Christina Richelle Tarsell – Maryland

November 1986 – June 2008

Born in November 1986, Christina had the world by the tail. Chris was an honors student throughout high school and college. She had just completed her Junior Year in Studio Art, at Bard College in New York, and was looking forward to returning to her summer job at the Center for Curatorial Studies. She was anxious to begin work on her senior project.

Art was her passion. She loved texture, light and color. Chris not only had vision, she had talent. She served as art editor of two literary magazines, one in high school and another in college. Her personal talent was evident by the many awards she won at juried art shows.

Chris did not stop with one passion, she was also an avid and accomplished athlete. She played baseball on the boys’ team in middle school, varsity softball during high school and tennis in college on an award winning team.

As if that were not enough, Chris took her spare time to devote herself to community service. She was active in church, Girl Scouts, the National Honor Society and Amnesty International. Any organization she participated in was proud to count her as one of their team.

All of that ended 18 days after her third injection of Gardasil, when she was found dead in her bed at college. Chris’s abrupt departure from this world has left a multitude of people wondering what happened to this sweet, spirited, generous and caring individual who was a credit to the human race.

Chris’s mother says, “Christina was my only child. I hope no other parent has to experience what it is like for the police to come to your door and tell you your child is dead.

Chris was the light of my life. It made me cry when I later learned she wrote on Facebook that I was her hero. There is no greater love than that between a parent and a child. The lives of those she touched will never again be the same. We miss you, Chris.”

Freek Hagoort – The Netherlands

8 years old at time of death

Following are excerpts from an article written by Anneke Bleeker. Read the full text here.

Family of criminal decides whether he should be punished? Is this possible in our country, in the time we live in; or, is it a sign of the time in which we live? A criminal who has a lot to answer for, is not judged by independent judges, but by his own family!

The verdict is clear: you don’t hand over your own family to a possible prison term, even when the offense warrants exactly that. Who would believe this scenario could happen?

Unfortunately, it appears that is just what is happening. Freek was an ordinary boy, like thousands of others his age. He played with his friends, went to school, played football and performed all kinds of activities boys his age do. He was a normal boy, part of a family; he had a father, mother and brother. Freek Hagoort did not become ‘special’ until after his death.

Freek Hagoort died just before his ninth birthday, only three days after he received his MMR and DTP vaccines. He died on 9 March 2009. This is reported in various ways, through newspapers, books, radio and television shows, and lectures. Only after his death is his name known. He is now a ‘special child.’ Freek is a special boy who died as the result of vaccination, recognized by everyone except the Government!

It seems government health officials feel the information should not be brought forth, not under any circumstances! If indeed, should information appear in the newspapers that Freek’s demise was a result of the national vaccination program, the wider implications are known. The vaccination program would be staggering even more than it already is.

You see, Freek died at the same time questions were being raised about the HPV vaccination ‘feast.’ He died at a particularly poor moment, just because of the media frenzy over whether vaccines are reliable, or not. Do they have added value; or are they downright dangerous? Those issues were in focus at that moment, so, the fact that a boy died because of vaccinations that have already been given for decades could not come to light. His death could not have happened at a more inconvenient moment.

When Freek’s parents contacted the general practitioner because the boy had become so very ill, they admitted that this reaction could be a result of the vaccinations, which were given the Thursday before. They were told this type of reaction had been confirmed a couple of times, and one needed not to worry, he would get well.

Following his death, upon contacting RIVM (National Institute for Public Health and the Environment), the pathologist received a clear message that this death had nothing to do with vaccination, so he didn’t have to do an investigation into it. Out of the question!

The parents were treated like capital offenders, who had abused their own child and that was it!

So, at first, according the the GP, Freek’s being so ill could be related to the vaccinations. Death was not considered at the moment. Then, after his death this relationship was out of the question according to RIVM!

The National Vaccine Program for every new-world citizen is launched even before they are born, when the pregnant mother is advised to get the pertussis and flu vaccines. Day one, the HepB vaccine is waiting for the newborn. If parents object, or question–they are told loud and clear that they are being irresponsible.

Who is irresponsible? The Government that wants the population filled up with vaccines, without properly knowing what all it brings about; OR, the parents who want to know all of the facts before vaccination?

