Is the Queensland Health Minister and Queensland Chief Health Officer lying over when they said they knew about toddler’s death post Flu vaccination ?

Following is a guest blog from Merilyn Haines who has followed the case of the toddler in QLD who died 12 hours after an influenza vaccine. Please note that the Courier Mail intentionally withheld this information until they were forced to publish it due to the situation in Western Australia. Do we get any truth at all from the media? It is hard to imagine that we do.

The Brisbane  Channel 10  5pm news, Friday 9th April  reported  Upper Mt Gravatt Police were investigating the sudden death of a 2 year old the day after she and her family had been vaccinated for  Swine Flu.

The Channel  10 news also  reported that evening  that the deputy Premier ( Paul Lucas - who is also  Health Minister ) as saying no-one should avoid vaccinations.

As there did not seem to be any other reports of this death, I personally contacted Channel 10  on Monday 12th April to check the details which  they confirmed  and also  said that there was to be a post mortem on the Monday.

A week later, there were no still no reports of the death in the Courier Mail.  I personally contacted a Courier Mail medical reporter on  Friday morning 16th April and she confirmed that the Courier Mail knew about the death , but had decided not to report it, citing there was no evidence.

On Sunday the 25 th April, the Sunday Mail finally  reported the death of the 2 yr old , after dozens of Western Australian children suffering severe adverse reactions following seasonal flu vaccinations started being reported.

The Courier Mail today ( 26th April )  reported Qld Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young  as saying “ until now, neither Queensland Health , nor the relevant national body had been advised of, or were aware of, any death allegedly related  to a 2010 seasonal  flu vaccine in Queensland”

So how did  Channel 10 news report the Deputy Premier as saying  on the 9th April that no one should avoid vaccinations?

Did Channel  10 make this up? Did some Qld Health bureaucrat give this statement on behalf of Paul Lucas?

Police were investigating the child’s death on the 9th April, so  why didn’t the Police and the  doctor involved alert Queensland  Health and the Adverse Medicine Events hotline?

If Dr Young or Paul Lucas knew about the death and kept silent for weeks , in which time dozens, probably hundreds of young West Australian children have suffered adverse health  effects  that may have been prevented , this may be a criminal action.

It is believed a  one year old is lying  brain dead in a Perth Hospital as a consequence of a recent seasonal flu  vaccination.

As a mother and an Aunt and someone who just wants a fair deal for our kids, I  am one of many who will be demanding a full  Parliamentary Inquiry and the sacking of Paul Lucas and Jeannette Young.

I am not opposed to vaccinations, only opposed to politicians who lie and those who would let  harm befall  our children.
