s/60-70′s. My hair fell out at the rate of my weight loss – quickly. Even my
tongue turned a grey black color in the center, and my eyes turned a slight
yellow.
The most challenging and embarrassing issues were the gastrointestinal problems,
which were each horrifying on their own. Every time I had to use the restroom,
it made me more ill than I already felt, and the pain I experienced is something
I will never forget. The pain in my stomach and body was disorientating. It
physically hurt everywhere. I struggled focusing, verbalizing my anxiety or
frustrations because I was feeling so toxic in my own body. I was in more pain,
more exhausted and more fatigued than I had ever felt. It was often overwhelming
and uncomfortable, especially trying to sleep with comfort or ease. Meanwhile
through all of this, I was told by my doctors that I had Irritable Bowel
Syndrome (IBS) and to go on a whole grain diet. That was the only advice they
had for us, after all my symptoms, IBS. We knew we needed other help and
resources.
Family Support
My family focused all of their efforts into helping me any way they could. I was
already seeing an acupuncturist outside of my insurance every week and she was
documenting my progressing issues as time went on.
We bought vitamins, herbs, protein powders, digestive enzymes, probiotics, and
fiber supplements to treat IBS issues. We began the first of many dramatic diet
changes to facilitate gut healing. After months of using these products, they
were helping on a small scale by not making things feel worse, with some slight
benefits. The nausea and pain were still constant. My back and whole body were
amongst the most excruciating pains and because of the pain, my mobility, energy
and strength were limited. As the months went by, I became further immobilized.
I walked as much as I was able. I tried swimming during the summer, but it
exacerbated my pain greatly. My physical therapist told me, “This was as good as
I was going to get.” We didn’t stick around with her after that.
Out of Desperation
We were at our tip of desperation after I returned from a two day trip with my
fiancé. We went out of town to see friends. It was traveling, something I hadn’t
done during this year of many changes. We were trying to make it work even with
my health complications. It was wonderful seeing my friends, but my body could
not recover from exhaustion after returning. We sought additional help. The
physicians we saw during this time had not helped, many would not help and
denied my symptoms. It was my acupuncturist, who stuck with us and tried to heal
me. She gave me the name of a chiropractor in the area. It was worth a try.
Chiropractic Health
One of our biggest blessings through this chaos was finding chiropractic care
and meeting my chiropractor, Dr. McKillican. He recognized the crisis my health
and nervous system were in and was the first sincere and genuine doctor that
strived to help us. A chiropractor was not on any of my insurance or among the
recommendations suggested to me, ever. In fact, I was advised to stay away from
them earlier in life. I know with my whole being that chiropractic saved my
life, especially during this crucial time of disease and sickness. I have been
getting weekly adjustments for nearly two years, beginning seven months after
getting Gardasil. Chiropractic adjustments have made significant and dramatic
improvements in healing and strengthening my nervous system and body. Regular
adjustments work on our nervous system to remove nerve interference within us
and to promote the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
Vital Hematology and Nutrition
Nine months after Gardasil, I worked with a vital hematologist to detoxify my
body naturally. We used a focused diet that included: juicing specific veggies,
fruits, herbs, multiple vitamins, digestive enzymes, colloidal silver, olive
leaf extract, glutathione, aloe vera juice. This regime greatly helped with my
unbearable, chronic nausea. It seems to have reduced the intensity of pain
throughout my stomach. I have had significant improvements in GI health.
This past year I also began working with a nutritionist to deal with the
continuous mending needed to repair my GI issues, adrenal dysfunction, energy,
appetite/food challenges and over all internal damages. I am thankful beyond
words for the healing I’ve experienced, and despite the pain and the many
challenges I have faced post Gardasil, my body is mending at the rate it can. I
use my energy to focus on this.
Two Years Post Gardasil
The issues I am still working on healing and mending are different two and half
years after Gardasil are the autoimmunity changes. These include:
gastrointestinal issues, body pain, appetite dysregulation and the ability to
eat enough, malabsorption of nutrients, low blood pressure and dizziness,
energy, sensitivity to cold temperature and chemicals.
Food and my appetite can be very overwhelming sometimes. I often don’t want or
have the desire to eat or I get full too quickly. I also get really hungry all
at once, often unexpectedly and painfully. The food and appetite issues are a
constant work in progress that is still very complex. They have become somewhat
easier to work with now than in the years before. I find focusing on ratios of
carbs, fats and protein I need helps. I have also eliminated foods with gluten,
GMO or that are processed. I no longer eat foods that are spicy or acidic
either. I eat raw organic veggies only juiced because my GI tract cannot
tolerate the un-juiced vegetables. I watch my sugar intake, including many
fruits, and other foods that I am sensitive to. I eat whole foods, organic
vegetables and fruits, good fats (butter and coconut oil have helped immensely
here) and as much healthy, grass fed, organic protein and protein shakes as my
body needs to be balanced. All this has helped substantially.
My healthy lifestyle is vital to keep my progress going. With nutrition,
vitamins, medicinal herbs, supplements, regular chiropractic adjustments,
removing as many toxins from my environment, and adding as much movement,
exercise, walking or stretching as I can, I am slowly improving. I also use
coffee enemas and drink alkalized water (and lots of it). My body now seems to
be on the path it needs to recover from the atrocity that Gardasil caused. Every
day is different with pain and energy levels, but I focus on the blessings,
because I know how much worse it can be.
The Support of My Family
It has taken a substantial amount of money, time and sacrifices from my
extraordinary mother and fiancé to care for me post Gardasil. Without them, none
of this progress could have been possible. I am more grateful and humbled than
ever to be alive and for all the amazing, most abundant love and support of
people I’m blessed to share my life with. I could not have come this far without
these wonderful people.
Gardasil changed my health, my life, and family’s lives forever; physically,
mentally emotionally, financially, and educationally. What I can give and share
with others through this experience is the truth, my experiences, and the real
facts and statistics regarding Gardasil. I plan to do this until this vaccine
exists no more.

"Parker was born in September 1996. He hit the same developmental milestones
as his older brother had two years before and was learning to walk, talk (about
15-20 words) and use a fork and spoon. He saw his family doctor when he was one
year old and was prescribed an antibiotic for cough and ear infections. We were
told he should have his vaccines in order to stay on schedule, and we
questioned the wisdom of so many shots when he was coughing and on antibiotics.
We were told that it was better to keep him on the schedule and that vaccines
are always good, always better than the alternative (getting some terrible
disease). So, we were sent to the county health department where they gave him
DTaP, polio, flu shot – seven vaccines at one time. His leg swelled and became
red and he cried a lot. In the next two or three months, his cough got worse,
his ear infections got worse, and he developed red sores (lesions) on both
cheeks (this is a classic adverse reaction to DTaP, but his doctor said
nothing).
When he reached 18 months, he was given the MMR, plus flu shot, chicken pox,
etc, eight shots at one time. Four hours later, he was red all over, had a 105
degree fever, and screamed all night. We repeatedly called the doctor and were
told that “some kids just have a stronger reaction than others.” We were told to
wait it out; Parker had the 105 degree fever for four days. Within 30 days, he
stopped saying words, stopped using eating utensils, and stopped responding to
his name. Within the next six months, he lost all eye contact with us, started
hand-flapping and spinning, and almost completely stopped sleeping.
The medical people insisted that this was all due to fluid in his ears and
recommended heavy doses of antibiotics, Claritin, and wanted to install ear
shunts. He was placed in an Early Intervention program at school and, after a
year, they recommended getting a diagnosis for autism. We struggled with this
decision because we worried about him being stuck in a special education
category for the rest of his life, but we decided we might benefit from special
programs and grants if he had it. We got his formal diagnosis at the Oregon
Health Sciences University’s Childhood Development and Recovery Center in
Portland, Oregon, in 2000. When the pediatrician (Dr. Robert Nickel) told us
that Parker had “moderately severe autism,” I asked him what we should do next,
thinking they would have some sort of treatment program or protocol.
He said to me and my wife, “Nothing. You do NOTHING. There is nothing you can
do. Autism is incurable and untreatable. Parker will be so violent and
uncontrollable by the time he is a teenager that he will have to be
institutionalized. There is nothing you can do to change this. The only thing we
are interested in is that you, as his parents, accept the diagnosis and LET GO
OF YOUR SON.”
I asked about the special diets and alternative treatments I read about on the
internet. I told him we had already started the Guten Cassien Free Diet and it
was having a dramatically good effect. The pediatrician said he had never heard
of such a diet and that trying treatments from the internet was dangerous and
useless. OHSU could run further tests but had no recommendations or treatments
to offer. I later discovered that this “autism expert” publishes articles in
medical journals in which he trains other pediatricians how to steer parents
away from “alternative” treatments. He had completely lied to us about his
knowledge on this subject.
We went through about seven or eight years of hell. Parker almost never slept
more than one or two hours a night. He was hyperactive and had severe screaming
meltdowns in public. His gastrointestinal tract was destroyed and he had severe
diarrhea several times a day (and night) for six years. He did not speak and did
not seem to understand anyone.We had constant battles with early intervention
aides and teachers who thought his special diet was silly and would give him
food without telling us.
Parker started seeing a DAN doctor in 2004. He has benefited greatly from the
GFCF diet and now is also on a Specific Carbohydrate diet. At the age of ten, he
finally stopped having diarrhea and started sleeping normally. His eye contact
returned, and with it his sweet and good-natured personality. He is slowly
learning to speak, and can communicate in a simple way with a laptop. His
language comprehension is excellent and he fully understands 90% of what is said
to him. He goes to the bathroom by himself and can shower and dress himself with
minimal help. He now seldom has meltdowns or screaming fits, but as he goes
through puberty he has begun to have occasional seizures.
We have tried many “alternative” treatments, and almost all have helped a
little; so far nothing has been a dramatic “miracle cure.” We’ve done special
diets, supplements, Secretin, Glutathione, Methyl-B12 injections, heavy metal
chelation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cranio-sacral therapy, and many more.
Parker has improved in many ways. He still needs help with all of his daily
routines, but he is getting more independent all the time. He is very happy and
good-natured and is enthusiastic about learning how to read and write and speak.
We believe that many kids with complex and varied conditions have been given the
autism diagnosis, and they are all individuals. There is no “one size fits all”
treatment or therapy. For Parker, it was essential to fix his medical problems
first – address his yeast overgrowth, his bowel inflammation, and his toxic
chemicals – before he was really ready to start learning and communicating
again. It is obvious now that most of his behavioral issues – the meltdowns,
strange postures and spinning, self-injury – were related to his level of pain,
and as we have slowly fixed his biomedical problems, he has become happier and
more easy to communicate with.
One thing we had not anticipated when we decided to get the diagnosis was the
reaction of insurance companies. Since autism is considered incurable and
untreatable, insurance companies will deny payment for almost any treatment if
the word autism is mentioned. We have paid for most of Parker’s healing and
semi-recovery out of our own pocket. We have come to view the autism diagnosis
as a trash bin where kids like Parker are thrown so that no one will be forced
to take responsibility for their healing or answer any questions about what
happened to them. The advice from the pediatrician-autism expert at OHSU was a
self-fulfilling prophecy; If we had done nothing and given Parker three bowls of
chocolate ice cream and a bowl of macaroni and cheese every day, he would have
become uncontrollably crazy and violent and he would now be locked up, and the
autism expert would have been proven right.
We started this believing in the wisdom and experience of medical professionals,
and we believed that we were being exceptionally smart and responsible parents
by getting immunizations for our kids. We believed that we could trust the
answers that physicians gave to our questions. We are now very angry and resent
the medical people who have lied to us and abandoned us. We are dismayed to
learn that the government regulatory agencies that are supposed to protect us
are now controlled by pharmaceutical corporations, insurance companies, and
vaccine manufacturers. We see the Vaccine Injury Compensation Court award
damages for vaccine-induced “encephalopathy that causes autism-like behavior”
while our child is told that vaccines don’t cause “autism” and his “autism” is
untreatable and no one will help pay to make him better. The same corporations
also control most of the media and medical journals, so they can shape what the
public believes about these issues and even control what physicians believe and
say to their patients about it. I’m not happy that this makes us sound like
conspiracy-theorists, but I also can’t lie about what has happened to us and
what we have learned.
I am an independent film maker and I have been working for several years on a
documentary film about this. I had nearly given up finishing the film due to
lack of funding and what I saw as a lack of interest from people who have not
personally experienced autism/vaccine injury themselves. We are hoping that
sites like VaxTruth and The Canary Party indicate a larger number of people
speaking up and demanding change.
Parker is now 14. He has a 16-year-old brother, Tyler, who is his best friend
and cares for him deeply. We will continue to help him recover from his injury
24/7, 365 days a year for the rest of our lives."

post please see: NatureMoms]
My journey really began on day two of my son’s life. His birth was pretty easy
and when I had finished laboring I had a perfect little boy in my arms. He was
calm and curious right from the start. He had many guests that day and all
marveled at how serious he looked and how he didn’t cry at all. He slept in a
bassinet next to my bed in perfect peace and he breastfed immediately and
without trouble.
Then on day two the nurses came to get him and give him a Hepatitis B shot. At
the time I had no reason to think I should not give consent. I knew nothing
about vaccines except the fact that Doctors tell you need them and schools
require them. Had I known he was being vaccinated against a sexually transmitted
disease I might have questioned it but I am not sure. frown
emoticon
The baby they brought back to me was not the same baby they left with. This was
not my calm, serene baby. This baby cried furiously, refused to fall asleep in
the bassinet, or even be put down. I joked several times that we had a baby
mix-up going on here but I tried to dismiss all thoughts that maybe…just maybe
the vaccine did this. One day wasn’t really enough time to know if there had
been a REAL change in his behavior right?
When I brought him home he had to sleep in the crook of my arm to be able to go
to sleep. You could not put him down for even a moment or he would scream.
Family members had to help with the constant holding and since I rarely got a
break…or any decent sleep…I gave up on breastfeeding after only 4 months…a
decision I regretted.
He went in for more shots at 2 months and 4 months old. Each time he would
become sick for an extended period of time but his Doctors assured me that I did
not need to worry. He was sick so often that I decided to delay his six month
vaccinations until he was 10 months old…at which time he got a DTP shot. This
shot changed our lives forever. frown
emoticon
He became very ill after the shot with a high fever that lasted for days. The
doctors kept telling me it was normal. When his fever jumped to 104 degrees I
got in the car with him and went to the emergency room. In the triage they
confirmed his fever and sent us out to the waiting room. I sat and held my son
and began to notice something strange. I can’t explain it other than to say that
I felt that he was leaving me. He was gradually loosing eye contact and
alertness and his eyes and arms were ever so slightly twitching. When I started
snapping my fingers in front of him and he didn’t respond I freaked out. I ran
into the triage and told them something was terribly wrong and described what I
was seeing. A young nurse scooped him up and took him into a nearby room and
began examining him. He also tried to get my son’s attention and when it didn’t
work I could see panic on his face. Then my son’s twitches turned into a full
blown, violent seizure. The nurse got on the intercom and called for immediate
assistance. Two other people came and they wheeled him into another room. I
stood just outside trying to see what was going on and I recall that they told
me they were going to give him an anti-seizure medication and then one of them
ran outside and yelled to all the medical staff, “we need to bag him!” He had
gone into respiratory arrest. His room filled with about 10 people and they
ushered me away.
Fearing the worst I called my husband at the nurse’s station but I couldn’t even
get the words out…I could only cry into the phone. A nurse had to give him the
details because I couldn’t. After he got there they explained to both of us that
our son was being air-lifted to a hospital that could handle this type of
situation. We had to follow in our car and over the next week he stayed in the
hospital with the first days being in ICU on a ventilator.
I knew in my heart what had caused this and when I asked the treating
neurologist about it…he would only say that I should trust my instincts. He
wouldn’t give absolute confirmation but he wanted me to know that I was right.
At a later time he would tell me that my son was not a good candidate for any
further vaccinations. I also found out that my son most likely had an immune
disorder at the time he got that last vaccination and really should have never
received it. But medical professionals do not currently check things like that.
Vaccines are one size fits all.
Unfortunately for my son this information was too late. He had many more violent
seizures and he ended up with mild brain damage and since his seizures would not
stop they decided to start medicating him for epilepsy at age 5 after he almost
fell down a flight of stairs during a seizure. I was not happy about medicating
him but I did take comfort in the fact they said it didn’t have to be permanent
and that I could evaluate alternative therapies in the mean time.
In between these two events though I became pregnant again and the issue of
vaccines came up on a discussion board. I was horrified to find that I still
wasn’t committed to denying all vaccines for my new baby….perhaps rationalizing
that my son’s case had been unique. Another mom suggested that I retrain myself
and start researching vaccine injuries. I did and I found that my son’s case was
not unusual. There are thousands upon thousands of children that have been
harmed by vaccines. And alarmingly I found even more confirmation that vaccines
had caused my son’s injury when I found hundreds of stories just like his.
By the time my second child was born I was confident in my choice to decline all
vaccines. Of course that is only half the battle. Sticking to your guns on the
issue can be challenging because I met with many moms and doctors that were down
right militant when I expressed my opinion on the issue. They act as though they
know what is best for your child and they hope to shake some sense into you so
you can be the good, vaccinating parent your child deserves. They dismiss all
protests that vaccines can injure children by talking about how the statistics
show that the number adversely affected is so small it barely matters…..yeah
right…unless you are the parent of one of those insignificant statistics. And of
course they talk about all the good that vaccines do, ignoring the fact that
many other factors besides vaccinations have contributed to a decline in these
diseases. But if you stick you your guns…it gets easier to deal with these
people.
Contrary to what others might say I do not write about these things to convince
other parents that vaccines are bad and that they need to deny them. I just want
other parents to know that there is risk involved. I would “think” that most
parents would want to know about that. I believe in informed consent. Tell all
parents both sides of the issue….the good, the bad, and the ugly, and allow them
to choose for themselves. Right now most parents are only getting one half of
the whole story and they are basing their decision to vaccinate on that
incomplete data. Tell them that there are risks!!!
If they still decide to vaccinate that is fine…at least they know the whole
story and they made a conscious decision. I will not fault them for their
decision at all. I just hope that they can see why I and many other parents
decided that the risk was too great and respect our decision as we respect
theirs. Meanwhile I share my son’s story to help other moms see that there is
another side to this issue that many don’t want you to know about. It is your
right as a parent to know the whole truth.
So how is my son doing today? Much better! We have made a lot of changes in our
lifestyle to eliminate further chemical exposure, we have made many dietary
changes, and we have learned to adjust. I am happy to say that I after the
changes we made I was confident that he could function without the epilepsy
medication. Call it mother’s intuition. smile
emoticon I was right. He has been off meds for 6 months and he has had no
seizures. His weight loss has reversed itself and he is at a much healthier
weight now and he no longer scratches his arms until they are a mass of bleeding
wounds. It has been a long road but we are seeing a light at the end of the
tunnel. I now realize that we were not one of the unlucky ones. We were one of
the lucky ones.

Above: Timmy in the NICU
"Meet Timmy. He is a loving boy with big eyes and the longest eyelashes you ever
did see. Timmy’s smile makes people happy. And in order to properly meet Timmy
you must meet his twin brother, Xander who is handsome and compassionate on a
level that most adults fail to achieve. They are quite simply, the loves of my
life.
As twins often do, the boys came 7-weeks early. Xander was the “sick” one; was
intubated and I was not able to hold him for the 1st week of his life. Timmy was
the healthy one; on room air within 24 hours and bottle-feeding by the end of
the week. Our second night in the hospital, I was awoken at 2 am by a doctor
asking me to sign vaccine consent forms and was told that they would be given in
the morning. The NICU nurse confirmed that they were given that day. After a
couple weeks in the NICU Timmy was close to coming home or so we thought. He was
the epitome of good health: out of his incubator, breastfeeding, crying
appropriately, healthy blood work, no bradycardia and gaining weight.
But then suddenly a couple weeks later, his health began to decline and was
nowhere near ready to come home. He stopped crying; he stopped making any noise.
He could not stay awake for more than 10-15 minutes. He could no longer
bottle-feed much less breast feed. He had to have a nasal gavage put back in.
And then his head began to grow rapidly. Everyday it was bigger. Everyday it was
a different shape. I, not the doctors or nurses, discovered this. Every day I
went to the NICU and took pictures of my twins. Every night I went home and
hooked myself up to the breast pump and would flip through the pictures on the
camera. It was kind of like looking at an old-fashioned flipbook because I would
change the pictures so quickly to see how they grew each day. Then one night I
panicked. It was not Timmy’s body that was changing; it was his head. His head
grew so rapidly in a few days that I could see it on camera.
I called the NICU at 2am and said they need to get the doctor because something
was seriously wrong. By the time I got into the NICU in the morning, they said
that after an ultrasound of his brain, they saw no explanation for the head
growth especially since his Grade1 IVH had completely resolved. I asked if this
head growth was related to his this decline and these multiple changes. They
said they did not think so but that even though those were all common matters in
the NICU they were still concerned that they were happening. Timmy’s head
continued to grow. One day his head was so misshapen that I had to leave the
NICU to throw up; I was terrified. And he was definitely not coming home soon.
Xander came home at 4 weeks. Timmy however did not come home until his 5th week
since he continued to have feeding problems. We were at a level 5 NICU, at what
is considered to be a top-notch hospital. I trusted them when I should not have.
It was not until years later that I discovered the truth behind my son’s first
serious regression. But since I had assumed what I had been told was true, I
continued to vaccinate him. 4 years later (too many vaccines later and too many
regressions later) I finally pulled his NICU files, read through them with
horror and had a few new doctors look over them. All three doctors have told me
he was clearly vaccine injured. It never gets easier to be told this.
What I found out from his hospital files was that he did not have a Hep B shot
on July 16 like I was told. Rather he was given the Hep B shot on July 31, a few
days before he was going to come home. At this time, he was 2.5 weeks old
meaning he was still 4.5 weeks prior to his due date. Within a day he started
having negative reactions; slept constantly, could no longer breast feed and
stopped making noises. Shortly thereafter he could barely bottle feed and was
re-gavaged. Within 5 days of the Hep B vaccine you could visibly see that his
head had grown inches. Within 7-8 days he and his brother both had a blood
transfusion because their vitals were too low and they were both having
bradycardias again. Xander went home at 4 weeks. Timmy finally came home on
August 18 after a 5 week NICU stay.
Once home I could never get him to breastfeed again even with lots of help from
the lactation consultant, but I continued to pump. On September 15, which was 9
weeks after he was born and only 2 weeks after his due date he was given DTAP,
IPV, Prevnar, and HIB. His head size increased even more and he could barely
lift it anymore. He had been struggling with tummy time but now it was nearly
impossible; his neck and core muscles had not strengthened quickly enough to
match the size of his head. As a result he developed torticollis and we began
physical therapy and quickly added Occupational Therapy. Thus began our life of
figuring out what therapies he needs and what doctor to see next.
By 6 months his head was so big that the Neurologist sent us to the Neurosurgeon
to look over his MRI to determine whether he needed a shunt. Luckily the growth
had tapered off by then and he saw no extra fluid on the brain to indicate
hydrocephalus. He was very weak, had low muscle tone and was not developing like
his brother in any way. The doctors kept telling me that he would catch up. He
did not sit up on his own until his first birthday. By two years old he still
had not said a word and was delayed developmentally. Plus he was not walking and
there were no real signs that he would soon. Around that age his PT was doing an
assessment and noticed his hand flapping. She asked me slowly if he did this all
the time. I said it was brand new. We went over the list and she looked at me
with tears in her eyes and said, I think my company needs to refer you to
someone who can provide you with more help than “just” OT, PT and ST; we needed
hours of ABA. I made her say the words, “autism”.
We started ABA when he was 2.5. He began to make improvements and he began to
say a few words!! Just before age three, his personal Neurologist and Regional
Center’s Neurologist both diagnosed him with Autism. Just before his 3rd
birthday he started walking. Then one month after his third birthday he had
another major regression. He lost all his newly formed words, he lost all
interest in watching TV, he no longer could do simple puzzles, he barely
responded to his name, he was barely sensitive to pain. So much of him was lost
that month. I don’t know what caused that regression but his current doctor
believes it could be due to seizures.
Today, Timmy does OT, PT, ST and ABA therapies. He has done numerous biomedical
treatments to help heal his health issues. Timmy is still non-verbal. He has
seizures. He has PANDAs. He has gastro-intestinal issues. He is hypotonic. He is
still very delayed. But in the past few months there have been so many
improvements: he has started making an approximation for “Hi” from time to time,
he can now do simple puzzles much better, he is looking at books for the first
time ever, he can now walk up and down the stairs, he is starting to dress
himself, he shows affection to his family, he is sleeping better, he is a pretty
happy boy. But he is still fragile, he is still vaccine injured.
Some days I struggle with releasing myself from guilt. I should have looked over
all the hospital files when in the NICU. I should have seen what is now so
blatantly obvious; I should have figured all this out before I continued
vaccinating him. I should have….. Guilt gets you nowhere and becomes
debilitating if you let it. I don’t have time to be debilitated. Timmy does not
have time for me to be debilitated; he needs me pushing to help heal his body,
he needs me energized to help him teach him how to put his pants on, he needs me
happy so I can love him without guilt.
The Hep-B Vaccine injured my son. I did not have Hep-B and there for I could not
have passed it to him at birth. My baby did not have promiscuous sex or do IV
drugs and I don’t know of any babies who do. There was zero reason for him to
have the Hep-B vaccination. NONE. I share my story with you in hopes you will
think twice about giving your child this vaccine or any other for that matter.
The Hep-B Vaccine injured my son; don’t let it injure your child."
Love,
Timmy’s Mom
When Lu Jiarun was just 7 months old she could stand and would wake up each
morning calling "papa". Lu Weiwei felt he was among the happiest men in the
world, but a vaccine meant to save his little girl from getting sick did the
complete opposite and ended his happiness for good.
In 2009, her mother took the little girl to a local health center to be
vaccinated against meningitis. On returning home, the girl began crying before
going into convulsions. After treatment at different hospitals, her condition
deteriorated and medics said it was caused by a reaction to the vaccine.
After numerous twists and turns in claims for compensation, finally the family
got 120,000 yuan from the local government. But the money could only support her
treatment to the end of 2012, when they faced extreme hardship again. After
years of treatment, the child did not recover.
In 2009, 17-year-old Fei had a good opera voice and was eager to join an art
college. In November, she asked her parents whether she should get the H1N1 flu
vaccine. Her father had already received the vaccine and advised her to do so.
But it was a decision they regret.
After the injection, she started getting pains in her joints. The next day she
started bleeding from her eyes and was diagnosed with a blood disorder. Doctors
said the only possible treatment was a marrow transplant. But a successful
marrow match was not found in time and on March 8, 2010, her illness
deteriorated and she died.
Later, the girl's mother found the production company of the vaccine was
suspended for making fake vaccines.
"How could the fake vaccines pass examination and be purchased by the
government? How many more families like me have lost their children because of
fake vaccines?" asked the mother.

In May 2009, Dong's birth brought great joy to the family. Seven months later
she was vaccinated against meningitis, but soon developed complications. On the
same day, she got a fever and later went into convulsions.
A few days later, the doctor told them the child had untreatable irreversible
cerebral lesions. The family was awarded compensation of 300,000 yuan.

Zhang Wen was once a healthy child who played the drums and was eager to enter
art college.
In October 2009, a measles vaccine changed her life. A week after the injection,
Zhang began coughing and a runny nose. Later she got back pain and had
difficulty going to the toilet Zhang said felt like she was wearing scalding
shoes and would rather die. She asked to give up treatment several times.
After years of treatment, Zhang is still weak and can only go to school for a
half day. The drum kit is discarded in the basement covered in dust.

"My daughter was born Dec 20th. I had a natural birth. She had a little baby eczema that would flair here and there. They asked me if I wanted to vaccinate in the hospital, I declined. I talked with her pediatrician and we decided to put off her shots because I was still unsure about them. I have a son that is 3 that is developmentally delayed. I believe vaccinations had some ting to do with that as well but that's a whole other story. Anywho, I decided to wait until kat was 3 mos old to start her vaccinations and that she would only receive 2 at a time so we decided to de her dtap and the rotarix. The day she had her vaccinations her skin immediately started to change. By the second day she had open oozing wounds all over her face, neck, chest and back. It was all over her but those areas were the worst. I haven't vaccinated her since then. I know this is long, lol.
"My daughter Audra's vaccine injury story..
11 years ago when my daughter was 10 months old she had a severe adverse
reaction to the Hep B and DTAP vaccines. Audra received her vaccines on a
wednesday and was totally paralyzed and on life support by Sunday. We dissected
the prior month of her life and just couldn't figure it out until Dr Noorani
asked "Has she received any vaccinations within the last 30 days?" and we were
like " Yes this past Wednesday."
Thats when our life changed forever. After the doctors arguing over what was
wrong and how it happened they finally agreed she needed an MRI. Thats when they
seen it all. The vaccines had attacked her immune system and destroyed the
myelin around her spinal cord.
She was then diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis and acute demyelinating
encephalomyelitis secondary to the Hep B and Dtap vaccines. The CDC was called
and On her firsts 4th of July she was in surgery receiving a tracheostomy. We
spent 4 solid months in ICU and inpatient rehab. Then 2 months in almost home
PICU.
Audra remained trached and vent dependent for three years. Then she was strong
enough to be off the vent and eventually had the tracheostomy closed. Sadly we
were not so lucky with the paralysis. To this day she still remains paralyzed
and confined to a wheelchair . She has neurogenic bladder that requires her to
be cathed 3-4 x a day. She has problems with her bowels and has to take miralax
and at times has to be "helped" to have a bowel movement.
In the years since we have been in and out of the hospital and in 2012 the
spinal surgeries began. Due to the paralysis she has dextroconvex scoliosis that
puts pressure on her left lung and heart.
She had to have VEPTR rods(titanium rods) placed in her spine and ribcage that
have to be grown and / or replaced every 6 months until she stops growing. This
is a confirmed and proven vaccine injury case. It was reported to VAERS and we
took it to vaccine injury court. The federal court deemed that without a doubt
vaccines done this to her.
You cannot sue the doctor, nor the pharmaceutical company. They have a
compensation fund set aside just for this. If this was one in a million why the
funds? Vaccine injures are real and can be even worse than what Audra and our
family goes thru.
We could have lost her. She flatlined 4 times during the fist week of her
hospital stay. After she was diagnosed it was my mission to find out everything
I could about vaccines. IT MADE ME SICK.. What they are made from how they are
grown and how safe THEY ARE NOT.
During our stay there were 4 other families with vaccine reactions. so that
means 5 families in June of 2003. Thats not one in a million because we weren't
the only ones that year. All I can say to parents is educate yourselves and
RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH. You don't have to vaccinate , you have the right to
decline and yes your child can attend public schools without vaccines (Exemption
forms). You can also choose to delay until older. And also you can do them one
at a time. If you have any questions about Audra or anything I have written I am
always open to talk. I help in any way I can. Just remember ultimately its your
child AND YOUR CHOICE. Don't feel pressured or bullied, and DONT ever be ashamed
of the choice you make for YOUR CHILD."

