Anti-Vaccine Activists are Heinous Ghouls, #693,104

February 6, 2017 Updated: See Below

Katie McQuestion was a 26-year-old newly-wed radiology technician when she tragically died of undiagnosed sepsis, on January 2, 2015. Her family has joined with The Rory Staunton Foundation  to advance awareness of sepsis, particularly in children and young adults. Here is her mother's account of Katie's illness and death.  She wrote: 

...the hospital took a chest x-ray for pneumonia, which was negative, and they tested for both influenza and strep which were negative....

Katie exhibited all the signs of sepsis, yet no one diagnosed it.

Our message to everyone is to Think Katie First when confronted with the symptoms of sepsis. Education of healthcare workers is critical, they should know the symptoms of sepsis the same as they know heart attack symptoms.

Not two weeks after her death, the vile anti-vaccine cult started  lying about her cause of death, and her family's reaction, and has not stopped or apologized.  Anyone familiar with the anti-vaccine movement should not be surprised.

The exploitation of Katie's death seems to have started with a fake news release, written by one Sean Adl-Tabatabai at the click-bait site YourNewsWire.com ^{1 (update Feb 6 2017: the article has been yanked. The Wayback Machine Version.}

Health Care Worker Dies From Forced Flu Shot

Posted on January 14, 2015 by Sean Adl-Tabatabai in Health 

26-year-old health care worker Katie Mcquestion died days after getting a mandatory flu shot.

Her family hope that her death may act as a warning for others thinking about getting the flu shot. They hope the warning will save other people’s lives.

So who is this Sean Adl-Tabatabai person?  Turns out he used to work for David "The British Royal Family are Reptilians" Icke ^2,3 He has  managed to monetize a lot of nonsense -- and outright lies.

The next salvo was on January 19,2015, at Mike Adams's NaturalNews, the fearmongering health profiteering website.

Woman dies of sepsis after getting flu shot; CDC claims it as flu death, urges public to get vaccinated
Monday, January 19, 2015 by: Jonathan Benson, staff writer

A Wisconsin radiology technician who was recently forced by her employer to get a flu shot died just days later after contracting sepsis, according to reports. 

It's true that Mrs. McQuestion was a radiology technician; every assertion after that (and the rest of the article) is a lie.  According to her family, she voluntarily got the flu shot (as sensible people do), weeks before she fell ill. 

Takeaway:

1. Don't read or link to YourNewsWire or anything published by Sean Adl-Tabatabai
2. Don't read or link to NaturalNews
3. Spread awareness of sepsis in young adults, to honor Katie McQuestion.  

Watch Katie's mother's video on her death, and the signs of sepsis.

My sincere and profound condolences to Katie's family, the Ceschins, and her husband and his family, the McQuestions. May her memory be a blessing to them all.

   Why do you continually shoot yourself in the foot trying (trying) to damage me? People deserve to know – what is your motivation? And who benefits?

Reprehensible.
Should be actionable.
