How old are these people - 17 - sounds like a very adolescent remark.

The question here, to me, seems to be not, " could this not have been a

definite factor . . . " but is there any way this could NOT have been

a factor.

Yes. Vaccines are toxic and dangerous to babies. A fetus is a baby.

I would think this woman would have had a healthy baby if she had not

had the vaccine.

My opinion.

I want to commend you on visiting this young lady. A lot of people would run from her, not knowing what to say or do. People going through such a thing need someone to just be there, sometimes never saying a word, sometimes hugging, sometimes allowing them to vent frustration, etc. I am in no way compaing myself to this young women, but I have given a child up for adoption and know how that emptiness feels, the loss, the grief and all that goes with it. My social worker at the time had just lost her son after a full term pregnancy due to complications. We had a lot in common and bonded. Anyway, I feel certain due to the garbage they put in the vaccines that this had almost certainly something to do with this precious baby's death. If it effects children outside the womb, it effects the ones inside the womb. Women share everything with their fetuses. If the women eats it, drinks it, smokes it, etc., so does the child.

I am praying for this precious family. I am so sorry for them. I do hope that eventually they can use this terrible tragedy to help someone else.

I agree, the vaccine (and the doctor who recommended it and the doctor who injected it and the manufacturers of the vaccine, and the government officials that allow this to go on, and others I'm sure) killed the baby.

Yes, it is absolutely likely the vaccine caused this baby's death,

though the medical community would never admit it. I have heard at

least three other stories very similar to this in the last year. One

lady on another list I belong to stated that she was having a normal,

uneventful pregnancy until the day she got the flu shot. She was 32

weeks along. 6 hours after the vaccine, she was in labor and

delivering a premie baby. Thankfully her baby lived, but she has no

doubt in her mind that the flu shot caused her to go into permature

labor.

Why would any pregnant woman even consider getting a flu vaccine? This is the typical case where blind trust in a white-coated moron can have fatal consequences.

"When a pregnant woman receives the flu vaccine, the fetus receives several hundred times more mercury than federal agencies say is safe for adults. Even the vaccine manufacturers admit the flu vaccine hasn't been adequately tested. The insert on one such vaccine (Fluzone) even stated: "Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Influenza Virus Vaccine. It is not known whether Influenza Virus Vaccine can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity." http://www.health-truth.com/130.php

In addition, it is a well known fact that another killer of mankind - aspartame - is hidden in more than 5,000 food products, in addition to diet sodas. Aspartame interacts with all vaccines and drugs. In a mail I received from Dr. Betty i today, she says in this respect:

"

When I think of Thimerosal, I think of a meeting

held in the Carolinas with manufacturers and some

concerned doctors. As you know, Thimerosal is

heavy and sinks to the bottom of the

container. So the last child to get the vaccine

may not recover. So the end of the meeting was

the manufacturer said to just "shake the

bottle"! Unbelievable. What about all the

doctors not told to shake the bottle? Anybody

knows mercury is dangerous. Consider if the child

is using aspartame which is a chelating agent,

and aspartame also interacts with vaccines as

well as drugs. You can understand why autism is

1 in 10 worldwide! I assume you know aspartame

is a teratogen and triggers birth defects and

mental retardation. It's also an abortifacient

and millions of babies have been murdered in their mother's womb.

Hullo . Flu vaccines Still contain mercury. Mercury is known to cause both stillbirths and premature delivery. Mercury injected into the already immune compromised body of a pregnant woman (Which should never be allowed), these toxins go right into the blood supply and into the embrionic fluids, so it is just like the unborn fetus is getting the shot too. And the recommendation is not for children under the age of 2 to get a flu shot. So think about that. That may answer your question of Coulda Shoulda Woulda. Was the infant autopsied or tested for cause of death, for things like mercury poisoning or enceph/meningitis? It was a sad story to hear.

Thank you so much, everyone who's responded so far to this. I

appreciate all you said. My heart just aches for this dear young

woman. It pretty much clicked with me what must have happened just as

soon as she said she " dutifully " got her flu shot during her to that

time uneventful pregnancy.

