Richie, Robbie and Claire are the names of the McDowell triplets. Their parents, Robbie and Brenda, made an appearance on the original "Vaxxed" bus to provide a heartbreaking timeline of events surrounding the routine vaccinations that led to lifelong neurological damage. These injuries all happened within hours of the shots. "We are the living proof that they're all lying." Find more eye-opening stories, like the McDowells', on CHD.TV.
My notes on the video:
They were healthy babies. Their birth weight was approximatley 5 lbs each (OUCH!). They were monitored for a few days before being sent home.
All three babies were very engaged and she described the household of giggly babies as, 'a party everyday.'
The babies were reciving vaccines one at a time instead of all on the same day.
June 2007, at just a few days over 9 months of age, all three had a Pneumoccocal Conjugate shot at 10 am.
Claire was injected first; there's still a scar on her leg. She continued to scream for a long time after the shot. They didn't realize anything was wrong.
Two hours later at 12pm, bright giggly daughter shut down completely. It was as if Claire was deaf and blind; she just sat staring at the ceiling. 'Failure to thrive.'
Four hours later at 2 pm, baby Ritchie stopped being a playful, giggling little boy and shut off completely.
His 'Mama', 'Dadda,' raspberry blowing, giggles, smiles and furniture walking stopped.
They lost all their reflexes.
Their mother is an educational audiologist. She tested the stapedial reflex in the middle ear just to see if an involuntary muscle was still working, but there was no response. That reflex aids in sound discrimination and dampens really loud sound so your ears don't hurt.
Both babies displayed no response to that test and stopped blinking, yawning, coughing, sneezing as well. Waving an object close to their eyes did not cause them to blink. They lost their startle reflex. Their mother threw a telephone book on the floor behind them and there was no response; they didn't even look to see what it was.
So that was at 2 pm when Richie shut down. Their mother said she couldn't breath.
She became emotional in telling this story. She said the worst was when she saw the final one, Robby, shut down.
She said "We lost Robbie. Robbie looked like he was hit by a bus." From that moment on Robbie had a stunned look on his face. If you said his name, he still behaved as if he were deaf, but he and the other babies all had normal hearing.
Robbie lost his happiness. This picture was taken at his first birthday three months after the vaccination.
The babies were no longer engaged in anything or anyone.
They lost their smiles and lived in their own little separate worlds.
They never held hands again; they never looked at each other again.
"Vaccine injury is real. We were told it was genetic."
A geneticist refuted the idea the causal factor was genetic given all three shut off on the same day and 2 boys/1 girl (statistically impossible).
THe family was told the could not sue anyone (they signed for that shot). Doctors, vax manufacturers could not be sued.
When the babies were 51/2 years of age, the family discovered that there was a vaccine court.
The family was told they were too late; they had to apply within 3 years. They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to recover the babies. The only one the recovered was Robbie, who was last to shut off. They are making progress on all three.
All three kids diagnosed with severe autism spectrum disorder upon entering kindergarten. They tried everything.
They decided on Sunrise Therapy, which was to find happiness in every day. She said, "We have happy little people." They are not mean or aggressive; they are happy. Their mother attributes their happiness to the Sunrise Therapy.
Ritchie can only say a word or two together. He's in a lot of pain and grinds his teeth. Clair is still completely non-verbal and not potty trained. RItchie is still being potty trained and Robbie is now trained. Robbie is approaching grade level but has severe OCD.
"Were comin' along, it's just one day at a time." (ransomnote: This interview was given when the triplets were 10 years old)
At the 6:40 mark, their mother said her husband wanted to tell the interviewer what their day is like. He works in property management.
At years 5, 6 or 7, the babies fill their diapers in the early morning. Because it's uncomfortable, they take it off. Diaper contents end up all over the babies, the bed, the room and both parents who snap at each other and sometimes at the child.
Dad says the child is the one person who is innocent in that scenario; the ones not innocent is anybody who told you the shot was safe. Those responsible are all asleep in their bed - they haven't got a problem.
Mom says she was so worried when she took them to get the shot, and the nurse assured her over and over again the shot would not hurt them. "Where are they now?"
She called the medical facility the day after the shot and reported the babies response to the shot. The staff wrote it all out and Mom found out later, they never submitted the report.
The family found out 7 years after the babies were vaccinated that it was contaminated and was pulled from the market a week or two after their vaccination date. It was recalled for sterilization issues. But they wouldn't tell the family what was wrong with the shot.
A doctor friend looked up the vaccine lot number and discovered the shot had killed a two-year old, and they didn't want the public to know. Mom notes that the family is lucky the babies lived; they could have lost all three completely on the same day. They just lie.
The first doctor told them to invest in a group home. Dad notes the doctors wanted them to start up the vaccinations again. The group of doctors they were with when the children were vaccinated gave the famiy a 'break up letter'.
Dad said that they had three happy healthy children who were vaccinated and autistic by the end of the day. The family told the group medical practice that they weren't going to have more vaccines until they found out what happened with the first one. He said the practice responded that if they didn't continue to do what they did (vaccinate their children) they would not be patients at the medical group and 'broke up' with them.
Mom said they were told they were no longer welcome at the clinic because they were not going to continue 'Well Baby' checks. Dad says that is the one decision they will never regret.
Mom concludes by saying that they (doctors) can tell the parent of a single child that the damage is the result of genetics, but the fact that her family's children, with 2 boys and 1 girl, had this (statistically impossible) damage is living proof they are all lying.
