Keith's Story. The Fallacy of Clinical Trials.
The clinical trial that promised increased medical attention nearly killed Keith at six months of age.
Note from Marcella: This is a very important story, which every parent needs to read. Serious adverse reactions are hidden from clinical trial outcomes, and this fact means the “safety data” is skewed in favor of the vaccine makers. When it comes to the safety of what’s being injected into your tiny baby, you need the data to be real, true, and trust-worthy. When information about serious adverse reactions is hidden, we cannot trust. Period. Please see the end of this article for more information on the clinical trials, and where to find this information.
Keith's story is shared by his mother, Deb.
Flashback 1987. I honestly knew nothing about vaccines. In prenatal class they simply said - make sure you take your baby for their shots. We were young parents and trusting and there was no Facebook or easy internet access to information back then.
1984 I miscarried at 14 weeks. 1985, our daughter died at 5 days old from a birth defect. We went for genetic testing and were told there was nothing indicating any reason to not have another.
1986 I got pregnant for the third time and we were so nervous.
We were prepared to do anything to keep this baby safe.
I believe our paediatrician, who was not much older than us, knew that, and played on our emotions when he encouraged us to participate in a vaccine clinical trial. Repeatedly saying that our son had a 50/50 chance to get the new, safer acellular pertussis vaccine. Of course, we agreed to enter a vaccine study. We didn't think to question why they were calling it safer even before the study started. We just heard safer and wanted it.
We didn't think. We trusted.
We were told that our child would be "followed" by a nurse during all 5 shots at 2-4-6-12-18 months. “Don’t you want that?” he asked. The peace of mind of additional medical attention.
We were young, naïve and trusting.
We would not be told which vaccine our child received.
We were NOT told that IF; for any reason, our child did not get ALL the shots, then our child was dropped from the results.
Do you understand what that means? How that single allowed action in the trial affects the outcome?? Only those children that survive are in the final results. Convenient, yes?!? Don’t count the reactions. Boom!!! Perfect results.
And I found out decades later, any child that does have a reaction while in a trial won't ever be reported anywhere as an adverse reaction, because they were IN a clinical trial!
In hindsight we realize, there were warning signs at the 2 and 4 month shots as well: excessive sleepiness, large red hard swelling at the injection site. High temp, screaming. The study nurse assured us this was completely normal. Did I mention we were young, naïve and trusting?
And then it happened...
The third shot...
Our son had a near fatal reaction to his 6-month [DTaP] shot.
Seizures.
Small infantile spasms started on day four after the shot and escalated quickly.
We got lucky, our young paediatrician sent us to the ER, and arranged for a neurologist to see our child immediately. That Doctor; the paediatric neurologist kept us in hospital for 10 days and saved our son's life.
Later in a follow appointment he said to us… you got lucky because stopping those seizures is rarely this successful and [he advised us] to never, ever allow another vaccine ever! Not for him. Not for any future children we have. Not for our children’s children.
At 2 years old we were still dealing with the fall out of Keith’s reaction, and the side effects from the drug that saved him; when we received a letter from the study nurse stating that the trial was 100% successful.
WTF?? How? Not possible.... Our child nearly died and was still having issues. I called the nurse in charge of the study, and she stammered a bit and finally admitted that we should not have received that letter. After much persistence I found out about the preset parameters to exclude any children that started the study but do not complete it. I also found out 130 kids started and less than 90 finished. But the rules allowed them to publish this as 100% success.
I badgered the nurse until she told me which one my son got.
Drum roll…
The new safer acellular pertussis. The one that was now past the clinical trials and being given to all babies.
I will never ever trust a reported study again unless I know the exact engineering of the study.
I started to ask many questions:
There is no other drug that has a one size fits all dosage... Why does a vaccine?
If vaccines protect, then only the unvaxed should be at risk?
If vaccines are not doing damage, then why has the US government and the province of Quebec established a compensation fund to pay those who are injured? Why has that US fund paid out billions if vaccines are safe. Why has the government made laws to protect vaccine manufacturers from all liability?
Toronto Sick Kids hospital and John Hopkins Hospital successfully do non-matching blood type organ transplants in children up to a year old. How? Good question! According to the surgeon who pioneered this, it’s, "because it’s been proven that an infant’s immune system is too immature to identify the non-matching blood type as a threat.”
When I was watching the interview, I am thinking … fantastic! Now doctors will have to question the validity of infant shots. Nope. Nothing changed. No one blinked.
I have more questions.
Do we have 2 different immune systems in our bodies? One that is so immature that it does not react to a foreign blood type and another that will identify and react to a vaccine?
Japan has a massive population and one of the most relaxed vaccine schedules in the world. They prefer to delay vaccination until the age of 2! They give far less types of vaccines and do very few combined dosages, I don't see any news reports of mass outbreaks and deaths in Japan.
I am no longer young. No longer naïve. No longer trusting.

From Marcella: The following images were taken this morning (February 17, 2024) from vaccine manufacturer’s inserts for DTaP vaccines currently licensed by the FDA for use in the United States.
In the clinical trials for INFANRIX, 335 infants started the study with dose one at 2 months. Twelve infants who got dose one left the study after that, and the number for dose 2 was 323. By the time they got to dose 3, twenty infants had left the study. This is called attrition. What happened to the twenty babies who did not complete the study? This is never explained. We know their parents were not anti-vaxxers or they wouldn’t have signed up in the first place. Did those 20 babies have significant adverse reactions, including death? We don’t know. And the makers aren’t telling. Until the makers tell us what happened to those twenty babies, we need to assume they left the study because of serious reactions. Twenty babies out of 335 is a rate of 5.97%, or about 1 in 16. If I were a vaccinating parent, the information I would take away from this is, the chance of something serious happening, that would make even the most hard-core pro-vax parents stop vaccinating with INFANRIX is 1 in 16. Not one in a million.
In the DAPTACEL clinical trials, there were 2,587 infants enrolled and all of them received dose one at 2 months of age. For dose 2, given at 4 months of age, that number was reduced by 24, with an N (for Number of participants in the study) of 2,563. By the third dose, given at six months, the total number of participants was 2,549. They “lost” 38 babies to attrition. Again, the parents of those 38 babies were not anti-vaxxers. Something happened to cause them to remove their babies from the study. Until we know otherwise, we need to assume they were removed due to serious adverse reactions, including death. Thirty-eight is 1.47% of 2,587. That translates to a 3:200 ratio. As a vaccinating parent, what I would need to understand is that according to their own data, until I know what happened to those 38 babies, I need to assume that the rate of serious adverse reactions to DAPTACEL is 3 in 200. Not one in a million.
Please. Do not just follow orders. Read the manufacturer’s inserts.
Read them like your child’s life depends on it.
Because it does.
“You cannot be in the presence of a profoundly vaccine damaged child and not know that child could be your own. And you cannot try to comfort a mother who has just buried a baby who has died from a vaccine … and not know that you could be the one standing over the grave. When it happens to your child, the risks are 100 percent.”

Thank you so much for sharing this heartbreaking story. I have family members I am trying to awaken-it is shocking how deeply asleep they are. Rip Van Winkles all, they do NOT want to hear it. 💔