They have sent the baby for autopsies, but they have told her they

" may never " know what caused her baby's death. I'm just thinking,

with what I've been learning, and with what you all here are

confirming, they'll know exactly what caused her baby's death, but

they're not going to admit it to any degree.

We're new in this area (moved to TX from MT) and are just getting to

people and places around here. I'm going to continue to befriend this

young lady, and hopefully she'll learn more about how horrible

vaccines are, so that she'll be more informed in the decisions she'll

make in the future.

My husband has a co-worker who was expressing concern about the fact

that his son, now about twenty months, was developing normally until

they gave him at least four shots at one time (with who knows how many

vaccines in these). He only grunts when he wants something, does

puzzles remarkably well, and a few other " classic " behaviors. My

husband's working on helping this father understand a bit better about

the horrors of vaccines now too.

I really do cringe when I think of the countless lives now horribly

afflicted and families also affected by these vaccines we have been so

blindly conditioned to believe are good, safe, and effective.

Thank you again, all, for the wonderful support, knowledge, and

friendship I'm feeling on this list

Yes, the flu vaccine can cause this - I know doctors that looked into

this and they found that flu vaccines can cause spontaneous abortion.

I didn't do the research ahead of time, and allowed the flu shot while

pregnant. My daughter developed a heart arhythmia in utero after I

received the flu shot. She now is labeled with autism and borderline

cerebral palsy.

Pregnant moms are being told not to smoke, drink alcohol, drink/eat

caffeine, etc, yet the same doctors advising that are pushing flu shots

with mercury and aluminum and other toxins.

Exactly Karla. I doubt they would admit to seeing merc poisoning

though. There must have been a very short fuse due to an already high

toxic load and probably genetic weakness coupled in this case. If she

had not had the flu shot, the baby was born and commenced vaxes, it

would have been disastrous at that point.....sounds like her

philosophy + the baby's sensitivity were doomed no matter what.

Give her comfort and love....and perhaps in time instill some ideas of

detoxing her body (and the father's) before becoming pregnant again,

at least. Then of course to look at the dangers of any vax. I think

her eyes will open in time, in wanting some answers.

Be well,

Liz

The flu during pregnancy increases the risk of schizophrenia in the child, but

go ahead &

recommend the flu shot!!! ugh!!!!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-

dyn/content/article/2007/11/23/AR2007112301327.html

Over the past several decades, a steady stream of studies has documented that

people

born in winter and spring have an increased risk for schizophrenia, a serious

mental

illness characterized by disordered thinking, hallucinations and other psychotic

symptoms.

Explanations for the increased risk have ranged from the astrological --

different signs of

the zodiac have been associated with various mental problems -- to accounts that

suggested the risk came from seasonal variations in sunlight.

In recent months and years, scientists have developed a different explanation:

Studies

show the increased risk of schizophrenia appears linked to maternal infections

during the

first and second trimesters of pregnancy -- especially flu infections. Since the

flu peaks in

the fall, this might explain why babies born in the winter and spring have the

higher risk.

The research is both intriguing and troubling. For one thing, it suggests that

the origins of

diseases such as schizophrenia might start as early as the womb. Indeed,

symptoms of

schizophrenia, which typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood and

affects

about 1 percent of the population, may only be the very last stage in a long

process.

" Often what we see in the form of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and even some

of the

more neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease [is] the end stage where

people show

symptoms, " said Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental

Health. " The

best model is in Parkinson's disease: You don't show the symptoms until you have

lost 80

percent of the neurons in the substantia nigra, " an area of the brain that helps

produce

the neurotransmitter dopamine.

But if research into the links between early maternal infections and

schizophrenia might

one day provide researchers with clues about how to attack the disease before

symptoms

become apparent, it also raises difficult public health conundrums.

That's because the newest studies suggest the culprit may not be infections such

as the

flu per se, but pregnant mothers' immune reactions to such infections. Current

guidelines

recommend that pregnant women get a flu shot -- and the point of the flu vaccine

is to

set off an immune reaction. If the risk for schizophrenia is increased as a

result of

maternal antibodies, might protecting mom and baby from the flu raise the risk

the child

could get schizophrenia years down the road?

