Not sure if it will be shown on the East coast also, but in Perth tonight the parents of the little girl who suffered seizures, paralysis and coma after her flu shot last year will be sharing their story, plus some details about what has happened within the medical community since. Hopefully it will not be 'doctored' in any way. Pardon the pun...
They would like for as many people to know as possible so please spread the word.
Channel 9, from 6pm.
I believe so Charlotte - I presume it will just be WA news too. Apparently channel 9 will post it on their website after it has screened - so stay tuned.
I think tonight's part will just be the response from the WA Health Dep - "why it all went wrong and why this years flu shot will be different" was the tag line as I recall.
Err - thanks but no thanks. How about some compensation for the poor family?
Oh - and I wouldn't bet that the segment will be on the channel 9 website either. According to the family, all the articles that were written about their daughter have mysteriously disappeared.
A quick search led me to the listed webpage article "Flu Vaccine Destroys Baby Saba's Life" from News dot com dot au, dated 20th March (only 2 days old). Sure enough, when you click on the link - the article has been removed. They cite potential causes for this as:
There's an error in the address or link you have entered in your browser;
There's a technical issue and the page has not been properly published; The article was removed to comply with a legal order;
It is an older article that has been removed from the site.
Wow. How insulting to dear little Saba & her family - treating them as though their experience never happened for fear of losing millions of dollars to an educated public. This is Australia, not China - we expect to have the freedom to be able to make informed desicions and are entitled to know about this story!!
