Colorado boy, four, dies of flu after his mother took the advice of anti-vaxxers on Facebook and refused to give her son Tamiflu
2020-02-08
  • A mother-of-four in Colorado was prescribed Tamiflu for her entire family when some of her children got flu
  • Her four-year-old did not test positive for flu at the time but developed symptoms
  • The mother posted in the anti-vaxxer Facebook group Stop Mandatory Vaccination looking for advice
  • She wrote that she never picked up the prescription but was 'treating' her children with peppermint oil, vitamin C and lavender
  • Of the 45 commenters, no one suggested medical attention, advising breastmilk, thyme and elderberries instead
  • The four year old suffered a seizure and was diagnosed with influenza B at the hospital
  • After four days fighting for his life, the little boy died of flu