"...His scream was cry-encephalitis, also known as the DTaP scream. It is brain inflammation. It is literally an allergic reaction to vaccines in the brain. It is not uncommon. Had I taken him to the ER, it would have been documented with an EEG. Instead I was lied to by my pediatrician’s office until the event had passed..."
"...Our whole world changed the day we took him in for his 12 month well baby

vaccine in the muscle of his leg (I later learned that
MMR is to be given subcutaneously, not intramuscularly), the injection site

"This is my beautiful daughter Isabella. Bella developed normally up until

recognise them as seizures.
Although my gut told me not to give her any more vaccinations I eventually
succumbed to pressure from her doctor and gave her the 12-month-vaccinations. At
this time her seizures went from 20 a day to over a hundred a day. She also
stopped trying to crawl, stopped pulling to stand etc.
My following two children have not been vaccinated and both are healthy and
fine. Bella is now in a wheelchair and a pediatric neurologist has told me that
her condition was 'triggered' by her vaccinations. I have started on a
homeopathic program to try to recover my precious girl. .."

Nicole Gardner "I want to share my story.. I will not let my daughters death
be for nothing! My daughter Skyler Rayne was born may 17 2012 at a healthy 8lbs
6oz. She was perfect.. I had not been warned or told of the dangers of
vaccines.. We took her in for her four month shots-big one was the dtap..she got
shots in both legs and one in her mouth.. Took her home and she never got a
fever but she was not herself. She was sleeping a lot more and super cranky.. I
assumed she was just growing and teething.. I was wrong. Three days later after
I put her down for a morning nap I had no idea it would be the last time I got
to see her pretty smile. After two hours I told my husband to go check on her..
I will never forget the scream that came out of my husbands mouth. It haunts me
to this day.. We never had blankets or anything in her crib.. We followed every
safety guideline.. She was pale and not breathing. I knew when my husband found
her she was gone. He proceeded to do CPR until the ambulance got there which by
the way seemed like hours.. We rushed her to the er where the doctors went above
and beyond to try and save her.. It was too late.. Her perfectly healthy lungs
just quit working and thank god she passed peacefully in her sleep.. The coroner
pulled us aside off the record and told us he knows it was the vaccines but
sadly its very hard to prove that so he had no choice but to call it SIDS...I
wish I knew now what I did not know then...I have a perfectly healthy 15 month
old rainbow boy who has never had one shot and he is the healthiest smartest kid

Motrin as the doctor recommended, alternating every 4 and 6 hours. He wouldn't
eat and was very lethargic. I thought it was because of the fever. He didn't eat
much for about a week and he cried (screamed) inconsolably for the most part of
every day for almost two weeks. When he wasn't crying, he was blank or
depressed. He seemed almost "drugged" or altered somehow. He wasn't talking or
even babbling. He wouldn't play with his toys or with his brother, who he never
let out of his sight. He sat with a blank stare. He wouldn't make eye contact

bright red, or sometimes yellow..."
Baby dies after injection of Hepatitis B vaccine
A 44-day-old baby, named Nguyen Ngoc Minh, died around 2 p.m. on Friday, six
hours after having been injected with Hepatitis B vaccine at Ngoc Thuy Ward
medical station in Hanoi’s Long Bien District.
According to Dr. Nguyen Thi Thuy, director of Long Bien District Preventive
Health Center, the baby’s family agreed to let the Forensic Department conduct
an autopsy on the infant to determine the cause of death.
The center also demanded the Bac Giang General Hospital to temporarily cease
using the Euvax B vaccine, as well as requesting health officers monitor the
health of the 193 babies who were also injected with the vaccine, produced by
South Korean-based LG Co.

By Crystal Butler, Chicopee Massachusetts
My daughter, Skylee, was a healthy young lady prior to vaccination with Gardasil
– she had the occasional cold but no major health issues. Like many of her
peers, she enjoyed music and going to concerts. She enjoyed being a teenager
simply hanging out with friends in and out of school. All of this changed after
she was vaccinated with Gardasil.
Skylee had her 13 year old physical on 21st August 2013. Her doctor recommended
the Gardasil vaccine. I didn’t know much about it, so I texted my sister-in-law,
who is a nurse, and asked her if she was going to get it for my niece. Her reply
to me was yes, she had already had this vaccine. Then, I asked the doctor who
strongly recommended it. She said she was going to get it for her daughter as
soon as she is old enough. I figured it must be safe if they are both
recommending it.
I was unaware of all the side effects that are listed in the prescribing
information pamphlet that the doctors do not show patients as that comes inside
the box containing the Gardasil vaccine. I was only aware of the minor side
effects listed on the paper they hand out that lists pain, swelling itching and
bruising at injection site, as well as fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting and
fainting. I allowed her to get her first and only dose of the Gardasil vaccine.
Twelve days later, on the 2nd of September 2013 Skylee’s symptoms started. She
had pain down her entire spine from the top of her neck to the bottom of her
tailbone. This pain increased as time went on. Every couple of weeks she would
get new symptoms, some lasting days, weeks and even months.
These symptoms included:
Pain through her whole back, including her arms and legs; shoulder pain
Chest pains, stomach pains
Headaches, stabbing pains in her head
The need to constantly crack her fingers, toes, ankles, back and neck
Chronic Fatigue; weakness; walking from class to class is too much sometimes;
shortness of breath
Dizziness; seeing green and red spots; the words on the paper moving at times
and not making sense; not being able to comprehend what she is reading; constant
need to move her eyes
Nausea, vomiting, and fever
Dry eyes, dry mouth
Light sensitivity, has to wear dark glasses inside the home and at school
blurred vision – at times unable to read or write because of dizziness, vision
problems, (teachers and her peers have to read and write for her)
Jittery, mood swings, fast talking, forgetfulness, irritable
There have also been some strange episodes when all of a sudden Skylee will have
a blank stare and is unable to speak or walk. During these times she can hear
and see what is happening around her, but unable to move. She can laugh and is
able to move her eyes and moan though, so we have found a way to communicate
with her during these episodes. The episodes last from 15 minutes to 2 hours.
She has had numerous episodes in many places including the ER, school, home, in
the car, and in the shower.
There was one time when we were taking her for bloodwork and Skylee was – well,
out of it. We had to pick her up from the truck, put her in a wheelchair and
then put her back into the truck the same way after the tests had finished.
All of the symptoms listed below she has experienced over the past year.
Sometimes she will have only a few; sometimes it will be ten at once. Symptoms
can last for hours, days, weeks, or even months. What is so strange is that the
symptoms are always changing with new ones still showing up.
Burning eyes;
Hot flushes, night sweats, heavy periods;
Tightening of her chest; tingling in arms, legs, fingers and toes;
Poor balance; motion sickness; room spins; difficulty in focussing;
Nose bleeds; eye pains; easily bruised;
Legs, hands, feet and ankles cold to the touch;
And many of the symptoms identified above
The one symptom she has had every day after that one injection of Gardasil is
the constant pain the entire length of her spine. The pain usually runs between
8 and 10 on the pain scale. When she takes Aleve or Ibuprofen the pain level
goes down to a 6 on the pain scale. She has to take these medications daily.
Skylee has been to see numerous doctors including the Pediatrician who she has
been with since birth, two different neurologists, a spine and sport facility,
an orthopaedic specialist, a urologist and eye doctors, a rheumatologist and
physical therapist and a holistic practitioner.
She had to be taken to the ER on three different occasions. She has been
subjected to many tests including an MRI scan, X-rays, ultra-sound, full eye
examinations and numerous visits to the laboratories for extensive blood work
including testing for heavy metals.
The results of all of this testing and some official diagnoses are that Skylee
has a complex cyst on her left kidney which will be monitored every 6 months;
her EEG’s showed seizure like activity with very sharp brainwaves and spikes in
her brainwaves.
They also discovered that she has an arachnoid cyst on her brain which has been
followed up, and thankfully it is not growing. This will continue to be followed
up annually to make sure it does not increase in size. We have been advised by
the neurosurgeon that this cyst would cause a different set of symptoms, mainly
a change in her coordination level.
Skylee also has vitamin D deficiency. The results from the heavy metal testing
were high.
In addition to the above she has been diagnosed also with these disorders:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome;
Chronic Pain Processing Disorder;
Depression – this has only come about because of all that has happened to Skylee
since she was vaccinated with Gardasil;
Psychosomatic disorder – this is what they would prefer to be the official
diagnosis.
Skylee has been on a few treatments and in a lot of cases these have been
stopped because she had an “episode” at school not long after taking pain
medication. She has also been offered Prozac and Amitriptyline for Fibromyalgia
and the latter for chronic pain/depression which we have refused.
Gardasil has changed Skylee’s life
She has missed 56 days of school since her injection and has gone in late a lot.
She was dismissed from classes multiple times for not feeling well or having to
leave school to attend doctors’ appointments.
Skylee often says she feels like she is 80 years old. She is unable to live life
like a normal teenager.
She needs constant supervision due to her “episodes,” so she cannot go places
with friends on her own. Skylee cannot shower alone as being alone. Her
”episodes” make it impossible. I sleep with her in case she has an episode
during her sleep.
Skylee’s biggest complaint through all of this is the inability to read and
write due to the dizziness, head pressure, vision problems and stabbing pains in
her head. She says she would rather deal with daily pain rather than not being
able to read. It is embarrassing for her to have to rely on her teachers or
peers to read and sometimes write for her. She feels she is a burden to the
other students and is holding them back from getting their own work done.
Through all of this she tries to keep her spirits up as much as possible and not
let Gardasil get the better of her.
We are now in the process of getting Skylee a tutor through school so she can
stay at home and still get her 9th grade education. She does not really want to
stay home with a tutor. She would rather be at school with all of her friends.
She is very outgoing and gets a long with everyone but we feel this is the
safest option for her as of now.
Gardasil has affected our family
Because my daughter cannot be left alone due to the serious health issues she is
experiencing, I have had to quit my job. I had been with this company for almost
6 years.
My husband, Wayne, has also had to leave his work early and some days has missed
work altogether.
I don’t sleep in bed with my husband as I now have to sleep with Skylee just in
case she has an ”episode” in her sleep.
Skylee’s illness demands we sometimes pay more attention to her than her 11 year
old brother (Sabastian) and I’m sure that must bother him.
I know it sometimes bothers Sabastian to see Skylee deal with all of the things
she goes through. He too has had to miss school or be dismissed early because
Skylee has taken unwell or had to go for a doctor’s appointment.
The Gardasil vaccine has changed Skylee’s life in so many ways and we do not
know how many more symptoms will show up and change her life even more than it
has already done. Our whole family has been affected by this vaccine and all of
our lives have been turned upside down that terrible day in 2013.
If only the doctors would recognize Skylee has gone from being a healthy young
girl to an invalid when the only major change in her life occurred on the day
she had that single shot of Gardasil. http://sanevax.org/gardasil-day-daughters-life-changed/
Christina Richelle Tarsell – Maryland
November 1986 – June 2008
Born in November 1986, Christina had the world by the tail. Chris was an honors
student throughout high school and college. She had just completed her Junior
Year in Studio Art, at Bard College in New York, and was looking forward to
returning to her summer job at the Center for Curatorial Studies. She was
anxious to begin work on her senior project.
Art was her passion. She loved texture, light and color. Chris not only had
vision, she had talent. She served as art editor of two literary magazines, one
in high school and another in college. Her personal talent was evident by the
many awards she won at juried art shows.
Chris did not stop with one passion, she was also an avid and accomplished
athlete. She played baseball on the boys’ team in middle school, varsity
softball during high school and tennis in college on an award winning team.
As if that were not enough, Chris took her spare time to devote herself to
community service. She was active in church, Girl Scouts, the National Honor
Society and Amnesty International. Any organization she participated in was
proud to count her as one of their team.
All of that ended 18 days after her third injection of Gardasil, when she was
found dead in her bed at college. Chris’s abrupt departure from this world has
left a multitude of people wondering what happened to this sweet, spirited,
generous and caring individual who was a credit to the human race.
Chris’s mother says, “Christina was my only child. I hope no other parent has to
experience what it is like for the police to come to your door and tell you your
child is dead.
Chris was the light of my life. It made me cry when I later learned she wrote on
Facebook that I was her hero. There is no greater love than that between a
parent and a child. The lives of those she touched will never again be the same.
We miss you, Chris.”

December 1993 – December 2008
Written by: Norma Erickson, Vaccines Examiner
From the day Annabelle was born, she was an exceptional child. She had a heart as big as all outdoors. Her family viewed her as a gift. Loving daughter, grand-daughter, friend and confidante to all, it didn’t take long for everyone she touched to feel the same way. Annabelle was indeed a treasure.
Early on, Annabelle showed she was determined to make the world a kinder, gentler place. The first sign was her great love for animals. It was not unusual for her to rescue any stray animal she found. As soon as she was old enough, she helped groom race horses with her grandfather. At only 12 years old, she worked as a volunteer for the SPCA. Benevolence was her nature.
Her kind heart was not reserved for animals. When called upon to be a godmother, this young woman took the job quite seriously. Annabelle had already set out to change the world, one small step at a time.
Annabelle’s life had but one guiding principle, “All that is necessary to achieve, is to believe.” Annabelle believed she would become a veterinary surgeon.
9 December 2008, 15 days after her second shot of Gardasil, that dream ended. Annabelle went to take a bath less than 10 feet from where her family was sitting. 30 minutes later, she was found dead. No cry, no unusual sound, she left the world in silence.
Annabelle lived in Canada, where the parents do not need to be informed when vaccination takes place. Her family had heard the advertisements for Gardasil for two years prior to when she actually received the first shot. They had discussed it and agreed that based on the advertisements, the vaccination would be a good idea.
16 days after Annabelle’s first shot, she suffered from aphasia (the inability to understand spoken or written language), weakness, amnesia, inability to speak and difficulty standing. Not knowing she had received a Gardasil shot, her parents took her to the hospital to find answers.
No one at the hospital asked if she had recently received a vaccination. Even though many of her symptoms were neurological, her brain scan came back normal. All they could say was that it was not normal for such a previously healthy girl to suffer these symptoms. There were no answers.
Almost two years later, Annabelle’s family still has no answer from the coroner as to her cause of death. The coroner could find no reason.
In the name of Annabelle, and all of the girls across Canada, her family fights for a public investigation into the circumstances surrounding Annabelle’s death. They want to see no more reports of fatalities after HPV vaccinations.
For more information, read Annabelle’s mother’s story here.
Freek Hagoort – The Netherlands
8 years old at time of death
Following are excerpts from an article written by Anneke Bleeker.
Family of criminal decides whether he should be punished? Is this possible in
our country, in the time we live in; or, is it a sign of the time in which we
live? A criminal who has a lot to answer for, is not judged by independent
judges, but by his own family!
The verdict is clear: you don’t hand over your own family to a possible prison
term, even when the offense warrants exactly that. Who would believe this
scenario could happen?
Unfortunately, it appears that is just what is happening. Freek was an ordinary
boy, like thousands of others his age. He played with his friends, went to
school, played football and performed all kinds of activities boys his age do.
He was a normal boy, part of a family; he had a father, mother and brother.
Freek Hagoort did not become ‘special’ until after his death.
Freek Hagoort died just before his ninth birthday, only three days after he
received his MMR and DTP vaccines. He died on 9 March 2009. This is reported in
various ways, through newspapers, books, radio and television shows, and
lectures. Only after his death is his name known. He is now a ‘special child.’
Freek is a special boy who died as the result of vaccination, recognized by
everyone except the Government!
It seems government health officials feel the information should not be brought
forth, not under any circumstances! If indeed, should information appear in the
newspapers that Freek’s demise was a result of the national vaccination program,
the wider implications are known. The vaccination program would be staggering
even more than it already is.
You see, Freek died at the same time questions were being raised about the HPV
vaccination ‘feast.’ He died at a particularly poor moment, just because of the
media frenzy over whether vaccines are reliable, or not. Do they have added
value; or are they downright dangerous?
Those issues were in focus at that moment, so, the fact that a boy died because
of vaccinations that have already been given for decades could not come to
light. His death could not have happened at a more inconvenient moment.
When Freek’s parents contacted the general practitioner because the boy had
become so very ill, they admitted that this reaction could be a result of the
vaccinations, which were given the Thursday before. They were told this type of
reaction had been confirmed a couple of times, and one needed not to worry, he
would get well.
Following his death, upon contacting RIVM (National Institute for Public Health
and the Environment), the pathologist received a clear message that this death
had nothing to do with vaccination, so he didn’t have to do an investigation
into it. Out of the question!
The parents were treated like capital offenders, who had abused their own child
and that was it!
So, at first, according the the GP, Freek’s being so ill could be related to the
vaccinations. Death was not considered at the moment. Then, after his death this
relationship was out of the question according to RIVM!
The National Vaccine Program for every new-world citizen is launched even before
they are born, when the pregnant mother is advised to get the pertussis and flu
vaccines. Day one, the HepB vaccine is waiting for the newborn. If parents
object, or question–they are told loud and clear that they are being
irresponsible.
Who is irresponsible? The Government that wants the population filled up with
vaccines, without properly knowing what all it brings about; OR, the parents who
want to know all of the facts before vaccination?
(NOTE: The SaneVax team has been informed that the Dutch Institute for Health (RIVM)
did the original autopsy and concluded the vaccines had nothing to do with
Freek’s death. The parents wanted an independent autopsy conducted, but to this
day, the Dutch authorities refuse to provide the necessary tissue samples. Our
question is this, “If the vaccines were not related to this young boy’s death,
why are the authorities refusing to provide samples for independent appraisal?”

Santana Gabrielle Valdez – New Mexico
October 1988 – August 2007
Written by: Norma Erickson, Vaccines Examiner
Santana was born with a smile on her face, October 28, 1988. Her enthusiasm and
zest for life were apparent from the very beginning. She had a certain gift for
bringing joy to those around her.
As she grew, you could always find her surrounded by a group of children eager
to be entertained by her stories and games. She loved them and they loved her.
Her 2 year old niece was just one of her constant companions. But, children were
not her only fans. Santana attracted people like a magnet. Evrryone wanted to be
a part of the zest for life that permeated every aspect of Santana’s existence.
Santana was one of those rare children who always believed in Angels. She knew
they were here to watch over and protect us. She never questioned the spiritual
side of life; she just knew.
Santana’s was her mother’s best friend They did everything together and shared
each others’ secrets, dreams, hopes, and desires. Santana knew mom always
harbored a secret desire to travel. Mom knew Santana was aftaid of death. No
parent could ask for more.
Santana had a habit of calling her mom several times throughout the day, just to
check in and see wht mom was up to at the time. One day, she didn’t call and mom
became concerned. She went home to find her best friend had died in her sleep.
The date: August 31, 2007 — less than four months after her last injection of
Gardasil.
Santana left behind a family desperately searching for answers. The coroner
could find no cause of death, she was dumfounded. Mom needs to know why her
healthy, vibrant, loving best friend is gone. Her niece wants to know when
Santana will ‘come back from heaven.’ She is only four years old now, and still
thinks the cemetary is heaven. Her brother spends his time trying to fill
Santana’s shoes. Her grandfather’s health has been steadily declining since
Santana’s demise. This is a family searching to find out why they were left with
a huge hole where Santana used to be.
Santana’s mother says, “Her memory will live on forever, through the eyes and
hearts of all who knew her. She touched so many in her short life! We needed
more time with her!
These girls’ lives are being cut short by other people, but nobody will take the
blame. They are allowed to continue doing so!
I loved Santana so much! Half of me died along with her on the morning of August
31st, 2007!
If you are considering an HPV vaccine, please investigate before you vaccinate.”

Jessica Ericzon – New York
March 1990 – February 2008
Written by: Norma Erickson, Vaccines Examiner
Jessie was born ready to tackle the world. It didn’t really matter what activity
people were involved in, you would find her right in the middle of things. From
the very beginning, she excelled at everything she tried to do. She was born
believing life was a challenge she was ready for.
Jessie grew up across the road from her grandfather’s dairy farm. She learned to
milk cows, drive a tractor and put up hay. Hard work was no stranger to her, in
fact, she relished the prospect. She knew it took hard work to get things done,
but that did not bother her in the least.
Jessie loved people. It was her personal mission to come to the aid of anyone
who was being picked on. In her world, everyone deserved a fair chance. She
tried to make sure everyone around her had one.
Jessica loved the outdoors. Whether it be cheerleading, snowboarding with her
brother, working on the farm, or practicing her pitching for softball, she
tackled it with an enthusiasm that could rarely be matched.,
Jessica loved Spaghetti-O’s, pepperoni, lilies, listening to her iPod and making
her friends laugh; not necessarily in that order. Her family and friends always
came first and foremost in her heart and mind. She was a girl with all of her
priorities in the right place.
Her zest for life extended to academics. Jessica was an honor student, a senior
in High School, looking forward to going to college at SUNY. She planned to
major in psychology. She was pursuing her greatest ambition, to become a New
York State Trooper. Jessica had the world by the tail.
All of that promise came to an abrupt end on February 22, 2008, when Jessica’s
parents came home from work to find her dead on the bathroom floor. Their
shocking discovery occurred only 2 days after Jessie’s third and final injection
of the HPV vaccine, Gardasil.
Once again, Gardasil seems to have lived up to their marketing campaign promise.
Gardasil has taken one of the best of the best and made her ‘one less.’
Jessica’s mother, Lisa would like to add, “Losing your daughter at the age of 17
is indescribable. It is something that I will live with for the rest of my life.
Knowing that it could have been prevented is a guilt I will carry also. Jessie
was the All American teenager – happy, healthy, never did drugs or smoked. She
was so full of everything life could offer her and did everything life would
allow. She participated in all the sports and cheer leading in her school. Jess
was an honor student and #8 in her class.
I could go on and on because she was someone who I was ALWAYS proud to call my
daughter. She was the best of the best and was on the road to becoming a success
story in today’s world. Now she is gone and my life is empty without her.
Gardasil killed my daughter Jessie and it is my hope that Gardasil will end
soon, so no other family has to suffer with losing their daughter.”

Jenny Tetlock – California
1994 – 2009
Jenny was a 15 year old girl battling a rapidly degenerative disease that some
MD’s think may be linked to the HPV vaccine she received shortly before symptoms
appeared. (Although there is no scientific proof one way, or the other, Dr.
Diane Harper, lead researcher, who helped design and carry out Phase II and
Phase III safety and effectiveness studies prior to Gardasil’s approval and
acted as a consultant to Merck, believes that the possibility of triggering a
genetic disorder within a family has to be seriously considered.)
The following is an exerpt from Jenny’s Journey, a website maintained by Jenny’s
family and friends to help locate similar cases:
On a sunny afternoon in May 2007, a tearful Jenny told her mother how her
seventh-grade gym class laughed when she tripped on a hurdle that everyone else
cleared easily. A few weeks later came the odd limp. Gradually, weakness spread;
her muscles atrophied; her world shrank.
Jenny’s parents frantically rushed her to an ever wider range of specialists, to
no avail. By spring 2008, Jenny was a quadriplegic who could breathe only with
machine support. She clung to life for almost a year but she never made it to
see another spring.
No one knows exactly when Jenny’s disease began—or what disease she had.
World-class neurologists suspect Lou Gehrig’s disease, or amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis (ALS). This relentless killer spares the mind, while methodically
destroying the body’s motor neurons until the patient’s body slips into total,
irreversible paralysis.
Yet medical opinion is not unanimous. The CDC estimates the odds of ALS among
teenage girls at 1 in 3 million, less than those of being struck by lightning. A
far more common cause of paralysis among teenage girls is autoimmune disease.
Jenny passed away on 15 March 2009, surrounded by her family.

Moshella Roberts – North Carolina
20 years old
Moshella died after Gardasil vaccination, 5 April 2008, her first day on the job
at Trinity Home Health Care. Shelly appeared to have died in her sleep while on
the job that morning.
Shelly was a student at Fayetteville State University in her sophomore year. She
was a funny, quiet and easy-going person. Although she had a ‘laid back
personality,’ she loved to help other people. In her spare time, she enjoyed
doing hair and spending time with family and friends.
In High School, she was a varsity cheerleader, an active volunteer for her
commuity (Special Olympics, make-up artist for a major play, and various civic
functions). She received her CNA while maintaining honor status at college. She
was majoring in psychology at Fayetteville State University.
During her sophomore year, she sought employment through a home health care
agency. She died suddenly her first day on the job, coincidentally, only four
days after receiving Gardasil.

Brooke Petkevicius – Florida
19 years old
Written by: Cynthia
Janak
Brooke was enrolled at the University of California, Berkley where she studied
social work, majoring in Social Welfare. She was involved in many
extra-curricular activities, including co-ed volleyball and ballroom dancing.
She played on an intramural volleyball team and went to kickboxing classes.
Brooke died 14 days after her first injection of Gardasil from a pulmonary
embolism, or blood clot, on 26 March 2007. There was no family history of this
problem.
Brooke’s Story: “Brook did not smoke,” said her school friend, Megan Sedowski.
“She was possibly one of the healthiest people I’ve ever met. She never did
drugs, and rarely drank alcohol. She worked out daily, and took a lot of classes
at the gym. She never complained about anything, really–certainly not her
health. She was an amazing, upbeat, caring, healthy young woman. Her death was a
complete shock!”
Brooke had dressed to go running with a friend because they were training for a
half-marathon. She walked to the elevator, collapsed against the wall and had a
seizure. Brooke was rushed to the hospital and passed away.
Brooke never had any problems with blood clots, nor did her family have any
history of clotting problems.
Subsequent tests of her younger sister and her mother showed nothing genetic.
Brooke had no allergies, no tobacco use, and no past substance abuse problems.
Drug tests came back negative.
Cynthia Janak, author, spoke to all of her family. They told her what a
wonderful, kind-hearted young woman she was. She had dreams and aspirations for
her future. They spoke about how her laughter was contagious and how her smile
lit up a room. This was a girl who had it hard growing up, as many of us, but
became a stronger person for it. As Cynthia likes to say, “She took sour grapes
and made fine wine.”

Amber Kaufmann – Missouri
16 years old
Written by her mother.
Amber was a perfectly healthy 16 year old girl who collapsed on her way into
work, with a seizure. Then her heart stopped. Amber played vollyball, track,
bowled and loved hanging out with her boyfriend, family and friends. She was
upbeat, fun and loved life. She was the last in the nest; she was my best
friend. She looked forward to joining the military like her older brother and
sister.
Amber’s Story: 31 March 2008, Amber went to the doctor for a sore throat and at
the same time she was administered her second shot of Gardasil. She also had a
shot of Rocephin and was put on Erythromycin (Z pack). Being her mom, I asked if
she should have the shot since she was sick, and her nurse practitioner said it
would be no problem. She was also in the middle of her menstrual cycle when she
received the shot.
She stayed home from school a couple of days as she complained of headaches,
being tired and slept a lot. I attributed it to her illness.
She went to school on 3 April 2008. Amber was on her way to work after school
and I was on my way home. She called to let me know that the road to our house
was closed due to water. That was the last time I ever talked to her. About 15
minutes later, I got a call from her work saying she had collapsed on her way
into work.
I live only a few blocks from where she works. When I arrived, they were just
getting ready to start CPR. Amber was taken to the hospital about 15 minutes
away. They did not get a heart beat until they reached the emergency room. She
was transferred to St. Louis Children’s Hospital, where she did not come off
life support. Her brain had swelled and without a breathing tube, or tube
feeding her, she would not be able to live. She was brain dead.
Amber was an organ donor on April 7, 2008. I sat at her head in the surgery room
while they removed her breathing tube, she tried breathing for a while. I’m the
one that had to tell her to go and to just be at peace. I was the one with her
at the end.
No mother should have to do that for her child. It was the hardest thing I have
ever done, or ever will do, in my life! I am so glad Amber saved at least five
other lives. I get up every day because I know she would want me to let others
know not to get this vaccine to prevent this from happening to any other young
women, or moms.
Megan Hild – New Mexico
20 years old
Megan loved children, especially her nieces and nephew. Her family was her life
and she never missed an opportunity to spend time with them. She especially
liked to be at home just hanging out with family and friends.
Megan was a student at CNM working towards her Associates degree in radiology
and general studies. Megan’s beautiful smile will be greatly missed by all who
knew and loved her.
She was a very healthy and happy young lady, and loved going to college.
Here is an excerpt from an email her mother sent:
“On her death certificate, it will read – cause of death unknown. She’s my
daughter and I loved her!!!! I will never see her graduate college. I will never
see her wear a wedding dress and hold her babies in her arms.
We have a sixteen year old son who says, ‘Life does not matter; what you do in
life does not matter.’ This is how this vaccine has changed our family’s life
forever!
Megan was 20, happy and healthy. She was attending college with a promise of
marriage after graduation. She held her life in the palm of her hand. Now, all
this family has is a certificate with an unexplained cause of death on it.
Something that was to protect her health may have taken her life. There needs to
be an investigation right away–before more young women are injured, or worse,
die. Please do not allow another family to have to live the life we have been
made to live.”
Megan’s symptoms included rash, severe stomach pains, severe
headaches/migraines, extreme fatigue and vaginal bleeding.

Jasmin Soriat – Germany
April 1988 – October 2007
Less that one month after her last Gardasil injection, Jasmin’s friend
discovered her body. She had evidently died in her sleep, succumbing to
respiratory paralysis.
Jasmin was fit, happy and fun-loving. She had never experienced any serious
illnesses, had no lung disease, and had never smoked. She also had no previous
problems after any of her normal vaccinations.
Searching for answers, her parents meticulously reconstructed her final hours of
life. According to their investigations, “She was at a concert, a Spanish band.
Before midnight, she was at a fast food restaurant. She then drove with her
flatmate home, via taxi to Dobling. At approximately two o’clock in the morning,
she drank som tea.”
The next morning, her girlfriend came by to check up on her, but Jasmin,
according to her friend, “must have died a few hours earlier in her sleep.”
(This is a rough translation from a German Document.)

