My name is Nancy Rodrigues and on 3/4/01 my 6 month old nephew died, just 3 days after his DPT vaccination.  My sister, Elizabeth Rodrigues, the mother of the baby is losing her mind.

On that day, the baby, Tyler,  was wide awake and let out a whine, when we looked at him he wasn’t breathing. He clenched his mouth and it looked as if he was having a seizure. We called 911, but 20 minutes went by and the ambulance never showed.  I grabbed Tyler, with intentions of running with him to the hospital and then saw two police officers driving down our street. They tried to administer CPR, and at the same time screaming into his phone that he needed an ambulance because Tyler had no pulse.  Another 20 minutes went by, and no ambulance, so the police officer then grabbed Tyler and rushed him to the hospital himself.

He had his DPT vaccination on Thursday evening 3/1/01 and he died on Sunday 3/4/01.  Not only did they give him the vaccination, but they gave it to him while he had a cold.

I e-mailed Dr. Mercola about two weeks after this happened and he gave me the phone # of a lawyer who would help my sister with her case.  After the lawyer looked over the autopsy report, he called my sister and told her he would take her case.  He stated he was disgusted by what he saw on the report.

The cause of death on the autopsy report states that my nephew died of a severe cold!!  Do you believe that?!?!?!  Have you ever heard of anyone dying of a severe cold?? And then the report states that he had cerebral swelling, blood spots in his liver, and he had an pneumonia - but yet the cause of death was a severe cold!!!!

In between not being warned about the vaccinations and no ambulance showing up to help save his life......This has all been too traumatizing for my whole family!! Its been over two months and my sister still cries herself to sleep.  She has told me everyday since his death that she feels cheated because her doctor should have given her all the information and let her make her own decision on rather or not to vaccinate him.

I guess now all Tyler will be is a “statistic”

Three days after his death, the medical examiner stated Tyler died of SIDS, but my sister fought them on it and demanded that they do further testing...... that’s when they claimed he died of a severe cold!!
