When Children’s Health Defense’s director of programming, Polly Tommey, asked specifically about parents who heard their story and might be “rushing out, panicking,” to get the vaccine, the parents rebuked the intervention that offered the best chance of preventing their daughter’s death. “Don’t do the shots,” the girl’s mother said.