Jasmine Renata – New Zealand
18 years old
This information is from Jasmine’s mother and the report filed with the CARM
database (New Zealand’s version of VAERS)
“My 18 year old Daughter had all three shots and not long completed the third,
she complained of weakness in her arm, headaches, dizziness, heart racing ,and
pins and needles in her hands . All within the last 6 months ,we reasoned all
the tell tale signs. She died in her sleep on the 22nd of September 2009. She
had none of these symptoms with any other immunization. We are all still filled
with disbelief as she was so healthy, never smoked and hardly drank, a
workaholic, Jasmine luvu4eva!!”
Jasmine’s medical records show that she had her first HPV vaccine on the 18th of
September 2008 around the 20th of October she developed warts on her hand and
very dry skin on both hands and lips – the Doctor noted that it was not eczema
and prescribed ‘multivitamins to increase immunity, and burnt the warts off with
liquid nitrogen – her temperament changed and she became very agitated over this
time – it was put down to having ugly warts and rough skin – “she hated them”
She had her 2nd HPV vaccination on the 18th of November 2008. Her file states
“ok after last injection – no problems.” By January the warts had returned and
there were some under her nails which were really painful – the dryness on her
hands was still there and she felt dizzy at times with pins and needles in her
hand – she also suffered quick bursts of memory lapses and pains in the abdomen.
On the 28th of January 2009 she had the warts burnt off her fingers with liquid
nitrogen. Her 3rd and final HPV vaccine was given on the 17th March 2009 and
despite the previous issues the doctor wrote ‘No concerns after 2nd dose, no
contraindications.’
During this time, Jasmine was receiving the Depo Provera injection for birth
control – at the time I did not know how this would affect the HPV vaccination,
if at all, excepting that the toxic load from both vaccines would have been a
heavy burden on her system.
This is what happened after her 3rd and final HPV shot – in her mothers words…
“Pretty much immediately straight after the third vaccine, Jasmine’s temperament
became even more agitated and she was a lot snappier. She complained every so
often about a weak arm and tiredness during the day, but we thought that was her
doing more shifts for other people than in the past. She slept in the day,
whenever possible.
However, the arm pain continued and she used to get pins and needles and
tingling in her hands for no reason. Jasmine started sleeping in longer in the
morning, and also going to sleep in the middle of the day before her afternoon
shift. She started dropping things.
She also started to eat more than normal, but wasn’t putting on weight.
Jasmine started waking up at night in sweats, and sweating in bed, even when it
was a cold pillow, it would be sopping.
From June onwards, Jasmine started to complain of feeling clumsy. She started
saying things like, “God, I’m getting clumsy!” and she was knocking things over,
and dropping stuff. She complained that she was dropping things at work as well.
About the same time, we started to notice that Jasmine’s thinking wasn’t right.
For instance, she asked me if I’d like her to grate some carrots. I said, “Yes,
please.” She got out the grater and the carrot, looked at me, and said, “Which
way up does the grater go?” Having grated carrots, cheese and stuff hundreds of
times before, that was a surprise. Even Jasmine would say something like, “Gee
how dumb is that!” This wasn’t a one-off.
In other little things too, where in the past she’d just do it, she didn’t seem
to know how. It was like re-teaching a child.
And then she’d ask me, “What should I do with my money this week?” This was a
girl who certainly knew what to do with her money in the past.
Looking back, it seems she’d just lose the plot occasionally. She stopped being
able to make her own decisions or work out how to do simple things. She was even
asking me whether she should do other people’s shifts at work. I got to the
point where I thought, “This girl is losing her marbles… where is her decision
making gone? Why can’t she do simple things any more?”
In July, Jasmine intermittently complained of chest pain, and a racing heart.
We’d ask her if she was stressed but she said she wasn’t.
At the beginning of August, Jasmine got a cold. Normally, her colds might last
two days and she had never needed anything for them before this one, but this
one just got worse, and worse. She also complained of a sore achy back and
abdominal pain. And the warts returned again.
Jasmine’s cold never got better, and on 21st September, the day before she died,
she was still complaining of a runny nose, which wouldn’t stop. She also had
quite a few headaches during that cold, and leading up to her death. Her skin
changed, with a lot more pimples than normal, which really upset her.
Jasmine also talked about going to have more liquid nitrogen on the warts.
In a photo the day before she died, she doesn’t look right. Her hair was lanky
and she was very tired. But even so, she was constantly hungry and eating a lot
more than normal. Eating more than normal didn’t seem to fit with a constantly
tired sick girl, who had had a cold for more than six weeks.
On the 22 September 2009. Jasmine Renata Died in her sleep overnight.
“The Renata’s received from the coroners office (after pushing them for
answers), a letter from ESR , which listed samples delivered to them, and the
results. Basically, they confirmed what everyone knew – that Jasmine didn’t take
opiates, P, acetaminophen, alcohol etc, and there was nothing “self-inflicted”
in her system which could have caused her death.”

Meet Alexander (from his parents)
In August of 1998 our son, 2 year old Alexander was diagnosed with
medullolastoma, a highly malignant form of brain cancer. Sadly he died from the
cancer in January 1999. We decided to have some testing done on the tumor tissue
following his death. These test showed that SV40 was in Alexander’s brain tumor
and that the virus was active in creating the cancer. TheCDC has admitted that
polio vaccines in the past have been contaminated with SV40 but it has since
been removed. Alexander had received the oral polio vaccine just 8 months before
developing his cancer. The typical gestation time for medulloblastoma is 7
months. The oral polio vaccine was discontinued the following year, sadly too
late to have prevented Alexander’s death.
From
Mikala:
"My daughter, Carliie, was vaccine injured after receiving the Dtap shot at
her 2 month appointment. She started having a Grand Mal seizure within 2
minutes after injection. She was hospitalized and for weeks because we
couldn't get her fever below 102°. Of course her pediatrician tried to play
it off- act like the vaccine wasn't to blame and some other factor(s) had
caused her seizures. She is now medically exempt from vaccines.
When we had our son, we switched pediatricians. He asked us if we'd be
vaccinating him; we told him no, and told him why... The first thing he said
was that he was sorry that vaccines caused my daughter to suffer and that he
would prefer not to administer them anyway.
A few months before our son was born, my husband went and got his boosters.
He'd been successfully vaccinated, with no issues prior to that... this time
was different. After about 10 minutes he went into anaphylactic shock- he
broke out in hives, started vomiting, then gasping for breath and blacked
out due to lack of oxygen. They had to intubate him in order for him to get
more oxygen. He also dealt with a mild case of encephalitis, which
thankfully didn't cause any permanent damage.
We decided to stop vaccinating everyone in our family because of what
happened to my husband and daughter. We were lucky, because neither of them
have any permanent neurological damage as a result, but other families
weren't as lucky as we were. "
Meet R.J. son of Former NFL Player Rodney Peete and Actress Holly Robinson
Peete.
Holly took the twins in for their 2-year-old checkup. They’d had ear infections
and were both coming off a course of antibiotics. Holly asked the doctor if he
would delay their next round of immunizations because she thought loading them
up with that much medicine while they were still a bit weak from the antibiotics
might be too much for their little bodies. She believes the doctor brushed off
her concerns as those of an overly cautious first-time mom. Something about this
disturbed what she calls her “mommy gut,” an instinct that moms have that goes
beyond what professionals say.
She asked him if there was any way he could break up the measles/mumps/rubella
vaccination so that they would not have to get such a potent cocktail all at
once. The doctor said that that couldn’t be done. Besides, the nurse said, the
twins were behind in their immunizations.
Holly got even more concerned when she found out that they might be receiving
more than just the MMR vaccine. She wanted to know what was in the shots and how
many of them there would be. She remembers the nurse looked at her like she was
psycho mommy, and told her to relax while she took R.J. in to be weighed. Holly
was sitting in another examining room holding on to Ryan, when she heard R.J.
screaming, “No! Mommy!” She ran to R.J. and saw that the nurse had given him the
MMR plus the second hepatitis B and the polio vaccines.
The nurse said that it usually was easier with the parents out of the room.
Maybe it was easier for the nurse, but for the next eight years, nothing about
R.J. would be easy for our family. At home that night, R.J. had a terrible fever
and started shaking violently, just short of something like a seizure. Holly
called the pediatrician to ask him what could have caused this. Should we take
R.J. to the hospital?
The doctor was unruffled and told us that it was not a reaction to the shots. He
recommended that we give R.J. some Tylenol to help him with the fever and he
promised that R.J. would be fine. R.J. had a terrible reaction to the Tylenol
and we rushed him to the emergency room late that night. We believe he went into
some kind of toxic overload shock. After that, we didn’t hear the words “Mommy”
or “No” for about four years.
That day of the vaccination marked a major turning point for R.J. Within a week
of the shots, he stopped responding to his name. Shortly after the shots, R.J.
withdrew. He stopped making eye contact and he didn’t laugh much. Often he’d
just lie curled up in a ball staring at his hand or the wooden slats of the
crib, lost in a world of his own. We asked our pediatrician what was happening
with R.J., and he acted as though what we described was no big deal. He reminded
us that boys develop differently than girls. R.J. was later diagnosed with
autism. http://
"My name is Sarah and I have 3 children, 2 were vaccine injured. My oldest
has permanent nerve damage in his face from vaccine induced Bell's Palsy after
he received both flu and varicella vaccines to go on a Boy Scout camping trip
when he was 12.
My middle child is 5 and is recovering from autism. We didn't realize hers was
from vaccines until we dug further and luckily it was before our 3rd child was
born that we discovered the link. Our 3 year old was not vaccinated and so far
is neurotypical.
We keep to ourselves about vaccines most of the time, not hiding, but we've
found that people who haven't experienced reactions firsthand are less likely to
see that vaccine reactions are real and can be devastating.
I found my daughter's 2 month "well child" sheet and this helped me start
putting the pieces together. She was 2 months old. She was 5 weeks premature.
She was sick the day of her shots and she received not one, but 8 vaccines. She
was given Tylenol. When I got home, she had a fever and a rash. Without even
getting her out of the carseat, I drove back up tot he doctor's office and
showed the nurse her rash. She was annoyed and said give her some benadryl and
let her sleep it off. Her brain swelled and sent her down a path we weren't even
prepared for. I wish I had known then what I know now."
From Allyson
Lassen
I am a mother of three beautiful children. My girls are 24 and 21, and my son is
11 years old. This is our vaccine injury story.
When my oldest daughter was born, I wanted nothing more than for her to be happy
and healthy. I took her to every well child check up and always followed her
pediatrician’s advice. My daughter was perfectly healthy until her 2 month well
child appointment. This is when she received her first round of immunizations.
That afternoon, she developed a fever and was not acting like hers usual self.
Instead of putting her in her crib to sleep, I let her sleep on my chest while I
sat up. My daughter stopped breathing twice while she was lying on my chest. We
rushed her to the emergency room where they diagnosed her with pneumonia. The
doctors put her on antibiotics, but then she developed an ear infection, which
required more antibiotics.
Her six months shots produced a similar response, in that she again stopped
breathing, developed pneumonia and an ear infection that followed. The next few
months were filled with ear infections and sickness, leading to pneumonia.
My daughter was not feeling well at her 15 month well child check up, so the
doctor delayed her vaccinations. I brought her in for her 18 month visit and the
doctor talked me into giving her the 15 month and 18 month shots at the same
time…a double dose of Polio, DTP, and HIB, along with her 1st MMR. Her reaction
was almost immediate, the inconsolable crying, the screaming, and the high fever
that lasted for days. She got so sick from her 18 month vaccinations and her
fever was so high for so long, along with the harsh chemicals in the vaccines,
that it damaged the hair follicles in her head and her hair started to fall
out…like a chemo patient. When it finally grew back in, it grew in coarse, like
troll doll hair. Her beautiful blonde curls were gone.
Her doctor assured me that when she stopped breathing after her vaccinations
both at 2 and 6 months and suddenly, over the course of a few hours, developed
pneumonia, that it was NORMAL and it didn't have anything to do with her
vaccinations earlier in the day. TWICE!!! I was dismissed by the doctors and I
was sent home from the ER with a very sick baby, who was perfectly fine just a
few hours earlier. I still continued with her vaccinations after that, not
realizing that my daughter had suffered adverse reactions to immunizations. No
one shared with me that the ingredients in vaccines could be harmful. No one
told me that there was mercury, formaldehyde, aluminum, and other known
neurotoxins that are used as adjuvants in vaccines and that they could cause
harm to my child. No one told me that there are children who have adverse
reactions to vaccinations that sometimes include death. It wasn't until I was
pregnant with my youngest child, that I started doing research on vaccine
ingredients and side effects and realized what had happened to my daughter! I’m
thankful that I followed my instinct and was holding her both times when she
stopped breathing and that she is still alive today. I am thankful that I was
able to celebrate her wedding in September of 2014!
If vaccine injury happened to us, it could happen to anyone! Educate before you
vaccinate!
"Dan got his second dpt shot at 4 mos. Within 3 hours I heard a horrific
scream . When I held him he tightened up in a fetal position and just kept on
screaming. I later found out he was having seizures due to the vaccine. He
talked till he was 2 then all speech stopped, but the seizures kept right on.
He was never toilet trained. We now know he was autistic. 5 yrs ago he had a
procedure that gave him a stroke. He died from congestive heart failure april 29
of this 2014. We sued the government and won but it wasn't enough to keep him
taken care of for 37 yrs. Miss him so very much. He was truly a huge part of my
life. "
Mom: Daughter paralyzed because of flu shot
TAMPA, Fla. – A Bay area mother spends her day caring for a bedridden daughter who can no longer walk and has very little vocabulary. She blames it on the flu vaccine.
"She (used to) love school, she was running, playing signing in the church choir," said Carla Grivna.
In their home in the Town 'N Country area, Grivna says the nightmare started last November when she took her daughter to get her routine flu shot.
Four days after getting the vaccine, Marysue fell ill with a rare viral infection of the brain called Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM).
How did an otherwise healthy 9-year-old suddenly become so paralyzed that her father has to carry her?
Her family says it was because of the flu shot.
"It can be triggered by a virus it high fever or by a vaccination," said Grivna.
Mother blames flu shot for daughter's ailments
The disease, which is similar to multiple sclerosis, may appear following vaccination or bacterial infection.
"It can just appear out of the blue or after maybe a surgical procedure, said Dr. Juan Dumois, director of infectious diseases at All Children's Hospital. "It's otherwise unexplainable."
He says developing the illness, for which there is no way to predict or prevent, from a flu shot happens.
With that said, he does not recommend not taking the flu shot because the disease can be contracted that way as well.
"If I get the flu I'm far more likely to get ADEM than from the flu vaccine," said Dumois, who treats a few similar cases at the hospital every year.
He also said that recovery is possible, but many times not likely if improvements are not see within six months after the onset of the initial symptoms.
While most common in children, adults are also susceptible to contracting the disease.
Dumois insists that the number of cases per year is rare with the incidence rate is about 8 per 1,000,000 people per year.
This campaign is raising money for "Help build My Room After A.D.E.M."

One year ago, Marysue Grivna was a happy and healthy nine-year-old girl.
But just three days after receiving a flu shot, she was suddenly paralyzed and
diagnosed with a rare disease.

Carla Grivna, Marysue's mother, spoke to Tucker Carlson and Clayton Morris on
"Fox and Friends Weekend" this morning.
Grivna said doctors won't confirm or deny a link between her daughter's
paralysis and the flu shot, but Grivna and her husband are 100% sure that the
shot is what caused Marysue's condition.
"There was no underlying condition," Grivna said. "So many tests at the hospital
to try and find something else that could have caused it, and they could not
find anything."

"I'm saying to parents: hear my story, understand what happened to my daughter,
ask questions, be informed and make an informed decision with your doctor's

From Israel and Nikki Portillo:
"Three years ago today, I took my son in for his 4 month old check up. He was
flown to Phoenix children's hospital on the 5th and left us on the 7th. We miss
you, Eli"
Logan, at 2.5 years old got his MMR and within 2 weeks was dead.
Here is the story of 4 month old Vance Vernon Walker.
Two days after little Vance’s 4 month “well baby” visit in September 2007 where
he received all the routine innoculations, he was found by his mother Shelley
not breathing in his crib.
Blood was crusted under his eyes and a dark bloody foam was coming out of his
mouth. There was so much bloody foam coming out of his mouth that his clothes
and teddy bear were soaked with it.
An autopsy pronounced his death as SIDS, but his mother knew better.
She knew it was the vaccines. She had worked for several years at a local
healthfood store and had been exposed to the vaccine controversy by many
customers hoping to convince her of the danger. It had never occurred to her,
however, that vaccines could actually kill her child.
In a true SIDS death, a child inexplicably stops breathing with no sort of
trauma, but in Vance’s case, there was blood coming out of his eyes and mouth.
Clearly, there was some sort of internal bleeding and damage that occurred prior
to baby Vance’s death. This death was much more than just SIDS and such a
backhanded autopsy report seems an insult to anyone with a shred of
intelligence.
Here’s what Vance received 2 days before his death at the pediatrician’s office:
A shot of Pediarix, a 5-in-1 shot for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis
B and 3 strains of polio
A shot of Prevnar, consisting of seven pneumococcal viruses plus diphtheria
toxoid
Rotateq, the new rotavirus vaccine given orally which contains four viruses
associated with infant diarrhea.
In less than 15 minutes, Vance had been injected with or taken orally 19
different pathogens!
Complete and utter insanity.
What’s more striking is that Vance’s family lives in northern Idaho and within
just a few weeks of Vance’s death, 2 other baby boys died of SIDS also within
days of their 4 month vaccinations.
A cluster of SIDS deaths where the deaths occurred right after the babies’ 4
month shots attracted local media attention, which, to its credit, did an
outstanding job covering the story in a unbiased fashion.

Tom Colosimo's story is one of the most well-known stories in the anti-anthrax
vaccine movement, and one comprised of tragedy as well the the determination of
the human spirit. "Colosimo's good days have been few and far between since he
received his fourth anthrax vaccination in September 1999, the same month he
married Tracy. Three months later, he began suffering from fatigue, sores on his
head, tunnel vision and his first blackouts. To date, he's blacked out more than
700 times."

Trent Michael Blackburn 4/29/12 - 12/21/12
Son of Christina Moore and Brent Blackburn. Christina took her happy and healthy
son to his well baby visit at Seymour Medical Center in Seymour, TN when Trent
was almost 8 months old. He passed away in the night, less than 13 hours after
his mother was bullied at the doctors office to give him 5 vaccines, even though
she only felt comfortable with one at a time.
Christina wrote "I argued with the nurse practitioner for 30-45 minutes. They
would not split the shots up! They bullied me, told me I was retarded, told me
he needed all the shots that day, told me they could not split the shots up,
told me it absolutely would not hurt him! He was injected with 4 needles and
given the Rotavirus oral vaccine. He died less than 13 hours later. I'm upset
that I argued with them and they bullied me into something that I did not want
in the first place and the same thing that I told them might happen, did
happen!"
She was not even given an apology when she went to pick up his medical records
and saw the person who did this. A claim was filed with the Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program but since the parents couldn't find an expert witness to
prove Trent died from the vaccines, they settled their case for $20,000 before
it went to trial. They had one of the best lawyers and still almost lost any
chance at receiving any compensation. More than 2 out of 3 claims are denied and
parents have to prove the vaccines harmed their child. That's what his life was
worth to those responsible. Most never see a penny. Trent's younger sister he
never got to meet is vaccine free. Trent is greatly loved and missed. They said
he died of unknown reasons.

This is my story......by Quavia
Ectionn'e Turner
On April 17 I put the deposit on our new place.
She and my son were out growing our tiny 1 bedroom apartment.
She was just 4 months old but already she was scooting, playing, thinking she
could do more than she could. She was trying to keep up with her brother.
So we found a bigger place.
I was supposed to go get my sister the morning of the 18th but I just couldn't
do it.
Somethings didn't sit right with me and I already had so much to do. I was
thinking I may get pulled over on the road or something.
So that night I cooked, we all ate, we're messing around and playing.
We were up.
Like we normally are, we adapted to her sleeping habits, instead of forcing her
to sleep normal times.
At about 3 am she was up playing. I was like you finna go to sleep little boy,
she just giggled like she Normally did.
She was jumping like my mom taught her to.
So I changed and fed her and put her in bed.
My son wanted them to sleep in the living room with us but we were trying to get
them to sleep in their own room and bed. So I told him no to get in bed. He
gotta start sleeping in his own room like a big boy.
I tossed and turned all night.
I called my mom at 5am and told her to tell them I wasn't coming. Around 7 went
in there fed and changed her. She snatched her bottle and smiled. That was the
last time I saw my love alive....
I got up went and looked in at them around 10 they were knocked out, so I
decided I would continue to clean, wash, and pack.
Around 12 my son woke up.
I checked my phone,called my dad, went to the bathroom, and called my mom.
I went in there messing with her. Normally when I pounce on the bed she moves
but she didn't this time. I rubbed her head she didn't embrace my touch. I just
starring at her, something didn't look or feel right to me. I was looking for
the stomach going up and down, nothing.
I remember just screaming, my baby gone. She gone.
I remember Duke screaming.
I remember Jarvis coming in grabbing her trying to do cpr.
I remember me trying, trying to clean her mouth, her nose.
I called 911.
It's like they took forever.
I remember about to go out the door with no pants on.
When they came they laid my baby on the ground I flipped.
I remember my Dad pulling up.
I remember the look on Duke face, Jarvis face when they told us we could not go
with her.
She was alone.
We sat around waiting.
I remember telling Jarvis, baby I gotta go, tell them take whatever she needs
from me, and you give her the blood. I remember him saying please no.
I remember.
I remember them tellingtelling us that my aunt could go be with her so she won't
be alone.
Then telling us that gave us hope.
Only for someone to come tell us, that she didn't make it.
I remember Jarvis punching bricks off the wall, before I fainted.
My daughter received her 4 month shot on Monday and she was gone on Friday
morning

Ian Gromowski was born on 6.25.07 healthy (pic 1). He was given his Hep B (as
required to leave the hospital as a newborn) while having a fever of 102 and a
weird rash occurred with n hours of the Hep B shot (pic 2). Within 48 hours his
body was in anaphylactic shock. His entire life was medically documented. I sued
the 'government' VICP (vaccine injury compensation program) and they settled at
almost the max amount given for a death lawsuit. He never came home from the
hospital and died on August 10, 2007.
Above: Payton in the ICU after vaccine injury
My journey really began on day two of my son’s life. His birth was pretty easy
and when I had finished laboring I had a perfect little boy in my arms. He was
calm and curious right from the start. He had many guests that day and all
marveled at how serious he looked and how he didn’t cry at all. He slept in a
bassinet next to my bed in perfect peace and he breastfed immediately and
without trouble.
Then on day two the nurses came to get him and give him a Hepatitis B shot. At
the time I had no reason to think I should not give consent. I knew nothing
about vaccines except the fact that Doctors tell you need them and schools
require them. Had I known he was being vaccinated against a sexually transmitted
disease I might have questioned it but I am not sure.
The baby they brought back to me was not the same baby they left with. This was
not my calm, serene baby. This baby cried furiously, refused to fall asleep in
the bassinet, or even be put down. I joked several times that we had a baby
mix-up going on here but I tried to dismiss all thoughts that maybe…just maybe
the vaccine did this. One day wasn’t really enough time to know if there had
been a REAL change in his behavior right?
When I brought him home he had to sleep in the crook of my arm to be able to go
to sleep. You could not put him down for even a moment or he would scream.
Family members had to help with the constant holding and since I rarely got a
break…or any decent sleep…I gave up on breastfeeding after only 4 months…a
decision I regretted.
He went in for more shots at 2 months and 4 months old. Each time he would
become sick for an extended period of time but his Doctors assured me that I did
not need to worry. He was sick so often that I decided to delay his six month
vaccinations until he was 10 months old…at which time he got a DTP shot. This
shot changed our lives forever.
He became very ill after the shot with a high fever that lasted for days. The
doctors kept telling me it was normal. When his fever jumped to 104 degrees I
got in the car with him and went to the emergency room. In the triage they
confirmed his fever and sent us out to the waiting room. I sat and held my son
and began to notice something strange. I can’t explain it other than to say that
I felt that he was leaving me. He was gradually loosing eye contact and
alertness and his eyes and arms were ever so slightly twitching. When I started
snapping my fingers in front of him and he didn’t respond I freaked out. I ran
into the triage and told them something was terribly wrong and described what I
was seeing. A young nurse scooped him up and took him into a nearby room and
began examining him. He also tried to get my son’s attention and when it didn’t
work I could see panic on his face. Then my son’s twitches turned into a full
blown, violent seizure. The nurse got on the intercom and called for immediate
assistance. Two other people came and they wheeled him into another room. I
stood just outside trying to see what was going on and I recall that they told
me they were going to give him an anti-seizure medication and then one of them
ran outside and yelled to all the medical staff, “we need to bag him!” He had
gone into respiratory arrest. His room filled with about 10 people and they
ushered me away.
Fearing the worst I called my husband at the nurse’s station but I couldn’t even
get the words out…I could only cry into the phone. A nurse had to give him the
details because I couldn’t. After he got there they explained to both of us that
our son was being air-lifted to a hospital that could handle this type of
situation. We had to follow in our car and over the next week he stayed in the
hospital with the first days being in ICU on a ventilator.
I knew in my heart what had caused this and when I asked the treating
neurologist about it…he would only say that I should trust my instincts. He
wouldn’t give absolute confirmation but he wanted me to know that I was right.
At a later time he would tell me that my son was not a good candidate for any
further vaccinations. I also found out that my son most likely had an immune
disorder at the time he got that last vaccination and really should have never
received it. But medical professionals do not currently check things like that.
Vaccines are one size fits all.
Unfortunately for my son this information was too late. He had many more violent
seizures and he ended up with mild brain damage and since his seizures would not
stop they decided to start medicating him for epilepsy at age 5 after he almost
fell down a flight of stairs during a seizure. I was not happy about medicating
him but I did take comfort in the fact they said it didn’t have to be permanent
and that I could evaluate alternative therapies in the meantime.
In between these two events though I became pregnant again and the issue of
vaccines came up on a discussion board. I was horrified to find that I still
wasn’t committed to denying all vaccines for my new baby….perhaps rationalizing
that my son’s case had been unique. Another mom suggested that I retrain myself
and start researching vaccine injuries. I did and I found that my son’s case was
not unusual. There are thousands upon thousands of children that have been
harmed by vaccines. And alarmingly I found even more confirmation that vaccines
had caused my son’s injury when I found hundreds of stories just like his.
By the time my second child was born I was confident in my choice to decline all
vaccines. Of course that is only half the battle. Sticking to your guns on the
issue can be challenging because I met with many moms and doctors that were down
right militant when I expressed my opinion on the issue. They act as though they
know what is best for your child and they hope to shake some sense into you so
you can be the good, vaccinating parent your child deserves. They dismiss all
protests that vaccines can injure children by talking about how the statistics
show that the number adversely affected is so small it barely matters…..yeah
right…unless you are the parent of one of those insignificant statistics. And of
course they talk about all the good that vaccines do, ignoring the fact that
many other factors besides vaccinations have contributed to a decline in these
diseases. But if you stick you your guns…it gets easier to deal with these
people.
Contrary to what others might say I do not write about these things to convince
other parents that vaccines are bad and that they need to deny them. I just want
other parents to know that there is risk involved. I would “think” that most
parents would want to know about that. I believe in informed consent. Tell all
parents both sides of the issue….the good, the bad, and the ugly, and allow them
to choose for themselves. Right now most parents are only getting one half of
the whole story and they are basing their decision to vaccinate on that
incomplete data. Tell them that there are risks!!!
If they still decide to vaccinate that is fine…at least they know the whole
story and they made a conscious decision. I will not fault them for their
decision at all. I just hope that they can see why I and many other parents
decided that the risk was too great and respect our decision as we respect
theirs. Meanwhile I share my son’s story to help other moms see that there is
another side to this issue that many don’t want you to know about. It is your
right as a parent to know the whole truth.
So how is my son doing today? Much better! We have made a lot of changes in our
lifestyle to eliminate further chemical exposure, we have made many dietary
changes, and we have learned to adjust. I am happy to say that I after the
changes we made I was confident that he could function without the epilepsy
medication. Call it mother’s intuition. I was right. He has been off meds for 6
months and he has had no seizures. His weight loss has reversed itself and he is
at a much healthier weight now and he no longer scratches his arms until they
are a mass of bleeding wounds. It has been a long road but we are seeing a light
at the end of the tunnel. I now realize that we were not one of the unlucky
ones. We were one of the lucky ones.
Saba Button
We had a perfect pregnancy with Saba & an easy natural birth. Saba was a very
healthy little girl who had a loving, cheeky & strong-willed personality. She
started walking independently at 11 and a half months and was able to say
‘Mumma, Dadda & Nanna’ along with meeting all the other developmental milestones
for her age. She was very ‘knowing’ and hardly ever cried. Saba slept well and
enjoyed the company of her older brother Cooper and was beginning to socialise
with her friends. Saba would light up a room with her beautiful smile.
In the year of 2010 the Western Australia Health Department put out a letter to
families promoting the flu- vaccination for children from 6 months – 5 years of
age. We followed this advice and decided that it was in our best interest to
protect our children from the flu virus. So on the 19th April (exactly a week
before Saba’s 1st birthday) at 12.30pm we went as a family to our GP to receive
the flu-vaccination & the type we received was ‘Flu-vax’ by CSL.
That afternoon Saba presented normally, was playing & was very happy. She had
her 1.45pm bottle of milk and went to bed at 2pm (like normal) and slept for 2
hours. That night she ate all of her dinner, drank her bottle of milk & was then
put to bed. It was at around 8 pm that evening that she could be heard on the
monitor making a soft continuous moaning noise. When we checked on Saba she was
very limp, pale & had a temperature of 40.2 degrees. We then called the
ambulance who arrived and she was rushed to Princess Margaret Hospital. We spent
the next 2 hours in the Emergency Department and then were sent to the ward but
Saba was still having seizures and it was not until 4am that Saba was taken to
the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit of Princess Margaret Hospital.
In ICU Saba was intubated (put on life support) to breathe, had a tube put up
her nose into her stomach for milk and medications. She was put on anti-seizure
medications, blood pressure medications and many different antibiotics. Blood
tests were taken and they did a MRI and cat-scan which showed us that Saba had
suffered severe brain damage and multi-organ failure.
The following morning we were taken into a room in ICU and told that they didn’t
expect for Saba to live and that if she somehow did, she may never walk or talk
again. We rallied together in support and held strong belief that Saba could do
this, that she was so strong in spirit that she could make it. The next day her
blood results showed that her organs were responding more positively and then a
few days later Saba began to breathe by herself. She had decided to pull
through!!
Since the original incident, Saba has been admitted into PMH 40 times for mainly
respiratory (breathing) problems, seizure activity that we cannot get under
control or for general virus’ that she just cannot handle without medical
assistance. We also almost lost her in September 2012 with a severe bout of
pancreatitis (from one of her anti-seizure medications) whereby she spent six
nights in ICU.
Saba has been diagnosed now as having cerebral palsy from an Acquired Brain
Injury caused by the flu vaccination (‘Flu-vax’ by CSL). She is a spastic
quadriplegia (GMSCF level 5 – the worst) has epilepsy and respiratory weakness.
• After 11 days in ICU we were moved to the ward to begin rehabilitation with
our little yet ‘very different’ princess Saba. We began the busy timetable of
physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and many other interventions
at PMH.
Saba now has a very intense rehabilitation timetable which includes seeing a
private physiotherapist, occupational therapist, speech pathologist,
chiropractor, naturopath, hydrotherapy sessions, massage therapist, vision
specialist, conductive educator and acupuncturist which we are able to access
through fundraising. Saba will need to access these therapies for the rest of
her life.
Saba also needs 24/7 care & can never be left alone as she is totally dependent
for all care requirements including all of her daily living activities. Our need
for help in the home & specifically the assistance with Saba’s care &
mobilisation will only increase as Saba grows older & bigger.
Virginia Young's daughter:
Weighing in at 4 pounds and 9 ounces at 34 weeks and 5 days gestation at birth
she was tiny, but the epitome of health. The nurses came to me with funny
stories about her and Matthew before I even had the chance to hold them. One
said, "I have never seen anything like it. She is covered with tubes and had
been stuck countless times and cried a little but then I swear she looked up and
smiled. Then twin brother is getting stuck with needles right next her and she
looks over at him like "Hey, Dude, get over it..look at me..you'll be ok". Well
we all know that newborns don't smile...and if it looks like they do it must be
gas. The stories kept coming though...from nurses and even a doctor...although
the doctor was reluctant to admit it was a smile. It was more like "if I didn't
know better I would think she just smiled at me".
It's a very good thing she had her attitude about life from that early age
because at ten days she would be stuck with the Hep B regardless of what her
father and I wanted to do. I didn't like the fact that Matthew was too small for
a circumcision but they could be injected with that stuff. They weren't even old
enough to be considered term, but the doctors swore that nothing could go
wrong...NOTHING.
Within 24 hours she was covered head to toe with the rash you see here..and she
was writhing in pain..screaming...covered in hives...and scratching at herself
until she bled. To this day she deals with the aftermath of that vaccine. The
rash has lessened, but it is there. As she said as a little girl....it is part
of her. It is part of what and who she is. It is her story. But the fact that we
have watched other children suffer with the same illness following vaccines and
some not live to tell about it is not acceptable.
Vaccines repeatedly left her speechless, but it didn't last. Vaccines took her
memory from her. She didn't know her name or age after the Menomune at three
years...but it didn't last. Praise God! That's all I can say.
She has suffered things I really don't care to mention here, but I can say that
I have seen her blow vomit out her nose only to look up at me and say "Well, you
don't see that every day!" and chuckle with her sweet smile. I have seen her
drift off in the most intense pain as if she is succumbing to it saying "God
help me" then losing consciousness only to recover later cracking jokes and
making the funniest faces you could ever imagine. Even more importantly
throughout it all she has cared and thought of others first before herself.
I share this now because somewhere out there is someone suffering much the same
and he/she/they need encouragement. Right now. Hang in there...God bless you!
To learn more about urticaria pigments, or as Marie used to say "Put the piggie
in the toaster" and mastocytosis...go to www.mastokids.org. To
learn more about vaccine dangers...well I could list about 100 sites so I will
keep it to just two...www.nvic.organd www.vaccineinfo.net. My
family can be reached through those sites or you can message me on Facebook.
Gina and Harry Tembenis -
My husband Harry and I brought our son Elias in for his four-month wellness
appointment. It was December 26, the day after Christmas. My husband was holding
him when he got the shots. When the nurse stuck him with the needle my son just
stiffened up like a board and screamed. My husband asked, "What did you give
him?" and they ran down the list, four shots for nine different diseases. My
husband said, halfheartedly joking, "You know what? That would kill an elephant,
let alone an infant." Boy, did he hit the nail on the head because when we
brought him home, the beginning of the worst had begun.
They gave us the precautionary, "He might run a fever…a little swelling," the
usual "blah blah blah" spiel they give.
So the fact that he was fussy when we put him to bed didn't seem so out of the
ordinary. He kept waking up. So I kept going in, and checking on him but he was
fine. My husband had to go to work in the morning and asked me if we could turn
the monitor off. I said, "No, no, no, don't turn it off. Let's just turn it down
low so at least I can still hear him." So, Elias finally fell asleep but then I
heard him make this weird noise so I got up and started walking towards his
room. When I walked in, I saw my boy convulsing in his crib. He was having a
full-blown seizure.
I started screaming to my husband and he jumped out of bed and we put a blanket
around him and ran out of the house. There was an ice storm happening but we
lived really close to a hospital so we didn't even think to call an ambulance.
We just grabbed him and jumped into the car. But when we got into the car, it
was frozen. This whole time he was still seizing in my arms. I started freaking
out and both of us ran to our other car and were desperately trying to get into
it.
We finally got in, and foam was coming out of his mouth. I just kept saying to
him, "stay with me, stay with me, stay with me."

