An Idaho mother who said her 18-month-old twins died last year after receiving three vaccines has been charged with murder in their deaths, officials said last week.

Andrea Shaw, 23, was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her toddlers, Tyson and Dallas, who were found dead in a shared bed on 1 May last year.

Police officers responded to the home in Payette, Idaho, after receiving a report of a possibly deceased child.

“Upon arrival, officers discovered two deceased children, twin siblings, in a shared bed,” Payette police said at the time, adding that the case was being investigated as a homicide.

4. May she rot in prison.

There should be severe penalties for those whose lies have the effect of putting doubt on public health policies.

5. Those poor babies.

Everytime I see a story like this, where parents kill their children, I can't help but think of all those infertile couples who long for children, would love and spoil them. What a sad place our universe can be sometimes.

6. She's lead plaintiff in a suit against the American Academy of Pediatrics about their deaths

For the last year or so, Idaho mom Andrea Shaw has been making the rounds on the anti-vax circuit, telling anyone who will listen that her twin children, Dallas and Tyler, died of “vaccine injuries” after being given the hepatitis A, flu, and DTAP vaccines. She’s even the lead plaintiff in the RFK Jr.-founded Children’s Health Defense’s RICO lawsuit against the American Academy of Pediatrics “for its central role in an enterprise that has defrauded American families about the safety of the childhood vaccine schedule for several decades.”

Yes, they are accusing the AAP of racketeering — of purposely not telling parents that vaccines are dangerous, in order to sell more vaccines. Certainly a strange choice given that doctors frequently lose money on vaccines rather than make money on them, but sure.
