The Vaccine Myth That Won't Die: A Case Study in Anti Vaxxer Denial The recent indictment of Andrea Shaw, an Idaho mother accused of murdering her 18 month old twins, has reignited a disturbing trend: the rehashing of debunked vaccine myths.
Shaw's claims that vaccines killed her children have been thoroughly discredited by medical experts, but the damage is done – the anti vaxxer community has seized upon this tragic case to further their agenda.
The details of the case are starkly clear: on April 23, 2025, Shaw took her twins to receive three routine vaccinations. Eight days later, they were found dead in their bed.