MILWAUKEE (WITI) — Two sisters in their teens just starting to grow up say
they’ve been robbed of their womanhood when faced with a life-changing
diagnosis.
There are few relationships in life as strong as that of sisters. It is a bond
formed at birth strengthened through time. Maddie and Olivia Meylor are
separated by just 13 months — sharing clothes, a love of sports, and in 2007, a
life-changing doctor’s visit.
“We went to the same physician throughout the years,” said Joen Meylor, Maddie
and Olivia’s mom.
At their annual physical, the doctor suggested a new vaccine.
“She said it would prevent cancer. I jumped on board and said ‘absolutely.
Anything to prevent cancer,’” said Joen.
“I just remember the first shot. It hurt really bad,” said Olivia.
The initial pain was nothing compared to what they say happened next.
“As the years went on, Madelyne never got her period,” said Joen.
Time passed, and Maddie’s development took a turn.
“I still hadn’t had my period, which I thought was weird,” said Maddie.
After multiple doctor visits, her diagnosis was in.
“We did some testing and sure enough, I had POF,” said Maddie.
Maddie was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure. She was going through
menopause at just 16 years old.
“I do remember just being confused and like, emotional,” Maddie said.
Maddie relied on Olivia for support. Only to find out months later the sisters
shared the same fate.
“I was also diagnosed in July,” said Olivia.
“We were devastated,” said Joen.
“It’s rare at their age and it’s very rare that two sisters would have premature
ovarian failure,” said Joen.
The sisters went through the same genetic testing, looking for answers. They say
all roads led back to that doctor’s visit in 2007.
“I realized it was the Gardasil vaccine,” said Joen.
The Meylors believe the HPV vaccine is to blame for their rare disorder.
Tuesday’s incident took place at an anganwadi centre in Ujjain district’s
Bandka village.
The death of two kids in the span of 10 days raises questions on the standard of
medicines being used in government programmes. Three-and-a-half month old
Krushna was taken to get a DPT (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis) vaccine shot in
the morning.
The child’s father, Dinesh Panchal, said the boy started frothing at the mouth
within half-an-hour of receiving the injection.
“When we informed the anganwadi assistant there, she said it was common and the
child might cry for the rest of the day,” the father said. When the child’s
health worsened, the parents decided to take him to the district hospital where
he was declared brought dead.
The child died because of the vaccine and the callous attitude of the angandwadi
assistant, the parents alleged.
District immunisation officer KC Parmar said his department will investigate the
matter. “If anybody is found guilty, action will be taken and if any defect in
vaccine is found, we will probe the matter,” Parmar said.
Earlier this month, a Madhya Pradesh-registered drugmaker was blamed for tainted
antibiotics that killed 11 women in a Chhattisgarh sterilisation camp. The
Congress had on Monday alleged that drugs made by blacklisted companies were
being sold in Madhya Pradesh.

Another mother, Brandi Richardson from Augusta, Georgia just came forward.
My Jakob Wright Richardson 7/11/07-9/20/07 died 2.5 days after his first set of
shots. I even called to tell them he was acting funny. Screaming. They said this
was normal. I was told to use Tylenol and DON'T bring him in unless he's non
consolable for 3+ hrs. So I didn't. And he didn't wake up.
My son's "official" cause of death was interstitial pneumonitis (a double lung
infection) in the walls of the lungs. Around the air sacks. But he died 2. 5
days after his vaccinations. And the ME said that he couldn't write it in
because there was no obvious cause of death (COD). HE believed it greatly
contributed to his death.Vaccines were not mentioned on his report at all.
He started acting funny after he got his shots and I even called the army
hospital! Like they said to! And no one would listen that something was wrong!
We were denied a 100% link so could not file a vaccine injury claim. I will not
vaccinate my youngest two for risk of them having a reaction like their older
brother did. Their pediatrician is on board with this decision.

Nicholas Lee Copenhaver (March 7, 2013 - July 15, 2013).
He passed away less than 3 days after receiving the 4 month vaccines.
Neurologist's report clearly states that, in his opinion, vaccines were the
likely cause of death. Ruled SIDS.
His mother, who works in healthcare, shares with us,
On Friday morning July 12, 2013 I took my son in for his 4 month well-baby
checkup. The doctor gave him 7 vaccines - DTaP, IPV, Hib, PCV and Rota. He was
cranky of course after, but doctors tell you to give Tylenol and teach you that
these reactions are normal.
Saturday, he was still fussy and tired and didn't nurse as much as usual.
Saturday night, my sister in law watched him overnight so we could go to work. I
picked him up Sunday afternoon, after I woke up. We didn't do much that evening
but nap. Looking back it seems that he was extra sleepy but I didn't notice it
then.
Sunday night, I dropped him off at a very close friend’s house around 10pm, so
that I could go to work. Not knowing that this was the last time I'd see my son
alive.
She said he never went to bed without a fight with her but that night she said
he fell asleep on his own. He was used to being fed at the breast to fall asleep
when he was with me. She said he woke in the middle of the night so she got up
with him. She fell asleep in the recliner holding him. When she woke up he was
gone.
They started CPR, but of course it was no help.
I vividly remember the scream down the hallway in the middle of the night, at
work, telling me to leave. I was a CNA at a nursing home, working overnights,
when my coworker yelled down the hall that something was wrong with my baby.
That was the absolute worst night of my life.
There were no obvious signs that something was wrong with him. Nothing outside
of the "normal" that doctors lead you to believe is ok after your baby receives
the vaccines. My son received his shots Friday morning and by late Sunday night-
early Monday morning, he was gone.
The coroner did rule his death as SIDS.
I had to do my own homework and I was referred to a vaccine injury lawyer who
listened to my story and took on my case.
The neurologist's report we have gotten for our case clearly states that, in his
opinion, vaccines were the likely cause of death. We were lucky because often
times, vaccines are never mentioned. The neurologist that did our report for the
case actually did the autopsy also. Unfortunately, if I hadn't looked into
things further on my own, I may have never known his cause of death.
Thank goodness Missouri automatically does a full autopsy on children because
when we later went back to file with VAERS, etc., they had exactly everything
they needed. We are still waiting for our case to go through with the National
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP), which we are told could take a very
long time.
The doctor who did the autopsy even stated that he feels vaccine causation
exists in our case wrote this in our neuropathology report. We will have to wait
to find out if our case is awarded but no amount of money could replace our son.
The maximum they give for vaccine related deaths is $250,000. That’s what our
children are worth to them. Most claims are denied and those that do get awarded
are often settled for less.
My son was vaccinated on schedule. He was given Hep B at birth, 8 vaccines at
his 2 month well baby visit (DTaP, IPV, Hib, Heb B, PCV and Rota) and 7 vaccines
at his 4 month well baby visit (DTaP, IPV, Hib, PCV and Rota). These are the
vaccines on the current schedule.
I'd like to tell other parents to heavily do their research, because
unfortunately, I didn't. I had no idea. I thought like most that I was doing
what I was supposed to by taking my child in to get vaccinated. Especially
working in healthcare, they hammer it into us everybody that you HAVE to have
your shots. I didn't question it one bit, and now I regret it.
I have heard from so many other people now after the fact that the same thing
happened to them. I want people to know that this does happen and that it's a
lot more common than they realize.
I can only hope sharing our story will save someone else the heartache and pain
of losing a child. I want to tell the world and save them the heartache that we
have been through.
Rest In Peace Our Precious Angel...

The sudden death of a 12-year-old girl in Waukesha, Wisconsin, just hours after
receiving the HPV Gardasil vaccine has shocked the girl’s family, and sent local
media out asking questions as to how this could happen. Here is a report from
WISN 12 News.
Dr. Geoffrey Swain of the local health department was interviewed to give the
standard CDC reply, which is similar to almost every other vaccine, stating that
severe reactions like this resulting in death are “very rare,” and about “1 out
of a million”.
Assuming that there is some data to back up the claim of only “1 out of a
million,” how many doses of the HPV vaccine are administered every year?
According to the latest statistics (July 2014) published by the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services here (page 7), over 9 million per year. So the
government admits that at least 9 girls per year are killed by the HPV vaccine.
How many parents know this prior to taking a doctor’s advice to administer this
vaccine that is supposedly a protection against cervical cancer caused by the
human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted disease?
Apparently, when the news broke that 12-year-old Meredith Prohaska died after
receiving the HPV vaccine, at least one other parent contacted a local news
station in the area to report she also had a serious adverse reaction to the HPV
vaccine with her 17-year-old daughter, who needed urgent care at a local
hospital. The local news affiliate asked the question: “So what are the odds
another local girl had a similar reaction after getting the shot?”

Fighting the Vaccine Battle with Half a Brain

Excerpts:
Our daughter, Roz, was born a happy, healthy little girl on June 17, 2010. She
developed just like all children her age and hit her milestones on or before the
target age. My husband and I decided to do vaccines one at a time on a delayed
schedule after our first family doctor gave her PediaX vaccine with a
combination of vaccines. At the age of one, we began with her DTap vaccinations
and spread them out over a period of time. Then at her two-year checkup, we
decided to begin her MMR vaccinations.
On June 12, 2012, Roz was given the MMR vaccine. She had the normal fussy
period, as she did with the DTap, but after a week, she began to seem a little
off, not as responsive, and she continued to be fussy. She began to run a
low-grade fever on June 27. On June 28, Roz had been outside for a short period
of time. After her shower, my husband put her in the chair. He walked in after
about five minutes and noticed she wasn’t moving and was in a staring state,
unresponsive. We immediately rushed her to the ER. After 30 minutes, the doctor
confirmed she was having a seizure and had a fever of 101.1. They ran a series
of tests and found nothing in the ways of infection, virus or bacteria. They
transferred her to Children’s Hospital, where we spent the night for
observation. The doctors told us that she had had a febrile seizure. They told
us not to worry because febrile seizures are common in children.
On November 1, Roz woke up acting strangely; then she suddenly began to seize. I
administered Diastat. She woke up an hour later and went into another seizure.
We found ourselves back at Children’s with croup this time. Beginning in
December, she had seizures about every month, and they began to get worse.
Instead of having partial complex seizures, she began to have partial complex
that generalized and Tonic-clonic (TC) seizures. By April 2013, she was having
seizures every week. In the middle of April, Roz had three major TC seizures
within a week’s time. We decided to take her to Cincinnati Children’s to get
some answers. Throughout all the seizures, Roz continued to develop according to
her age except for a speech delay. Over a period of time, her seizures changed
but became more frequent.
Our neurologist suggested that we meet with the epilepsy doctor to see if Roz
would be a candidate for brain surgery. On October 7, 2013, Roz was admitted for
a week of VEEG monitoring and major scans that concluded she was a candidate for
resectioning surgery of her right occipital lobe.
She would have to have half of her brain removed.

NEW YORK (CNN) – A 26-year-old health care worker died just days after getting sick with the flu. Her family says she got a flu shot but it didn’t work. Now, the newly-wed’s family hopes her story may save someone else.
"Her mom said as part of her job she had to get a flu shot. Tragically, it
didn’t keep her from getting sick.
However, Kenosha County’s health officer say the vast majority of people who get
a flu shot are helped by it.”

Adam Michael Westfall (June 2, 2011 – August 7, 2011)
He passed away less than 2 days after receiving the 2 month vaccines. This was
the last picture taken of him. Ruled SIDS.
https://www.facebook.com/
His mother shares with us,
It’s so hard to re-live the worst day and hardest time of my life. Adam was born
in Michigan on June 2, 2011 weighing 8 pounds and 10 ounces. He got his Hep B
shot at birth because I was told it was best for him and on Friday, August 5,
2011, I took him in for his 2 month well baby check-up.
During this visit, the doctor gave him 8 vaccines for (DTaP, IPV, Hib, Heb B,
PCV and Rota). He got 2 shots in one leg and 1 in the other, plus the oral
Rotavirus vaccine, totaling 8 vaccines given to my baby, in one visit. This is
what is listed on the CDC’s vaccine schedule in the US.
I thought the shots were safe, I thought they were to protect my precious baby.
I wanted to space them out, but was told there was no need to. I was told that
it was fine to give them all at once.
After Adam received the vaccines, all he did was sleep, he didn’t eat much, he
had a little fever, his legs were red, swollen and puffy where the shots were
given, and he cried more than usual. The doctor assured me all of these symptoms
were normal.
On Saturday, the day after Adam had his shots, he slept almost all day. He
wasn’t up long each time he woke up and he didn’t finish a whole bottle at once
and he didn’t play much.
I went to sleep Saturday night, exhausted from house chores, only to wake up in
a panic. Adam wasn’t crying. He always ate at 7 AM. I went in to get him and
when I looked at him, he was lifeless and his little face, I’ll never forget.
Adam had passed before I woke up to find him.
I performed CPR while on the phone with the police. When they arrived, the
officer did percussions for me while I did the breathing. When he stopped, I
ended up yelling at him to help me. Then the paramedics arrived and took him
down to the ambulance. I was not allowed to follow. When they returned, my worst
fear was confirmed, my baby was gone.
They also asked if Adam was a donor and if I wanted to donate his organs, I
refused. They kind of checked me out and the police officer stayed until my
family arrived. He was very nice, he asked me a couple questions and did admit
that he knew Adam was gone but helped me because I was trying so hard to revive
him.
The police were told he had his shots because they asked if he was sick or was
given any medication and I informed them that I didn’t give him anything, but he
was just recently vaccinated.
He came back later and asked some "routine" questions and took pictures of our
room which had clean clothes all over because I just moved in with my mom. But
if my day wasn’t the worst already, CPS showed up and began to question me, made
me do a mouth swab and my husband, even though he was working when Adam passed.
CPS then started accusing me basically, asking if I harmed my child, saying
maybe I put too many blankets on him, maybe I rolled over on him, maybe I got
frustrated, maybe my daughter got ahold of him, asking if I did drugs, if I had
been drinking, did I drop him, etc.
The paramedics had already said he had no trauma whatsoever. CPS kept accusing
me of doing something, even on accident, for 3 days this went on. They wanted to
talk to everyone in the house, even though no one was there but my grandma, me
and my kids. They called me and kept showing up at my house until Wednesday,
when the preliminary autopsy report came back, the ruling was SIDS.
The CPS guy came back after getting the results, to tell me my case would be
closed and to tell me it was all protocol. So it’s there procedure to hurt a
grieving mother even more? I never got a sorry for my loss or a sorry for the
accusations. The police said there was no need for CPS to contact me again and
if they did, I was to let them know.
I wanted to die when I found out my baby was gone. I was so upset the way CPS
was treating us. I really wanted to die after the accusations and I started
blaming myself for not being able to protect my baby boy or to save him.
When he passed, I thought it was the vaccines because my baby Adam was never
sick. He was perfectly happy and healthy before he got those vaccines. When I
was told he died of SIDS and that’s its very rare a child would suffer a severe
reaction to the shots, I honestly didn’t know, I was so confused. I was always
taught vaccines were safe.
I expressed my concerns to all of my friends that had also vaccinated their
kids, but my friends had no answers. After losing Adam, some have postponed the
shots and some have denied them. I’ve just really felt so alone and that I
couldn’t talk to anyone. It seemed no one was able to give me any answers.
I had started researching vaccines but it was too hard to deal with. In my mind
I felt it was the vaccines, but I kept being told by doctors that the shots were
safe and I was made to feel like a bad mom if I didn’t continue to vaccinate.
I was still pressured to vaccinate myself after Adam passed away. I actually
cried because they made me feel bad if I didn’t listen to their suggestions and
get the pertussis vaccine and they bullied me until I got it. I did refuse the
flu shot they also tried to convince me to get.
Then I became pregnant with our third child Natalie. The doctor had me get the
pertussis vaccine while I was pregnant with her. I was told she would have some
immunity from me getting it and my doctor pushed me to get the flu vaccine too,
but I refused it this time as well.
I’ve been vaccinated twice with the pertussis vaccine since Adam passed away.
The truth was withheld from me. They don’t just vaccinate for pertussis, what
they really gave me was the Tdap shot for Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis, a 3
in 1 combo vaccine. If you are pregnant, regardless of when you last got this
vaccine, they coerce you into getting it again.
It didn’t matter they already gave this to me once after Adam passed. I’ve since
learned they don’t test any of these vaccines on pregnant women but then make
you feel bad if you say no. I was told the vaccines were safe for me and my baby
but the package inserts even state they aren’t tested on pregnant women. I
didn’t know this at the time.
When I gave birth to my rainbow baby Natalie, which is a baby born after a baby
lost, almost 3 years later after Adam passed, I expressed my concerns about the
vaccines again and was told its unlikely they caused any harm to Adam. I was
reminded that my oldest 6 year old daughter Lilly was fine with them and that
Adam had passed from SIDS, not from the shots. I trusted them again with my
child’s life, over my instincts and let them vaccinate Natalie.
Natalie was given the Hep B shot at birth
- 8 vaccines at her 2 month well baby visit (DTaP, IPV, Hib, Heb B, PCV and
Rota)
- 7 vaccines at her 4 month well baby visit (DTaP, IPV, Hib, PCV and Rota) and
- 8 vaccines at her 6 month well baby visit (DTaP, IPV, Hib, Heb B, PCV and
Rota)
They tried to push the flu vaccine on Natalie at her 6 month well baby visit and
I refused. These are the vaccines on the current CDC schedule in the US.
After Natalie had her 2 and 4 month round of shots, which I agreed to vaccinate
her only because I was told that Adam’s passing had nothing to do with the
vaccines, Natalie’s heart monitor went off constantly for 3 days. I couldn’t
even lay down before it went off again. I had to basically hold her the whole
time. It didn’t go off like this after the 6 month shots.
Natalie was put on a sleep apnea heart monitor for my comfort because I lost
Adam and I wanted to take any measures to ensure this didn’t happen again. I
can’t sleep unless she’s on it. When they mentioned I could get one, I jumped at
it and she’s been on it since day one. Her monitor would go off once or twice a
night, sometimes two nights in a row. I was told this could possibly be due to
her having apnea or it could be because it’s set to sensitive mode.
When I noticed the monitor picked up major changes in her after the shots, this
confirmed my suspicions the vaccines had something to do with Adam’s passing.
Even though I was weary, I thought OK, they are doctors, maybe they are right,
but then after looking into vaccines more, I discovered that it had to be the
shots.
After Natalie reacted to her shots, I started researching vaccines again but
didn’t fully understand the side effects until just a couple months ago, just
after her 6 month appointment. I have already told Natalie’s doctor I will not
be getting any further vaccines. Natalie is currently 8 months old and has
stopped receiving any more shots. She has been doing great. I do worry if the
vaccines harmed her.
Please don’t look down on me for being so naïve about my youngest daughter and
having her vaccinated. I honestly believed the doctors when they said that it’s
very very rare to suffer a severe reaction to vaccines and that my daughter
would be fine because my oldest daughter was fine and that they highly doubt the
shots harmed Adam, etc.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one that feels it’s true, that my intuition about
the shots was right, all along, I just didn’t have the right support or
information to recognize adverse reactions caused by these vaccines. I think
every baby should be sent home with a heart monitor, until a certain age,
especially if you vaccinate.
I don’t want my children getting anymore vaccinations. And I don’t believe
babies should be made to get them so young, nor should they get that many. We
shouldn’t be bullied or forced into getting them. Parents must have a choice
when it comes to vaccinations. There are major risks that come with them.
It’s been 3 years and I still never got the copy of the final autopsy report or
the police report like I had requested. The death certificate I did receive
stated SIDS/possible suffocation. I was told a part of his brain forgot to tell
him to breath. My baby wasn’t even covered up when I found him, his blanket was
at his feet and his little face was facing me. I will be contacting them again
soon.
I didn’t know about reporting these vaccine reactions to VAERS and no doctor
brought it up or reported them. No doctor even acknowledged these vaccine
injuries. I had to do my own research.
I only found out recently that there was a National Vaccine Injury Compensation
Program but it was too late to file a claim for Adam. The statute to file is
only 2 years after a parent loses their baby to vaccines. So I never filed a
claim because I didn’t know about it.
Adam passed away in the early morning hours on August 7, 2011, less than 2 days
after he was given those 2 month vaccines. He was 2 months and 5 days old. I
thought I was protecting him and doing what was right. Instead, I was made a
fool of, for thinking that they knew what was best for him. The day that Adam
passed was the worst day of my life.
The picture of Adam in the red shirt is the last picture taken of him. This
picture was taken 5 days before I woke up to find him lifeless with his shot
marks still on his legs.
I just want my baby. And I was so stupid to think the CPR was working because I
heard what I thought was breathing, but it was just the air coming back out. I
live with guilt every day and can’t leave my daughters side. I have separation
anxiety and I can’t sleep if she’s not near her monitor, so I can feel assured
she is safe. It’s just not fair.
My only baby boy, my only angel up in the sky with my brother, both gone to
soon. My brother, also named Adam, passed from cystic fibrosis when he was 7
years old. He would be 22 years old next month. I feel like I have no one left.
I feel so stupid for allowing any of my children to be vaccinated. I feel like a
bad mom for listening to the doctors and thinking maybe I was just crazy, that
maybe I was just being paranoid because of losing Adam, which I am, but now I
have tons of info proving I’m not thinking irrationally about this, the doctors
are. I just feel that they bully you into getting the vaccines and ignore the
reactions they cause. I used to think I’d get in trouble if my kids were not
vaccinated. I didn’t know I had a choice.
I feel like no one remembers or ever wants to talk about my son, for fear of
hurting me. I wonder who he would be today. And I wish my son Adam, my brother
Adam and all the other children and babies were still here. I am so sorry and
always heartbroken for anyone that loses a child.
My cousin also lost her baby boy to SIDS two years before Adam died. We were not
real close because we live far apart. I didn’t learn she lost her baby until the
day my baby passed away.
Adam was and always will be my baby boy, my little lizard, my hunny bear, bubby
and my precious little man. Adam was always so happy, and so full of life, not a
care in the world. He hardly ever cried or was fussy. He would watch hours of
Heartland with his sister and I and always stuck his tongue out like a lizard
with a smile so big.
Adam was the light of our lives and as his sister always said " the best little
brother ever" now he’s our precious angel baby. Even though it’s hard to tell
our story, if I can help save even one baby from here, then it’s worth it.
Natalie is my 8 month old rainbow, Lilly is my almost 6 year old sunshine, and
Adam is my (would be 3 year old) angel. All 3 are my pride and joys, they are my
life. It’s so hard to go through all of this and to not have him to hold and
watch grow.
Rest in paradise, we love and miss you Adam

Mother Shares
Her Story
His mother Amanda Copenhaver, who works in healthcare, shares with us,
On Friday morning July 12, 2013 I took my son in for his 4 month well-baby
checkup. The doctor gave him 7 vaccines – DTaP, IPV, Hib, PCV and Rota. He
was cranky of course after, but doctors tell you to give Tylenol and teach
you that these reactions are normal.
Saturday, he was still fussy and tired and didn’t nurse as much as usual.
Saturday night, my sister in law watched him overnight so we could go to
work. I picked him up Sunday afternoon, after I woke up. We didn’t do much
that evening but nap. Looking back it seems that he was extra sleepy but I
didn’t notice it then.
Sunday night, I dropped him off at a very close friend’s house around 10pm,
so that I could go to work. Not knowing that this was the last time I’d see
my son alive.
I sent pumped milk with him once I started going back to work, since he was
12 weeks old. He was used to being fed at the breast to fall asleep when he
was with me. My friend said he never went to bed without a fight with her,
but that night she said, he fell asleep on his own.
She said he woke in the middle of the night so she got up with him. She fell
asleep in the recliner holding him. When she woke up, he was gone.
They started CPR, but of course it was no help.
I vividly remember the scream down the hallway in the middle of the night,
at work, telling me to leave. I was a CNA at a nursing home, working
overnights, when my coworker yelled down the hall that something was wrong
with my baby. That was the absolute worst night of my life.
There were no obvious signs that something was wrong with him. Nothing
outside of the “normal” that doctors lead you to believe is ok after your
baby receives the vaccines. My son received his shots Friday morning and by
late Sunday night- early Monday morning, he was gone.
His death was ruled as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
The vaccines were not mentioned in Nicholas’s autopsy report because at the
time the autopsy was being done, the pathologist was not yet made aware that
Nicholas recently received his shots. It all happened so fast and of course,
at that moment in my life, things hadn’t clicked yet that it was the
vaccines. I was meant to believe they were so safe and this wouldn’t happen.
Nicholas didn’t have his airways blocked and did not suffocate when he
passed away. I had to do my own homework and I was referred to a vaccine
injury lawyer who listened to my story and took on my case. I had to request
a report in order to file a vaccine injury claim.
The neurologist that did our report for the case actually did the autopsy
also. Unfortunately, if I hadn’t looked into things further on my own, I may
have never known what took my sons life.
The doctor who did the autopsy even stated that he feels vaccine causation
exists in our case and wrote this in our neuropathology report. The report
we have gotten for our case clearly states that, in his opinion, vaccines
were the likely cause of death. We were lucky because often times, vaccines
are never mentioned and parents are not given truthful answers.
It seems most babies that die soon after vaccination are ruled as SIDS cases
or some other vague cause of death. It doesn’t make sense when all of these
children are passing away after getting vaccines why the vaccines are never
listed as the cause of death. Surely this needs to be considered more.
Most parents that have suffered the same fate mention that vaccines aren’t
even listed on their child’s autopsy report, even when the person doing the
autopsy is informed the kid was recently vaccinated. Why?
Thank goodness Missouri automatically does a full autopsy on children
because when we later went back to file a vaccine adverse event report with
VAERS, etc., they had exactly everything they needed. We are still waiting
for our case to go through with the National Vaccine Injury Compensation
Program (NVICP), which we are told could take a very long time.
We will have to wait to find out if our case is awarded but no amount of
money could replace our son. The maximum they give for vaccine related
deaths is $250,000. That’s what our children are worth to them. Most claims
are denied and those that do get awarded are often settled for less. We’ve
already been informed things are still slow moving on the case and of course
the government isn’t budging.
We were told we can either attempt to settle beforehand or fight this case
in court, which might happen in the latter part of summer 2015. We would
also have to make arrangements to fly to Washington D.C. because the U.S.
Court of Federal Claims is there, across from the White House, to attend the
court case which is different than regular court cases. Outsiders cannot
attend and there is no jury. An appointed special master decides whether our
case will be awarded or denied.
My son was vaccinated on schedule. He was given Hep B at birth, 8 vaccines
at his 2 month well baby visit (DTaP, IPV, Hib, Heb B, PCV and Rota) and 7
vaccines at his 4 month well baby visit (DTaP, IPV, Hib, PCV and Rota). I
don’t think many parents are aware these are the vaccines on the current US
schedule.
I’d like to tell other parents to heavily do their research, because
unfortunately, I didn’t. I had no idea. I thought like most that I was doing
what I was supposed to by taking my child in to get vaccinated. Especially
working in healthcare, they hammer it into us everybody that you have to
have your shots. I didn’t question it one bit, and now I regret it.
I have heard from so many other people now after the fact that the same
thing happened to them. I want people to know that this does happen and that
it’s a lot more common than they realize.
It’s not about just one “accident”, this is becoming more common and it’s
not right. Losing a child is something that absolutely nobody should have to
go through and these vaccines are putting too many families through this.
I can only hope sharing our story will save someone else the heartache and
pain of losing a child. I want to tell the world and save them the heartache
that we have been through.
Rest In Peace Our Precious Angel…

