Several days ago, I wrote a
blog post related to a story
that had been circulating about baby Thalia Vida Gardner, a beautiful
black-eyed baby girl who, according to people sharing the story, died after a
reaction to twenty vaccines given at once. The blog reveals that Thalia
Vida’s father had a long history of drug abuse and violence and that she was
diagnosed with shaken baby syndrome and opiate overdose at the time of her
death… and that there were, in fact, only four vaccines. I also wrote an
open letter to Thalia's mother.
Since then, I have been relentlessly attacked. I would be more than happy to listen if some of the supporters of Thalia Vida
Gardner’s family could answer a few very simple questions that I have, but,
every time I’ve asked them, I’ve been attacked. In the last three days, I was called a
shill, a bully, a c*nt, a child abuser, a d*ke, a mother*cker, a sociopath, a narcissist, and an *sshole. One person said
she hoped my children died. Another person said that I am incapable of actually
loving my children. Several told me that I am not a real mother because I
adopted my kids (even though I gave birth to both of them and I have no idea where they got that idea).
If you’d like to make your case clear for why and how vaccines killed Thalia
Vida Gardner, it would serve you well to calmly answer these questions—preferably
citing scientifically plausible evidence. Have the answers? Please post them
below.
1. If vaccines killed Thalia Vida Gardner, why is her father asking for $10,000 to prove it, since her cause of death was diagnosed in the hospital and will be
confirmed by the autopsy? If vaccines were her cause of death, the hospital
would have found them to be her cause of death.
2. Thalia Vida Gardner’s mother has posted several places online saying that
her family is being accused of shaking her to death.
Why would the hospital say
she was shaken to death if she was not?
3. Encephalitis, or swelling of the brain, which anti-vaccine activists say
killed Thalia, is easy to accurately diagnose. Any child presenting with the
symptoms Thalia had would have received an EEG, brain imaging, a spinal tap,
and tests of her blood and urine.
Why did none of these tests reveal that she
had encephalitis, if she had it?
4. After her shots but before her hospitalization, Thalia Vida’s aunt
said she was “healthy, happy, and learning to take her first steps,” and her caregiver
Felicia Polard-Philips said she was “100%.” Her mother was going about her life as usual; the family moved and she was
taking selfies. If she was horribly sick for the
entirety of those eight days, why would two people who cared for her say that
she was well, and why did the family continue with their day-to-day life?
5. A diagnosis can only be made by a medical expert, usually an MD.
In what was
are Katie Coyne, the anti-vaccine activist who started spreading Thalia’s
story,
and Tyler Justin Gardner, Thalia’s father who has never been able to
write a coherent sentence,
qualified to diagnose Thalia’s alleged vaccine
reaction?
6. What imaging, lab tests, and exams did Thalia Vida’s father perform in order
to diagnose her with encephalitis? Encephalitis is a rather specific diagnosis and, to arrive at it, the characteristic symptoms have to be present. A positive spinal tap and red-flag blood-work, in addition to neurological symptoms, would have been necessary to arrive at that diagnosis.
7. If Thalia Vida’s father is more qualified to make a medical diagnosis than
the medical doctors who treated her,
does that mean that he never takes himself
or his children to the doctor, and diagnoses himself instead?
8. Thalia Vida’s father posted on our blog stating that her brain was “swelling
and bleeding” because of vaccines between her immunization and her
hospitalization.
Symptoms of these conditions include loss of motor skills
(like no longer being able to sit or stand), loss of balance, fainting, vomiting,
screaming, lethargy, confusion, high fever, aversion to light, a limp body, and
a bulging soft spot.
Why did Thalia have no symptoms of either of these
conditions in these photos with her aunt, and how was she gaining new motor
skills during a time that her motor skills would have rapidly declined?
9. Although
he stated in one post that he doesn’t believe that “anyone with any
care in them could shake her to death.” (Funny that he includes “to death,” as
if shaking her would have been okay as long as she didn’t die.) And yet this
man has a
documented criminal history that includes battery and domestic
violence.
Why should we believe that someone who is capable of battering his
wife, is not also capable of hurting his child?
10. If there has in fact been a massive conspiracy to hide that Thalia died of
vaccine-related encephalitis,
how did dozens of people with no connection to
one another orchestrate this? Do cover up an actual case of encephalitis, it would
require that everyone from the nurse who checked her temperature, to the paramedics
who first arrived on the scene, to the secretary at the lab that processed her
blood work, all agree to the same lie. This is not possible.
11. Thalia Vida’s father has stated repeatedly that the opiates found in Thalia’s
blood stream were caused by an antidote given to her by paramedics who (for apparently
no conceivable reason) misdiagnosed her with opiate overdose. Naxolone
does not cause a positive opiate test, so this could not have caused her to test
positive at the hospital.
What caused Thalia Vida to test positive for
opiates?
12. To those of you who have tweaked, twisted, altered, and cherry-picked the
details of Thalia Vida’s death to promote your stance against vaccines: you are
sick people for preying on a grieving mother and a culture of paranoid parents
in order to promote your dangerous agenda.
How do you look at yourself in the
mirror?