(NOTE: The SaneVax team has been informed that the Dutch Institute for Health (RIVM) did the original autopsy and concluded the vaccines had nothing to do with Freek’s death. The parents wanted an independent autopsy conducted, but to this day, the Dutch authorities refuse to provide the necessary tissue samples. Our question is this, “If the vaccines were not related to this young boy’s death, why are the authorities refusing to provide samples for independent appraisal?”

Annabelle Morin – Quebec

December 1993 – December 2008

Written by: Norma Erickson, Vaccines Examiner

From the day Annabelle was born, she was an exceptional child. She had a heart as big as all outdoors. Her family viewed her as a gift. Loving daughter, grand-daughter, friend and confidante to all, it didn’t take long for everyone she touched to feel the same way. Annabelle was indeed a treasure.

Early on, Annabelle showed she was determined to make the world a kinder, gentler place. The first sign was her great love for animals. It was not unusual for her to rescue any stray animal she found. As soon as she was old enough, she helped groom race horses with her grandfather. At only 12 years old, she worked as a volunteer for the SPCA. Benevolence was her nature.

Her kind heart was not reserved for animals. When called upon to be a godmother, this young woman took the job quite seriously. Annabelle had already set out to change the world, one small step at a time.

Annabelle’s life had but one guiding principle, “All that is necessary to achieve, is to believe.” Annabelle believed she would become a veterinary surgeon.

9 December 2008, 15 days after her second shot of Gardasil, that dream ended. Annabelle went to take a bath less than 10 feet from where her family was sitting. 30 minutes later, she was found dead. No cry, no unusual sound, she left the world in silence.

Annabelle lived in Canada, where the parents do not need to be informed when vaccination takes place. Her family had heard the advertisements for Gardasil for two years prior to when she actually received the first shot. They had discussed it and agreed that based on the advertisements, the vaccination would be a good idea.

16 days after Annabelle’s first shot, she suffered from aphasia (the inability to understand spoken or written language), weakness, amnesia, inability to speak and difficulty standing. Not knowing she had received a Gardasil shot, her parents took her to the hospital to find answers.

No one at the hospital asked if she had recently received a vaccination. Even though many of her symptoms were neurological, her brain scan came back normal. All they could say was that it was not normal for such a previously healthy girl to suffer these symptoms. There were no answers.

Almost two years later, Annabelle’s family still has no answer from the coroner as to her cause of death. The coroner could find no reason.

In the name of Annabelle, and all of the girls across Canada, her family fights for a public investigation into the circumstances surrounding Annabelle’s death. They want to see no more reports of fatalities after HPV vaccinations.

Santana Gabrielle Valdez – New Mexico

October 1988 – August 2007

Written by: Norma Erickson, Vaccines Examiner

Santana was born with a smile on her face, October 28, 1988. Her enthusiasm and zest for life were apparent from the very beginning. She had a certain gift for bringing joy to those around her.

As she grew, you could always find her surrounded by a group of children eager to be entertained by her stories and games. She loved them and they loved her. Her 2 year old niece was just one of her constant companions. But, children were not her only fans. Santana attracted people like a magnet. Evrryone wanted to be a part of the zest for life that permeated every aspect of Santana’s existence.

Santana was one of those rare children who always believed in Angels. She knew they were here to watch over and protect us. She never questioned the spiritual side of life; she just knew.

Santana’s was her mother’s best friend They did everything together and shared each others’ secrets, dreams, hopes, and desires. Santana knew mom always harbored a secret desire to travel. Mom knew Santana was aftaid of death. No parent could ask for more.

Santana had a habit of calling her mom several times throughout the day, just to check in and see wht mom was up to at the time. One day, she didn’t call and mom became concerned. She went home to find her best friend had died in her sleep.

The date: August 31, 2007 — less than four months after her last injection of Gardasil.

Santana left behind a family desperately searching for answers. The coroner could find no cause of death, she was dumfounded. Mom needs to know why her healthy, vibrant, loving best friend is gone. Her niece wants to know when Santana will ‘come back from heaven.’ She is only four years old now, and still thinks the cemetary is heaven. Her brother spends his time trying to fill Santana’s shoes. Her grandfather’s health has been steadily declining since Santana’s demise. This is a family searching to find out why they were left with a huge hole where Santana used to be.

Santana’s mother says, “Her memory will live on forever, through the eyes and hearts of all who knew her. She touched so many in her short life! We needed more time with her!

These girls’ lives are being cut short by other people, but nobody will take the blame. They are allowed to continue doing so!

I loved Santana so much! Half of me died along with her on the morning of August 31st, 2007!