Kristen Philip
A few years ago I took myself out of the vaccination debate. I learned a long
time ago not to bite when baited by the "pro vaccine" camp which included
doctors, nurses, friends, family and even strangers. However, this recent
hysteria surrounding the measles and the downright nasty, vile, abusive and
outrageous comments that followed after and are continuing to pour in on my news
feed have me more than a little upset. Because my dear sister Katie has a dog in
this fight too, here is her story. Take it for what it is.
My sister Katie was born in the spring of 1982. Long before people like Jenny
Mccarthy or Andrew Wakefield were ever on anyones radar. A healthy normally
developing baby up until she was 11 months old. She developed a fever and as a
result suffered a febrile seizure. She was taken to emergency and seen by a
physician who assured both of my parents that this sort of thing is common in
some children and to merely be more vigilant anytime she spiked a fever in the
future. She was then sent home. What my parents did not know at the time was
that this ER physician had taken it upon himself to write a letter of caution to
their family doctor that stated that he felt it was in my sisters " best
interest not to continue receiving her vaccinations because of what he felt was
her increased risk of an adverse reaction".
Life went on as normal for my family until at 18 months old my sister went for
her routine vaccination (DTaP). The doctor never disclosed the letter she
recieved and went ahead with her shots. Within days my sister was hospitalized
with encephalitis (yes, she is your one in a million). Doctors said the swelling
in her brain was so severe that the lining between the brain and the skull had
literally fused to her skull. Since then my sister Katie has suffered from daily
seizures and has progressively gotten worse as the years go by. Multiple
pneumonias yearly due to the loss of being able to swallow without aspirating.
Brain surgeries, a bought with life threatening sepsis that left her on life
support in 2012 are among the many things she has had to endure.
My sister is resigned to a hospital bed and now requires a feeding tube and 24
hr care. The letter was eventually found many years later in my sisters records
and was the key piece that sparked a human rights lawsuit and my sister was
added as part of an already ongoing class action suit.
A judge determined much like the sentiments we hear from the "pro vaxxers" that
what happened to my sister and the rest of the families involved was considered
an acceptable loss for the greater good. My sister "took one for the team" and
then the team turned its back on her though she never volunteered as tribute.
Considering all that my sister has survived im sure she would have licked
measles too.
So to the Jennifer Hibben-Whites of the world and as she so eloquently wrote on
her facebook before she set it to private after her post went viral. Fuck you.
Fuck you right back. I no longer have the time or patience and simply do not
give a fuck to waste time explaining or defending my rights or my choice to not
vaccinate my child to people like you. I am too busy spending my time taking
care of my sister and trying to give her the best quality of life I can for
everything that was robbed from her. She gave her life so that your child
wouldn't be threatened by whooping cough or god forbid the measles. So next time
show a little respect. There, I feel better now.
I know this post will cause me to lose more than a few "friends". I am no longer
scared and I don't care. To those that leave please remember god forbid if your
childs or your grandchilds number ever gets called please look me up. I will be
the first to lend my support and love.
From Christine:
I am an “anti-vaxer”
I wish my child lived long enough to get measles but sadly she died a few hours
after receiving a vaccine. At a routine ‘well baby’ appointment, she had her
first shots. I had no idea adverse reactions were even possible. I trusted my
doctor, completely. I trusted my doctor blindly.
The doctors believed it was the pertussis vaccine that caused her death, but
they did not know for sure because there was a combination of 4 vaccines, given
at the same time. How could we possibly know which one caused her death?
I lost the most precious gift of all, to “The greater good.”
I sacrificed my beautiful child, …for your child.
What did I get in return? I was labelled an “anti vaxer”
You see, I have a very healthy 11 year old son that is completely unvaccinated.
He is alive!
Did I attend Google University? Or Get my advice from Jenny McCarthy? Absolutely
NOT! I spent years pouring through the peer reviewed medical journals, FDA, CDC,
WHO and Health Canada files and speaking to doctors and politicians. I had to
PAY to access my daughter’s vaccine records through freedom of Information, at
health Canada. I did all this to figure out the FACTS, so that my other children
did not also die! I did this so that your children do not die, from vaccines!
In Canada we do not have a vaccine injury compensation program, so legal
recourse is not an option.
The vaccine compensation program has paid 3 billion dollars for injuries and
deaths in the US, while Canada has paid NOTHING! They simply deny that vaccine
injuries exist. A company that publicly reports yearly profits, in the billions,
is not held accountable, for vaccine injuries and deaths. The manufacturers of
vaccines conduct their own, very limited, safety studies and many vaccines are
licensed and used without any safety studies. Health Canada told me it is more
cost effective, to release vaccines, and then watch for reactions later.
There are serious problems with many of the vaccines; starting with the fact,
their own studies show the vaccines are often ineffective. After the previous
pertussis vaccine caused thousands of deaths and brain injuries, many mothers
worked together to demand change. The pertussis vaccine was then replaced with a
different one, which was less reactive but also turned out to be less effective.
As a result, we began to see many whooping cough outbreaks in North America. At
first they blamed the outbreaks on “Anti Vaxers” but then it became undeniable,
the vaccine was failing, the vaccine was responsible!
There has not been a measles death in over a decade in North America. There have
been deaths from vaccines however. We have measles outbreaks in North America
every year. Many years ago they increased the MMR shot recommendation from once
to twice, for children and we have a vaccination rate of over 90% yet they still
have outbreaks of measles! At first they blamed the ‘anti vaxers” but according
to their own studies, the measles vaccine is failing, the measles vaccine is
responsible!
In a 3 year study, in Ontario Canada, (March 2006 – April 2009), it was
discovered that several infants died and that 1 in 168 Canadian children end up
in the ER after receiving the MMR vaccine.
Parents need to stop pointing fingers at other parents and work together, for
the greater good.
For the good .of our children,
Parents everywhere, need to ask questions! And demand safer and more effective
vaccines for our children. Pharmaceutical companies should be given a clear
message, that we want them to put more money and research into the existing,
basic vaccines, which are presently failing to protect our children, instead of
rushing to develop and license dozens of new, untested vaccines, for non-life
threatening illness.
Parents everywhere, need to demand that the manufacturer of vaccines be held
liable and accountable, to ensure the quality, of the products they manufacture
and sell to our children. Canada needs to create a vaccine injury compensation
program for the thousands of children killed and injured by vaccines.
Pharmaceutical companies should be monitored by an unbiased committee, or
council of watchdogs, to ensure they are putting health and safety of our
children before profits.
Our children deserve to be protected! Our children deserve better!
Measles has not killed a child in over a decade, in North America but vaccines
HAVE killed and injured thousands. That is a painful fact, I live with.
I am NOT “Anti-vaccine” I am pro health and safety of my children and your
children.
Do your research and demand better vaccines.

"...When I arrived, I couldn't believe my eyes. He had several bruises all
over his body. I took him straight to the walk in clinic. They got us right back
and as soon as the doctor walked in he noticed all the bruising. He immediately
ordered a CBC (complete blood count) that revealed Noah had ITP and severely low
platelets. I was instructed to go straight to the ER where they would be waiting
for us. Noah's platelet count was at 5,000. A normal platelet count is
150,000-250,000. They were very confused at such low of a count and kept
mentioning that that couldn't be right that they'd never seen a platelet count
so low.
Noah was admitted for treatment. His doctor explained that ITP is very treatable
and usually acute which means it resolves itself quickly with treatment. Noah
started his first 12 hour treatment at midnight that night. After the 12 hour
treatment his platelet count rose to only 16,000. After another treatment it
didn't rise much more at all. His doctor was very concerned to why he wasn't
responding to the treatments so we were then transferred to Blair E. Batson
Children's Hospital in Jackson so that Noah could be treated by Pediatric
Doctors who Specialized in Hematology and blood disorders."
Noah during his first hospital stay.
Over the next month, We were in and out of the hospital for days at a time. No
treatment that they gave noah would help his platelet count hold at a normal and
safe level. Because Noah was a toddler, they were worried about him hitting his
head. He was fitted for a Pediatric helmet that he was to wear when his platelet
counts dropped below 30,000. His risk for internal bleeding grew higher the
lower that his platelets got.

"...But since 2008 at least 60 girls and women in Canada have convulsed or
developed disabling joint and muscle pain and other debilitating conditions
after receiving Gardasil.
RANDY RISLING/TORONTO STAR
Linda Morin's 14-year-old daughter Annabelle died two weeks after receiving the
second injection of the vaccine Gardasil.
One needed a wheelchair, another a feeding tube. A 14-year-old Quebec girl,
Annabelle Morin, died two weeks after receiving the second injection of the
vaccine.
It was 7:30 p.m. on the night of Dec. 9, 2008, when her mother, Linda, found her
in the tub, her head underwater and turned to the side.
The paramedics lifted Annabelle’s body on to a stretcher. “I put a blanket on
her, saying, ‘She’s going to freeze,’ ” Linda recalled. “I did not know she was
already dead.”
The Quebec coroner’s office said the cause of death was drowning, yet also said
that any role Gardasil might have played should be further investigated.
In the cases discussed in this article, it is the opinion of a patient or doctor
that a particular drug has caused a side-effect. There is no conclusive evidence
showing the vaccine caused a death or illness.
Like Kenzie and Armstrong, many of the girls say the vaccine was pushed on them
by school officials, nurses or doctors who understated the risks, sometimes
claiming zero significant side effects despite the existence of a list of rare
but serious vaccine-related reactions published by the drug’s maker...."

"...Right after Christmas Ben started feeling punk. The in-laws were in town,
the house was still full of wrapping paper and toys that go beep, whirrrrr and
zoink. But Ben had a fever, and the fever kept getting worse. Since it was the
holidays the pediatrician’s office was closed and the calls were forwarded to
the UNC hospital phone bank 30 miles away in Chapel Hill. The dial-a-nurse kept
reassuring us every time we called that Ben would be alright, that children can
endure high fevers and as long as he was drinking liquids and comfortable a 104
fever is nothing to be concerned about. She also said not to worry unless his
fever gets over 105. When it got to be 105, we called again and again we were
told not to worry, kids can take it.
On the evening of the second I was with my in-laws in the living room watching a
game on the television, Ben’s mom traded places with me earlier to lay with Ben
keeping an eye on him. It wasn’t long before I heard my name being called, I ran
into the room as Ben was being lowered into a tub of water, “His fever is 107,
we have to get him the hospital.” So we dunked Ben in the tub, dosed him once
again with Motrin, dressed him in a tshirt and ran out of the house to the
hospital. I dialed 911 on the way alerting them to the situation and called the
doctor.
There were no rooms available in the emergency room, a nurse fumbled with the
clip on his finger as Ben lay screaming on the gurney in the hallway. This was
not turning out as I had hoped but Ben’s fever had dropped to 106 and was
continuing to fall quickly for the next 20 minutes. No call back from the
doctor, no doctor coming into the ER so I get back on the phone and start
yelling. I believe I said something like, “If my son’s doctor does not call back
in 10 minutes and something happens to my son, tell him I will find him and hurt
him...”

On July 1st, 2008 Danny received his 12 month shots. MMR, HIb, Varicella, and
DTaP. That night he was cranky and slept more than usual. The next day very
fatigued, irritable, and loss of appetite and these symptoms only worsened. 72
hours after the shot he developed a fever. 30 minutes later he was dead.

From my
friend:
"The one to the top right my son now 7.5 was completely vaccinated and
suffers extremely with a neurological disorder now- Tourette's. The one to
the top left my daughter now 6- at the age of two months was hospitalized 10
hours after her shots. She was in there for almost a month. Fever of 104.9
for three weeks. She was on Oxygen and life support. We are very lucky she
died die and didn't suffer any brain damage from the high temps and multiple
seizures she took daily for two weeks. She was not vaccinated past that one
round. The bottom two are vaccine free she is (2) bottom left, he is (4)
bottom right and we are so proud of our decision! All attend regular school
and regular daycare, with an exemption form of course smile emoticon!Sadly
we watch our oldest suffer daily! Tourette's you suffer from multi symptoms
including- sensory processing disorder, motor and vocal tics, OCD, ADHD like
at times and anxiety. We have started to detox us all! No meds! All natural
to calm tics and symptoms and it works wonderful! We even shocked the
doctors! Teachers! Principles! Always fight for what you feel is right!"
From Andy:
This is my sister and our nieces and nephew. She was disabled from her dtp in
1992. Epilepsy, scoliosis, no motor fuction, g/j tube never talked or walked.
Passed at 18 from aspiration pneumonia because she lost the ability to swallow.
She also was never able to sleep for longer than an hr or 2 at a time be cause
she was in constant pain
Another sad
story:
"On August 11. 2013 we sat in the PICU watching our baby girl struggle to
breathe; it was exactly one week before her first birthday and this was her
third admission to the PICU and her seventh trip to the ER for respiratory
distress in her short one year of life. As we watched her sleep hooked up to
all the monitors and machines, listening to the nurses and Doctors talking
about having to intubate her we both had nothing left in us.... Something
had to give here, she was going to die if this continued.
It wasn't until a few week later when things calmed down that I was going
through Ella's medical records and I was listing all of her hospitalizations
next to all the dates of her vaccines. Ella was brought to the ER for
breathing problems every single time within 3-7 days after the receipt of
one of her routine vaccinations.
I was always told that Ella was high risk and that she needed to be
vaccinated more than any other "Normal" child.....
Nobody ever told me that because of her high dose corticosteroids she had to
take for her asthma she never should have been vaccinated in the first place
because her body could never mount a proper immune response anyways....
Nobody ever told me that children that fall under the allergic umbrella
(asthma, eczema and food allergies) have an imbalance in their TH1/TH2
responses causing them to be in a constant state of an overactive TH2 and
that vaccine adjuvants (aluminum) are specifically designed to elicit a
strong TH2 response leaving her in a constant state of inflammation, her
little body constantly attacking itself...."

EXCELSIOR
SPRINGS, MO (KCTV) -
An Excelsior Springs man has been awarded $7.4 million because his wife was
left disabled by at least one of the vaccines she took before a trip.
On June 22, 2011, Carolyn Schutte went to the Clay County Public Health
Center in Liberty for a round of shots. She was preparing for a trip to
Africa and received vaccinations for various diseases, including tetanus,
Hepatitis A and B, and typhoid. Two days later, she was debilitated with
permanent brain damage caused by encephalopathy.
"The active lifestyle that we had before is over," said Jim Schutte, Carolyn
Schutte's husband and now her guardian. "It's gone. We just have to make due
with what's left."
The couple were once avid travelers.
Now, Jim Schutte is homebound, assisting with his wife's around-the-clock
care.
"I provide most of her care," said Schutte, "But I can't do it 24 hours a
day, so I have to have somebody coming in here and helping. It gets very
expensive very quickly. It costs a lot more than you might think."
His wife, who was once the mayor of Excelsior Springs, needs a hydration
tube and specially prepared food. She can't walk. She is paralyzed on one
side. The only words she can manage are 'yes' and 'no.' But she seems to he
able to comprehend everything around her.
"When I talk to her about private jokes that we had shared, she always
laughs," said Schutte. "She calls for me in the evening. She wants me to
come up and hold hands with her, and so we do that from about 7:30 until
she's ready for bed."
Despite all the difficulties, Jim Schutte remains a passionate advocate for
vaccinations.
"What happened to Carolyn is a rarity," said Schutte. "It's a freak of
nature. It happens occasionally. But the chances of it happening to you are
minimal compared to the risks of actually contracting the diseases you are
being vaccinated against."
He's not just talking Internet research. He has a Ph.D. in human growth
development and had done post-doctoral work in biomedical research.
One of his fears is that his wife's rare reaction to a vaccine will further
fuel the anti-vaccination movement that he is so strongly against.
"I think people are taking anecdotal situations like Carolyn's and making it
into something it is not," said Schutte.
He is frustrated with the resurgence of measles cases, which he blames on
people refusing the vaccinate their children, which spreads the virus to
immunocompromised children who cannot safely get the vaccine.
"I have friends who are still to this day crippled by injuries they received
from getting polio back in the early 1950s," said Schutte. "So you can't say
that the polio vaccine is a bad idea because it's not."
The settlement with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services was
reached on Monday. The money comes from the National Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program, which was set up for cases where someone is injured by
a vaccine. The money covers the loss of her income and helps pay for her
costly care. Schutte says payments will be split up annually over 20 years
to pay for his wife's home-based care.
There is no judgement of fault, and the Schuttes' lawyer, Leland Dempsey,
said no one did anything wrong. He explained that vaccines work on the
immune system, and a relatively small number of people's immune systems
respond poorly.
"You can't predict who will suffer that auto-immune response," said Dempsey.
Because Carolyn Schutte received multiple vaccinations at once, no one knows
which vaccine caused her negative reaction.
Jim Schutte does wonder whether part of her reaction came as a result of
having multiple vaccines at once. He says the Centers for Disease Control
have not addressed the topic, but he reasons that since vaccines trigger an
immune response, having multiple vaccines administered at one time could put
a greater strain on the immune system. It's with that reasoning that his
grandson is getting his childhood vaccinations in spaced out doses, just in
case his logic holds up.
He said his wife still has much of her personality, but has difficulty
expressing it. He focuses now on her care and future.
"It hurts, but you have to deal with the reality. And that's the reality we
have," he said.
The Clay County Public Health Center issued the following statement:
The Clay County Public Health Center expresses its sincere empathy to
Carolyn Schutte and her family. No words can truly ease the burden placed on
the family over this tragic occurrence. We know that like any medical
procedure, vaccination can have some risks. Although these events are very
rare, individuals react differently to vaccines and there is no way to
predict how an individual's immune system will react to a particular
vaccine. We agree with and appreciate Jim Schutte's continued support of
vaccines to prevent and eliminate diseases throughout the population.

Theresa Black, right, with her daughter, Angelica, at their home in Panama
City Beach, Fla. Angelica, who is 14 now, was 3 months old when she was
diagnosed with a brain injury.
As they started their family, Mooresville residents Theresa and Lucas Black
dutifully got their children immunized, never doubting their doctor’s word that
vaccines are safe and necessary.
But their faith in those promises was shaken in 2001, when their 3-month-old
daughter, Angelica, developed life-threatening seizures and brain damage just
three days after getting several vaccinations.
The child’s Charlotte neurologist diagnosed her with vaccine-related
encephalopathy, or brain injury. And in 2006, the little-known federal “vaccine
court” agreed, awarding Angelica nearly $2 million plus about $250,000 a year
for medical expenses for the rest of her life.
Despite the ruling that vaccines caused her daughter’s brain damage, Theresa
Black said she has felt bullied in recent weeks by reaction to the California
measles outbreak that has spread to 16 other states.

The vaccination question
What experts say about vaccination
THE FACTS ABOUT VACCINATION
Health officials have stressed repeatedly that vaccines are safe, and some
people have suggested that parents who choose not to get their children
vaccinated are selfish and willfully endangering the lives of others.
“There’s people out there calling for us to get jailed,” Black said. “I am not a
freak. I am not trying to endanger anyone’s child. … I actually think
vaccinating is a good thing. My problem is I don’t think they are as safe as
they could be. … There are bad things that happen.”
Today, Angelica is 14 and profoundly disabled. She has cerebral palsy and a
seizure disorder. She is unable to speak. She uses a feeding tube and a
wheelchair. Because she requires around-the-clock attention, her parents quit
their jobs to care for her. The family moved to Florida in 2009.
Renee Gentry, the Virginia lawyer who represented the Blacks before the vaccine
court, said she too has been bothered by some reaction to the measles outbreak.
“People are saying there’s absolutely no evidence that vaccines cause brain
injury, and we’re sitting here with all these cases. It’s rare … but they
clearly have happened.”

Malcolm Brabant's face – round, ruddy, full-featured, and crowned by a bald
dome – is immediately recognisable. For 30 years he has been an award-winning
member of the BBC’s team of foreign correspondents, bringing wars, natural
disasters, political stand-offs and occasionally something a bit more cheerful
into our living rooms on the evening news.
If the countenance is familiar, though, his current location isn’t. His usual
on-screen sign-off is ringing in my ears — “Malcolm Brabant, BBC News, Athens” –
but today he is welcoming me into his home in Copenhagen.
He is, he explains, currently living in exile from the Greek capital, and
thereby “missing one the biggest news stories of my career”. The reason is the
biggest personal story of Brabant’s 58 years. As he puts it with what I quickly
learn is characteristic bluntness: “I went bonkers.”
In April 2011, he attended an Athens clinic for a routine vaccination against
yellow fever before an assignment in the Ivory Coast. As well as reporting from
Athens, he has also travelled the globe to cover international stories, winning
a coveted Sony award in 1993 for his reporting from a besieged Sarajevo at the
height of the Bosnian crisis.
His reaction to the vaccine, however, was anything but routine. “It fried my
brain,” he states simply. Overnight a previously sane man developed severe
psychosis. An agnostic, Brabant became so convinced he was the Messiah that he
telephoned his bemused fellow correspondent, Allan Little, to appoint him “first
disciple” and ask him to record his words of wisdom.
'I suffered mental torment after routine injection' 25 May
One minute he was announcing that the Queen was aware of his divine status, the
next he was claiming to be able to stop the traffic just by thinking about it,
and control all technology. To prove the point, he flushed his Kindle down the
lavatory.
It was utterly bewildering for those around him, especially when he switched
into the persona of Winston Churchill, and then the Devil. Yet, because he had
no insight into how strangely he was acting, Brabant also attempted to carry on
reporting, with results that horrified previously admiring editors at the BBC.
With the corporation’s support, he was sent to hospital in Athens, then
released, but shortly afterwards he experienced a second mental breakdown.
Unable to work, broke and broken, he returned to his childhood home in Suffolk
where he tried and failed to get the help he needed from the NHS. While there,
and out of control mentally, he presented himself, clad only in cycling gear but
minus a bike, at BBC Television Centre in West London, which was being picketed
in a pay dispute. He demanded to see senior managers and generally caused such a
scene that the police were called.
“I was the man in Lycra, come to solve the strike,” he recalls without
flinching. “I really thought in my madness that I could do it but, of course, I
was away with the fairies. That will have been the last time many of those
people at the BBC saw me face to face.”
At one stage, he bumped into Frank Gardner, the BBC’s security correspondent
partially paralysed after being shot in Saudi Arabia in 2004. Brabant attempted,
Messiah-like, to effect a miracle cure by rubbing his back.
He ended up back in Greece and no better. He was persuaded by his Danish wife,
Trine Villemann, to abandon their rented home, pack what few possessions they
could fit into their estate car, alongside their 11-year-old son, Lukas, and the
family dog, and drive across the continent in a desperate search for psychiatric
help in Denmark.
Perched on the sofa beside her husband in their typically Scandinavian
white-walled apartment in the Danish capital, Villemann grimaces when she
recalls just what a state he was in. “I have been around mental illness before
[her father hanged himself], but I have never seen someone so gone before.
Malcolm was clawing around in the deepest, darkest parts of his mind,” she says.
“It would have killed a lesser human being.”
She pauses as she pushes her long blonde hair back from her face. “I am ashamed
to remember them now, but there were even times when I thought it would be
better if he died because his suffering was so great.
“I have this nagging image in my head that won’t ever go away of Malcolm,
sitting on his bed in the hospital, with his arms folded. He was rocking
backwards and forwards, saying, ‘I’m the Devil, I’m the Devil’. Whatever anger
I’d felt about the situation we were in evaporated in that moment.”
The Danish health professionals who slowly and painstakingly brought Brabant
back to sanity told him that he would have to spend the rest of his life on
medication. He decided otherwise.
“I was determined this wasn’t going to beat me. When I finally left hospital in
2012, I would rattle as I walked around because I was carrying so many pills. I
was a one-man chemist’s shop. It took me another year and a half to reduce my
medication. I stopped taking it in January of last year, and since then I have
gradually been getting stronger and stronger.”
So much so that he is now back at work, and back on our screens after almost
four years away. His unheralded return came earlier this month with his reports
on the murder of two people by an Islamist extremist in separate attacks in
Copenhagen.
Brabant says: “In the aftermath of those attacks, I was working in the old way:
until I dropped. I need to. Because of my illness, we have lost everything. I
have a 15-year-old son to support, and we don’t even have a car any more. I am
the man from the BBC who arrives by bicycle. It makes me feel like a cub
reporter again.”
Picking up the threads of his career and of his reputation is one part of his
life today in Copenhagen. But Brabant and his wife are also pouring their
considerable energies into spearheading a campaign that they hope will prevent
others suffering as a result of vaccinations.
“My husband had absolutely no previous history of mental illness,” says
Villemann. “There was nothing latent in him. I have no doubt at all that his
severe psychosis was brought on by the yellow fever vaccine.”
Brabant adds: “I was not a one-in-a-million case. We are determined to make the
manufacturers, Sanofi Pasteur, investigate what is happening. I have provided
them with open access to all the doctors who treated me so they can hear what
their vaccine did to me, but they haven’t been in touch. They are refusing to
engage.”
Faced with this silence, the couple have been collecting reports from many
others around the globe who suffered similar consequences to
Brabant. And it is not just a question of a few individuals sounding the alarm
bells. In 2005, Dr Thomas Monath, a world expert on yellow fever, who sits on
various World Health Organisation committees, confirmed publicly that the
vaccine in question can cause “really severe and significant, serious adverse
events”.
Even the manufacturer seems to be aware that all may not be well. In 2013 its
head of vaccine innovation, Dr Ronald Neeleman, admitted to a conference that
the vaccine in question had not been reviewed in many years. “[It serves] a
small market, with very low returns, and there is not really an incentive to
redevelop,” he said.
If Dr Neeleman was hinting that it is past its sell-by date, then, as Brabant
points out, it remains a product “routinely available in high street chemists.
It is given to British soldiers who are going overseas. And it is used widely in
Africa, where there are few channels for reporting when people go mad after
taking it”.
“We are not anti-vaccine in general,” stresses Villemann. “Yellow-fever
vaccination saves lives, but what concerns us is that, when something goes
wrong, there appears to be no help for people like Malcolm whose lives have been
ruined.”
They are seeking financial compensation and they are prepared for it to be a
bruising fight. To which end they have bared all in a book, Malcolm is a Little
Unwell.
They are also working on a documentary film, using some footage they shot during
the most gruelling chapters of Brabant’s illness.
Aren’t they tempted to draw a veil and just get on with their careers?
“Even if we wanted to,” Brabant replies phlegmatically, “we couldn’t. It’s out
there anyway because of how I behaved.”
“No one rolls out the red carpet to welcome back people who have suffered a
mental illness,” says Villemann. “That cannot go unchallenged.”

When Susan Lawson of Colorado hears parents declaring, unequivocally, that
everyone should vaccinate their children because it’s perfectly safe, she says
it feels “like a punch in the gut.” That’s because she’s seen another side of
the story: Her daughter Julia, now 9, was left with permanent brain damage —an
injury acknowledged by a federal court payout — after receiving her MMRV
(measles-mumps-rubella-var
Lawson tells Yahoo Parenting that one morning, about a week after Julia received
the shot, her now-ex-husband found their daughter in a terrifying state. “She
was blue and cold and her body was arched, her eyes were looking in opposite
directions, and she was covered in feces and vomit,” she recalls. “We thought
she was dead.” She was rushed to the hospital, where doctors said she was having
seizures, and she was put into a medically induced coma. Julia spent many days
in intensive care and the neurology ward before being sent home with the
diagnosis of encephalitis, or swelling of the brain.
Lawson, a veterinarian who had the utmost faith in medicine, had never before
questioned vaccinations, and had always inoculated Julia right on schedule. But
now she began to wonder. Hospital doctors dismissed any thought of a connection.
But when Lawson asked a pediatrician about it, she was told it could be a
possibility. Every family featured in this story received a payment by the
United States Court of Federal Claims, which concluded that their rare injuries
were caused by the vaccines.
“I felt shocked, bewildered, and guilty,” Lawson recalls. “We were trying to
protect her, and instead I destroyed her. The guilt is huge.”
The pediatrician helped Lawson file a notice through the Vaccine Adverse Event
Reporting System (VAERS), a national vaccine safety surveillance program
cosponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA). Lawson then hired a vaccine-injury attorney and
began what became a trying, four-year journey through the country’s National
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program of the US Court of Federal Claims — a
specific, no-fault forum for vaccine injuries or deaths, set up by Congress in
1986 to ensure justice for children (and, as clarified by the Supreme Court
recently, to protect vaccine manufacturers from being sued). At the end of it,
in 2011, Lawson was awarded nearly $1.5 million for lost future wages, future
life care, and pain and suffering on behalf of her daughter, whom she describes
as “an eternal toddler,” with little language skills, constant medications, and
daily seizures.
“Was it justice? I mean, they could have done nothing,” Lawson says. “But I just
want my kid back.”

