SIDS - Death Through Vaccines
A Mother's Bitter Tears For Her Baby Daughter
SIDS - Sudden Infant Death Syndrome!
The following narrative brings home the untold human
suffering of vaccinating infants in the name of prevention.
Why do parents allow our government to play Russian Roulette with their children's lives through vaccination?
Is it out of fear, lack of information, or trust in authority?
Whatever the reason, babies continue to suffer and die.
Parents continue to mourn, and the vaccination con game
rolls on.
The following article was received recently by email
and is forwarded along for the notice of all parents
and people concerned with the welfare of babies
and small children.

Today is my daughter's sweet 16th birthday but we will not be
celebrating. Instead I will light a candle and when I blow it out
I will make a wish in my daughter's memory. My wish is for
all mother's worldwide, that you will educate yourselves and
that you make informed choices so that you may prevent
unnecessary tragedy and be spared from my pain.
Laura's Story
After 41 weeks of pregnancy, on July 27th, 1986, a perfect
and healthy little baby, Laura Marie, made her entrance into
the world. We were welcomed home by family and friends
anxiously waiting to meet the new family member. They
showered her with so many beautiful, little tiny, pink dresses,
we joked that she would never be able to wear them all in one
lifetime.
Our lives changed completely and now revolved around
stroller walks in the park, visiting friends, changing diapers,
night feedings and shopping for more little pink dresses. We
were parents now, we had a family and life was absolutely
perfect.
I took Laura for several baby check-ups at the pediatrician.
She was a kind and gentle older woman. At 3 months old, the
pediatrician was very pleased with Laura's development and
weight gain and vaccinated her with DPT OPV. I didn't even
question her, I knew that all my friend's babies had this same
vaccine and "all good mothers" vaccinated their children to
protect them. I left the pediatrician's office and walked home.
Laura was very fussy, which was unusual. She was crying
loudly all the way home in the stroller. When we got home, I
realized she had urinated so heavily she wet everything in the
stroller. Then her cry turned into screaming and she developed
a fever, her leg was very swollen and red, and felt hot. I called
the pediatrician who told me this was "normal" and to give
her Tempra. I gave her baby Tempra and I felt better, the
pediatrician had assured me this was normal.
Laura continued to scream and I could no longer console
her. My every instinct told me this was not normal but I was
young with my first child and trusted the doctor. I could not
hold Laura in my arms because she screamed louder as any
movement of her leg seemed to cause her terrible pain. I
put her in the swing and she cried herself to sleep. I was so
relieved, the Tempra was working and the doctor must have
been right. I began to feel silly for all my worrying. A short
time later, Laura woke up screaming and spent the evening
screaming and sleeping on and off.
She had no appetite and nothing made her stop crying.
Finally it was bedtime and she cried in her crib, until she fell
asleep. She had never cried herself to sleep before and I felt
very bad for letting her but if I held her, she screamed louder.
My husband came home from work and I told him about
everything that had happened that day. Laura was sleeping
soundly in her crib and we were both relieved that she seemed
to be feeling better and decided not to worry... I should have
worried.
In the morning I awoke and was startled to realize my husband
had slept in for work. I immediately knew something was
wrong and the worry from the previous night came rushing
back to me. I quickly ran to her crib, with a feeling of dread.
She did not look right. I closed my eyes tight and opened them
again, and considered the possibility that this was a dream, but
when I opened my eyes she looked dead.
I went into shock and after that, much of this day remains a
blur. I touched her and she was very warm. I screamed for
my husband to call 911.
I watched as he performed CPR, my body was frozen and I
couldn't move. He tried to revive our child to no avail. He was
shouting for me to open the door for the paramedics, I was
temporarily jolted back to reality and I went and opened the
door. I could now move but couldn't speak. I just stood there
numbly shaking my head, feeling completely helpless as
dozens of paramedics, police and firemen rushed past me
into our home.
I didn't cry, and I wanted to scream at them to leave her
alone but I couldn't speak. She was on the floor and they
were shocking her tiny body, in the little bedroom with the
yellow painted walls and clown wallpaper. I stood there
praying in my head that they would just leave her alone, that
they would get out of her bedroom and that I would wake up
from this horrible dream.
