Brayden died suddenly at 23. His mum had no idea a vaccine could have saved his life
September 21, 2023
Stacey Chater initially had no idea what caused the sudden death of her active 23-year-old son. After Brayden celebrated his work Christmas party last year, she found him having a fit in his bedroom. Within hours, doctors told her that her son was brain dead and he died the next day. It was not until the following week that she got a call informing her that her son had had meningococcal. "I said, 'well he was immunised for meningococcal'," remembering the immunisations her children had received when they were younger. "They said 'no, actually there's a B strain which is a different vaccination'," Chater said. "It was then we found out you’ve got to ask for that vaccination and you have to pay for it." Chater said it was hard knowing there was a vaccine Brayden could have had that would have prevented his death.
Sam Taylor, 42, died suddenly in his sleep on October 6; his family will scatter his ashes in fireworks
September 20, 2023
The family of a bubbly Rockingham man will look to the heavens next month as they ensure their loved one goes out with a bang when they send him off in a fireworks display. Sam Taylor passed away in his sleep aged just 42 in March this year. Sam spent 20 years with Rockingham Theatre Company, and the theatre was where the family held his funeral service in April, which was dubbed his “final performance”. For $10,000, Cardile Fireworks will put on a seven to eight-minute display at Rockingham Yacht Club on October 6. Before he died, Sam hadn’t shared his funeral plans with his brother. “Sam never expressed a desire for his ashes to be used in fireworks,” Michael said. “But it’s probably not something one discusses at our age either, thinking you still have 40 to 50 years before thinking about those plans.”

Alexandra couple's search for answers after baby dies
September 20, 2023
Alexandra - A Central Otago couple are desperate for answers after their baby boy - the result of a harrowing five-year IVF journey - died two hours after he was born despite a perfectly healthy pregnancy and labour. Jenay Berg and Aaron Hilton spent five years trying to conceive and found out on Christmas Day they were finally pregnant. Their son Kyson was born on September 6 - his due date - at 2.06 am. Berg’s pregnancy had been healthy and without complication and while her labour was long and hard, she was monitored throughout and nothing was amiss. But when her baby was placed on her chest he did not cry or move. “I don’t think anyone in that room thought there was anything wrong with him until he didn’t cry,” Berg told the Herald. Staff rubbed Kyson’s chest and legs but he did not respond. “I saw him open his eyes and move his mouth a little bit and then they cut the cord and took [him] straight over to the table,” said Hilton. Specialists soon converged on the room and the couple watched as they all worked on Kyson. “Everyone was working on him for 45 minutes… No one would say anything to us - there was one lady that kind of tried to reassure me, but no one else would really look me in the eye or say anything because I just think everyone in the room was just as shocked,” said Berg, who was also undergoing a post-delivery procedure at the time. It was the longest 45 minutes of our lives.” Then they came over and told us he didn’t make it,” said Hilton. The Alexandra couple have no idea why their son died. They are awaiting information from the Coroner and a post-mortem examination

In one case in Australia, apparently dying suddenly or unexpectedly is due to not paying more money to the pharmaceutical manufacturers to be innoculated with more "protection" via different "vaccines". Good grief.
There are many in Australia that still currently have to have vaccines to keep their job, most health care workers in Victoria do: https://www.health.vic.gov.au/immunisation/vaccination-for-healthcare-workers. So Dr Boyle Chiropractor would still have been vaxed in able to keep her practice going.