From my friend Ann who stopped vaccinating at 9 months:
At a week old my youngest son started crying and screaming non stop; slept no
more than an hour at a time, constantly had his body scrunched up into a ball
and acted as if he were in agony. At a month old our pediatrician stated he had
"colic".
At two months old my son developed such severe eczema that he had open sores ...
It happened directly after his two month vaccinations.
He started having bloody, mucousy diarrhea.. I was told that he had a milk
protein allergy and to cut out dairy and soy from my diet. When that did not
help his list of symptoms I was advised to stop breastfeeding and to start him
on Neocate or Elecare formula. We did, and our insurance did not cover the cost;
we paid over $700 a month out of pocket.
When my sons symptoms slightly improved but did not fully dissipate we saw a
pediatric allergist, my son skin test came back negative. The allergist
suggested that my son may have a severe intolerance to milk proteins and that
the bovine serum in the TDaP vaccine may be causing allergic reaction flare-ups.
Our pediatrician stated our son was just sensitive and that vaccination would
only help him.
At four months he had a flat skin rash following vaccination, at 6 months it was
the same. 9 months was full body hives.
My son did not, could not, would not eat any type of food until 14 months. Did
not take naps until 16 months and could not sleep through the night until 3
months ago at two years old. (Would wake up screaming and vomiting). We were
told he was "fine".
We were denied a medical exemption.
My son is not a " coincidence ". He is not a " one in a million" who has a
reaction. And he is not an "exception to the rule". We are one of THOUSANDS, and
we will be silenced no more.
From my friend Elizabeth:
My daughter developed terrible eczema after dtap @ 3mos old. She now 1 year
later has food allergies and a hyper sensitive immune system. The doctors got
irritated when I mentioned shots being the cause. We did a blood allergy test at
4 months old which revealed egg and dairy allergy. I was nursing so they told me
it was my fault she was sick because of my diet. I had to quit nursing her. I
tried everything. Oils, creams, changing detergents, air purifiers. We had break
through when I completely changed her diet. She still has breakouts but not
nearly as bad.
Terry received his vaccines on 6-3-14 and was in heaven the next morning.
From Ashley
Walls
My son's name is Karsen Walls he is now 2 years old. He was up to date on all
his vaccines and just had the "normal" reactions fever, fussiness, always got
sick after vaccines. At that time i thought nothing of it other than i felt we
lived in the dr Office nothing major no hospitalization or anything like that
thank god. So July of 2014 he got 6-7 vaccines we went home over thenext few
days he ran a mild low grade fever of like 99.? i did not have to give him any
OTC meds he acted a little tired but he normally did after shots. He acted fine
other than those symptoms. a few days later i noticed he was getting bruises in
various places his legs, arms, back, butt sides of ribs to be honest it began to
look like someone was beating him, my mom is our babysitter so i knew that was
not happening.
So i started to take pictures and they continued to get worse so i took him to
our pediatricians office and told them about his bruises and ect and the PA was
more concerned about his mild 99.? Fever then the bruises he said since he just
started walking they looked normal to him. um yeah maybe on his legs from
falling but he was a late walker and once he knew he could walk he just did it
there was no delay or practice or unbalanced walking he just took off and was
walking like a pro. So i had to demand blood work to be done. I thought since i
as anemic that maybe he was too and his iron levels were low. So the PA finally
agreed to do blood work. My mom took him to our local hospital for blood work
the next morning and by 7:30pm that day we got a very disturbing call from the
Dr Office saying our son’s platelet levels were dangerously low and we needed to
get him to the ER right away.
So new parents that we are and our son is our world started freaking out we had
no idea what platelets were or their purpose but we did as the said and took him
to the ER. They took him right back to be seen and tested him again (cbc) and
did a couple other test and his levels were still low 23K. So the ER dr got on
the phone with Children’s hospital in Washington DC and made is an apt with them
for the next morning at 10:00am and said our son had ITP and they would be able
to explain more about it. We took him to children's hospital the next morning
like directed and they did blood work again and we meet his Hematology dr for
the first time.
She explained everything to us and asked us lots of questions.
Since July of 2014 we have taken him for blood work every week, then every two
weeks, then every three weeks and now once a month unless he bruises again in
weird unexplained places. December of 2014 his levels went up to the highest of
537K the dr at children’s hospital told us that his ITP was in remission i guess
you could say and that it was very rare his levels would ever drop to low
numbers again and for us to just monitor him for signs of ITP again. The end of
Feb my son got a virus all symptoms was mild, a weird mild compared to previous
childhood illness (colds and Viruses) well once again he started bruising
everywhere again in weird places again it looked like my son was getting beat.
(i have every single picture to share if need to) so i contacted our dr and we
did blood work and sure enough levels down to 61K what a slap in the face. so we
now believe that his levels will drop drastically every time he gets a cold or
virus and i don't think our fight with ITP is over or every will be over. July
2015 will be one year my son had been diagnosed and has been fighting ITP. He
now again has to do blood work once a month unless he gets peppered with bruises
between that time.
His levels have not been below 10K to receive any treatment and since the
treatments are just as toxic and bad as the vaccines i do not plan to start any
treatment. All those steroid are just temporary fixes and has side effects of
their own and i do not wish to put my now 2 year old thru any of that. Since
August we have been seeing a chiropractor that practices Homeopathy so she has
him on a detox remedy, probiotics and vitamin D, K and B.
Since i have stopped all vaccines he has been the healthiest. Over the winter he
had two viruses and one cold all lasting a couple days and not as severe as
previous colds and viruses. I didn't even have to give him any fever reducers
which would have been treated with homeopathy anyway. So other than the ITP he
is a healthy 2 year old. He was i guess you could say a late walker at 15 months
but other than that he is meeting all his milestones and is smart as a whip.
Derek and Breanna lost their son, 6 month old Liam Archer Osterhout, suddenly
on Thursday evening 3/26/2015. Liam was deeply loved and brought immense joy and
love into the lives of his parents and all that knew him.
It was a typical evening on Thursday when Breanna nursed her son and laid him
down to sleep. After a short period of time, she went in to check on him and he
was chilly and blue. She rushed him to his Papa, Del, who is a First Responder,
and he did all he could to try to revive Liam until the ambulance arrived.
Unfortunately, Liam could not be revived. Derek and Breanna have donated Liam's
heart values so other families hopefully will not feel the pain and suffering
they are feeling. In a split second, their lives have been forever altered.

Lorrin Kain's seizures began 2 hours after her shot.... The US Vaccine Court
said the vaccine was the cause. The vaccine eventually took her life.

"within
minutes ... he stopped breathing. ....so far all he know is they don't
believe vaccinations caused it." Right.. no way vaccinations caused it...
WHEN Kellie Evans bought her 10-week-old baby into a Rockhampton medical
centre, she didn't think twice about giving him his routine vaccinations.
But within minutes of young Brooklyn receiving two immunisations, he stopped
breathing.
After being resuscitated by doctors at the clinic he started having seizures
and stopped breathing twice more in that hour.
Kellie and her husband Darren have been with Brooklyn in a Brisbane hospital
since Friday, when he was taken from Rockhampton Hospital by the Royal
Flying Doctor Service.
Darren, who is a local jockey, said Kellie has been by Brooklyn's side 24/7
since he was hospitalised.
"He was pretty much dead," he said.
"They had to close the medical centre down and call the ambulance.
"We're pretty much shell-shocked … the worst part is just waiting."
Darren said doctors still don't know what caused Brooklyn to stop breathing
or start having seizures, which have returned each day.
So far all he knows is they don't believe the vaccinations caused it.
"No one knows what it is, they're not sure what caused it," he said.
Darren said their only theory is a possible hole in his oesophagus which is
sending air into his stomach and food into his lungs, but so far all tests
results haven't shown anything wrong.
Darren and Kellie have been staying with family, while Darren's mother looks
after their four-year-old daughter Chanel.
Brooklyn was initially taken to the medical centre last Tuesday to have
medical staff assess an umbilical hernia, and while there they decided to
give him his two-month check-up.
The National Jockey Trust has also lent a hand with counselling and
accommodation closer to the hospital so they don't have to worry about
paying for car parking, which has cost them $30 a day.

"...Clayton’s
first DPT-P shot was administered at 8 weeks. Within hours, I could not hold
him, try as I might, for he was arched right over backwards. His screaming
was non-stop, at an unnatural, terrifying pitch I had never heard before. I
later learned this is called ‘the encephalitic scream.’ I called our family
pediatrician at 2 a.m. asking if I should bring Clayton in to the ER. No, I
was told, this was normal, and it was suggested to me that I should just let
him ‘cry it out.’ I was then told that Clayton would be fine, and that I
should leave him be and go get some sleep.
This went on for 16 hours! Still another call, with me more and more
frantic. Being told to relax, as my hysterics could be exacerbating the
problem. I was exhausted and fearful, and once again, asked if I should
bring my son to the hospital. Again the answer was no, and again, told to
just go to bed. Sleep! Though my mind and body were screaming for just that,
sleep was the last thing on my mind. All I could do was sit on the bed and
cry; I’d never felt such a keen feeling of helplessness, and isolation in my
life.
There was no family to call for help – the Dr’s were all I could count on to
help us… or so I thought.
Clayton grew very quiet. At this point, I was able to encourage him to nurse
weakly for perhaps a minute, before his little body shuddered, and he fell
into a deep sleep. His limbs were flaccid and limp as I changed him and
placed him into his bassinet.
Too nervous to sleep, I paced the floor, chewing my nails, still unsure as
to whether or not Clayton was really okay. Sitting on the edge of the couch,
I stared into the bassinet. Not long after he had fallen asleep, his skin
turned gray and his lips blue. (again, for the second time in his short life
– cyanotic)..." Read more here:

Two babies have died and 39 others are in hospital after suffering adverse
effects following shots given under the National Vaccination Program.
The infants had been vaccinated against tuberculosis, rotavirus and hepatitis B
early yesterday morning, but began suffering allergic reactions by 7:00pm last
night. A total of 52 children were given the shots in the indigenous community
of La Pimienta, San José and San Antonio del Monte, located in the municipality
of Simojovel, Chiapas.
The Social Security Institute (IMSS) said it has launched an investigation and
ordered the suspension of all vaccinations throughout the country. A team of
health officials and experts has been sent to Chiapas to determine what
happened.
The babies who died were just 28 and 30 days old. The others have been
transferred to hospitals in the state capital, Tuxtla Gutiérrez, where one is in
serious condition, 14 are in poor condition and another 22 are stable.

Cerebral palsy , Epilepsy , and Autism
are the results of that injury .
At 4 months old
after receiving the DTP shot , she went into a 15 minute long Grand Mull
seizure .
She was never the same .
I witnessed this with my own eyes , and held her while she convulsed .
I'm her brother , and she's my baby sister.
She's a "lucky" one , over 5,000 children died from that vaccine by 1986 ,
but we given "mysterious" cause of death .
Thimerosal crippled my sister.
Lyme disease crippled my sister.
Aluminum crippled my sister.
Formaldehyde crippled my sister.
MSG crippled my sister.
All those were/are in vaccines.
She cannot walk or talk or feed herself.
She has a about 20 seizures a day.
She was born normal.

From Melissa
Sue Frohrib:
"I never will come to terms with my child's death, how can a person? But
recently I found some clarity, thanks to an old school mate. I'll tell you my
story.
When Willow Schae Thomas was born she was the best gift I could have ever given
her father, all he wanted was a baby and he finally got her. The best gift.. yet
we barely had the chance to get all the wrapping off.
She was born on Halloween last year 2014. And I loved it even more that she was
born on such an awesome holiday. Sadly, In utero they saw her enlarged bladder
on my last growth ultrasound and I was told I was then high risk pregnancy. When
she was born we had scheduled an appointment with a urology specialist. Best,
most experienced in the state. After many appointments she was on Oxybutynin for
an overactive bladder.
Willow's urologist had been in the business for years upon years and had no
conclusion to why her bladder would not flow properly. 1 out of maybe 4 patients
he was not able to help, or should I say limited to help because she was a
mystery. Her urine would back up in to her kidneys. Even the medication wasn't
helping.
After infections, I was taught how to give her a straight catheter every 3 hours
to relieve her so her kidneys didn't get destroyed, and eventually a catheter
overnight made it easier on us but it was a lot of work. Anything for our baby
girl though.
Despite her issues and visits to her pediatrician, her specialist and 3
different hospital stays for 3 different infections, one being ecoli in the
blood (thanks to all the cathing it was hard to keep bacteria from infecting her
tiny body) she was still a very happy content baby.
She was absolutely amazing, so beautiful. Then all of a sudden, 4 days after
Valentines day(such a happy day for us) (she was 3.5 months old) she passed away
sometime in the morning of February 18th. It's so hard, so fresh in our minds
still.
My partner, her father found her in her crib with mucus all over her face. The
worst 6 hours of my life, harassment from the police, no consoling from my
partner because they split us up. He was almost arrested because he didn't want
to talk to them, he was so distraught as was I. They treated us like we killed
her n waited on a search warrant so they could look through all of our stuff. It
was so traumatizing not being able to hold her, just couldn't stop wracking my
mind that she was gone... you never think it will happen to you and then when it
does it's a nightmare come to life. I just wanted to wake up. eventually they
left and finally we talked to the coroner after her autopsy. She had sepsis, was
extremely dehydrated. She'd gotten Influenza which turned in to pneumonia. She
had NO symptoms other then a stuffy nose, which had gone away a few days prior.
How could that happen? I thought about it ever single day, until an old friend
got in contact with me and asked me about Willow's vaccinations. I told her
she'd had them at the end of January.
I hadn't gotten her 2 month shots right away, I got them at 3 months. She'd had
her 2 month shots. And that's when my friend told me that I needed to look more
in to it. I was shocked to realize the truth: that she had likely gotten sick
from the vaccinations themself.
It's not just a coincidence that 2 weeks after her vaccinations she suddenly
died with no symptoms. Now that I'm at this point of clarity where I actually
realize and understand what happened to my little beauty, I wonder if any other
parents out here have suspicion or know their child had passed from a routine
vaccinations?

These are his mom's words. (Jane Mariouw)
Thank you, Debi, for considering
my son, Nicks' story. It is not validated by a claim to the Vaccine Injury
Board, though. We did settle out of court for the mistakes made by hospital
staff during his birth. It may have contributed to CP and brain damage. But, he
did not start having seizures that we know of until 13 months.
He was underweight so his first shots were delayed till he was over 10 lbs. at
3-4 months.
At around 1 year, he was SO sick. Looking back, it was after his shots.
everything coming out of both ends violently, acting "strange"(which was
seizures we were told at the hospital walk in).
It was few seizures a year for 12 years. at age 12 or so had another Hep.B shot.
seizures became almost daily and continuous till age 33. Nick died of SUDEP in
2012. (Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy)

worry mom...it's just the shots". I then went home and gave him mitochondrial

We still battle chicken pox in his brain and heart and the damage the measles
virus has done to his esophagus and intestines. We lost his neurotypical
development and immune function completely the next day.
The PICA set in, he quit drinking, could not suck, began licking walls and his
eyes kept rolling back into his head. Cleveland Clinic told me it was behavioral.
Except for the Chief Geneticist who whispered to us "I read you think it has
something to do with the shots?"
She nodded in agreement. While the pressure is intense, may I ask you, what is
worse? Standing up for scientific truth in the face of bullying, or succumbing
to it and spending your life and savings undoing the damage done? If the child
is lucky enough to survive...nothing...nothin

Gardasil: The decision we will always regret
By Kim Robinson, Red Hill, Pennsylvania
Katie's Gardasil Experience
By all accounts, our daughter was normal before receiving the HPV vaccine. Katie
performed very well in school. She was conscientious, hard-working and took
pride in getting good grades. She loved dancing having taken dance classes since
she was 3 years old.
Katie always danced and twirled throughout our home and anywhere else she
happened to be. When Katie was 10, she joined cheerleading and became involved
in competition cheerleading. She was very active, taking four hours of dance
class every week plus spending many more hours practicing with her competition
cheer team. Katie was healthy and vibrant.
We were very diligent with our children’s health. We never missed an annual
check-up and we also followed the pediatrician’s recommended vaccine schedule
including annual flu shots. Our pediatrician recommended the Gardasil vaccine.
The Gardasil vaccine was heavily advertised on TV. We read the vaccine
Disclosure. It said that the vaccine should not be given to those with HIV.
Katie did not have HIV so we signed the Consent.
On September 2, 2010 at the age of 11, Katie received the first Gardasil
vaccine. Katie’s first day of middle school was September 7, 2010. Initially, we
believed that her fatigue and headaches were being caused by having to get up
much earlier in the morning for middle school. However, she never adjusted to
the new schedule and soon her symptoms began exploding.
Katie would often tell us “I don’t know what’s wrong, I just don’t feel good.”
She began sleeping a lot – over 12 hours a day and even more on the weekends,
which would allow her gather enough energy to go to school a few days before she
crashed again. She missed days at school, dance lessons and cheer practices.
Soon her illness was visible on the outside too. Katie didn’t look good –
constant dark circles under her eyes, her skin color was ashen and she appeared
listless.
To us, it seemed that her symptoms must be related to the Gardasil vaccine.
Katie’s earliest symptoms began after receiving this vaccine. We searched the
internet but only found vague information – nothing that matched our daughter’s
symptoms. We asked Katie’s pediatrician and other specialists if the Gardasil
vaccine could be related to her symptoms but our inquiries were quickly
dismissed as not having any correlation to her illness. Katie’s earliest
symptoms were a constant headache or migraine that did not respond to pain
relievers, stabbing 24/7 bilateral ear pain, fatigue not relieved by sleep,
abdominal pain, nausea and joint pain. We called and visited her pediatrician
repeatedly. We began taking Katie to specialists including Neurologists, ENT’s,
GI, and an OBGYN and made several visits to the Emergency Room. Katie also
received many blood tests, CAT scans and an MRI. Nothing any of the doctors did
relieved Katie’s symptoms. As a matter of fact, the drugs prescribed to
alleviate her symptoms only made her feel worse. Our pediatrician and other
doctors involved with Katie’s care began suggesting that her illness was
psychosomatic and recommended that we take her to a psychologist. We soon found
that we were on our own, dealing with a medical issue we did not understand but
trying desperately to help our daughter.
When searching the internet with Katie’s symptoms, Lyme disease would always
come up as the search result. In addition to asking all of Katie’s doctors if
the Gardasil vaccine was the cause of Katie’s illness, we also began asking if
Lyme disease could be the culprit. In October 2010, Katie was first tested for
Lyme disease. The results were negative as were two later rounds of testing. We
read on the internet that ELISA and Western Blot tests for Lyme disease are
unreliable and that many people who actually had Lyme disease tested negative.
Since this information is all over the internet, we thought it was common
knowledge to doctors as well.
Instead, we were emphatically told by doctor after doctor that this was not
true, that the testing for Lyme disease is highly reliable and that there was no
way Katie had Lyme disease. In April 2011, Katie could no longer go to school or
participate in dance or cheerleading – the pain and fatigue was all consuming.
Nothing any of the doctors did provided any relief yet every doctor refused to
consider Lyme disease or that the Gardasil vaccine was related to her illness.
Katie’s list of symptoms included the following: 24/7 headaches and migraines,
24/7 stabbing ear pain, hyperacusis, fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, all over
joint pain, constant sore throat, visual disturbances, light sensitivity,
cognitive issues such as memory and severe comprehension problems, random
numbness and tingling, weird “bug crawling” skin sensations, generalized
weakness throughout her body (it was difficult for Katie to just sit in the
shower to bathe), dizziness, fainting and heart palpitations. She slept long
hours and stayed in her bedroom shielding herself from the noise of everyday
living.
In May, we requested testing through a lab specializing in tick-borne disease
testing. Katie’s pediatrician reluctantly signed the lab Requisition Form. This
time the test results showed that Katie was highly positive for Bartonella
Henselae, a tick-borne disease also known as a co-infection to Lyme disease. She
was also highly positive for Mycoplasma Pneumonia and the testing showed that
her immune system was struggling. Katie’s Western Blot for Lyme disease was
negative.
We took those results with us to a long awaited CHOP Diagnostic Center
appointment (think the “Dr. House” of the Children’s Hospital) and also to her
CHOP Neurologist. Katie even had the classic Bartonella rash (looks like purple
and red stretch marks) surrounding her breasts and hips which is confirmation of
an active Bartonella infection. Both doctors told us that these test results
only showed that Katie was “exposed” to Bartonella – it did not mean she had an
active infection. Both came to the same conclusion that her Bartonella rash was
actually just stretch marks. That was particularly hard for us to believe. Katie
was muscular and lean from years of dance and cheer.
Neither doctor was concerned about her blazing Mycoplasma Pneumonia infection
nor was the fact that the testing showed her immune system impaired. Instead,
CHOP Diagnostic Center diagnosed Katie with the beginning stages of Dysautonomia
(a malfunctioning automatic nervous system). We were told that there was no cure
and that symptoms were managed with medications. The CHOP Neurologist wasn’t in
agreement with CHOP Diagnostic Center; instead she stuck to her prior diagnosis
– Chronic Migraine Disorder with Chronic Ear Pain Neuralgia. The Neurologist
recommended that we continue with the same treatment of 20 pills a day even
though it did absolutely nothing for Katie other than increase her nausea and
head pain. We felt utter disbelief, despair and anger.
We found our way to a local support group for those suffering with tick-borne
diseases, which provided recommendations to LLMD’s (Lyme Literate Medical
Doctors). Katie’s first appointment with an LLMD was in June 2011. This
physician spent an hour reviewing blood tests and other medical reports we
collected and asked a lot of questions that had never been asked before. He
clinically diagnosed Katie with Lyme disease and agreed with the test results
that reported active infections with Bartonella Henselae and Mycoplasma
Pneumonia. He told us that Katie was very sick. Ironically, upon hearing that
news we felt utter relief. This was the first doctor, since Katie’s illness
began over nine months before that acknowledged she was ill. Since that time,
Katie was diagnosed with chronic Strep, HHV6, hypo-coagulation, susceptibility
to bio-toxin illness (mold and environmental sensitivities) and has acquired
autoimmune thyroid disease.
It has been three and a half years since Katie received the Gardasil vaccine and
she still remains chronically ill. She was unable to attend school in 7th and
8th grades. This year, Katie decided to repeat 8th grade again rather than begin
high school still sick. Katie has an IEP plan in school which reduces her daily
schedule to three core classes only. Unfortunately, Katie is still too sick to
attend school with any regularity. Most days, a teacher comes to our home to
review the lessons she missed at school. Some days, Katie’s pain levels are too
high so that she can’t even tolerate home tutoring. Although she longs to get
back to dancing again, she spends most days in her room sleeping or resting and
trying to cope with chronic pain. At 14 years old, Katie’s life closely
resembles a sick elderly person instead of an active vibrant teenager she should
be.
After Katie was finally diagnosed with tick-borne diseases, we put our initial
suspicion about the Gardasil vaccine aside. Since the treatment of tick-borne
diseases is considered emerging medicine, I am always combing the internet for
new information on tick-borne diseases, the latest research or treatments. To
our utter disbelief, I came across an article reporting that the Gardasil
vaccine can activate a latent Bartonella infection that was otherwise being
suppressed by a properly functioning immune system prior to vaccination. We now
believe our earliest suspicion was correct.
We found many stories about devastating health changes post-vaccine. These
stories are eerily familiar to our daughter’s. The Gardasil vaccine is known to
activate latent infections and viruses, such as Epstein Barr and Bartonella.
The Gardasil vaccine deregulates the immune system and that allows latent
infections and viruses, which were kept in check pre-vaccine by a then properly
functioning immune system, to activate post-vaccine. Now, there is evidence that
the HPV vaccine is linked to the onset of autoimmune diseases.
We recently consulted Katie’s LLMD and also her Primary Care Physician, who
reviewed Katie’s vaccine log and extensive medical records. Both agree that
Katie’s immune system was injured by the Gardasil vaccine and that it was the
catalyst to her cascading health problems and chronic illness. Katie’s LLMD is
now treating her for a vaccine injury in addition to treating multiple
tick-borne diseases, other infections/viruses and autoimmune thyroid disease.
At this point, we are totally outside our insurance company and most everything
is out-of-pocket. The overall expense of Katie’s illness greatly outpaces our
income so many expenses are put on credit cards. But the biggest cost by far is
the toll that the Gardasil vaccine has taken on our daughter’s health and
well-being. We wonder if she will ever be able to reclaim her health and get
back to living a normal life free of pain.
We deeply regret consenting to the Gardasil vaccine. We had no idea of the
severe side effects some experience post vaccine. Every day, we wish we had been
more informed. Parents beware of blindly following your doctor’s recommended
vaccine schedule. Do not rely or expect your doctor to know everything. You must
do your own research and ask plenty of questions. Our family found out the hard
way that it is possible for a vaccine to have lasting and devastating effects.

https://www.facebook.com/
Everything was going perfect we planned the pregnancy so I knew from the
start. It was a very happy and healthy pregnancy, birth, everything. Birth
was natural with no epidural. Four pushes she was out, and perfectly
healthy.
She was simply a very happy baby always smiling never sick. She was Rolling
over, trying to sit up on her own a little. Doing everything a 4 month old
should be doing. Her Pediatrician even made a comment that she was above
average on her motor skills.
Then she got her 4 month vaccines.
(07/08/2014)
3 shots including 6 vaccines;
DTaP, Hib, IPV, Rotavirus, PCV, Hep B
I could feel God tugging at me to decline them. I did. I told the nurse no.
She assured me my baby was fine and would remain fine. She told me DCF could
be called if any one finds out my baby isn't vaccinated, that it is medical
neglect. I was so scared so I turned my back on my baby. I just looked the
other way and said "fine" and she got her shots as she sat in her daddies
lap. I knew in that moment I had failed her. I felt it in my gut, but I
ignored it.
Within the hour our baby girl completely changed.
**She started having seizures and/or spasms.
** Screaming a horrible high pitched scream.
**She no longer smiles, coos or laughs. **Can no longer hold her head up, or
sit up on her own.
**No longer rolling over.
**No longer interested in toys.
**clenching of the fists
Gradually she got worse.
**She started arching her back horribly, and trying to push her head back
all the time almost touching her bottom.
**Eyes go back into her head after seconds of focusing on something,
especially after a seizure or spasm.
**At times she is hypersensitive and has a spasm by just a soft rub on the
face by our hands or kiss on the cheek, but not always.
**stiffness in joints, especially arms and neck.
As You can imagine we were very concerned I knew something was terribly
wrong. Our worse fear had come true.
I called the doctors they said it is perfectly normal. They told me to give
her Tylenol.
I took her to see her Pediatrician for her 5 month check up who said I was
overprotective and that she is just teething and gassy and below average on
motor skills. But wait just a month ago she was above average, that doesn't
make sense. Anyways I kept asking questions regarding vaccines or anything
else just knowing gas and teething isn't the cause. However he was reluctant
to answer and instead said he would call me if he or any other parents had
questions since I know everything.
Her 6 month appointment she was seen by a different Pediatrician. We
explained all the same symptoms and concerns. She immediately picked our
daughter up and checked her out feeling her head. She then immediately
referred Ariella to Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. Explaining that the
fontanelle (soft spot on the top of her head) had completely closed
prematurely.
We immediately rushed her there. They ran a cat scan to determine the cause
of the fontanelle closing. Finding that the brain had stopped growing at 4
months of age, decreased in size alittle, and she has a few cysts on her
brain.
So they admitted her and the tests began.
**urine tests
** countless blood tests
**spinal tap
**MRI
After 3 long days of constant testing they sent her home. Only to return 2
days later for an appointment for more tests.
**more blood
**EEG
**hearing test
The next 3 weeks all we could do is pray and hope for the best, as we waited
for the results.
Finally they came but it wasn't good.
Her galactocerebrosidase was low. Indicating it could possibly be Krabbe
disease, or another disease similar.
Now Krabbe disease is 100% genetic. Meaning both parents have to carry the
gene. As well as every one else in both of our families. It is so rare the
doctors that worked her case will never see it in their life again.
They said they needed to do a DNA test to confirm it. However we had to pay
out of pocket. We went down to the lab payed right then and there and got
the test done.
In the meantime they are already convenienced she has it and will pass soon.
Advising us to enjoy our last few days with her and to make her
comfortable.
They then proscribed her gabapentin and clonidine. Claiming they are both
all natural, no side effects, and I couldn't overdose her if I tried.
I researched them.
Finding out -
**of course they are not natural.
**there are serious side effects including death for both.
**they proscribed her twice the amount of gabapentin my grandfather who is
an amputee is proscribed.
**clonidine is not for children under the age of 3.
**gabapentin is not for children under 12.
**both slow the heart rate.
**these two mixed eventually would have stopped her heart.
So the test results from the "DNA test" came back and turns out it wasn't
the DNA test they did. It was the same test he was holding the results from
when he ordered the DNA test, the test that comfirmed her
galactocerebrosidase was low. They did the test twice. And now claim they
can't do a DNA test on her, or us. Only the fetus if I get pregnant again.
They refuse to give us answers as to why they can't do the test now. They
change the subject as quickly as possible when I say it happened within an
hour of her shots. They claim there is no link to autism and vaccines. I am
not questioning that link tho. My child is not autistic. My child's brain
completely stopped growing, my child stopped development and lost all
development she had. My child's brain shrank. And they wouldn't help me save
her. They gave up on her. They tried killing her, tried stopping her heart.
They also tried putting her on hospice. After explaining to both the
referring doctor and the nurse that called that we are not in the least bit
interested, that we refuse to give up. They still randomly showed up and
after yet again explaining we don't need the service they almost immediately
started explaining the sedation process and started getting out the sedation
tools, mean while my child was already sleeping. I continued to refuse it.
Explaining this all started with the vaccines. Then all she cared about was
rather we spoke to any attorneys. Asking us 5 times within 15 minutes in
different ways. As we answered the same way each time, Stating we are only
searching for doctors.
I have now discontinued going back to see them. They refuse to address the
fact the vaccines caused this and We refuse to watch her die.
From research and speaking with other doctors I have found that the vaccines
could cause low levels of galactocerebrosidase also. So that answers that
question. I am working on getting a DNA test to role out Krabbe. I have
however gotten a DNA test done showing what meds she can and cannot have
based on her DNA make up.
We have changed her diet to all organic home made baby food, a goats milk
recipe referred by the doctor with added colostrum, extra virgen olive oil,
unrefined coconut oil, flax seed oil, dha, black molasses, a greens mix
powder, and three different mixes of herbs for brain and nervous system
healing and repair, and in her morning bottle I add her probiotics and daily
vitamins. We also made her a tea from fresh organic turmeric, black pepper,
ginger, garlic, cilantro and whole lemon. She drank an ounce of that each
day for three weeks. I did detox baths everyday for awhile but now only do
it maybe once a week; epsom salt, bentonit clay, and baking soda baths.
Gently brushing her body towards the heart with a soft bristle brush before
each bath. I use pure organic unrefined Coconut oil for diaper cream, and
add equal part extra virgen olive oil for lotion and chapped lips. I just
started December 8, giving her DDR prime essential oil to repair DNA,
damaged cells, and skin tissue. In the beginning of January I also started
giving her an oxidation liquid to kill any microorganisms in her body. I am
also using a zap machine on her, something similar to a riff machine to help
heal her body and kill microorganisms in the skin tissue. And will soon
start putting drips of Ozone in her ears. If You can think of anything else
I could do it would be greatly appreciated.
When Katie
Green was 15, like thousands of schoolgirls she was given a jab against the
human papillomavirus (HPV). This has been linked to cervical cancer and,
under an NHS scheme introduced in 2008, all girls aged 12 to 15 are offered
the vaccine against it.
In November 2009, Katie brought home a school note about having the jab. Her
mother Carol, 50, a teacher in the family’s home town of Upton-upon-Severn,
Worcestershire, was happy to agree.
‘Katie had all the other vaccinations and was fine,’ she says. ‘Apart from
asthma and allergies to pets, her health had always been robust.’
But shortly after her first shot of Cervarix (one of the two brands of the
vaccine), Katie’s arm swelled. ‘It stayed swollen for days and she felt
groggy,’ says Carol.
These side-effects are not uncommon and are warned of in literature given
with the vaccine.
A month later, Katie had the second of the three-course jab and her ordeal
truly began. ‘Next morning, she was uncharacteristically late rising for
school,’ says Carol. ‘When I woke her, she didn’t seem with it. She had wet
the bed, which was completely unusual. Now I wonder if she had suffered a
fit in the night.’