Then I heard someone saying there was a faint pulse and I
suddenly felt hopeful. She was rushed from the house in an
ambulance. It was then that the homicide detectives led us
into another room and the interrogation began.
They decided that my husband and I needed to be questioned
in separate rooms. I immediately realized they suspected
that we had done this to our child. We all know that perfect
children do not suddenly die for no reason. I was silent, I had
already decided in my own mind that this was somehow all
my fault and although I wasn't quite sure what I had done to
kill her, I was convinced that I had somehow caused this to
happen. Perhaps, I was being punished by god for a sin or
perhaps it happened because I had let her cry herself to
sleep that night. The fact remained that my child was dead
and "good mothers" do not have dead children.
My husband began to protest loudly about the line of
questioning and he demanded we be taken immediately
to the hospital, to see our child. The detectives finally
took us to the hospital and put us in the "bad news room."
The doctor came and insisted we sit down before he spoke
to us. He began telling us that they had tried this and that
and then finally he said the words that would echo in my
ears for a lifetime: "She is dead."
The pediatrician whom I so respected and adored broke down
and cried when I gave her the news on the phone. She went
back and forth defending the vaccine that she was told was
safe, and blaming it for killing my child and those who told
her it was safe.
She then told me that she also had another patient, an infant
boy, die after this same vaccination.
Then the detectives took us home for more questions, often
repeating the same questions several times until they grew
tired of asking them. The questions constantly centered
around our involvement, then they searched the house and
checked for signs of forced entry. My husband repeatedly
told them that he thought the vaccine had killed our child
and told them over and over about her unusual behavior
since she was vaccinated.
Everyone we knew arrived at our house. I made coffee and
tidied the house, like it was any other day and we were having
"guests". Shock is a strange and wonderful thing and of
course you don't know you are in it.
My parents finally insisted on taking me to their house
for a few days, while my husband and his friends had the
horrendous task of packing up the nursery because I couldn't
stand to look at it any longer. The room I had so lovingly
made was now empty and a source of great pain.
Several days later, after the funeral and the tiny white coffin
that was so small my husband carried it alone, I finally came
out of shock and allowed myself to cry a river. I cried for all
the things I would never do with my daughter. All the ballet
classes I would never take her to, the wedding I would never
attend, the grandchildren I would never know and all the
dreams I would never realize with her. I cried for all that was
and all that would never be. There was an emptiness inside of
me that threatened to swallow me up whole, as I fell into the
depths of grief during the darkest days of my life.
The detectives eventually became satisfied that we had not
harmed our daughter in any way and the investigation into her
death ended. We were then left without answers.
The doctors did not want to talk about her death being related
in any way to the vaccine and, one after the other, refused to
answer our many questions. I was repeatedly told that vaccines
were for "the greater good." I was even told that loss of life
through immunization was "expected" in the war against
disease but these losses were considered to be at "acceptable"
levels. However, this did not feel very acceptable or good to
me as a mother with empty arms that ached for my child. The
coroner finally told us months later that the cause of death was
determined to be "SIDS" (sudden infant death syndrome),
meaning "no known cause," and refused to release a copy of
the autopsy report to us.
It took almost a year for us to obtain this report and to our
great horror, we realized that the autopsy summary was
copied directly from the vaccine product monograph under
the heading "Contraindications" as follows:
"Sudden infant death syndrome has been reported following
administration of vaccines containing Diphtheria, tetanus
toxoids, and pertussis vaccine. However, the significance of
these reports is not clear. One common factor is the age where
primary immunization was done between the age of 2 to 6
months, a period where most sudden infant death syndromes
are found to occur with a peak incidence being at 2 to 4
months."
There was no toxicology testing performed and the
pediatrician never filed an adverse vaccine reaction report with
health authorities. I later learned that most vaccine-induced
deaths in this country are listed as SIDS and SIDS statistics
are NOT included in vaccine adverse reaction data, even if a
child dies only a few hours after receiving inoculation. This
data is presented to physicians and the public to reassure them
that vaccines are safe.
The government's own literature advises that there has been
little or no testing in the area of vaccine safety or efficacy.
