Of course RFK Jr’s anti-vaxx activist group Children’s Health Defense pounced Days after the death of her twins, CHD made a video with her, and then she was a plaintiff in a junk lawsuit brought by CHD against AAP It’s so ghastly & so cynical

NEW: I dug into the court documents in the case of Andrea Shaw, the Idaho mother charged with killing her toddlers. Shaw insists they died following a set of vaccinations. I looked at how the anti-vaccine movement insinuated itself into this case and her life. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

In April 2025, Andrea and Nathaniel Shaw were the young parents of 18-month-old twin toddlers. By May, the twins were dead. Andrea is charged with suffocating her toddlers. Children’s Health Defense says it was the vaccines.

Children’s Health Defense has seized on Shaw’s case as an opportunity to promote anti-vaccine beliefs, specifically the false notion that children’s routine vaccines cause babies to die of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

The prosecution alleges she suffocated both of her 18-month-old children in a premeditated act, and a judge revoked her bond for fear of her having contact with her new child. RFK Jr.’s antivaxx propaganda group put her on air to push disinformation about vaccines days after her children’s death.