The research into the links between maternal flu and schizophrenia is still

considered

preliminary, which makes any policy conclusions premature, but scientists

studying the

connection are starting to worry. National guidelines issued by the Centers for

Disease

Control and Prevention recommend that pregnant women get flu shots.

" Obviously, the safe thing to do is to go with the experts, and the experts are

the CDC, "

said , a professor of biology at the California Institute of

Technology and

one of the leading researchers into the link between maternal infections and

schizophrenia. " However, if it was my wife, I would not [want] her vaccinated. "

said he would try to protect a pregnant family member from the flu by

suggesting she keep away from infected people and by enforcing a regimen of

regular

hand-washing among all family members.

However, he conceded that such measures might not be as effective as flu shots

and that

women who get the flu because they don't get a flu shot might not only put their

future

children at increased risk for schizophrenia, but also incur numerous other

risks from the

illness. Careful prevention techniques, moreover, are unlikely to help pregnant

women

who have toddlers, because small children tend to bring home endless streams of

viral

infections.

Insel praised 's research into the connection between infections and

schizophrenia, but he warned against rushing to revise flu shot recommendations.

Hints about the schizophrenia-winter connection have been around for decades.

Epidemiologists have found that children of women who were pregnant during

widespread

flu epidemics seemed to have higher risk for schizophrenia. But critics have

said there's

insufficient evidence to assert a causative relationship because such studies

did not

confirm that the pregnant women had the flu.

Besides, other factors seemed to trigger the same effect: One wartime study

found that

pregnant women whose husbands died were more likely to have children who later

developed schizophrenia.

A research breakthrough came in 2004 when Alan Brown, a psychiatrist at Columbia

University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute, got access to data from

a study

that collected blood samples between 1959 and 1966 from thousands of pregnant

women

at different stages of their pregnancy.

In an analysis that compared blood samples from the mothers of 64 children who

went on

to develop schizophrenia with blood samples of similar mothers whose offspring

did not,

Brown and his colleagues showed that women who had higher levels of influenza

antibodies in their first or second trimester of pregnancy had offspring who

were three to

seven times more likely to develop schizophrenia.

Brown calculated that if the women had not had the flu during pregnancy, 14

percent of

the schizophrenia cases could have been prevented, an effect he calls

potentially

enormous for a disease believed to have several complex genetic and

environmental

factors.

Brown and other researchers also began seeking evidence that mothers who

contracted

other infections during pregnancy also had children who were at increased risk

of

schizophrenia; they also began looking for common pathways between the

infections. One

appeared to be an immune system protein, or cytokine, called interleukin-6;

cytokines are

activated not only through infections but also through stress.

Brown, Insel and all hasten to point out that, while schizophrenia is

a relatively

rare disease, as many as 10 percent of women get the flu while they are

pregnant, and

many pregnant women contract other infections and experience stress. This

suggests that

the vast majority of women who have their immune systems triggered during

pregnancy

will not have children who develop schizophrenia.

Insel also cites evidence that genetics may play a more dominant role than the

environment in determining who gets schizophrenia: Studies of identical twins

show that

when one child develops schizophrenia, the other has a 50 percent chance of

developing

the disorder, too.

However, some of the increased risk among identical twins may be a result of

maternal

infections during pregnancy -- and not genetics, argues. That's

because those

identical twins who share a common placenta -- and who are, therefore, more

likely to

receive the same maternal cytokines -- seem to have a higher risk of

schizophrenia than

identical twins who do not share a common placenta.

(While the science assigns no blame to mothers for these risks, the long history

of blaming

parents for the disorder suggests it might be useful to note that people's

immune systems

are beyond their control, and pregnant women cannot be held responsible for the

flu-

schizophrenia link.)

E. Fuller Torrey, a Washington psychiatrist with a long interest in

schizophrenia, said the

link between early maternal infections and schizophrenia is strong. He believes

that

infections and immune reactions in young children, not just maternal infections

during

fetal life, might be involved in elevating the risk for schizophrenia.

Animal research conducted by Caltech's along with Carpenter

and

Koenig at the land Psychiatric Research Center at the University of land

appears

to support the theories of Brown and others.

