I am completely devasted as are my wife and son, Cameron. Last month, on 5th May our daughter Anna, aged only 17 months, was injected with 3 live virus; Mumps, Measles and Rubella in the form of the MMR jab. 10 days later she was dead. We are completely overwhelmed by grief because she was just so sweet and she had everything going for her. She loved music and could dance and she enchanted so many people with her smile. She loved animals and would mimic their sounds and even had a number of choice words. We attended church and she was adored by all, even when she tried to take over the sermon, to our slight embarressment. Oh!, how we miss Anna; the cuddles and giggles and playing with brother, Cameron, whom she looked up to and adored. Cameron knew she was a special little sister and now that bond that we hoped would last a lifetime has completely shattered. He cannot understand how such a happy, healthy and robust sister can be taken in her sleep. It is clear to us and many others that ANNA's death was not an act of God but man's own bungling ineptitude at trying to play God whilst reaping financial returns.
This sinister scenario that has enveloped our lives and destoyed Anna's and is happening to many other children must be recognised. We now know too late that the MMR vaccination is just not worth the risk. The risks of MMR damage to your child far outweigh the benefits. If Anna can help you make up your mind please think of Anna as your child grows up healthy, strong and free from damage with the likelihood of a natural exposure to these viruses creating a far stronger and longer lasting immunity. A healthy nourished child should not sucumb to such illnesses. |

| In light of what has happened in Vietnam. I am at pains to understand WHY the british government have not responded in the same manner as the Vietnamese. ie Immediately Withdrawing MMR Vaccinations after the death of an innocent child |

Loui, thankyou for showing concern on this issue of which I have been investigating, as a duty to Anna, to find answers.
Regarding our daughter's MMR vaccine. It was a Priorix MMR, produced by GlaxoSmithKline in Belgium, with a batch number of A69CA375A, I have found out that the batch number involved in Vietnam is A70CA364A, this is very similar and a serious cause for concern. The Vietnamese have banned this vaccination after six infants were hospitalized in critical condition and sadly one died. I just hope that the UK Government has banned it also. One would expect them to in these circumstances.
Should any parent still want to go ahead with the MMR vaccination, they must ask the health practice that administers the MMR vaccination for the information sheet that is provided. Had we known of the severity of the reactions mentioned on it, we would have had a better chance of saving Anna. Spots, fever, fits and seizures are just a few of the symptoms to watch out for. When to seek medical help is also there. WHY OH WHY is all this such a big secret!!!! |

Thankyou all for thoughts of Anna and I can assure you she meant alot to people who knew her.
Just got a letter in from the Vaccine Damage Payment Unit at the Department of Work and Pensions.
Claims can only be considered once a child reaches two years of age.
Anna died at 17 months old. No wonder there is such pressure on parents by the UK Government to get their children vaccinated before the age of two.
As for the Patients Yellow Card we sent into the MHRA, which covers any suspect medications including vaccinations, there has not even been an acknowledgement. The MHRA website now makes it very difficult(impossible) to submiit a yellow card in the light of vaccination damage submissions. You can try yourself at: http://www.mhra.gov.uk/home/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=276
Good luck in finding the form, I can not find it again. |

| I realise that anything I write will not make up for your loss, but may I suggest that you write to GlaxosmithKline (GSK)immediately if you haven't yet. They are required by law to keep your complaint/problem 'logged' especially one as serious as the death of your daughter Anna. The MHRA are unlikely to pass on your concerns/report to GSK. If you do it yourself then you will be sure that GSK have a record of what happened to your daughter and GSK are obliged to keep it indefinitely on their recording system. In this way, GSK will never be able to claim that no-one has reported a death due to this MMR vaccine. They will have to say that you claim that their product caused your daughter's death. You have the right to have your claim logged for the record. E-mail me if you need further advice. |

I read your moving account account of the death of your daughter Anna, and I want to extend my sympathy and condolescences to you and your family. And I'm sorry that the bureaucracy is being so unhelpful.
I checked the website, and I think I found what you want, but they also say that the online reporting isn't working!
You press 'online services' then press 'medicine' then press 'reporting suspected adverse drug reactions' then indicate that you're a patient or parent, which takes you to
http://www.mhra.gov.uk/home/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=755
Then you press 'Patient Yellow Card online form... and you're told that the online form isn't working, so you probably have go back to the previous page I've just given the reference for and print out the form, which is the second option. The form is at:

I tried your link Confused and it does take you to the Patients Yellow Card pdf which you can download, printout, fill in and send off to the MHRA. Condolences much appreciated by our family.
Thankyou Laura for your advice, I have now sent a letter to inform GlaxoSmithKline of the circumstances surrounding Anna's death and that they should accept the blame and withdraw the Priorix MMR vaccine in the UK. This would show they have leadership and can make brave decisions for the sake of mankind.
Anna's loss is very hard to take. Remembering all the good times is essential but it is very hard because the memories are so tangible and you want to reach out, pick her up and never let her go again.
But she is not there, she has gone!
We do not expect to be refused legal aid.