TRANSCRIPT taken from http://
I had my daughter ten years ago. She was born healthy. Very soon after, she
started to become very sick, a very sick baby. Two to three times a month we
were in the doctor’s office. She was prescribed antibiotic after antibiotic. We
were made to believe that this was normal; that all babies are sick, or that
sick. At her twelve-month well baby visit, she was vaccinated. That night, she
started screaming. It was a different cry than before. We had been to emergency
a lot before, but this was different. This was a pain scream.
We took her in. They did let us know that she was complaining about her head at
that time. They wanted to run a lot of tests to make sure that everything was
okay with the head. I believe they did an EKO and a CAT Scan. They came back and
let us know that they’re trying to rule out swelling in the brain. The one thing
the doctor did ask us was when was the last time she was vaccinated. We told
him, “Actually, it was yesterday.” He actually asked us what vaccines she got,
and at that time I couldn’t even tell him. I had no idea. Just took her to her
well baby and did was I was supposed to, and that was it.
They ended up releasing us, and when they were releasing us, he came … It
sounded like he was speaking Chinese. Everything he was telling me, names … We
needed to follow up with the doctor was ultimately what I got out of it. I
called to make the appointment the next day. We had an appointment for the
following day. She woke up the next morning covered in a rash everywhere. We
took her in and found out it was measles. She had had her MMR three days before
that.
Still very sick, kind of continued on the same, but we did notice that the
sickness was now not going away; it was constant. There was very few times she
was not sick after that. I never questioned anything; I believed the doctor,
everything the doctor said at that time. Three months later, she had her
fifteen-month shots, where she had over nine inoculations that day. That was the
day that we lost her. We took her in, fine. Took her home. It was severe
sickness after that.
The symptoms of it, at that time, masked what was actually going on. As the
symptoms were subsiding, after almost three and a half weeks of a fever, runny
nose, cough, trouble breathing, we noticed she wasn’t talking. She started to
get frustrated and seemed confused. There would be zombie-like moments where she
would just stare out the window, and you could yell her name as loud as you can,
and she wasn’t even going to respond.
I took her back in, and I said, “Okay. There’s something wrong.” I asked the
doctor, “Could this be from the swelling in the brain from the vaccines?” What
alarmed me the most was the reaction the doctor had. It was an immediate defense
of vaccines. It didn’t make any sense to me when she did that. Before we left
the doctor that day, I asked for my daughter’s medical records. We got them the
next week, and my heart just broke reading these records. There was pattern.
Vaccinate, vaccine, hospital visit, sickness, over again. Repeat, repeat,
repeat. Here I was, this mom making people wash their hands to hold my baby. I’d
have ten pacifiers in case one fell on the ground to keep her from germs. I was
keeping her sick this entire time.
From there, it was a couple months later that she was diagnosed with autism from
after that. I knew they can call it autism, but it was a clear indication of
when it started, how it happened, but I had to keep quiet. It was a time before
it was … There was nothing out about it, really. It was still this controversial
“nobody talked about it.” I remember getting so frustrated that I had the truth
right there and I had to keep it quiet. I couldn’t share her story. You’d say
the word and this red in peoples’ eyes. They just wanted to let you have it the
minute … without ever hearing the story.
At that time, I had a son who was two months old. Started to do my vaccine
research. It was funny that I actually did the research, and now I was told I
was misinformed, when I had never researched anything on vaccines before. I’d
never picked up a book, anything. I had no idea. We stopped his vaccines. He got
sick after his two-month, and that was at the same exact time as hers was. That
was probably the best decision as a parent I’ve ever made was stopping his.
After that, we went through a period; I call it the dark period, of having no
idea what to do, where to go with my daughter. Then Jenny McCarthy’s book came
out. It was like this shining light of, “I have a recipe now. I have something I
can do. I’m not just sitting here hoping somebody’s going to come along and make
her better. I can actually be a part of this.”
We started the biomedical, we started the supplements, the diet. Within a month,
she was talking again. We piled on the therapy on top of that, behavior therapy,
speech, OT; we did everything we could. It’s had ups and downs, and I’m happy to
say in seven years, she’s never been sick one time. My son is eight; he’s been
sick that one time, after his two-month shots. There’s no other evidence I need
than my two children. I have right here, right there. As far as she’s come,
yesterday she graduated from second grade. She got a real report card like the
other kids did. Even though it has a happy ending, I still think that the story
needs to be told, because I think it could prevent other people from having the
same story. That’s why I really want to get her story out.
I oppose mandatory vaccination because before I was informed, and before I was
educated about it, I was vaccinating my kids, and I was presumed then as the
educated parent, having never heard, read, studied, asked any questions about
it. Now I come in and actually do my research, actually look at both sides, and
now I’m told you can’t make that decision now. We need to make it for you. I’m
going, “Wait a minute. Now I actually know what’s going on, and you’re going to
take away that from me? Why didn’t you come in to these parents before and say,
‘Hey, are you educated?'” There was nothing there. Now it’s, “Your education’s
wrong.” That’s the part that really bothers me. These parents should have the
choice. Just like my daughter got measles from her shot; I should have the
choice how my daughter gets measles, if that’s the case.
Like I said, I think my son would have been my daughter had I vaccinated him,
and I think my daughter would have been like my son, had I not vaccinated her.
Again, I think vaccination should be my choice. If they can’t tell me 100% that
vaccination is safe, and I have nothing to worry about, then they have to give
me the option of making my own informed decision about vaccination.
If you’re a parent on the fence about vaccination, I would say, “Research.” I
would say, “Pull your child’s medical records.” I would say, “Get to know the
genetics behind your child. Know the cousins. What’s going on with the older
cousins? Is there anything that would correlate, that could be?” Go that avenue,
put that time in, and make sure that you’ve done everything you could before you
decided. That’s what I wish I would have done.

This is MY son. This is HIS story. In this picture he is 6 months old. Looks
healthy, other than the fact he's in the hospital with an IV, right? Do you see
MY eyes? The fear? The pain? The worry?
We were waiting to know what was wrong with him. Turns out he has Histiocytosis.
His doctors believe that initial onset and ALL 6 relapses were directly related
to vaccines. You see, the thought process is that when his body created the
immune response to defend itself against the antigen that was introduced, the
immune response was too immature to turn off. So it continued to send out more
and more cells to fight something and eventually those cells turned and attacked
him, accumulating in his lungs, liver, skin, ear canal, and a 6 cm x 7 cm x 4 cm
mass in his chest that displaced his heart, crushed his airway, flattened his
arteries. Everytime he got better and we did another vaccine, within a week the
symptoms would return and a scan would reveal a new lesion/tumor somewhere in
his body in addition to what we would see on his little legs.
Vaccines are NOT safe for everyone. My son is proof of that. His doctors agree
that vaccinating him would not be advisable. However, they also feel he doesn't
qualify for a medical exemption under their companies protocol. He is a Kaiser
patient.
I can not afford to take him to a different doctor, and frankly a different
doctor would not write an exemption without being his primary doctor. So instead
MY child will not be allowed to attend school. He will be FORCED out of school,
for as long as we live in Caifornia.
He turns 7 on Friday, June 19. They didn't expect him to survive. This state
wants to take away his rights to an EQUAL education, provided by the state.
While I am fine with homeschooling, I am NOT ok with it not being MY DECISION,
without coersion.
SB277 is not about protecting children. It's about taking control away from
parents and giving it to the government.
First they attack my right... and you won't stand for me. What will happen when
they attack YOUR right? Will you expect me to stand for you?
edited to add: for those just reading this I ask you read my wall. Watch my
public videos... especially ones posted after this post was posted. Look at the
pictures. I will keep posting pictures of him at different points. In some, he
will appear healthy. In some he will even BE healthy. In some... it will be
apparent something is wrong.
Erin Holmes called the $250,000 she got from the Vaccine Injury Compensation
program for her son, Jacob’s, death in 2002 at the hands of a MMR vaccine “blood
money.” Holmes was awarded the money in fast order after filing her claim, but
it was something that sickened her, as it could never bring her son back and
there was a very robotic feeling to the process.
Jacob went through a half a year’s worth of seizures, was in and out of ER’s,
before he finally succumb to the injury. “I can’t even describe the feeling.
They’re like, ‘Oh, well, we’re sorry we killed your kid. Here’s some money,” she
said. But Holmes wasn’t done, in fact, her anger and frustration remained so
much so, that even after the payoff from the Vaccine Injury Compensation
program, she decided she wanted more. And her attorney told her that was more
than possible.
Because the VIC pays out the sum to the deceased child, Holmes was still able to
personally sue Merck and Co., who created the MMR that was injected into and
eventually led to Jacob’s untimely passing. Her attorney, Marty Keach, said,
“there’s nothing in that statute (the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act)
that takes away the parent’s claims.”
Of course, things took a twist for the worse…
(via cronkitenews.azpbs.org)
But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Holmes could not sue for
negligent design or failure to warn, because the National Childhood Vaccine
Injury Act pre-empted Holmes’ strict product liability, negligent design and
failure to warn claims.
“If we were to conclude that the parents of those suffering a vaccine-related
injury could bring design defect and failure to warn claims … we would be acting
contrary to the statute’s central purpose of managing vaccine manufacturers’
liability because our construction would do little to protect the vaccine
manufacturers from suit,” the court said in its opinion.
The court did say the other six claims are “unaffected” by the National
Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, “and each of these provide a possible remedy to
the injuries that they suffered as a result of Jacob’s illness and death.”
But Keach said the remaining claims would require proof that a specific batch of
vaccines was manufactured incorrectly or that the vaccines were produced in a
certain way that was not approved by the Food and Drug Administration, which
were not viable in Holmes’ case.
In a statement, Merck said “nothing is more important … than the safety and
effectiveness of our vaccines and medicines and the people who use them.”
“We remain confident that MMR II helps protect against measles, mumps and
rubella as described in the labeling for the vaccine,” its statement said.
It went on to say that while “no vaccine or medicine or completely without risk
… MMR II also continues to be recommended for routing administration to children
by public health authorities around the world, including the CDC and the FDA.”

From Vaccine Impact:
"My daughter Chiara is 13 years old. She was an athlete with a history of
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis with elevated levels of anti-thyroid peroxidase
antibodies. We discovered it much before receiving HPV vaccine.
I can tell you that she was a good athlete. Hashimoto’s did not stop her from
participating in the World Championship Karate in Caorle twice. In 2010, she won
the brown belt. Chiara’s other hobbies included painting, singing and practicing
sports. That was before Gardasil.

"...Matt went
on to tell me that Zara had a doctor’s appointment the day before, just her
normal well baby visit and had received her scheduled 15 month
immunizations. The next morning she was found dead in her crib. It was
unimaginable, unthinkable and heart-wrenching. I couldn’t even fathom it. Of
course I sent everything that I had to them right away. ..."
"...My usual workflow includes documenting all sessions on my blog and I
really wanted to do whatever honored and helped this family in any way. I
wanted Zara’s memory to live on, I wanted everyone to know what a beautiful,
vibrant, loved, and full of life little girl Zara was. I knew I needed to
talk to Carla, and I finally had a one on one conversation with her over the
phone. She told the story of holding Zara on her lap after her doctor’s
appointment as she experienced symptoms so many parents see after
immunizations. Sweet little Zara had a fever and was a bit fussy. Carla
checked her injection sites and noticed nothing odd or off, and so held her
as she looked through the images that I had sent her, we texted back and
forth about her images. She put her to bed as she normally does and the
family settled in for the night. Little did they know that life would never
be the same for them. When they awoke in the morning, they awoke to every
parent’s worst nightmare, Zara had passed away during the night.
I have served as our hospital’s bereavement coordinator for the past 9
years, but at the time we spoke, I felt I needed to just listen, to just let
her tell her story and there would be time to share that later. It was later
that I shared my role in the bereavement community, and we once again both
felt it was much more than coincidence that brought us together.
As Carla talked I could hear the agony in her voice, the questions she so
desperately needed answered. She clung to the hope that Zara’s autopsy would
shed light on the cause of her death. She expressed her greatest fear being
that they would rule it SUDC (Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood). We
decided to wait until autopsy results were obtained before sharing her story
on my blog, so that we could link my post to whatever organization they
wanted to donate to. She wondered how a healthy, happy baby girl could pass
away less than 24 hours of receiving vaccinations without there being some
sort of link or underlying health condition...."

Anne L. Clear
shares with us her son Jordan Jay Brunner.
Sweet Jordan was born on 04/13/2009. He passed away on 06/21/2009 (Father's
Day), less than 3 days after given the 2 month shots while he had a higher
than normal temperature.
The 2 month shots in 2009 are the same as today, they give vaccines for 8
diseases DTaP, Hib, Hep B, Polio, Pneumococcal and the oral Rotavirus
vaccine.
The vaccines he was given less than 3 days before he died were not even
listed on his autopsy report.
There was no vaccine injury claim filed with the National Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program. Nothing was ever reported to VAERS either by Jordan's
pediatrician and nothing was reported by the mother because Jordan's cause
of death was ruled SIDS.
The doctor nor medical examiner or anyone who could've spoken up, ever
informed Anne that her sons most plausible cause of death was the vaccines.
She had to do her own research.
Look up all of the vaccine package inserts, learn what was injected into
this baby during that well baby checkup that left him lifeless.
It's hard to believe any of these babies survive these shots.
We know of NO adult that has been given the vaccines tiny infants are being
given these days. Not one.
We honor his life and many others up there with him. RIP Jordan, you will be
remembered. Thank you for working hard to raise awareness down here.

From My friend Annie
Hunter:
Two years ago today Adaline was admitted to the hospital and we didn't yet know
what was going on. Two months later, we were in the hospital again and that time
it was even worse and we finally knew why. I took the time to lay out the photos
next to each other to show how much vaccines affected my baby. And the unknown
today on why my kid has CP. I can tell you why.
My happy healthy baby was given shots to protect her. And it did not work. No
one warned me this was a possible outcome. No one warned me how common it was.
No one told me i had the right to say "Not today" to vaccines. Just know, you DO
have that right. Educate yourself before you vaccinate. Vaccines are not for
everyone. I learned that the hard way. Don't make the same mistake I did.
This is my friend Denise Ellenwood's son after his 6 month vaccines.
This is my friend's child 7 days after the DTaP vaccine. Mom was concerned
about vaccines, so was doing them one at a time. She did not connect the vaccine
to the rash or the 3 month cough that followed.
She went to 3 different doctors who could not tell her what the rash was. One
pulmonary doctor misdiagnosed asthma.
Believing the doctors, she took the child in 6 months later for the booster and
the same thing happened. This time it was followed by a 4 month cough that was
diagnosed as the RSV virus in the ER.
Her child now has eczema and is on a special diet to help with skin issues. Her
doctor agrees no more vaccines!!
http://www.ansa.it/
(ANSA) - Rome, July 2 - Italian authorities have launched an investigation after
a two-month-old baby died following a mandatory vaccination in a Sicilian
hospital.
The baby died on June 29 after having been administered the vaccine in the Maria
Paternò Arezzo hospital in Ragusa, southern Sicily.
Police have ordered an autopsy following a report by the child's parents, which
is due to be carried out on Thursday.
Investigations are "aimed at establishing with certainty the causes of death of
the infant, with the goal of shedding light on any responsibility due to medical
negligence on the part of employees of the hospital," prosecutors said in a
statement.

Noah's story by Lisa

Just told Noah's story AGAIN. For those whose lives have not been affected by
vaccine injury, please give me this one self-indulgent moment.
You really have no idea what life is like. You...you really don't. Not because
you are unkind, or unsympathetic. Because, this issue has not touched you. You
have no idea how hard it is to not fall into despair.
What if we had decided to do something else September 13, 2007? What if one of
us had gotten sick, or we just didn't feel like going to the doctor and made
other plans? Why didn't we get into a car accident, or have to help a friend
with an emergency? Why didn't a pipe burst? I was six months pregnant and so
tired from planning the interior of our "dream home". So, for the first time,
Dave took Noah for his well baby visit. Dave held him down for four jabs.

The "Baby's First Years" book stops forever that day.
September 13, 2007. I cannot even look at it. For awhile, I pretended milestones
were met so that he would have something to reflect on. After all, he was just
delayed. Developmentally delayed. That's benign. He'll catch up. We were told 7
times that he would catch up. He had "toddler diarrhea" for SIX YEARS. He didn't
speak because...well..his older sib was a girl right? They like to talk for
their brothers.
What would life be like if we did not keep pushing and investigating and working
and fighting for appropriate diagnostics? Why should any parent have to police
the system that harmed their child to ensure they properly CARE FOR THAT CHILD?
Hundreds of thousands of dollars. 7 years later. Noah has the soul of an angel.
The face of a child model. The physique of a budding football star. The social
skills of a 24 month old. The anxiety and stress of a war veteran. The central
nervous system of an Alzheimer patient. The immune compromise of a cancer
patient. Food and environmental sensitivities that defy comparison.
Is he honored for trying his best to be a part of a world that repeatedly tells
him HE DOES NOT EXIST?! He is made up. The illusion of "goofy, celebrity
following" parents. Rare. So uncommon he could not possibly be studied (except
uhmmm...he is 1 in 50 by skewed CDC standards, 1 in 21 by actual academician
statistician standards). But so very rare and unheard of. Maybe...not real? Yes,
that sounds right. Not real.
Is he hailed as the hero he is for getting up everyday and trying desperately to
overcome his societal "deficits" which are the result of an assault?
Assault by a pharmaceutical megalith that cannot ever be held responsible for
the damage they've caused...because...FOR THEM...and for them ONLY...killing and
maiming children is 100% PERFECTLY LEGAL.
As was everything Hitler accomplished during his reign. 100% LEGAL.
I have told our story to geneticists, doctors, educators, bus drivers,
journalists, TV producers, family members, countless crowds of strangers.
Friends. It never gets easier. What if we had done something else that day? What
if I had listened to that perfect stranger getting coffee in Princeton who
walked up to me, pointed at my protruding belly and told me not to vaccinate.
That was 2005! Beautiful professional woman. My thought? "College town...whhhhaaaaaaackkadoo
With the prayer...my friend...that it will not happen...to you.

Trent Micheal . . . shared by his mother on September 6, 2014
http://
My name is Christa. I am 24 yrs old. I had a son on March 29, 2012. He was
perfect! He looked just like me and hardly ever cried or fussed. Wonderfully
healthy but preemie(he was born at 35weeks 3days gestation because I had severe
preeclampsia) He spent about 2 weeks in the NICU.On December 22 (His father and
I are together and it was his fathers birthday) I took him to the doctor for a
wellchild visit. They wanted to give him 7(I think) different vaccines in 4
needles. I had missed an appointment so I believe that his doctor office was
trying to catch him up, but that's just my personal opinion. I tried to refuse
and suggested we break the shots up. His nurse practitioner said she could not
do that and proceeded to insinuate that I was a bad mother so I allowed the
shots. I feel so much guilt because I broke down and allowed the shots. I should
have picked my son up, said "have a nice day" and walked out. Hindsight is 20/20
though. They did say Trent was perfectly healthy. I went to stay with a friend
at the hospital that night, she had gotten in a car accident and had broken her
back and several ribs. She had no family living in the area, so my mom kept
Trent for me. I received a call from my mom that Trent had been taken to the
hospital because he had stopped breathing and my grandparents were coming to get
me. I arrived before the ambulance because the other hospital was so close. When
the ambulance did arrive, they had my precious 8month old baby hooked up to so
many machines all I could do was cry! They told me they were unsuccessful at
getting a pulse but they needed my permission to stop trying to revive him. That
was absolutely the toughest heart-wrenching thing to say EVER! I had to say "yes
you can stop trying to save my little 8 month old baby boy" He passed away that
night 12hours after shots. Coincidence? I think not. I went to his doctors
office and all they said was "oh I'm so sorry" that didn't really help any. I
still cry just about every night when putting his younger sister to bed. My
father suffers from PTSD because his grandson passed away in his home and I am
in therapy. This has had a huge impact on all families involved. Thank you for
taking time to read this. ~ Christa

It's been 3,652 days. 522 weeks. 10 years. 1 decade since I held you in my arms

From a friend:
"This is my now nearly 18 year old daughter and pictures of her vaccine
reaction. This sickened her for a week and landed her a hospital admission for 3
days. Those welts spread out and up her trunk.
They turned white in the center and looked as though they may break open. The
rash was accompanied by a 104+ fever. She would not eat or drink which is
ultimately why we had to hospitalize her. During our ER visit, we were asked
permission to photograph her rash, which by then was far more atrocious than
these pictures depict, for medical textbooks.
They told us she may have the same lesions on her internal organs and that if
the lesions began breaking open she was in real trouble. We were admitted and
stayed for 3 days. I never attributed this to vaccination. It wasn't until I saw
the recent picture of another child floating around on FB with a similar rash
and confirmed DTaP reaction that I realized that's what had happened to her.
She had a DTaP the same week this happened. My son had different reactions and
ultimately he is the reason I stopped vaccinating. I feel so badly that I had no
idea. I feel compelled to post this so that maybe another recognizes what a
reaction looks like."
This is from a
friend:
"She was vaccinated, within hours explosive diarrhea (never had before) to
the point that we had to cut clothes off - 5 outfits of diarrhea through car
seat, through high chair, "tremors" stiffening of body and leg shakes night
one (hours after vaccines), rash developed, she stopped saying words.
The second photo is when it started, first photo is what they looked like
by day 2
Lost voice day 2 1/2, breathing trouble. Now she is "better" by most
standards
She ended up admitted to hospital a couple days after vaccines for inability
to breath properly.
We had her at pedi hours before because I though she wasn't breathing
correct. He said bronchitis and sent us home. When home I saw her gasping
for air and rushed her to ER. At ER she was admitted on the spot and given
help to breathe.
If I listened to pedi who said to take her home and let her rest, I shutter
to think.... We were home an hour and I said something is worse now....
Let's go to ER.
This happened a year and a bit ago. Her gut isn't right. Still she needs
high dose pro biotics everyday in order for her stool to pass
She got words back, but it took months and she now has what appears as
apraxia (her words at times are not understandable)
She also went from being a great walker, to now having balance issues to
this day.
It all happened immediately after vaccines.... No Dr would admit, not even
in hospital... All coincidence I was told.
I have a video of her talking two months before that vaccine and talking
clear with no jumbled words . Then videos after....difference is shocking.

Who would have ever thought a single injection of the HPV vaccine, Gardasil,
could bring my precious daughter to the brink of death? My daughters, Ashlie and
Lyndsie, were both injected with the Gardasil on the same day. Lyndsie had no
adverse reaction. Ashlie was not so lucky.
Ashlie has always been bigger than life. A girl who we know can handle anything.
At the age of 4, Ashlie decided she wanted to dance. She was shy and didn’t like
people staring at her, so we knew that this little endeavor would be short
lived. We could not have been more wrong. As Ashlie became older, we knew she
had found her passion and career in life. She was going to be a professional
dancer and she was on her way.
How could we have known one vaccine would change our lives and her life so
drastically?
In the middle of June 2009, Ashlie received her first and only Gardasil vaccine.
Ashlie’s older sister Lyndsie was also vaccinated with Gardasil on the same day
and had no adverse reaction. For that I am thankful.
However, approximately 16 days later Ashlie began to complain that her legs were
not working correctly. Looking back, I am not sure what I thought it was, but I
had her take some Tylenol. The next morning, I came downstairs and Ashlie was
lying on the couch watching TV. She told me that she had crawled from her room
and down the stairs to get to the couch. She informed me she could not walk. I
asked her to stand. She tried and fell to the floor.
She was quickly taken to our local ER. The doctor threw his hands in the air
saying he had no idea and it must be growing pains. She was given crutches and a
prescription for steroids. I took her home convinced the doctor was wrong, as I
am a mother of 5 daughters and had never witnessed growing pains like that.
Ashlie had been diagnosed with epilepsy when she was 10-years-old. I thought she
perhaps had had a new seizure I was not aware of, so I called her neurologist. I
was assured it was not a seizure, but to bring her to the ER (a different ER) in
the morning as they were very crowded and she would be seen faster in the
morning and we would get home quickly.
Later that night, I helped Ashlie in and out of the bathtub because she could no
longer walk. I went to hand her something and to my horror discovered that her
arms and hands were not working either. She literally could not pick up what I
was handing her.
After a few phone calls, I rushed Ashlie to an ER over an hour away, the same ER
we were to visit in the morning. I carried her in, and for a crowded ER on a
Saturday night, she was seen within 1 hour.
One of the phone calls I had made was to my dad. His friend is a doctor, who
told my dad that I needed to ask if it was “ascending paralysis”. While we were
with the doctor, I asked him if it was “ascending paralysis” and he said yes. It
appeared she had Guillain-Barre’ Syndrome (GBS).
I was asked if she had been sick and I informed them she had not. I could not
figure out how she got this.
She was kept in the ER until a room became available in the “step-down” unit or
intermediate ICU. At this point I still had no idea how serious this was. Once
she was admitted to the hospital and not an ER patient, they handed me a bunch
of literature on GBS. My answer to how she contracted GBS was in the first
sentence that I read, and it said that you can get GBS from a vaccine. She had
just had a vaccine, the Gardasil vaccine earlier that month.
Ashlie after one injection of Gardasil

As Ashlie lay in the hospital bed I watched her go from a vibrant young girl to
a shell of non-existence. She was unable to walk, she was unable to get up to
use the bathroom and as she couldn’t eat, an NG tube was placed in her nose so
they could feed her. She was given intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), in the
hope that this would stop the paralysis and start it descending.
She became delirious, and she began talking like a baby in her sleep. She was in
extreme pain and I had no idea what to do, or even still did not realize at this
point how serious GBS was.
Within 24 hours things went from bad to worse. Her respiratory system was
shutting down. The GBS was paralyzing her to the point that she could not
breathe.
She was rushed to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Within minutes of
being there she stopped breathing and they had to “bag” her. I could not believe
what I was seeing. My baby girl was dying before my very eyes.
She could no longer talk and would finger spell (sign language) to communicate.
They put her on a bi-pap machine to help her breathe and on July 1, 2009 Ashlie
was intubated. She could no longer breathe on her own to keep alive, a machine
had to do the work for her. Her heart was racing, ranging between 160-180 bpm.
It seemed as though her heart would come through her chest. For the next 2 1/2
weeks, I sat and watched as she continued to get worse.
Guillain-Barre Syndrome is most common in older people, not children. It was the
worst case the children’s hospital had seen in over 3 years. All treatments done
to “reverse” GBS are done on adults. The hospital had to take adult treatments
and alter them for a 12-year-old. She had more IVIG treatments done, she had
plasmapheresis, MRI’s, and nerve tests done. The damage done to her nerves was
horrific. The GBS not only destroyed her myelin, but it went into and began
destroying the axon.
"Life after losing a loved one to vaccines is very painful. With a heavy
heart, we share Sebastian Ryan Morley’s story. He was a healthy boy whose life
ended after routine vaccinations. Sebastian’s mother and grandmother have worked
many years in both the veterinary and human healthcare fields. What they were

vaccinate again. We thank his family for coming forward and sharing very
important information the public isn’t usually made aware of..."

