Death By Vaccination
Brandy Mae
January 23, 1992 through June 15, 1993
Brandy Mae was born on January 23, 1992; at 12:00pm. Weighing
in at 7 pounds 12 ounces and 19 3/4 inches long. She was so
perfect, she never cried, unless she was hungry, never spit
up, never had colic, and slept through the whole night when
she was a couple of weeks old. She grew so very fast, right
before my eyes. She did occasionally get colds, eyes
infections, etc., but other than that she was a very happy
healthy baby. And of course the most beautiful baby!
Brandy was not camera shy,
in fact, she seemed to love the
camera and would pose for photos. She enjoyed anything out
doors, especially picking flowers. She loved being around
other children, and never minded having to share. She
always
caught peoples eyes when they walked by, her smile would
brighten anyone's day. While she was in daycare, the workers
always had a hard time putting Brandy down for naps or to
play
because they enjoyed spending time with
her. They said she was
one of the best babies they ever had the chance to be with.
In March of 1993, Brandy
developed gastroenteritis,
similar to the flu. She had vomited more than 25 times
within a 24 hour period and became very dehydrated. Her
doctor had her admitted into the hospital, a day later, her
temperature rose to 106.4. She then had a seizure. The
hospital did many tests to ensure the seizure was caused
by the high fever. After a few days, they released her,
she was on a brat diet and she did make a full recovery.
Then in June 1993, I took
Brandy to her doctor for an eye
infection, at that time he wrote her a prescription for some
eye drops and told me she didn't get her 15 month
immunization shots yet. I questioned him about whether or
not she should get them considering not that long before
hand, she was ill and had a seizure, and she had a current
eye infection, he told me to stand her on the floor and let
her walk around. About 30 seconds after, he said, "Mom, she
looks healthy to me, she needs her shots!" After leaving the
room, he ordered a nurse to come in to administer the shots.
She cried for about 2 minutes. Then I took her to see her
grandparents. She was fine, up until that night, she started
to cry a little, acting very tired. As the night grew on, Brandy
became more irritable. She started having fits of
screams, and
when I was holding her, she became almost limp, she was unable to
hold up her own bottle or her head. I dismissed all of these things
as normal
since her Dr and nurse told me that this would be normal.
I started to worry, of course every mother
does when your child
is not acting normal, but then I really believed that
the Dr knew
what he was talking
about and I didn't think that my worrying was
legitimate. So I gave her some Tylenol and rocked her
to sleep.
At midnight I laid her in bed. I checked on her one more time
before I went to bed, and she was sleeping just fine.
The next morning, I knew she
would be tired, so I showered
before I woke her up. As I started to open the door, I felt
a sharp pain in my stomach. She was lying on her stomach at
the foot of the bed, I tried calling her name, and felt her
back, then proceeded to roll her over. My baby was purple,
I screamed and ran to my neighbors to call 911 and got help.
Another neighbor came over and did CPR. But after 911 got
there, they said she must have died two hours prior to me
finding her.
After Brandy
died, the police and the medical examiner never
asked us any questions about what happened to her.
I made several attempts within the month following
her death to speak to the medical examiner and ask him what
he found. The autopsy report said that her brain was mildly
swollen, and all her lymph nodes were swollen. He told me
that he had to file her death as 'Undeterminable'. When I
asked why, he said that she could have been strangled,
suffocated, or died from SIDS. I told him I knew that was a
lie because if that were true there would have been bruises
somewhere on her body and the police would have done an
investigation, and I knew that at her age a child
doesn't die from SIDS.
The hardest thing I have
ever been through was finding her
passed away, making funeral arrangements, then having to put
her in her final resting spot and saying goodbye. She passed
away on June 15, 1993.
In March 1999, I spoke with
another lawyer who deals
exclusively with vaccine injury cases, who told me after
studying her autopsy report that he can see that Brandy did
in fact die from Encephalopathy due to her 5th DPT shot.
We now have two more
children, whom will never have the
chance to know their sister. Each day that passes by, I sit
and still think how could someone so loved be taken so soon,
she never had the chance to ride a bike, swim, go to school,
fall in love, have children, or just grow up like everyone
else. Your suppose to say goodbye to your parents, not the
parents saying goodbye to their children.
After all this time has gone by, I
now understand that God
needed her for more important things, I may never know what
it was or why, but I must trust him. I know he will love her
and watch over her, she is now in his care. She will always
be my angel above, and I know we will see each other again.
So the tears I shed, some of sorrow, some of pain, and some
for the joy I know we shared with the little time we had.
My Aunt once told me, that all people
are God's children, he
lends them to us for us to love and to learn from, so when
he needs them back, to understand he lent them to us, and we
will all be together again some day.
Brandy was the most important thing
in my life. She taught
me so much in the little time that she was here. The most
important value I learned from her was, no matter how much
time you have with someone, value each day as it is given
to you, show them the love you have and how much they
really
mean to you. You never get a second chance at life, so make
the one you have the best it can be.
I never would have thought
that something that was meant to
protect our children, could actually damage or even kill our
children. After Brandy died, I started searching for the truth,
and the truth is that a vaccine killed her! It was suppose to
make her immune to disease, instead it brought on something
her body was unable to fight off. Then during my research
I learned that over 100,000
children have reactions to vaccinations
each and every year. Some reactions are mild, while others
are left brain damaged, or some with horrible diseases
brought
on by vaccinations that can never be cured, and even death.
I was one of those parents who NEVER thought anything could
happen to my child, guess what.......I was WRONG!! And my
precious beautiful Brandy Mae paid with her innocent life.
I can't urge you enough to 'Educate Before You Vaccinate',
it may just save your child's life. It is so important for
parents to know that the choice to vaccinate is just that
Your Choice! Only you know what is best for your child.
Had I listened to my gut instinct that day, Brandy would still
be alive and here today.
I Love You Brandy Mae, You are in my heart forever.
P.S. Please take a minute and sign my guest book, Thank you.
Be your child's voice! Don't be afraid to believe in yourself!