| The dreadful loss of your child has already sparked the strength in you to do something to prevent this happening to other beautiful babies, a motivation many of us parents before you have tried. Our son has severe autism is nine unable to speak or understand, still in nappies. In his life I can never envisage him being able to walk down a street on his own or gain many of the skills we humans should take for granted.....my heart is broken....but this damage has given me a will to do as much as I can so this injustice stops....though at least the cuddles I can still have are there, sometimes, and for that I am endlessly grateful, appreciating fully your dreadful experience. Our critics (who usually have not even HAD a child they watched change in front of their eyes following the MMR) think we are merely hysterical anti-vaccine types...forgetting we GAVE our children the shots in our innocence taking their expert advice stating it was perfectly safe to do so against the three 'deadly?' diseases...how wrong they are...yet reputations and huge profits are at stake, coming way before our children's safety...they abandon us infuriatingly at the point of damage. Life - without rhyme nor reason can throw the most dreadful things at us and it's how we react that will make the difference....for the sake of the children shout your experience from the rooftops if you can bear it....and if you save one other child from this fate it will have been worth it but of course they will never know as they go through life able to function as they should....all because of you, the wisdom of experience and hindsight and your beautiful little daughter Anna. My sincerest condolences. |

With the Priorix MMR vaccine produced by GlaxoSmithKline, being complicit in Anna’s death, doubts have been cast in our minds, through many other frustrating experiences, on the fairness of proceedings. This large Pharmaceutical is adept at avoiding being held directly responsible for any problem associated with a vaccine. GlaxoSmithKline and the government appear to be in cohorts in a determined effort not to admit to defects in the MMR vaccine program and they are using legislation to deflect potential legal challenges. This is a very unhealthy state of affairs and is opening the door on an international stage for Britain to be ridiculed, if as expected, the rise in vaccine suspected illness and death continue to a untenable level resulting in total captitulation.
Please lets not forget our children....the future, they need the best start in life we can give them and the MMR vaccine is certainly not the best option. Children should be allowed to develop at nature's pace and not that determined by bogus corporate soothsayers with their selfunded trials and blatent ministerial financial inducements .....for what? short term profit perhaps!
Should we be in awe that they have managed to tame those grandiose killers, measles mumps and rubella and put them in vials to inject them into our children so that they can develop superior defence immunity (not true)?
We are not impressed, in fact they have managed to turn around a relatively harmless bunch of viruses, to the well nourished and cared for child, and manipulated them into a cohesive force that not only damages children but now we know can kill without mercy.
Longer term consequences are now starting to unfold. |

| I think it's about time we all laid into a serious support group for Wakefield. His science is not in question but the GMC are querying whether he was in it for the money...£55,000 (surely his reputation and all these children are worth more than that!) Getting his study published in the Lancet means it passed the approval of the Editor - why change tack? What's their motivation? Inadequately founded research...it has been replicated by many others now, what nonsense! The children were given colonscopies, having been referred to Wakefield an eminent gastroenterologist, by their GP's. If doctors have found problems in these kids - is it now an offence to investigate an ill person if their problem is your field of expertise? Are the GMC going to charge other scientists too on the sayso of a (medically unqualified) journalist from the Sunday Times. Perhaps they hope he will do 'a David Kelly' and save all their reputations. I thought no other person was to be hounded like that poor man was but here they are again! As long as we have incompetence at the very highest level, people like Sir Liam Donaldson, Chief Medical Officer, who advises us on matters medical without any of the necessary medical qualifications (he is a Professor of History) then vaccine policy will forever be in doubt./ This is a huge scandal at the expense of our children....I have paid the price, my son is severely autistic following his MMR....I do not want to see those who are out of their depth on this involved any more....the man should resign his post and publicly apologise to Wakefield for ruining a fine British career. The GMC and Health Dept. are making fools of themselves. |

Sadly, the whole "health care" field has become a corporate greed-fest, heavily politicised and awash with misinformation. This is not a conspiracy, merely a sad truth. The vaccination issues fall slap-bang into this sorry state of affairs. Various Departments of Health, the medical profession and regulatory bodies have jumped in bed with the pharmaceutical industry and there are massive conflicts of interest and lack of true independence. Everyone seems to have their hands in the cookie jar - apart from the patient (in the case of vaccinations the patient is a healthy baby/child). Frankly, the whole thing stinks.
The medical "experts" and medical negligence lawyers are also feeding at the same trough. When my child was left with crippling complications following negligent medical treatment I could not find one single medical consultant in this country to offer an honest account of what had happened or one single medical "expert" to write a truthful report. Not a conspiracy, just an incredibly depressing reflection on the state of medical ethics in this country. This is the reality of what parents with children damaged by vaccines are up against. |