From VacTruth:
"Robin Stavola is a mother who tragically lost her young daughter, Holly, to the
second MMR vaccine dose, which was a requirement for Holly to attend
kindergarten in New Jersey.
After Holly suffered a severe reaction to the vaccine, leaving her convulsing,
brain damaged and on life support, her family was told by the doctors that Holly
would remain in a vegetative state and would not recover. Holly’s parents felt
helpless and they reluctantly agreed to have their daughter removed from life
support.
Robin was awarded compensation for Holly’s death after it was determined the MMR
vaccine caused Holly to suffer acute encephalopathy.
After a long battle and without success, Robin fought to change the National
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. She learned most parents that file a
vaccine injury claim get denied compensation.
With support from the governor of New Jersey, Holly’s Law was created. This law
can save your child from receiving a potentially lethal second dose of the MMR
vaccine, required for some children to attend school, if no vaccine exemption
was filed on their behalf.
The second MMR vaccine dose, listed on the CDC recommended vaccine schedule, is
not actually a booster vaccine; it is recommended or mandated because Merck
states two to five percent of children don’t obtain levels of protection from
the first MMR dose and that all children should get a second dose, to cover
those who didn’t gain protection from the first one.
When Holly lay suffering for 65 hours in the two hospitals she was transferred
to, her pediatrician did not even show up to visit her. Pediatricians push the
vaccines but often don’t show up to the hospital to help care for your child
when they become vaccine-injured.
Even the hospital chaplain wasn’t sincere when Holly was fighting to survive.
Grieving family members are led to believe hospital chaplains are there to help
them grieve, but some of them are actually paid to help increase the number of
organ donations..."
In honor of Holly, her mother Robin shares,
“Holly Marie Stavola was born January 18, 1995. She was born on time and was
born a healthy baby, with no complications. We trusted the doctors giving her
vaccines and followed the schedule as recommended.
I wasn’t given any vaccine information sheets or information on how to recognize
a severe vaccine reaction. When it was time for Holly to receive her first MMR
vaccination at sixteen-months old, she was given the MMR and Hib vaccines during
that visit.
After she received the vaccines, she was back in the office with a fever,
lethargy, no appetite, crying more, ear pain, and a cough that lasted for seven
consecutive weeks.
She skipped three weeks where we didn’t go into the pediatrician’s office. We
returned one-and-a-half weeks later, when Holly had another fever and no
appetite.
We returned once again one-and-a-half weeks after that, due to a continued
fever.
Unbelievably, eleven days later after this stretch of pediatric SICK visits,
Holly’s doctor gave her an oral polio vaccine (OPV) and her fourth DTaP shot.
I was told Holly reacted normally to the previous shots and to continue
vaccinating. The doctor didn’t seem the least bit concerned and no doctor warned
me Holly shouldn’t get any more vaccines because she could suffer a more severe
reaction.
Up to this point, I trusted my pediatrician and had never heard of vaccine
reactions back in 1996. When this all occurred, we didn’t have the ability to
learn from other parents how much these reactions were really happening.
On January 18, 2000, Holly celebrated her fifth birthday.
On Tuesday, January 25, 2000, a week later, I took Holly in for her five-year
well checkup. At this pediatric visit, Holly received another oral polio vaccine
(OPV), which was no longer recommended as of January 2000, but she received it
anyway, along with the MMR, DTaP, and Mantoux TB test.
The Mantoux TB skin test is a screening tool for tuberculosis. It’s similar to
an allergy test. It seems like an allergy test, put an allergen underneath your
skin to see how you react but it’s done using an intradermal injection. I like
to mention this test because it shows how much they did to her, in the office
that day. My nine-year old son Tom received the Varicella (chicken pox)
[vaccine] that day as well.”
Holly Ended Up On Life Support
“We went home from the five-year well checkup and Holly started complaining of
arm pain, but all seemed fine to me, as I was unaware of the Vaccine Information
Statements and told not to worry. I didn’t know that vaccine adverse reactions
even existed in children. I was only led to believe they were safe.
On Sunday, January 30, 2000, five days after the vaccines were given to her, she
was outside sledding in the snow, shortly before the adverse reaction manifested
itself.
Holly complained of arm pain for the whole week following that visit, I was told
that this was normal. This led up to the horrible nightmare we all lived
through, which occurred seven days after her checkup.
On Tuesday, February 1, 2000, seven days after she was vaccinated with the
second MMR, Holly had a 104 degree fever, ear pain and a sore throat.
We went into the pediatrician’s office only to be given an antibiotic, with no
mention of her MMR, OPV, fifth DTaP and the Mantoux TB test that she received
seven days prior. The doctor also didn’t consider Holly’s reaction to the first
MMR.
Holly and I went to pick up the Suprax® (cefixime) antibiotic at the local ACME
store and I gave her the first dose.
By noontime, Holly was taking a two hour nap. Holly didn’t take naps anymore,
but I assumed it was because she wasn’t feeling well. The pediatrician didn’t
think anything unusual, other than an infection, so therefore, I didn’t think
anything was serious. Well, that all changed.
As I was sitting on the bed with Holly as she was sleeping, she had fallen back
asleep at 6:00 pm, and awoke at 8:00 pm. She woke up having a grand mal seizure
and a temperature of 107 degrees. Her eyes rolled back and she foamed from the
mouth.
From this point onward, it was a calamity of errors, starting with the 911
operator who was unpleasant; the volunteer EMS worker initially wasn’t able to
find our house and then Holly was taken to a hospital incapable of properly
caring for her.
We were screaming for help; they did a spinal tap to check for meningitis, and
with increasing brain inflammation this should not have been done. She was
shivering because hypothermia set in due to them trying to cool down her 107/108
fever.
Then Holly was rushed to another hospital that was also incapable of caring for
her. My daughter was naked, vomiting, could barely speak (ataxia), and had tears
in her eyes. Holly’s last words in the ambulance were, “Mommy, help.”
She was at two local Monmouth County hospitals that were clueless and incapable
of caring for a child with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, which is what
Holly had, until I, the mother, had to alert them to the fact that she had
vaccinations the week prior.
At the second hospital, I asked the neurologist 18 hours in if Holly was on pain
medicine and then I overheard him ask the nurse why Holly was not given pain
medicine and to start her on Fentanyl. Fentanyl is an opioid medication,
sometimes called a narcotic.
After hours of grand mal seizures, fever as high as 107/108 degrees, lots of
blood work, plasmapheresis, and drilling through her forehead in an attempt to
release intracranial pressure and physically put through hell, we were told she
would never return to her normal self and would never wake up, she would be a
vegetable and not breathe for herself, ever.
I was saying the rosary nonstop for 65 hours and didn’t sleep or eat.
Unbearably, we removed her from life support at the suggestion of the doctors.
On February 4, 2000, Holly Stavola, a daughter and sibling, died tragically and
unnecessarily from acute encephalopathy, due to her second MMR vaccination. The
hospital and her pediatrician finally concluded this diagnosis.”
Holly’s Vaccine Reaction and Death Was Reported To VAERS
“We had no idea Holly’s vaccine reaction was so severe and life threatening
until five hours after the initial seizure. When Holly suffered this adverse
reaction to the second MMR, that is when we realized it was the vaccinations
being the culprit.
Even in the hospital, it was me who brought up the fact that Holly was recently
vaccinated and she was not sick when she received the vaccines, she only became
sick afterwards.
We felt deceived and completely let down by Holly’s pediatric group in New
Jersey. They failed us in so many ways. Holly suffered 65 hours before becoming
brain dead and having to be removed from life support.
Holly’s pediatrician, who saw her for her five-year well checkup the week prior
and that morning before she was admitted to the hospital, did not show up at all
during Holly’s 65-hour painful and horrible ordeal at the two hospitals, nor did
any other pediatrician that worked in the same group.
Holly’s pediatrician and their office also failed us immensely by not informing
us of the risks associated with vaccines and not attributing her symptoms to a
possible reaction the day it began.
I had found out from a very prominent pediatrician that Holly could have been
saved if things were handled differently by the medical personnel, from the
pediatrician to the hospital staff.
After Holly’s death, we had the bottle of Suprax® (cefixime) tested at a
laboratory and it was found the Cefixime was of approved quality and approximate
in quantity.
Holly’s pediatrician did report her reaction to the Vaccine Adverse Event
Reporting System (VAERS).” [1]
"I Didn’t Know Vaccines Could Cause So Much Harm"
“When our daughter became severely sick, we, the EMS and the hospital medical
people were unable to figure out what was happening, until I finally brought up
the vaccinations at the hospital.
It did not occur to me that a vaccination could cause such a reaction as I was
not informed of the risks. Before every vaccination, the doctor or nurse should
provide you with a VIS for each vaccination your child will be receiving.
Federal law states that you are to receive these related sheets to help make an
informed decision.
Download and review the Vaccine Information Statements (VIS) which are available
from the Center for Disease Control’s website. [2]
These papers will give you a summary of details about each disease and
vaccination on the CDC recommended schedule. These VIS sheets are also at your
disposal in the doctor’s office.
However, better than these sheets are the actual vaccine package inserts for
each vaccine; take a look at the adverse reactions. You need to become
knowledgeable and informed, before making your decision to vaccinate.” [3]
Robin Was Asked To Donate Holly’s Organs
When Holly was on life support, hooked up to a ventilator and clinically
declared brain dead, her mother Robin was approached by the chaplain, who asked
her to donate Holly’s organs.
The chaplain at the hospital seemed so very caring and nice to Robin until she
said no to donating Holly’s organs. Robin found that very strange and was left
to feel the hospital lost out on a business deal.
Most parents are unaware that some chaplains are involved in the organ trade
business. To increase consent for organ donations, some chaplains are being
hired by hospitals to help get parents and next of kin to donate their loved
ones’ organs.
Using a professionally trained chaplain in a hospital setting to approach the
issue of organ donation has proven successful in getting more people to say yes
to donating organs. [4]
Robin stated,
“In our situation, it was very disappointing, one more person, the chaplain, was
not sincere during our nightmare. The chaplain is the last person one would
expect to not be sincere.
Our family admires any grieving person who donates their loved ones’ organs, and
we do not want to be judged for this immediate and difficult decision we had to
make at that time.”
Parents are speaking up and advising others that when their vaccine-injured
child ended up on life support, a doctor declared their child “brain dead,” so
they had grounds to ask them to donate their child’s organs, only later to find
out on the autopsy report that the child was not really brain dead and likely
could’ve survived.
However, in Holly’s case, the grand mal seizures and severe case of acute
encephalopathy did leave Holly “brain dead.” Although to this day, Robin wishes
that she was given 48 hours to think about the decision to remove Holly from
life support and wonders, to this day, if she should have kept her daughter on
life support, in the hopes of a miracle.
Holly’s Blood Samples Were Discarded Without Permission
Robin wrote,
“I knew after Holly’s death, we needed to get an autopsy, which we did. We asked
the hospital to ‘preserve blood samples’ and wrote this on the signed autopsy
form by us.
We also asked and put it in writing that they not shave her head, how horrible
to have to put this in writing and put our dead daughter’s body through an
autopsy, but we wanted to make sure every stone was unturned.
Unbelievably, the pathologist ‘forgot to save any blood samples’ and there was
nothing we could do about it.”
Holly’s Symptoms Were Caused by Vaccination
“The doctors eliminated all possible infectious, bacterial and viral diseases;
all her symptoms were due to the MMR vaccination.
Before the last round of vaccines Holly received, she was a completely healthy,
bright, kind and beautiful five year-old child. The day she received her
vaccinations at her five-year well checkup, HOLLY WAS NOT SICK!!
Pediatricians will attempt to downplay Holly’s reaction by asserting that this
tragedy happened because she was sick. This could not be further from the truth;
she was an extremely healthy child, and not immunocompromised in any way.
Encephalopathy is a vaccine table injury on the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services HRSA division. It can occur between 5-15 days after the vaccine
is given, as stated on the table of injuries.” [5]
Holly’s Family Won Their Vaccine Injury Case When Most Are Denied
“Roughly only one-quarter of vaccine injury claim petitioners get awarded
compensation, while about three-quarters get denied. Eighty percent or more of
the compensated awarded claims are based on negotiated settlements where the
court will not conclude, based upon review of the evidence, that the alleged
vaccine(s) caused the alleged injury. [6]
The government states that compensation awarded for the majority of those
injured/deceased does not necessarily mean they are agreeing their injury was
caused by a vaccine.
Because of this unfair reality, we did not want to file a vaccine injury claim,
because we did not want to accept the compensation without placing fault on
someone. We wanted accountability.
After one-and-a-half-years, we decided to file a claim with the National Vaccine
Injury Compensation Program (NVICP). [7]
The deadline to file was two years after Holly passed and we decided if we won,
we would use the money to do something in her honor and to help save others from
going through this. We had an attorney who handled the whole process with the
NVICP.
We did not want to accept any money without responsibility that the vaccine
caused this; once we filed, we took the whole two-year time period before
accepting the blood money. The federal government conceded that Holly’s death
was compensable due to the MMR vaccine.
We were compensated by the United States Court of Federal Claims, after filing a
vaccine injury claim. They conceded that Holly’s death was a result of the MMR.”
“I Needed Something Good To Come Out Of Holly’s Suffering”
“When I learned about the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and was
told I must file a claim, to receive any compensation, I was shocked and felt
deceived how the vaccine program was set up to fail parents.
According to the Health Resources Services Administration, approximately 74
percent of vaccine injury claims/deaths are denied. I desperately wanted the
opportunity to make a difference, to help parents, and to make it known that
Holly’s death was vaccine related and that the system has many flaws.
In September of 2004, I was nominated by the Department of Justice/Vaccine
Litigation Unit to serve as a General Public Member: Parent of a Vaccine-Injured
Child representative on the Advisory Commission on Childhood Vaccines.
I needed to then apply with my resume to receive this position, which I did, and
was ultimately accepted onto the Commission.
The Advisory Commission on Childhood Vaccines (ACCV) is made up of nine voting
members, most of whom are pro-vaccine and working for what is in the best
interest of the government. [8]
At the ACCV meetings, members get together to discuss the vaccine injury
program, to offer advice and give recommendations to the Secretary of Health and
Human Services, to make changes to the existing rules.
I was excited to make a difference. I served for two years following Holly’s
death, attending meetings and giving suggestions, as a parent of a
vaccine-injured child.
The meetings were held in Rockland, Maryland, at the United States Department of
Health offices. It was hard because I had to leave my family to attend the
meetings and it became futile, frustrating and apparent, that I could not make
an impact, to change the current and unjust vaccine program.”
Holly’s Family Formed “The Hope from Holly Foundation” To Help Other New Jersey
Children In Need
“We wanted to help others in Holly's memory, so right after Holly's death, we
formed the non-profit NJ organization, The Hope from Holly Foundation.
The purpose was to help NJ families who were financially struggling and whose
children were seriously ill and/or had overwhelming medical needs.
We raised a significant amount of money, over $550,000, in three years. However,
we decided to dissolve the organization because Holly’s Law was a huge
commitment of time for our family.”
Holly’s Mother Continued To Fight And Helped Pass Holly’s Law
“The legislative process did work in our favor on January 14, 2004, and we
passed HOLLY’S LAW in New Jersey, IN MEMORY OF OUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER, HOLLY
STAVOLA. However, the process was both arduous and stressful, given Merck, the
AAP, the NJ Academy of Family Physicians, and various other doctors fought
against our proposed bill.
New Jersey’s Holly's Law promotes the antibody blood titer test most parents
don’t know exists. Through God’s grace, and the support of many friends and
family, Holly’s Law passed unanimously in both houses in New Jersey. [9]
If you or anyone you know is getting ready for school with vaccinations, take
advantage of Holly’s Law, which gives parents a choice before allowing their
child to receive the second scheduled MMR vaccine.
Unfortunately, pediatricians fail to inform parents this option exists, due to
the fact they are unaware of the dangers of vaccines, not liable if anything
happens adversely to your child, financially incentivized to give more shots and
are unwilling to agree that there are adverse reactions. So, for these reasons,
they do not provide you with an objective opinion and may intentionally not want
you to know about Holly’s Law.
Different states may have a similar law in place; do your research and check
with your local Health Department before having your child receive the second
MMR vaccine.”
About the Antibody Titer Law (Holly’s Law)
The New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services explains this about the
MMR vaccine and the titer test available for parents to decide if they want to
consent to their child receiving a second MMR vaccine: [10]
“The Antibody Titer Law (Holly’s Law) (NJSA 26:2N-8-11), passed on January 14,
2004, concerns vaccination of children with the Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)
vaccine. The law allows parents to seek testing to determine a child’s immunity
to measles, mumps, and rubella, before receiving the second dose of the
vaccine.”
“Written laboratory proof of immunity exempts a child from the 2nd dose of MMR
vaccine.”
“According to the national Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP),
children should receive two doses of the vaccine because about 2%-5% of people
do not develop immunity after the first dose of vaccine.”
The first dose is usually given at 12-15 months of age and the second dose is
usually given at 4-6 years of age. The second dose is not a “booster”; it is
intended to produce immunity in the people who did not respond to the first
dose.”
Holly’s Law Can Save Your Child
Holly’s older brother, Thomas Stavola, Jr., was nine years old when his younger
sister Holly passed away from the MMR vaccine. Tom began researching vaccines
and now is an outspoken advocate for vaccine choice. The loss of his close
sister is still very painful to deal with. He reminds people to learn about
Holly’s Law and utilize this option if available.
In memory of his sister, Thomas shared,
“Although we know that vaccine-induced antibodies do not provide true immunity
(one can only achieve long-term immunity from the natural acquisition of a
disease, thereby stimulating the innate, cell-mediated immune function), Holly's
Law allows parents to substitute a harmless antibody test for an ineffective,
dangerous, potentially deadly MMR vaccine.
Sufficient antibody levels are the standard by which the medical community tests
vaccines for efficacy, and thus showing sufficient antibody levels with Holly's
Law will demonstrate that the person has immunity (even though the latest
science states that antibodies are only part of the equation).
Holly's Law has and will continue to save countless lives, in addition to
protecting people from possible adverse events.
Vaccine-induced herd immunity is an unproven hypothesis that is thoroughly
debunked in the medical literature through observation of disease outbreaks in
95-100% of vaccinated populations.
Clearly, if outbreaks are occurring in completely vaccinated areas, the
vaccine(s) are not effective in providing protection. Thus, it follows that
vaccinated individuals do pose a risk to the immunocompromised; in fact, more so
than unvaccinated people, due in part to the possibility of viral shedding (for
several weeks to months) post-live vaccination.
The assertion that unvaccinated people are magnets for illness couldn’t be
further from the truth. We all carry germs; vaccination does not make people
“sterile” or disease-free. On the contrary, it severely burdens the primary
defense mechanism (immune system), thereby increasing the probability for
illness in those individuals.
All of the aforementioned statements are confirmed in the peer-reviewed medical
literature; one only needs to search if one wishes to uncover the truth.”
MMR Vaccine Associated With Neurological Adverse Reactions
Holly’s mother shared,
“Vaccine advocates like to say Holly’s reaction was ‘one in a million.’ The
truth is, 1 out of 168 children end up in the ER after vaccination.
Holly’s reaction was not an allergic reaction. The MMR vaccine information
statement states, "serious allergic reaction occurs in (less than 1 out of a
million doses)," however, it does state, "seizure (jerking or staring) caused by
fever occurs in (about 1 out of 3,000 doses).”
Vaccine advocates also like to say that even though we were compensated, it
doesn’t mean anything. The federal government conceded that Holly’s death was
compensable due to a vaccine. The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) has
paid out more than $3.18 billion to date. [11]
The doctors eliminated all possible infectious, bacterial and viral infections
that could have been causing Holly’s symptoms. How many coincidences can occur
before there are no longer coincidences? There are three requirements of
causality and Holly passed all three.
If you don’t think your child will end up like Holly, I never did, either. She
was perfect and our choice to have her vaccinated, based on what we knew, took
her away from us.
It’s also worth mentioning, New Jersey has one of the highest rates of autism
compared to other states in the U.S. Many parents know the MMR vaccine
contributed to their child becoming autistic; this is another reason parents may
want to utilize Holly’s Law. [12]
Take a look at the MMR package insert from Merck. Scroll to the adverse
reactions section, starting on page 6. Page 7 highlights encephalopathy, which
is one of the potential reactions of the MMR.” [13]
Losing a Sibling To Vaccines Is Unimaginable, Too
More than ever, siblings are speaking up against vaccines. Parents aren’t the
only ones who feel a part of themselves was lost; siblings feel a tremendous
loss, too. When you vaccinate your children, other existing or future children
may not get to watch their brother or sister grow. It is really difficult for
them to go on and many are speaking up about the harm vaccines cause.
Tom Stavola, Holly’s older brother, was only nine years old when Holly died. He
advocates for vaccine choice and reminds people to learn about Holly’s Law.
Holly’s younger sister, whom she never got to meet, made this video for her.
Just two days before Holly lay in a hospital bed while suffering acute
encephalopathy, brought on by the MMR vaccine, she is seen riding a sled in the
snow, while spending time with her family.
This video holds some precious memories of Holly’s short life.
Hope From Holly
“Currently in our country, the unvaccinated are being labeled, marginalized,
demonized, and ‘fired’ from pediatrician’s offices. We left the pediatric group
in New Jersey who failed to show up for Holly and went with a doctor who spoke
to me on the phone for hours, expressing his sorrow, and desire to conduct a
séance for Holly.
Considering we were grieving, vulnerable and desperate parents at the time, we
accepted his offer. We went through the awkward séance where he ripped his shirt
open and claimed to have heard from Holly.
We then had a few office visits with my then nine year-old son; he prescribed a
very expensive asthma treatment. I questioned a very high charge on the asthma
treatment, to which this ‘wonderfully caring’ doctor responded, by telling us to
leave his office.
Following this disaster, I found a caring woman pediatrician whom we have
remained with for the past 15 years.
To give Holly and others a voice, by raising needed awareness, we created this
page to help provide NJ Physicians and parents with more knowledge about
childhood vaccines, immunity and the MMR vaccine.” [14]
Conclusion
We leave you with words from Robin:
“My family and I hope that Holly’s story will make a difference and help you
realize that you must be aware of the risks of vaccinations, just as you make
yourself aware of the risks of any medical procedure.
We hope to make change, and one very important improvement must be that the
pediatricians acknowledge that there are vaccine reactions, that moderate to
serious and even fatal vaccine reactions do exist and occur at least 100 times
more than is reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
We are still very disappointed and disgusted with the actions (or lack thereof)
of all involved concerning our daughter Holly’s death. We are also both very
upset and angry with the continued injustice and fallacies promulgated regarding
vaccinations.
We lost faith in the medical and legal system from this experience.
Holly’s suffering was painful to watch, but at least now we know there have been
lessons learned from Holly’s story. Her death was not in vain; sometimes it
takes a tragedy to shed light on an important issue.
If you or anyone you know is getting ready for school with vaccinations, take
advantage of New Jersey’s Holly's Law, the antibody blood titer test passed in
2004, and named for our daughter Holly, who died from the MMR vaccine in the
year 2000.
I would love to hear from the parents that utilize the antibody blood titer
test. I would be interested to know if the child’s physician provided the
information.
Thank you to the VacTruth team and everyone involved in writing our story. Thank
you for caring about the vaccine-injured, what happened to them and how their
stories can help others. We appreciate the time all of you have devoted to this
extremely important and worthy cause.
We have our faith that comforts us with the knowledge of Heaven and eternal
life, but we will always be saddened that she never got to grow up and fulfill
her dreams and wishes. We are also comforted by many people that have helped us
get through this tragedy.
May God bless you and your families; thank you for taking the time to read about
our dear Holly who suffered needlessly and did not have a peaceful death. Thank
God we are strong believers regarding the beautification and that Holly is in
the presence of God, where we will be united again someday.
Finally, our Christian faith compels us to forgive all those who failed Holly
from the perspective that Jesus would want us to forgive others if we are to
receive His forgiveness.
Please help fight against unnecessary vaccine mandates in New Jersey and
elsewhere, considering the parent is the one who will carry the burden if
something goes wrong, like we do.”
God Bless,
Robin Stavola
In Loving Memory of Holly Marie Stavola
January 18, 1995 – February 4, 2000
She died from acute encephalitis caused by the MMR vaccine.

"My daughter Lyla Rose Belkin died on September 16, 1998 at the age of five
weeks, shortly after receiving a Hepatitis B vaccine booster shot. The following
comments are intended to be a heads up to parents and potential parents about
the risks of the Hepatitis B vaccine (HBV), and a firsthand report questioning
the scientific legitimacy of the vaccine industry, which provides $800 million
of annual revenue to Merck – the company which makes the Hepatitis B vaccine
distributed in the US.
Lyla Rose Belkin was a lively, alert five-week-old baby when I last held her in
my arms. Little did I imagine as she gazed intently into my eyes with all the
innocence and wonder of a newborn child that she would die that night. She was
never ill before receiving the Hepatitis B shot that afternoon. At her final
feeding that night, she was agitated and feisty -- and then fell asleep and
didn’t wake up.
The autopsy ruled out choking. A swollen brain was the only abnormal finding.
Most doctors I spoke to at the time said it must have been Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome (SIDS), a catch-all diagnosis for unexplainable childhood mortality.
The first instinctive reaction in such a situation is for parents to blame
themselves. For many weeks, my wife and I agonized over what we might have
missed or could have done differently. Meanwhile, the logical part of my brain
kept returning to the obvious medical event that preceded Lyla’s death -- and
that internal voice kept asking the question could the Hepatitis B Vaccine that
Lyla received that afternoon have killed her?
Most doctors I asked scoffed at that notion and said the vaccine was perfectly
safe. But I began to search around on the Internet and Medline and discovered
disturbing evidence of adverse reactions to this vaccine.
In the US, the Hepatitis B disease mainly infects intravenous drug users,
homosexuals, prostitutes and promiscuous heterosexuals. The disease is
transmitted by blood, through sex or dirty needles. How could a newborn baby
possibly get Hepatitis B if the mother was screened and tested negative, as my
wife was? It is almost impossible. Unless a newborn child is having unprotected
sex or sharing needles with an infected junkie, it is extremely unlikely to get
the Hepatitis B disease.
So then why are most US babies inoculated at birth by their Hospital or
Pediatrician with the Hepatitis B vaccine? That is a question every parent
should ask before getting this vaccination. I’ve discovered the answer is -- an
unrestrained health bureaucracy decided it couldn’t get junkies, gays,
prostitutes and promiscuous heterosexuals to take the Hepatitis B vaccine -- so
they mandated that all babies must be vaccinated at birth. Drug companies such
as Merck (reaching for new markets) were instrumental in pushing government
scientists to adopt an at-birth Hepatitis B vaccination policy, although the
vaccine was never tested in newborns and no vaccines had ever been mandated at
birth before. It is widely recognized that newborns have under-developed immune
systems, which can be overwhelmed or shocked.
My search for answers about a link between the Hepatitis B vaccine and my
daughter’s death led me to a Hepatitis B vaccine workshop on October 26th at the
National Academy of Sciences (NAS), Institute of Medicine entitled Vaccine
Safety Forum -- Neonatal Deaths. The NAS was concerned enough about reports of
Hepatitis B vaccine-related infant deaths and adverse reactions to hold a
special workshop on the subject. Doctors and scientists flew in from all over
the US and Europe to attend. I sat in the back and soaked it all up. It was a
real eye-opener. There were basically four constituencies represented: 1)
Serious scientists observing or presenting research studies. 2) Center for
Disease Control (CDC) pseudo-statisticians and FDA officials. 3) Merck and other
corporate drug officials and 4) Parents of vaccine-related dead or severely
injured children.
The presentations included a study of Animal Models of Newborn Response to
Antigen Presentation, which showed that newborn immune systems were undeveloped
and strikingly different than those of adults. The message I received was that
immune response in a newborn to shocks such as being injected with a vaccine was
potentially unknown, since newborn T-Cells have a radically different behavior
then those of adults. Another presentation was Strategies for Evaluating the
Biologic Mechanisms of Hepatitis B Vaccine Reactions, in which vaccine
researcher Dr. Bonnie Dunbar of Baylor College related numerous Hepatitis B
vaccine related cases of nervous system damage in adults, such as Multiple
Sclerosis, seizures and blindness. On the more positive side, the FDA presented
a seemingly reassuring study from its Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System
(VAERS), which showed only 19 neonatal deaths reported since 1991 related to
Hepatitis B vaccination.
I found the VAERS study data to be completely deceptive. Since I was sitting in
that room and my daughter had died during their sample period and wasn’t counted
-- I wondered why. In fact, the New York City Coroner called VAERS to report my
daughter’s Hepatitis B vaccine related infant death and no one ever returned
their call! What kind of reporting system doesn’t return the calls of the NY
City Medical Examiner -- and how many other reports were ignored? This is
supposed to be the emergency 911 number for disasters such as bad lots of
vaccine that could poison thousands of other babies. With the personal knowledge
that the VAERS data was completely flawed, I sat in that room and listened in
amazement as CDC officials and Merck’s head of vaccine safety made disparaging
comments about any possible risk from Hepatitis B vaccination, despite the
evidence just presented by impartial scientists.
I studied statistics and econometrics at UC Berkeley and have developed
innovative methods of applying probability to financial and economic data in my
consulting business with some of the largest financial institutions in the
world. That training and experience qualifies me to criticize the statistical
legitimacy of the VAERS study, on which Merck and the CDC pseudo-scientists
based their pro-vaccination stance. Their comments were scathingly dismissive of
any possible risk from the vaccine.
But that VAERS study is not a legitimate sample of a data set from which any
conclusions about the larger population can be made. VAERS doesn’t return
coroner’s calls, leading to the suspicion that deaths and adverse effects from
vaccination are woefully under-reported. To conclude that the Hepatitis B
vaccine is safe because VAERS only reports 19 deaths is scientific fraud.
In fact, I obtained the raw data from the VAERS system and found 54 reported
SIDS cases after Hepatitis B vaccination in just the 18 months from January 1996
-- May 1997. That’s almost 15 times as many deaths per year as their own flawed
study reported. There are 17,000 reports of adverse reactions to Hepatitis B
vaccine in the 1996-97 raw data. Clearly something is fishy about VAERS.
VAERS was set up by the FDA and CDC. If there are 17,000 reports and VAERS
doesn’t even return the NY Medical Examiner’s call, how many other deaths and
injuries go unreported?
I came away from that NAS workshop with the distinct impression that Merck and
the CDC didn’t know and didn’t really want to know how many babies are being
killed or injured by Hepatitis B vaccination. This is a bureaucratic vaccination
program that is on auto-pilot flying into a mountain.
The CDC bureaucrats have a vested interest in the status quo. If there were
17,000 reports of a dangerous disease in an 18-month period, the CDC would be
all over the case. But when there are 17,000 reports of adverse reactions to a
vaccine the CDC advocates for "public health" -- the CDC dismisses it as a
coincidence. Merck makes $50 a shot from the three-shot series and has sales of
upwards of $800 million a year from vaccines.
Vaccination can be a lifesaver if an epidemic is raging, but in this case the
risk of vaccination outweighs the risk of infants getting the disease. Surely,
the hepatitis B vaccine doesn’t injure every child that gets it, but in some
unknown number of cases, it appears to be a death sentence and/or a nervous
system toxin to innocent children who are at no risk of getting the disease the
vaccine is supposed to protect against.
My observations of Merck and CDC scientists at the Vaccine Safety Forum left me
with the distinct impression that they had absolutely no idea which babies might
be killed or injured by this vaccine. Furthermore, they used obviously flawed
scientific data to arrogantly steamroller any opposition to their power.
Parents should be aware that the Hepatitis B vaccine is not administered for the
well being of their child. Rather, it is delivered by the long arm of some
incompetent and mindless bureaucracy in the name of stamping out a disease most
babies can’t possibly get.
The Drug Company/CDC/FDA alliance has really pulled the wool over the medical
profession’s eyes with the Hepatitis B vaccine. The American Academy of
Pediatrics bought the alliance’s sales pitch and now recommends that all infants
get this vaccine at birth. So now the first thing most babies get in life is a
shock to their immune system from a vaccine against a non-existent risk of
contracting Hepatitis B.
Clearly, the interests of newborn babies were not represented on the CDC panel
that created this vaccination policy in 1991. This vaccine has no benefit
whatsoever for healthy newborns born to healthy mothers, in fact it wears off
and they will need booster shots later in life when they actually could get
exposed to the disease. This is simply a case of ravenous corporate greed and
mindless bureaucracy teaming up to overwhelm common sense
Nothing will ever bring my lovely daughter Lyla back, but other needless deaths
and injuries can be prevented if this senseless Hepatitis B newborn vaccination
program is halted. Please contact Belkin Limited in New York City if you are
aware of other infant deaths that may be related to the Hepatitis B vaccine."

Emily Wood shared her gut-wrenching story on a group that I am in, and gave me
permission to share. I hope her story will be a cautionary tale to many -
parents, grandparents, not yet pregnant, etc. I would especially love if any
nurses and doctors involved in the administration of vaccines would take the
time to investigate stories such as this. This is only the tip of the iceberg.
There are millions of families with similar stories. They need to be taken
seriously. They need to be heard.
"Thanks for the add. I have found my tribe.
☺
My oldest son was fully vaccinated and I always said "see, he's vaccinated and
healthy" he just has severe asthma, life threatening nut allergies and eczema.
Oh how blind I was.....for ten years

My second child was born last November. He rarely smiled and was very quiet. I
thought he was just a serious baby. He quit smiling after his 2 month vaccines.
The day of his 4 month vaccines was the last day he rolled over and yet we were
told there was no correlation. His pediatrician actually said "some babies just
don't like rolling." I continued on with my head in the sand. The day after his
6 month vaccines he began seizing. He was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms at the
children's hospital 2 days later. IS is a form of infant epilepsy combined with
developmental regression and delay. My son is 11 months old and functioning at a
4 month old level. Every single specialist refuses to acknowledge a link between
the vaccines and the onset of this disorder. Our neurologist said that the
vaccines didn't cause his IS but could have triggered it, most likely it would
have happened anyways. That's the closest I've gotten to a confirmation. My mom
gut knows the truth and he will never have another vaccine. He is 4 months
seizure free and finally rolling over again at 11 months thanks to his amazing
therapy team. The docs keep pressuring us to begin vaccinating him again.
Not gonna happen."