Pregnant rodents given flu infections seem more likely to have offspring that

show some

of the behavioral symptoms of schizophrenia, such as social withdrawal and

anxiety. When

the effect of maternal antibodies is blocked, the offspring do not go on to

develop such

symptoms.

said he also hoped to see new epidemiological studies that

specifically looked at

whether pregnant women given flu shots had offspring with a higher risk of

schizophrenia

than pregnant women who did not receive flu shots.

" It is true that vaccinations do not cause the same degree of immune activation

as an

infection, " he said. " But if you are recommending universal vaccinations for

every woman

who is pregnant, you are asking for increased risk for schizophrenia because

some women

are going to have a very strong reaction. "

What should pregnant women do until useful policy conclusions can be drawn?

Experts say the best bet is probably to stick to official public health

guidelines on the flu

shot, and to try to limit infections and stress during pregnancy.

" I was raised in the Midwest, so I believe the best motto is, 'Everything in

moderation,' "

Koenig said. " Keep your life as well balanced as possible. "

One thing I'm certain of is that the main cause of "schizphrenia" is mercury poisoning, mostly from vacs and amalgams, not to deny that other toxins play a role. If the rate of schiz is associated with seasons this does not mean that flu is causing it - so then, are vac rates uniform throughout the year? Or are there MORE of them in the fall when school is starting, or in the spring when the school year is ending? After years of observations on overlapping symptomalogy, it is clear at least to me that autism, bipolar, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, etc, etc, etc... are actually one and the SAME disorder. Any differences are due to several factors, mostly age, degree and timing of exposures, where interactions with other toxins are important, too. Of course, ANY kind of self inflicted substance abuse will give the MDs an easy way out

and likely worsen the effects of mercury... mean while, seasonal associations can be assumed, but that doesn't mean that April flowers or September leaves cause mental illness...

The flu during pregnancy increases the risk of schizophrenia in the child, but go ahead & recommend the flu shot!!! ugh!!!!http://www.washingt onpost.com/ wp-dyn/content/ article/2007/ 11/23/AR20071123 01327.htmlOver the past several decades, a steady stream of studies has documented that people born in winter and spring have an increased risk for schizophrenia, a serious mental illness characterized by disordered thinking, hallucinations and other psychotic symptoms.Explanations for the increased risk have ranged from the astrological -- different signs of the zodiac have been associated with various mental problems -- to accounts that suggested the risk came from seasonal variations in sunlight.In recent months and years, scientists have developed a different explanation: Studies show the increased risk of

schizophrenia appears linked to maternal infections during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy -- especially flu infections. Since the flu peaks in the fall, this might explain why babies born in the winter and spring have the higher risk.The research is both intriguing and troubling. For one thing, it suggests that the origins of diseases such as schizophrenia might start as early as the womb. Indeed, symptoms of schizophrenia, which typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood and affects about 1 percent of the population, may only be the very last stage in a long process."Often what we see in the form of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and even some of the more neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease [is] the end stage where people show symptoms," said Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health. "The best model is in Parkinson's disease: You don't show

the symptoms until you have lost 80 percent of the neurons in the substantia nigra," an area of the brain that helps produce the neurotransmitter dopamine.But if research into the links between early maternal infections and schizophrenia might one day provide researchers with clues about how to attack the disease before symptoms become apparent, it also raises difficult public health conundrums.That's because the newest studies suggest the culprit may not be infections such as the flu per se, but pregnant mothers' immune reactions to such infections.

I don't see how there could be any doubt... what was alerting me was "sudden" arrival of this mystery death without any serious gov/med concerns about the why of it, but then my chin really dropped when I saw a gov ad on TV for parents of infants to be sure and make them sleep on their side... so, how did babies change their habits or did old habits suddenly get deadly? That was just before I started to hone in on the family maladies that had been plaguing us, and soon pegged them to vaccinations and amalgams... SIDS is caused by the mercury, and "they" know it... similarly, the sudden numerous deaths where parents are charged with shaking their children's heads... I can't say that doesn't happen, but I wasn't surprised to find that toxic reactions cause brain stem injuries and that this is the reason for at least some, maybe a lot

more... didn't parents always shake their infants and kill them, or did that problem just begin? TV influence?
