    Girl, five, dies from a strain of the flu she was vaccinated against as deadly epidemic continues to sweep across the US

    By Sophie Jane Evans

    A five-year-old girl has died in hospital three days after developing a strain of the flu that she was vaccinated against - as a deadly outbreak of the virus continues to sweep across the country.

    Keira Driscoll was prescribed steroids and a nebulizer at a Quick Care clinic after she started feeling unwell with a cough and a fever at her home in Clark County, Las Vegas, last Sunday.

    But just hours later, she collapsed. Her mother, Tiffany Driscoll, frantically performed CPR on her small body, before she was rushed to hospital. There, she was found to have influenza A.

    Despite medics' best efforts, Keira could not be resuscitated and she was placed on life support. On Tuesday, her parents made the heartbreaking decision to turn off the machine the next day.


    Tragic: Keira Driscoll, from Clark County, Las Vegas, has died in hospital three days after developing a strain of the flu that she was vaccinated against, her family has announced. Above, the five-year-old in a school photo

    However, Keira died before the machine would have been switched off after suffering from a cardiac arrest. She was surrounded by her mother, father, Peter Driscoll, and other relatives at the time.

    The youngster is the fourth child in the Nevada-based county - and the 56th nationwide - to have died from the flu in the past few months as vaccines have proved largely ineffective.

    There, she was found to have influenza A.
    There are many different variations of Influenza A- it does not say which one she had (the current flu vaccine is supposed to cover two of them).

    All of the 2014-2015 influenza vaccine is made to protect against the following three viruses:

    an A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus
    an A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2)-like virus
    a B/Massachusetts/2/2012-like virus.
    Some of the 2014-2015 flu vaccine also protects against an additional B virus (B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus).
    http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/...-2014-2015.htm

    It is possible she got a type not included in the vaccine.

    http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/viruses/types.htm

    Influenza A viruses are divided into subtypes based on two proteins on the surface of the virus: the hemagglutinin (H) and the neuraminidase (N). There are 18 different hemagglutinin subtypes and 11 different neuraminidase subtypes. (H1 through H18 and N1 through N11 respectively.)

    Influenza A viruses can be further broken down into different strains. Current subtypes of influenza A viruses found in people are influenza A (H1N1) and influenza A (H3N2) viruses. In the spring of 2009, a new influenza A (H1N1) virus (CDC 2009 H1N1 Flu website) emerged to cause illness in people. This virus was very different from the human influenza A (H1N1) viruses circulating at that time. The new virus caused the first influenza pandemic in more than 40 years. That virus (often called “2009 H1N1”) has now replaced the H1N1 virus that was previously circulating in humans.

    Influenza B viruses are not divided into subtypes, but can be further broken down into lineages and strains. Currently circulating influenza B viruses belong to one of two lineages: B/Yamagata and B/Victoria.
    Influenza A (H1N1), A (H3N2), and one or two influenza B viruses (depending on the vaccine) are included in each year’s influenza vaccine. Getting a flu vaccine can protect against flu viruses that are the same or related to the viruses in the vaccine. Information about this season’s vaccine can be found at Preventing Seasonal Flu with Vaccination. The seasonal flu vaccine does not protect against influenza C viruses. In addition, flu vaccines will NOT protect against infection and illness caused by other viruses that also can cause influenza-like symptoms. There are many other non-flu viruses that can result in influenza-like illness (ILI) that spread during flu season.

    5-year-old Las Vegas girl dies from flu despite receiving vaccination

    A 5-year-old Las Vegas girl died Tuesday after coming down with a strain of the flu that she had been vaccinated against earlier this year, FOX5 Vegas reported.

    The Clark County Coroner’s Official determined Kiera Driscoll died from cardiac arrest due to influenza A. Her father, Patrick, told FOX5 Vegas that she had developed a cough and fever Sunday before being prescribed steroids and a nebulizer on Monday. Kiera later collapsed, and paramedics were unable to revive her.

    Patrick told the station that his daughter had received a flu shot, with her doctors confirming that she had contracted the same strain that she had been vaccinated against.


    “She was healthy Friday. Sunday in the evening, her mother noticed that she was getting ill,” Laurel Beckstead, Kiera’s aunt told FOX5 Vegas.

    Southern Nevada Health District spokeswoman told the news station that there have been six flu-related deaths in Clark County this season. Four of the deaths were children.

    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), at least 56 children in 23 states have died from the flu since Sept. 28. The CDC warned in December that the current flu vaccine available may not be a good match for the most common strain circulating in the U.S.

    The CDC issued an advisory to doctors noting that flu virus samples the agency took from Oct. 1 through Nov. 22 showed that just under half were a good match for the current influenza A component contained in flu shots for the 2014-2015 season, suggesting the virus had drifted.

