In the USA at the end of last year premature twins were born, one of which was very weak and ill with many health problems. For days his little life hung in the balance as he fought off one infection after another, through problems in the womb he had very poor weight gain and continued with poor feeding problems. Despite these problems however, not only was he given a huge cocktail of drugs but also his 1st Hepatitis B shot. Due to anaemia he was given a blood transfusion and his condition remained critical. Within days despite bloody stools and still losing weight, the 2nd Hep B shot was given and a day later he was discharged. Within just 10 mins of being home he stopped breathing. He was rushed back to the hospital but because he was crying and seemed fine the doctor advised that in premature babies it was normal to have periodic breathing and again discharged this baby.
Fourteen days later this baby who was still poorly and weak was given the 5 in 1 vaccine, which included the DTAP. Fifteen days later his mother called 911 as ********* had stopped breathing, this was 15 days after his last vaccine and 5 days after taking him into urgent care at the paediatric clinic because of poor feeding and low weight gain. Despite all efforts including giving him sodium bicarbonate and CPR he was pronounced brain dead just days later.
This little boy died of bleeding to the brain which was said to be consistent with SBS.
Of course there are many factors that could have caused this baby to die. He was a very sick little boy with a family medical history that may have made him vulnerable. However, the question is, did the multiple vaccines play a vital part in the death of this little boy? His father feels that they did. He feels that this little baby was given too many vaccines at a time when his little body just couldn’t cope.
This story does not stop here, if it did this story would be tragic enough but ********’s Mum and Dad have been accused of SBS which is a medical theory that explains a form of child abuse when an infant is shaken violently by their caretaker, creating a whip-lash motion that results in severe brain damage which can lead to a lifelong disability or death . The medical professionals advised that other twin was to be taken into care for his own safety. His father has said to me:-
“I apologize for rambling. My thoughts haven’t been clear and I have become so nervous since this whole tragedy started….What is sad is ******* passed away and our best case scenario remains that he has passed away. I think there is malpractice involved here and the only thing that has prevented me from a lawsuit is what would you ever sue for? If I were given every piece of money and gold in the world it could never repay me…The only reason I have ever thought of suing is as a means to have medical and legal assistance and the thought of creating a foundation in ******** name that ALL proceeds would go to defend innocent parents or the study of vaccines on premature children. Again I apologize for my verbiage and diction and for the rambling. I haven’t been the same the last 3 months….”
On another email he said:-
“I am not not sure if Shaken Baby Syndrome exists or not. A lot of literature and studies I have read indicate it doesn’t. I know in our situation it does not exist in our son passing away 3 months ago”
I have read the medical records in detail. In my opinion and I am not a medical professional this case shows a catalogue of possible medical errors which led to severe medical negligence, on top of this negligence multiple vaccines were administered to an already weak and vulnerable baby at a time where his body could not cope many studies and papers back my opinions.
To blame these parents for the death of this baby is not only a tragedy but downright disgraceful. This hospital should have a full inquiry and investigation into the death of this infant, as I feel the blame lies with them.
Slowly however the truth begins to come forward on the issue of vaccination deaths in premature and ill babies.
The Journal of Paediatrics has published a study showing that in a randomized trial of newborns given -DTaP, HIB, polio [IPV], Hep B and Prevnar vaccines major adverse events occurred.
“Results:
1.In 85% of the children an abnormal plasma elevation of CPR (a marker protein which indicates a heightened state of inflammation in the body).
2.The inflammation presented by the elevated CPR leads to SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome), where the child suffocates.
3.70% of the newborns given only one vaccine showed substantive increases in CPR.
4.16% of all of the newborns had cardio respiratory events (stopped breathing) within 48 hours of the vaccination.
5.Severe intra-ventricular haemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) was found in infants who received multiple vaccines.”
Watch the video of a landmark case where a family proved that vaccines caused severe brain damage to their little boy Ben Zeller
In a paper by Viera Schieibner called Shaken Baby Syndrome diagnoses on Shaky Ground in 2001 she writes:-
“An epidemic of accusations against parents and baby sitters of Shaken Baby Syndrome is sweeping the developed world. The United States and the United Kingdom are in the forefront of such questionable practice. Brain (mainly subdural, less often subarachnoid) and retinal haemorrhages, retinal detachments, and rib and other bone ‘fractures’ are considered pathognomic. However, the reality of these injuries is very different and well documented: the vast majority occur after the administration of childhood vaccines and a minority of cases are due to documented birth injuries and pre-eclamptic and eclamptic states of the mothers.”
Others agree with her,Harold Buttram MD FAACP has written many papers on adverse reactions to vaccines and SBS. In a paper called Shaken Baby Syndrome or Vaccine-Induced Encephalitis he writes about 25 cases that are unpublished where accusations of SBS or convictions have taken place. Interestingly all these cases have been similar in nature to this case, he writes:-
“All occurred in fragile infants born from complicated pregnancies. Problems included prematurity, low birth weights, drug/alcohol problems, diabetic mothers, or other maternal complications. 2) All infants were 6 months or less of age. 3) Onset of signs and symptoms occurred at about 2, 4, or 6 months of age, within 12 days of vaccines. 4) All infants had subdural hematomas. 5) Some had multiple fractures.”
