Vaccine Court Awards Family $310,000, Rules Encephalitis After MMR Shot Killed Toddler

The family of 14-month-old Violet Skye Rodela, who died 19 days after getting an MMR and other routine vaccines, won compensation from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program for the toddler’s death. Violet’s case, along with another case awarded earlier this year, offers lessons for future infant death cases in vaccine court, according to a working group of researchers and advocates.

The family of another infant who died in her sleep after receiving routine vaccines has won a settlement from the U.S. government’s vaccine court, which determined the vaccines caused the infant to develop encephalitis.

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) awarded Matthew Rodela and Casandra Hogan $310,000 for the death of their 14-month-old daughter, Violet Skye Rodela.

Violet died on March 11, 2015, 19 days after receiving the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine, along with several other routine childhood immunizations.

The award included a $250,000 standard death benefit and $60,000 for pain and suffering. The court granted the settlement, which also covered the family’s legal fees, in September 2024. However, technical issues with a California probate court caused a delay in finalizing the financial award.

The vaccine court’s decision grants Violet’s parents legal recognition that their daughter suffered an adverse event from the MMR vaccine listed on the official Vaccine Injury Table. The table lists vaccine reactions presumed to be caused by a vaccine, based on specific medical and timing criteria.

Infant deaths following vaccinations are often classified as sudden infant death syndrome  (SIDS), or for toddlers 12-18 months old, sudden unexplained death in childhood (SUDC). According to vaccine court researcher Wayne Rohde, author of two books on the VICP, only about 50 infant death cases have been compensated since the program was established in 1986.

The ruling in Violet’s death, along with another award this year issued to the family of Anna Sims, who died suddenly after receiving routine vaccines, could set an important precedent for future infant cases in the VICP, according to a working group of researchers and advocates studying vaccine-induced infant death. The group published an analysis of both cases(See link for article)

Mom of 4-Month-Old Who Died 2 Days After ‘Routine’ Vaccines Warns Other Parents: Don’t ‘Blindly’ Follow CDC Schedule

Four-month-old Josette Petrone received six vaccines at a routine wellness visit. Two days later, she went down for her afternoon nap and never woke up again. “Josie,” as her family called her, was in perfect health when she went in for her 4-month check-up at 3 p.m. on Aug. 19, her father Ryan Petrone told The Defender.

Four-month-old Josette Petrone received six vaccines at a routine wellness visit. Two days later, she went down for her afternoon nap and never woke up again.

“Josie,” as her family called her, was in perfect health when she went in for her 4-month check-up at 3 p.m. on Aug. 19, her father Ryan Petrone told The Defender.

Josie was developmentally advanced, Ryan said. She was holding her head up like a 6-month-old and was able to roll in both directions. “Her pediatrician was super happy with everything,” he said.

The office staff gave Josie the six vaccines the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends babies receive at age 4 months, including a first dose of the RSV  vaccine and a second dose of the DTPHibpneumococcalrotavirus and polio vaccines.

Josie received an oral liquid containing the rotavirus and polio vaccines, and two combined shots of the other vaccines.

She immediately became irritable, which was “completely out of the norm” for her as she was a “super happy, super easy baby,” Ryan said.

For the next two days, Josie continued to be irritable and refused to nurse.

On Aug. 21, “Our perfect, beautifully healthy baby girl — full of joy, full of love — went down for her afternoon nap and never woke back up,” said Josie’s mother, Mollie Petrone, in an interview on CHD.TV(See link for article & interview)

Tell Congress: Amend Six Bills That Would Force More Cell Towers Into Our Neighborhoods

Congress is advancing six bills — HR 1343, 1588, 1665, 1681, 1731, and 6046 — that would greatly expand federal control over wireless deployment and limit the ability of local governments to regulate where wireless facilities are installed.

December 9, 2025

Take Action NowCongress is advancing six bills — HR 1343, 1588, 1665, 1681, 1731, and 6046 — that would greatly expand federal control over wireless deployment and limit the ability of local governments to regulate where wireless facilities are installed.

As written, these bills would make it easier for telecom companies to place cell towers, antennas, and related equipment directly in residential neighborhoods — near homes, schools, and children’s bedrooms — with little local oversight.

We are asking Congress to amend all six bills so they do NOT apply to applications for wireless facilities or to the wired infrastructure used to deploy them.

Without these amendments, the bills would:

  • Fast-track the build out of wireless infrastructure into communities
  • Override local zoning, planning, and safety authority
  • Silence community input
  • Expand federal preemption far beyond what exists today

Local governments are best positioned to protect residents, property values, and community character. These bills must be amended to preserve that authority.

Tell Congress to amend these bills now. Your voice can help stop a nationwide push to force more cell towers into our neighborhoods.

The Pandemic Revealed the Most Cowardly Society of All TimeThe Pandemic Revealed the Most Cowardly Society of All Time

Article Excerpts:

Sales Strategy

“You vaccinate not only for yourself. You vaccinate also to protect society and particularly to protect those that you love the most,” declared Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, at the 2022 World Economic Forum meeting. That was the main message around the entire world. In Brazil, for example, on every television program the message was identical: “The vaccine protects both you and the people around you,” stated epidemiologist Pedro Hallal, rector of the Federal University of Pelotas, on TV Globo—Brazil’s biggest network—also in early 2022.

