5-Year-Old Girl Dies From Flu Despite Vaccination

by JASmius



No one can begin to imagine what it must be like to lose a daughter unless one has a one or more little girls.  I happen to be the blessed father of a daughter that is now a beautiful, intelligent, talented, vivacious young Christian woman who has already made an impact upon the world and has only just begun doing so.

While I can fathom the nightmare of losing a daughter so young to something so capricious and senseless as an influenza virus, the Driscolls are horrifyingly living it:

A five-year-old girl has died in hospital three days after developing a strain of the flu that she was vaccinated against – as a deadly outbreak of the virus continues to sweep across the country.

Keira Driscoll was prescribed steroids and a nebulizer at a Quick Care clinic after she started feeling unwell with a cough and a fever at her home in Clark County, Las Vegas, last Sunday.

But just hours later, she collapsed. Her mother, Tiffany Driscoll, frantically performed CPR on her small body, before she was rushed to hospital. There, she was found to have influenza A.

Despite medics’ best efforts, Keira could not be resuscitated and she was placed on life support. On Tuesday, her parents made the heartbreaking decision to turn off the machine the next day.

However, Keira died before the machine would have been switched off after suffering from a cardiac arrest. She was surrounded by her mother, father, Peter Driscoll, and other relatives at the time.

The youngster is the fourth child in the Nevada-based county – and the 56th nationwide – to have died from the flu in the past few months as vaccines have proved largely ineffective.

If little Keira had to succumb to this virus, I really, really hope the latter is just a random disease, a natural mutation that was already present in the country.  I really do.  Because here is a case of precisely another "mysterious epidemic" that is sweeping the country, just like its predecessors ever since last summer's Border Crisis.  And if this vaccine-resistant flu strain is traceable to that same source, then Barack Obama has even more innocent blood on his hands.