All over the world cases of accused parents and carers are arising. Suddenly babies everywhere are apparently being shaken to death. According to one report 1,300 babies are killed or injured every year this way. A very famous case was the case of Louise Woodward an English au pair who was found guilty of shaking baby Matthew Eappen to death. She was sentenced to 15 years however was later released on Appeal.
There are also cases in the UK and there is now a website set up to give support to those who are falsely accused of Shaken Baby Syndrome in the UK called the The Five Percenters It outlines various cases and outcomes.
In fact for many years now many professionals from around the world have been writing papers on vaccines and false accusations of child abuse. Charles Pragnell wrote a paper called Vaccines and Child Abuse Accusations after he became concerned by the numbers of parents he was seeing being accused of MSBP or Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy and FII, Fictious and Induced Illness, these are where the parents either causes or makes up the illness or disability for attention from the medical professionals. He writes :-
“There can be no debate that some vaccines cause very serious injury and even death, to some children. This has been recognised by both the British government(1980) and the U.S.A. government (VAERS Act 1986) for over 20 years and both governments have provided compensation schemes to families with children who have suffered such adverse reactions. Under both Schemes doctors are required to report every adverse reaction of a child to a vaccine to a central government body but it is reasonably estimated that less than one in ten are so reported.”
Charles explains just what can happen when a parent of a disabled or ill child especially one that has been vaccine damaged asks for help. Many he says are accused of causing the disabilities and illnesses themselves.
Of course other professionals have been linking various different disorders and conditions and false accusations for years. Lisa Blakemore-Brown was one of the earliest professionals to make the link between Vaccines/Autism and false accusations of MSBP. She has been battling to have this recognised from as early as 1997. She first raised her concerns in 1997 in a docmentry made in New Zealand
Health Advocate Gregory White writes about the film:-
“This documentary was made by TV3, Auckland New Zealand, for their 20/20 programme. It won a Quantas Award for Best Investigative Medical Journalism. It was filmed in Auckland and in England during the early months of 1997 and aired on March 27th 1997.
Its focus is the use of the legal term “Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy” and how innocent mothers have been destroyed by having it falsely applied to them and blamed for their children’s very real conditions, some of which are related to side effects of drugs and vaccines.
It pivotally features a mother who had four children removed in the UK, and moved to New Zealand with her Kiwi husband; a number of similarly falsely accused families and certain key professional figures, namely, David Southall, a Paediatrician and Lisa Blakemore-Brown, a Psychologist.
The reason it features these professionals is because both were Experts in a court case involving the central family featured in the film.
Lisa Blakemore-Brown is a specialist in Autism and related disorders such as ADHD and David Southall is a specialist in Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, though the public will know him more for his false assertions that Stephen Clark killed his two infant boys after watching him give an interview in a TV documentary. Stephen Clark was married to the now deceased tragic Sally Clark, wrongly accused and jailed for killing her children, with Professor Sir Roy Meadow, another MSBP Expert, making dogmatic and subsequently discredited claims in her case.
The film focuses, some may think unfairly, on the methods and thinking of Professor Southall. In his defence it needs to be said that he is not alone in this thinking, which has rapidly developed, especially in the last ten years. Professor Sir Roy Meadow first used the term Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy in 1977.”
Sadly it took another 12 years before Dr Southall was finally struck off the medical register for falsely accusing innocent parents of child abuse which happened 22nd May 2009.
However, Lisa had never given up trying to expose what has been happening to parents. In 1998 she wrote a letter in the Therapist, and has carried on through the years writing letters to the Government, speaking on radio and television and in various conventions worldwide on the subject.In 2004 she was asked to speak in Sydney on Munchausen by Proxy . She is still speaking out today, again only a few weeks ago in an Autism Rally in London she said :-
“Vaccine Damage Denial
Some fairly obvious cases began to reach the High Court — cases in which babies had died following vaccines but the mothers were being accused, MSBP style, of killing them, shaking them, suffocating them etc. Two key Expert Paediatricians were Professor Sir Roy Meadow, who the Government Knighted in 1998, and Dr David Southall who was the Expert in my first twins case. Their involvement with vaccine research and policy was never mentioned in any of the Court cases.
That these men were covering up for vaccine damage by horrific distortions of the truth leading to a total system denial of reactions to vaccines (which in turn contributed to the blanket denial of this as a potential cause at the very least) was of course too shocking for people to even countenance — and this continues.”
To continue reading this brilliant and very strong speech and other work by Lisa Blakemore-Brown showing how the Governments have systematically ignored her concerns and covered up children being damaged and killed by vaccines, then the website Profitable Harm has many examples of her work.
Sadly despite what has appeared to be hitting her head against a brick wall, more and more evidence is surfacing proving her theories to be accurate. I urge the committees that advise our Governments to read her work and the many others who have written on the subject of false allegations of child abuse and heed their warnings if you really care about the children of this world. This situation can only continue to get worse.