What few people know is that this message had been previously studied and tested. Before rolling out the vaccines, Yale scientists conducted research to find out which messages would be most effective in getting people to comply. “It is even more effective to add language that frames vaccine uptake as a way to protect others,” the scientists concluded in the study.

There’s Just One Problem with That Message

It’s not true. The most effective marketing message claimed that Covid-19 vaccines had an ability they never actually had: reducing or stopping transmission.

In other words, the highly effective message that the Covid vaccines were a social pact was misleading propaganda on a global scale. But for those who pay closer attention to the industry’s track record, this comes as no surprise. According to a 2020 survey published in the journal JAMA, the largest pharmaceutical companies in the United States alone paid $33 billion in criminal and civil fines between 2003 and 2016 for illegal activities—including fraud, bribery, and false advertising.

“The greater the number of vaccine doses previously received the higher the risk of Covid-19,” the Cleveland Clinic scientists wrote.

In short, the now-consolidated information is: any reduction in infection risk is transient, drops rapidly, damages the immune system, and eventually becomes negative.

It went very wrong.

Convenient Forgetting

From the start of the pandemic until today, we’ve gone through more than five years, almost six. It was one of the biggest disruptions to everyday life in history. At the same time, no one talks about the subject in the media, leaving it off the agenda for conversation circles or get-togethers with friends.

There is, implicit in this, a strong interest in making the whole of society forget the matter and look forward, to other things.  (See link for more)

SUMMARY of research showing clot shots are evil to the core:

  • Taiwanese study with nearly 3 million participants found among the Covid-19 vaccinated, an 84% increase in the risk of needing dialysis after one year of follow-up, even after adjustments for age, comorbidities, and other renal risk factors. Almost double.
  • Italian study covering the entire population of a province (296,015 people) found a 54% increase in the risk of hospitalization for breast cancer among vaccinated women, plus increases in colorectal cancer (34%) and bladder cancer (62%). 
  • Korean study with 8.4 million participants found similar patterns in six types of cancer: prostate (69% higher risk), lung (53%), thyroid (35%), gastric (34%), colorectal (28%), and breast (20%), with risks varying by age, sex, and vaccine type.
  • Japanese study saw accelerated progression of pancreatic cancer among vaccinated, compared to unvaccinated, confirming the data from Korea and Italy. 
  • Israeli study on 500,000 children found a 23% increase in autoimmune diseases among vaccinated children during the study period.
  • Study with 500,000 people from South Korea found a 22.5% increase in Alzheimer’s among the vaccinated. In addition to a 137% increase in mild cognitive impairment — the onset of Alzheimer’s — during the study period.
  • Another South Korean studywith more than 2 million patients saw brutal increases in psychological disorders — 68% more depression among the vaccinated, 44% more anxiety, dissociative disorders, stress-related disorders, and 93% more sleep disorders.
  • Another Israeli study that followed more than 220,000 pregnancies found increases in spontaneous abortions and stillbirths after Covid-19 vaccines.
These are large observational studies in reputable journals, with controls. If we reject these, we need to reject the observational studies that “prove” vaccines saved millions of lives.
You can’t accept one standard and reject the other.

The article then paints an extremely ugly picture by noting the language of the COVID era wasn’t scientific, it was religious with the ‘experts’ as priests.  We were told to ‘do your part,’ protect the vulnerable,’ and ‘follow the science.’ Those questioning the religion became heretics, ‘deniers,’ ‘anti-science,’ and ‘murderers.’  Blind obedience was seen as virtuous for ‘a greater good’ that never existed.

I must whole-heartedly agree with the author that we are the most cowardly society of all time.

Investigation Into U.S. Military Bioweapons-Origin of Tick-Borne Lyme Disease Successfully Added to 2026 National Defense Authorization Act

U.S. Representative Chris Smith says we are now “one step closer to finally determining whether the U.S. government’s bioweapons program contributed to the proliferation of Lyme disease.”

U.S. Representative Chris Smith (R-NJ) has successfully included his amendment to investigate whether the U.S. military weaponized ticks with Lyme disease into the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

The ordeal underscores the national security threat posed by laboratory pathogen manipulation.

Rep. Smith, who is Co-Chair of the Congressional Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Caucus, had offered similar amendments—one in 2019 and the other in 2021—which passed the House, but failed in the Senate.

The successful addition of the amendment follows FDA Chief Dr. Marty Makary’s statements  during a November podcast, in which Makary expressed his belief that Lyme disease was created in U.S. military Lab 257 on Plum Island, New York.  (See link for article)

________________

**Comment**

Go here to hear Makary state it is highly likely Lyme came from Plum Island – just off the shore of Connecticut, where the first outbreak is recorded.

Smith states his amendments were inspired by Kris Newby’s book, “Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons.”  Here’s a clip of her stating she met a CIA black ops guy who stated that the strangest thing he’d ever done in 1962 which was coined, “Operation Mongoose,” was drop poison ticks on Cuban sugar cane workers.  She also explained how a military ‘bean counter’ stated, “We can kill 10,000 people at $1.33 per life,” regarding bioweaponized Tularemia, which is transmitted spread by ticks.

Here, this podcaster Mike Benz explains it was the very same Rocky Mountain Laboratories where Willy Burgdorfer experimented on infecting ticks with various pathogens that also more recently experimented on bats with COVID.