Essentially, our children are the test. According to their
literature, immunization is "the most cost effective" way to
prevent disease. Nowhere in their literature does it claim to
be the safest. We are trading our children's lives to save the
government money. We are told that the benefits outweigh
the risks but many of the diseases that we vaccinate for are
not even life threatening; however, the vaccine itself has the
potential to kill.
Vaccines kill at a much higher rate than we are led to believe.
We play vaccine roulette with our children's lives and we never
know which child will fall victim next.
If the odds are 1 in 500 thousand for death, 1 in 100 thousand
for permanent brain injury, 1 in 1700 for seizures and
convulsions or one in 100 for adverse reaction, are you willing
to take that chance? Are any odds acceptable enough to
convince you to gamble with your child's life?
I can assure you that death from vaccination is neither quick
nor painless. I helplessly watched my daughter suffer an
excruciatingly slow death as she screamed and arched her
back in pain, while the vaccine did as it was intended to do and
assaulted her immature immune system. The poisons used as
preservatives seeped through her tiny body, overwhelming her
vital organs one by one until they collapsed. It is an image that
will haunt me forever and I hope no other parent ever has to
witness it.
A death sentence considered too inhumane for this county's
most violent criminals was handed down to my beautiful,
innocent, infant daughter, death by lethal injection.
Today, on my daughter's birthday, I will grieve not only for
the loss of my own child but for all the innocent children for
which the benefits of vaccines do not outweigh the risks and
are unnecessarily sentenced to death by lethal injection, under
the guise of "the greater good." The true war is not against
disease; we have somehow become our own worst enemy by
putting our faith in science instead of nature. Today, I call on
all mothers across the world to join me in putting an end to
this senseless slaughter of our most precious resource, our
children.
Response from Dawn Richardson, President

Dear PROVE Members
I am forwarding this as a tribute to baby Laura and all the
other children who have been injured or killed by a vaccine
so that parents can learn another side to the vaccine story.
When I was almost 8 months pregnant with one of my
daughters, I had volunteered to go to the Travis County
Morgue with Karin Schumacher who, for years before she
went to Law School, ran the NVIC news-list. Karin asked
me to help her go through autopsy reports of infants listed as
SIDS deaths and look at vaccination information. I will never
forget the experience. We sat there in this basement buried in
infant autopsy reports as my own baby kicked and turned
inside of me. Here were two of our observations:
1. A highly disproportionate amount of SIDS deaths
clustered at 2, 4, and 6 months -- which are the very times
infants are vaccinated. If vaccines had nothing to do with
these, the numbers should have been randomly spread
throughout the first 6 months of life. Not so. I challenge
the naysayers to go to any morgue in the country and to
be honest and see what I'm talking about.
2. It was shocking at how rare it was for the vaccine
information to be recorded and how little investigating
into the cause of death of these babies was actually done.
It floored me that the when the vaccine information was
even mentioned, it was often so incomplete. Medical
examiners routinely missed asking for this indispensable
information and failed to note the correlation of the date
when the child died to even raise the question.
One of the things that struck me when reading Christine's
story is that here we are 16 years later and so many doctors
are still downplaying and denying the risks of vaccines and
healthy babies are still dying after being vaccinated. One of
the most offensive things that Senator Frist
http://frist.senate.gov/contact.cfm
has in his vaccine bill which shields the drug
companies from all liability when a vaccine injures or kills
someone is that he is proposing that the federal government
increase the amount of money that a parent receives from the
government compensation program when their child is killed
by a vaccine. Parents are not willing to be bought off with this
blood money.
Elected officials like Frist who want to eliminate the financial
responsibility of the drug companies all together and throw the
bone to parents that the government will pay them more if the
government mandated vaccine kills their kid need to be voted
out of Congress. If you haven't sent your email notes to your
senators to:
http://www.vaccineinfo.net/national_issues/oppose_Frist_bill_s2053.htm
oppose S 2053 yet - PLEASE do! If drug companies have
ZERO threat of liability, the one thing we can be certain of is
that stories like [Laura's] will become far more common. The
key to change is education. Fortunately, the Internet allows
parents to educate parents. Please stop for a quiet moment
after reading the note and say a prayer for all the babies whose
lives were ended before they even got a chance to really start
and then take the time to forward this on to other parents.
Sincerely,
Dawn Richardson