If you are considering an HPV vaccine, please investigate before you vaccinate.”

Jessica Ericzon – New York

March 1990 – February 2008

Written by: Norma Erickson, Vaccines Examiner

Jessie was born ready to tackle the world. It didn’t really matter what activity people were involved in, you would find her right in the middle of things. From the very beginning, she excelled at everything she tried to do. She was born believing life was a challenge she was ready for.

Jessie grew up across the road from her grandfather’s dairy farm. She learned to milk cows, drive a tractor and put up hay. Hard work was no stranger to her, in fact, she relished the prospect. She knew it took hard work to get things done, but that did not bother her in the least.

Jessie loved people. It was her personal mission to come to the aid of anyone who was being picked on. In her world, everyone deserved a fair chance. She tried to make sure everyone around her had one.

Jessica loved the outdoors. Whether it be cheerleading, snowboarding with her brother, working on the farm, or practicing her pitching for softball, she tackled it with an enthusiasm that could rarely be matched.,

Jessica loved Spaghetti-O’s, pepperoni, lilies, listening to her iPod and making her friends laugh; not necessarily in that order. Her family and friends always came first and foremost in her heart and mind. She was a girl with all of her priorities in the right place.

Her zest for life extended to academics. Jessica was an honor student, a senior in High School, looking forward to going to college at SUNY. She planned to major in psychology. She was pursuing her greatest ambition, to become a New York State Trooper. Jessica had the world by the tail.

All of that promise came to an abrupt end on February 22, 2008, when Jessica’s parents came home from work to find her dead on the bathroom floor. Their shocking discovery occurred only 2 days after Jessie’s third and final injection of the HPV vaccine, Gardasil.

Once again, Gardasil seems to have lived up to their marketing campaign promise. Gardasil has taken one of the best of the best and made her ‘one less.’

Jessica’s mother, Lisa would like to add, “Losing your daughter at the age of 17 is indescribable. It is something that I will live with for the rest of my life. Knowing that it could have been prevented is a guilt I will carry also. Jessie was the All American teenager – happy, healthy, never did drugs or smoked. She was so full of everything life could offer her and did everything life would allow. She participated in all the sports and cheer leading in her school. Jess was an honor student and #8 in her class. I could go on and on because she was someone who I was ALWAYS proud to call my daughter. She was the best of the best and was on the road to becoming a success story in today’s world. Now she is gone and my life is empty without her.

Gardasil killed my daughter Jessie and it is my hope that Gardasil will end soon, so no other family has to suffer with losing their daughter.”

Jenny Tetlock – California

1994 – 2009

Jenny was a 15 year old girl battling a rapidly degenerative disease that some MD’s think may be linked to the HPV vaccine she received shortly before symptoms appeared. (Although there is no scientific proof one way, or the other, Dr. Diane Harper, lead researcher, who helped design and carry out Phase II and Phase III safety and effectiveness studies prior to Gardasil’s approval and acted as a consultant to Merck, believes that the possibility of triggering a genetic disorder within a family has to be seriously considered.)

The following is an exerpt from Jenny’s Journey, a website maintained by Jenny’s family and friends to help locate similar cases:

On a sunny afternoon in May 2007, a tearful Jenny told her mother how her seventh-grade gym class laughed when she tripped on a hurdle that everyone else cleared easily. A few weeks later came the odd limp. Gradually, weakness spread; her muscles atrophied; her world shrank.

Jenny’s parents frantically rushed her to an ever wider range of specialists, to no avail. By spring 2008, Jenny was a quadriplegic who could breathe only with machine support. She clung to life for almost a year but she never made it to see another spring.

No one knows exactly when Jenny’s disease began—or what disease she had. World-class neurologists suspect Lou Gehrig’s disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This relentless killer spares the mind, while methodically destroying the body’s motor neurons until the patient’s body slips into total, irreversible paralysis.

Yet medical opinion is not unanimous. The CDC estimates the odds of ALS among teenage girls at 1 in 3 million, less than those of being struck by lightning. A far more common cause of paralysis among teenage girls is autoimmune disease.

Jenny passed away on 15 March 2009, surrounded by her family.

Visit Jenny’s Journey for more details of the events surrounding this young girl’s sudden illness following her Gardasil Vaccination. Jenny’s family is also trying to locate others who have experienced symptoms of the disease that took their daughter’s life in an attempt to prevent it from happening to others.

