Testimonies: Deaths from vaccination
Victim testimonies
Nancy Babcock's album (vaccine deaths and injuries)
[2009 June] In Memory of Marina McQuaig
Marina passed away at the age of eight on November 26, 2008. Marina suffered
from a severe seizure disorder precipitated by vaccination and
re-vaccination.... "I was given a flu shot with thimerosal [a mercury-containing
preservative] when I was eleven weeks pregnant with Marina.....I avoided using
asthma medication because I didn't want to harm my developing baby, but then I
had to use it because the flu shot gave me oculo-respiratory syndrome and I
couldn't breathe.....Marina was born with cutis applaisia [improper skin
development] on her hands and feet, which to me is an obvious result of the
vaccine because the last layer of skin forms at around the eleventh week of
pregnancy.
At two months she was diagnosed with epilepsy but she usually
would never have more than one or two seizures a day. Because health authorities
do not withhold vaccination for something they consider such a minor health
problem [ie an evolving neurological condition], Marina was injected with all
the usual infant vaccines on schedule at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months. Looking back,
she did have reactions to most of the vaccines but we never linked it the way we
should have.
At 18 months, Marina was due for the seven vaccines
given then: diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, Haemophilus Infiuenzae B,
chickenpox and meningococcus. She had been free of seizures for a year except
for one possible seizure we didn't see but suspected two weeks before the 18
month vaccines.
We told our paediatrician and the health nurse
about this but the nurse told me they changed the vaccine and it no longer
affected seizures. At the time of the vaccines Marina had a cold. I kept asking
the nurse if it was all right to go ahead. She said yes - just give Marina
Tylenol for the next twenty four hours."
The result was: a two week stay at Children's
Hospital with one week in the ICU; unremitting seizures followed by seizures
almost daily, up to more than fifteen per day; Marina came close to death 60 hrs
after the seven doses. Unbelievably, public health carried on as if nothing had
happened."
.......because public health denies any connection, what's happened to Marina
will not go to 'statistics' to help prevent the same thing happening again. I
hope one day. if enough parents continue to tell their stories, our children
will be protected."
Ian's Reaction to the Hepatitis B Vaccine This site is dedicated to giving voice to our son Ian Larsen Gromowski. Our child died of an adverse reaction to the hepatitis B vaccine. Our hope is that Ian's story will inspire you to learn the benefits and the risks of vaccines, so that your decisions are informed and best suited for your child.
[2009 Feb] How Important is Hepatitis B Vaccination at Birth? By Deanna Gromowski Ian was given his Hepatitis B vaccination on July 1st, 2007 even though he was fighting off the meconium, even though he had a fever ABOVE 100 degrees on June 30th, and even though he had a fever above 100 degrees the day of July 1st they STILL VACCINATED HIM...... Within 12 hours of his vaccination he had the rash, within 24 hours the severe thrombocytopenia set in, and then he was in a fatal state from then on. NO DOCTORS, NURSES, STAFF would even consider the vaccination as the source.

Below testimonies taken from Nancy Babcock's album (231 vaccine deaths and injuries)
“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

"This is a photo of my son about 3 hours before getting his shots. He passed away 13 hours after his shots. "
"....The parents, now estranged, marked the date of what would have been
their child’s 2nd birthday in solemn remembrance of their son; born August 4,
2009, died June 21, 2011. The father duly noted “Each time he was given shots he
seemed to have seizures…overdose symptoms were heart block, coma, death.” Max,
may you rest in peace...."

"How did Celine die?
As of September 1st, Celine will no longer sleep in her bedroom. She will never
sleep in it again. Celine, at four years old, died after receiving a
contaminated vaccine, according to her father's posts on Facebook in which he
begs his daughter's forgiveness."
They were emigrating to Canada. Celine begged not to have the jabs and he held
her down, telling her it was for her own good, for a better life. He keeps
asking her forgiveness and the forgiveness of the family for what he did.
From Krista
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
and he has never been sick or even been to a doctor.." https://www.facebook.com/
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.”

Two other girls from New Zealand have also died in their sleep after Gardasil
vaccinations, but their families wish to retain their privacy while attempting
to cope with their grief.

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 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.

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.
Via VacTruth:
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?”

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…

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.

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.

Terry received his vaccines on 6-3-14 and was in heaven the next morning.
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.

