Sudden Tragic Death of a [Vaxxed] Baby from Cardiac Conditions
January 23, 2023
The sudden death of a six-month-old baby from circulatory and cardiac conditions should raise alarms. The baby died ten days after receiving four vaccines. The shots included the new EUA jab. The baby experienced “Shock-associated circulatory or cardiac conditions.” It was an “unexpected death…taking a nap in the afternoon and found pulseless in a crib.”
In addition to the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine, the baby received the following on September 16, 2022, and died on the 26th:
Pediarix (DTAP + HEPB + IPV) from GlaxoSmithKline
FluLaval Seasonal Quadrivalent Influenza from GlaxoSmithKline
PREVNAR13 from Pfizer/Wyeth
RotaTeq (Rotavirus) from Merck (also mRNA)
The baby had an ear infection at the time. We aren’t saying we know that is the case or the vaccine caused it, but we would like it looked into. Certainly, all those shots simultaneously while the baby has an ear infection is concerning. We don’t doubt the doctor followed the government’s recommendations. The sudden death was reported to VAERS on October 15th, and the information was released on January 13th.

Thank you Mark for keeping a tally of these unnecessary deaths. It's not a fun thing to do, and you must be heartbroken with every name you list, but it is vitally important for our cause and for future generations to see. When I read this list, I pray I don't see a name I recognize. I imagine it was the same for the mothers and wives of soldiers during wartime with the casualty lists.
I can’t believe the number of obituaries in my area that list “natural causes” as the death. People in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s all dying from “natural causes”. It has to be a concerted effort to keep people from asking questions. Is anyone else seeing this in their areas?