Moshella Roberts – North Carolina

20 years old

Moshella died after Gardasil vaccination, 5 April 2008, her first day on the job at Trinity Home Health Care. Shelly appeared to have died in her sleep while on the job that morning.

Shelly was a student at Fayetteville State University in her sophomore year. She was a funny, quiet and easy-going person. Although she had a ‘laid back personality,’ she loved to help other people. In her spare time, she enjoyed doing hair and spending time with family and friends.

In High School, she was a varsity cheerleader, an active volunteer for her commuity (Special Olympics, make-up artist for a major play, and various civic functions). She received her CNA while maintaining honor status at college. She was majoring in psychology at Fayetteville State University.

During her sophomore year, she sought employment through a home health care agency. She died suddenly her first day on the job, coincidentally, only four days after receiving Gardasil.

Brooke Petkevicius – Florida

19 years old

Written by: Cynthia Janak

Brooke was enrolled at the University of California, Berkley where she studied social work, majoring in Social Welfare. She was involved in many extra-curricular activities, including co-ed volleyball and ballroom dancing. She played on an intramural volleyball team and went to kickboxing classes.

Brooke died 14 days after her first injection of Gardasil from a pulmonary embolism, or blood clot, on 26 March 2007. There was no family history of this problem.

Brooke’s Story: “Brook did not smoke,” said her school friend, Megan Sedowski. “She was possibly one of the healthiest people I’ve ever met. She never did drugs, and rarely drank alcohol. She worked out daily, and took a lot of classes at the gym. She never complained about anything, really–certainly not her health. She was an amazing, upbeat, caring, healthy young woman. Her death was a complete shock!”

Brooke had dressed to go running with a friend because they were training for a half-marathon. She walked to the elevator, collapsed against the wall and had a seizure. Brooke was rushed to the hospital and passed away.

Brooke never had any problems with blood clots, nor did her family have any history of clotting problems. Subsequent tests of her younger sister and her mother showed nothing genetic. Brooke had no allergies, no tobacco use, and no past substance abuse problems. Drug tests came back negative.

Cynthia Janak, author, spoke to all of her family. They told her what a wonderful, kind-hearted young woman she was. She had dreams and aspirations for her future. They spoke about how her laughter was contagious and how her smile lit up a room. This was a girl who had it hard growing up, as many of us, but became a stronger person for it. As Cynthia likes to say, “She took sour grapes and made fine wine.”

Amber Kaufmann – Missouri

16 years old

Written by her mother.

Amber was a perfectly healthy 16 year old girl who collapsed on her way into work, with a seizure. Then her heart stopped. Amber played vollyball, track, bowled and loved hanging out with her boyfriend, family and friends. She was upbeat, fun and loved life. She was the last in the nest; she was my best friend. She looked forward to joining the military like her older brother and sister.

Her cause of death was listed as “cardiac disturbance of undetermined etiology.”

Amber’s Story: 31 March 2008, Amber went to the doctor for a sore throat and at the same time she was administered her second shot of Gardasil. She also had a shot of Rocephin and was put on Erythromycin (Z pack). Being her mom, I asked if she should have the shot since she was sick, and her nurse practitioner said it would be no problem. She was also in the middle of her menstrual cycle when she received the shot.

She stayed home from school a couple of days as she complained of headaches, being tired and slept a lot. I attributed it to her illness.

She went to school on 3 April 2008. Amber was on her way to work after school and I was on my way home. She called to let me know that the road to our house was closed due to water. That was the last time I ever talked to her. About 15 minutes later, I got a call from her work saying she had collapsed on her way into work.

I live only a few blocks from where she works. When I arrived, they were just getting ready to start CPR. Amber was taken to the hospital about 15 minutes away. They did not get a heart beat until they reached the emergency room. She was transferred to St. Louis Children’s Hospital, where she did not come off life support. Her brain had swelled and without a breathing tube, or tube feeding her, she would not be able to live. She was brain dead.

Amber was an organ donor on April 7, 2008. I sat at her head in the surgery room while they removed her breathing tube, she tried breathing for a whild. I’m the one that had to tell her to go and to just be at peace. I was the one with her at the end.

No mother should have to do that for her child. It was the hardest thing I have ever done, or ever will do, in my life! I am so glad Amber saved at least five other lives. I get up every day because I know she would want me to let others know not to get this vaccine to prevent this from happening to any other young women, or moms.
