's heartwrenching story made the front page of The Spokesman-Review

newspaper on December 22, 2007, with the provocative headline, " Did vaccines

kill? "

The headline shook up many residents here as they prepared for Christmas with

their families. The story highlighted 's shock when she discovered her son

Vance in his crib unresponsive and limp. Blood was crusted under his eyes and a

bloody foam was coming from his mouth onto the blanket lying beside him.The

following is from The Spokesman-Review story:

" My baby was so healthy, " said , 39, of Hayden. " He was extremely

full of life, energy and vitality.

" In the early morning of Sept. 15, less than three days after Vance Vernon

received a round of vaccines at Lakeside Pediatric and Adolescent

Medicine in Coeur d'Alene, his mother awoke to a parent's worst nightmare. " It

was about 5:15 a.m. I woke up and thought, 'He's not making any noise!' "

recalled. " I went to pick him up and then I screamed.

" Her 16 1/2-pound boy was warm and his lips were still pink, but he wasn't

moving. Blood was crusted beneath his eyes and his clothes and toys were covered

with a bloody froth. As her husband, , 46, called 911, worked

frantically to resuscitate their child. But in the emergency room at Kootenai

Medical Center, doctors said Vance had been dead for several hours. "

The proud parents

and had waited several years to have their first child. They

were proud and doting parents who were absolutely thrilled with each

developmental milestone Vance achieved.

had worked for many years at Pilgrim's, a local health food store. Over

the years, many well-meaning customers had exposed her to the vaccine

controversy, but it never dawned on her that vaccines could actually be deadly

and wouldn't necessarily protect her son from infectious diseases.

The s were planning a trip to Mexico in October so she got a passport for

Vance, the youngest child to receive a passport in 2007, according to .

Naturally, the s reasoned, receiving " protective " vaccines would be

important while traveling to a country having a lower standard of living than

Americans are used to.

A visit to the " doctor "

Vance received a shot of Pediarix, a 5-in-1 shot for diphtheria, tetanus,

pertussis, hepatitis B and polio; a shot of Prevnar, seven pneumococcal viruses

plus diphtheria toxoid and; Rotateq, the new rotavirus vaccine given orally and

containing four viruses associated with infant diarrhea. That adds up to 19

different pathogens given to a four-month-old infant in less than 15 minutes

when you consider that Pediarix contains three polio strains.

" It was the vaccines, wasn't it? "

When and were in the emergency room still in a state of shock,

blurted out, " It was the vaccines, wasn't it? Was this from the damn

vaccines? "

When her desperate plea for confirmation was met with denial and attempts to

comfort her, a seed was planted that has since grown into a force that has

become public health's worse nightmare - more and more parents speaking out as a

result of their own tragic experience with the devastation caused by vaccines.

The Vaccination Debate

KXLY, a Spokane television station, publicized its airing of " The Vaccination

Debate " for a week prior to the February 5, 2008, short, five-minute news

broadcast in which 's tragic experience was highlighted.

News reporter Kalae Chock interviewed , their attorney in Virginia,

Terzian, who filed their case with the national Vaccine Injury Compensation

Program and Spokane pediatrician Bob Maixner. The Vaccination Debate was aired

on the morning news, evening news and late evening news that day and is still

posted for viewing online.

Leading up to the showing of this news segment, Kalae Chock, also a new mom, had

added Vaccination Debate segments to her ongoing internet blog. As of this

writing, there are nine Vaccination Debate blog spots that have allowed

concerned parents and others to voice their opinions in an open forum. For many

parents, having this forum provided by our local news station is BIG news.

" stated the following on the blog: " Kalae, you took a very controversial

subject and did a wonderful job showing both sides. Giving your children shots

is not so cut and dried as we are led to believe. 23 years ago when my child had

her first shots, I was a young mom that didn't know very much. I didn't know

that my baby was having a seizure. My mom had to tell me that babies don't

usually roll their eyes like that and shake. I was so angry and scared that my

baby might not be okay. Luckily, she is, but I wish I had known the most

important thing: I had a choice. I didn't have to have her go through that. The

'authorities' make parents think it is mandatory and the law that your kids have

to have shots. I hope that every parent that saw your series will realize that

they do have a choice, a personal choice that does not have to be defended to

anyone. I wish the slogan would be 'Shots: Your child, Your choice.'

" Great job and thank you! "

Kalae Chock's ninth blog on Vaccination Debate states that the original purpose

for the Vaccination Debate report was " to share 's story and to

explain the government's compensation program for vaccine related deaths and

injuries. "

It is clear from her comments that she had no idea how controversial the vaccine

topic had become.

In the meantime, is one mom on a mission - sharing her story as a

means of alerting other moms to the real dangers inherent in all vaccines. She

has made several copies of an article by Dr. Tedd Koren, " Crib Death or Vaccine

Death? " in which he cites that SIDS is the second most common cause of infant

death with 10,000 deaths annually. On top of the article she has links to the

FDA warning on the intravenous use of vitamin K injections for newborns followed

by a link to Vaccination Liberation's Model Birth Plan letter.

Following this article she presents information on the national Vaccine Injury

Compensation Program. Her cover sheet has a picture of Vance followed by a quote

from Scripture (Ephesians 3:17-19) and a short summary of her story.

writes, " I hope and pray that this tragedy never occurs in your family.

With the knowledge I have acquired since his death I can firmly say that I will

never vaccinate a child under the age of 24 months again, if at all. I lacked

knowledge to make the best choice. I hope this empowers you to combat the

darkness and seek the knowledge necessary to make the best decision. "

We second 's sentiments and pray that people will " investigate before they

vaccinate " since the only " informed " choice is complete avoidance and refusal.

We are extremely grateful for for taking the tragic loss of her

only child and sharing what she has learned with others, passionately and

publicly.

Autism is 1 in 150 children today and it's impossible to have a genetic

epidemic!

Please learn from our mistake and educate BEFORE you vaccinate!