    In past seasons when the influenza A strain had mutated from the vaccine strain, flu shots were less effective. Flu seasons dominated by influenza A strains tend to have higher overall hospitalization rates and more flu-related deaths, especially among older people and very young children, according to Reuters.

    The CDC said the flu shots may still offer some protection against drifted viruses, which could help reduce the risk of the most severe complications of the flu.

    It is a bit odd.

    For the past five years, at least, it seemed that the "news" would constantly over blow how virulent and widespread the flu was every fall and then report that vaccines were in short supply. It always struck me as free advertising. They didn't seem to do it this flu season.

    the CDC reported last week that more than three quarters of people who had the injection - which contains strains of influenza A - this year will get the virus anyway.

    Usually they tell us it protects about 50% of the time, and even if you do get it - it is a milder case. In this case they're saying it actually performs less than 25% of the time! And as this article shows, she didn't exactly get a milder case - now DID SHE?

    Good question-- I am sure they didn't help the issue. If it was corticosteroids, it will suppress the immune system.

    And yet you remain oblivious to the obvious concerns this should be raising on the matter of taking such vaccinations? If this were a building fire, it would be a four-alarm, fully engulfed fire, yet there would be you standing from the fourth floor window waving hello, howdy, y’all, hi.

    And the vaccine may only dose for a few of them, so ultimately taking the vaccine is moot as it is pointless—the larger concerns over its toxic, synthetic compounds aside.

    What are those toxic synthetic compounds? How many die each year from them (or from vaccines) vs how many die from the flu?

  25. #22
    Synthetic compounds are bad mmkay.
    In New Zealand:
    The Coastguard is a Charity
    Air Traffic Control is a private company run on user fees
    The DMV is a private non-profit
    Rescue helicopters and ambulances are operated by charities and are plastered with corporate logos
    The agriculture industry has zero subsidies
    5% of the national vote, gets you 5 seats in Parliament
    A tax return has 4 fields
    Business licenses aren't a thing
    Prostitution is legal
    We have a constitutional right to refuse any type of medical care

  26. #23
    What synthetic chemical compounds are in vaccines?

    The formaldehyde (a few molecules left after cleaning equipment) is natural and manufactured in the cells of your body (and nearly all other plants and animals as well)? It is important for utilization of proteins by the body. The body also easily eliminates excess. Formaldehyde can be dangerous to the lungs if inhaled in large amounts though. That is where one finds toxicity from formaldehyde.

    Mercury found in thimerosal? First- it is not even in vaccines intended for children. Second, in the couple of vaccines which do have it in (such as multi- use flu vaccines) - amounts are too small to be of any consequence and that organic form of mercury (ethyl mercury- which is not synthetic) has a half life in the body of seven days- which means the body gets rid of half of it within a week so it does not bioaccumulate. Methyl mercury (the kind from chemical pollution and the one found in things like tuna fish) is more toxic. But if you want a flu vaccine without it you can get that.

    This is childish. A girl died and you are like hyenas looking to post your talking points. If you can't convince people without a tragedy in the background you won't be able to convince them with one there.

    Most people discount inflammatory not mainstream arguments. What is your goal here? A circle jerk? You accomplished that. To get to the truth? You distanced your self from that even further.

    Her death is very sad, but it is manipulated and exploited to keep your focus on her and off of what is really important, that which is not being said by the MSM: Vaccines are $#@!ing dangerous by design. In the end, it actually has nothing to do with Vaccines themselves, but everything about "Who Owns Your Body".

    The two sides of this debate I constantly hear are "Anti Vaccers are freaks and should be forced". The other side is "You dont own me". Between the two sides, one side will claim to have authority over another persons body and what they can put in or take out of it. The other side has no intention of trying to force anyone else to do something to their bodies without their permission or concent. If we are to be a society that survives on the mutual respect of equal rights where by we accomplish our greatest achievments through cooperation and not coersion or compulsion, then we must respect the most primary of Property Rights: You own your own body.

    Any other distractions or hot button emotional trigger points are distractions intended to keep your focus off of the big picture. Be afraid of the Unvaccinated. Be afraid of those who will not surrender their bodies willingly. The most powerful weapon any oppresor can control is the mind of the oppressed. They need people to willingly give up. Resistance is expected, and powerful psychological weapons such as Shaming or Guilt are applied by the group on to the individual. The two possible outcomes to this situation are either we put the emotional fears of the group ahead of the needs of the individual, which results in any of the "isms" in Collectivism, or we protect the Individual from all agresses of the Group.

    You can stop the onset of colds and flu with massive amounts of garlic, elderberry and vitamin C. And it's scientifically shown that kimchi cures bird flu. So why bother with a vaccine that is known to only work 30% of the time?
