Guest guest Posted June 30, 2001 Report Share Posted June 30, 2001 I know first hand about the VAERS farce. I know you've heard this before, but feel free to pass it on where ever you have the chance along with my e-mail address, name, and everything. Devan, at the time was four months old, and in great health born full term weighing almost 9 lbs and I had no problems during pregnancy or delivery. He was growing so fast and so well he was sitting up in his crib at that time. Sixteen hours after his shots he had an hour and ten minute seizure that was incredibly hard to get control of. It left him with brain damage and a seizure disorder causing these incredibly long lasting seizures every two to four weeks for the first two years of his life and then once every couple of months until his last year when he only had one at the end of an 11 month sz free time. The last time was 2 hours and left him so brain damaged that as his brain calcified, he slowly died a very painful death 8 weeks later. VAERS/Vaccine Injury Compensation Program denied our claim ONLY BECAUSE he did not have a fever with his first seizure. He did with all the others. The only difference was that because we were going to get him shots that day, on my pediatrician's suggestion, I gave him Tylenol around the clock every four hours from 2 hours before his Dr. appt. until I found him seizing at 5 am. All the doctors were willing to say that he may have spiked a fever and it came down before they took his temp at the hospital, but I DIDN'T THINK TO TAKE IT WHILE HE WAS SEIZING!! It never occurred to me that since he felt rather warm, I should see exactly how high his temperature was in case we needed it in a court of law to prove a vaccine reaction!!! My thought was that since the pamphlet from the manufacturer specifically stated 'long lasting seizures (over 30 minutes in duration)' as a reaction, that it in no way suggested I could be compensated from the government. So now my little dark haired, blue eyed boy is dead, I know the truth, you know the truth, anyone with logic knows the truth, but a legal loophole saves the government from having to accept that truth. So you tell those people who rely on those safe guards what I said. You know why? Because I trusted, I read the literature, I knew the risk, I took the risk for the sake of our 'society' as I was told how to be a good mom, and when my son gave his life for the sake of HIS country and I sacrificed MY son for the 'good of all' as I understood it....He is NOT acknowledged as the hero and martyr that he was. Someone needs to understand that and I hope I have made my point. I believed in being a good mom and I took the risk, and they betrayed me and left me with medical bills, hospital bills, and funeral expenses. And a grave to visit.