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?
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.”
The Edgy Truth
http://edgytruth.com/2015/
"...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.

Trent Micheal . . . shared by his mother on September 6, 2014

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
as you took your last breath. In some ways, it seemed to fly by. In other ways,
the time crawled. Every moment of the last ten years my heart has ached with the
loss of you. Here I am, all these years later, and I still feel like I have a
gaping wound in my soul. It will never heal. That hole will never be closed. I
love and miss you with all that I am, Gracie Briana Lynne. I'm in no hurry to
leave this earth, but I'm joyous knowing that when I do, we'll be reunited and
enjoy eternity together in His kingdom. ♡

We are heartbroken to learn of another baby lost to vaccines recently, from
Lafayette, Louisiana.

In Memory Of Aysia Hope Clark heart emoticon
May 11, 2015 – July 4, 2015
Aysia died early in the morning, only four days after she received the 2 month
vaccines. Her mother speaks out to warn others this is happening a lot but this
information is being kept from us. She learned the truth after her daughter
stopped breathing and died, less than 4 days after receiving the routine 8
vaccine doses for DTaP, Hib, Polio, Hep B, Pneumococcal and the oral Rotavirus
vaccine, given to 2 month olds at these so-called well baby check-ups.
Little Aysia was happy and healthy prior to that doctor's appointment.
Aysia’s mother Hope stated the coroner doesn’t believe in SIDS. He has
preliminarily ruled Aysia’s cause of death as positional asphyxiation although
there is no proof of this and nothing was blocking Aysia's airways when she
passed. Many parents coming forward after losing their baby after vaccination
report the same ruling.
The autopsy report will take a little while to receive, to get the final ruling.
It is extremely unlikely the vaccines will be listed on her final autopsy
report, they usually aren't. Hope asked, if these shots are so safe, why are
they killing our babies?
After Aysia was found, her mother performed CPR on her. This has engrained a
memory in her head she cannot forget. She speaks out so other parents learn they
must research the vaccines and not just trust their doctor.
When Hope went to the pediatrician’s office to get a copy of her daughter
Aysia’s medical records, to get info on the vaccines, she expected to get a list
of the vaccines, the lot numbers, site of injection information, etc., which is
required information doctors have to keep on file, she was denied some of this
information from the doctor, that should have been in Aysia’s medical records.
The doctor only gave Hope the names of the vaccines given. When Hope asked about
the lot numbers, she was told they don’t have anything to do with it and she was
told to call the Health and Hospitals Department. So she called them and they
said that’s a lie and that the doctor has to have them, because the doctor is
the one that ordered the vaccines, that this Department does not have that
information.
So now, Hope has the names of the vaccines given and has to battle getting the
rest of this information denied from her daughter’s doctor.
Hope shares with us,
“As I sit here and look at pictures of my baby Aysia, my heart melts. I just
want to hold her. I would give my last breath to have her here with me. RIP my
sweet baby Aysia. We love you and don’t understand it now, but someday we will
and I will see you again.
I know she is serving a bigger purpose now then I will ever understand. It has
been a month since she passed away but it feels like she has been gone forever.
Fly high my baby girl. Oh my god, I’m so broken.”
Love Your Mother,
Hope Doucet
"Life after losing a loved one to vaccines is very painful. With a heavy

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.

Serious vaccine injuries happen to children every day and are often ignored by
medical professionals.
Each parent has their own story, journey, experience, and feelings to share with
you.
Facing that journey is precisely why we are developing programs to help parents
heal that have a vaccine injured child.

"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."
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

Your generous gift will change lives.
Serious vaccine injuries happen to children every day and are often ignored by
medical professionals.
Each parent has their own story, journey, experience, and feelings to share with
you.
Facing that journey is precisely why we are developing programs to help parents
heal that have a vaccine injured child.

"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."
Indigo Grant Jan 2017. ''Today makes a year since my baby
Madison has been gone. This is why anti-vaccine advocation is so important to
me. The green shirt is the photo I took of Madison the night before we took her
to her 2 month old visit where she got her vaccines. The photos after are the
morning after she received her vaccines. She got serratia biogroup 2 from her
vaccines which is usually found in government vaccines or transferred during
surgery. Madison never had surgery. Today my husband and I remember Madison, and
we hope that Madison's story is encouraging enough to let parents know how
important it is to follow your instincts.'' #JusticeForMadison
