If you’ve watched the countless interviews with her, she did not know. She had a doctor friend who put her children in a clinical trial, and there were no issues whatsoever. The mother is guilty of misplacing her trust in the medical establishment, like so many others….but give her credit that she is fighting and speaking out as much as she can now. Obviously, she learned the truth in the most tragic of ways. And will have to live with that the rest of her life.

Agree. I cannot condemn Maddie's mom. Though I wouldn't have enrolled my kids in a drug trial (I am a nurse and have enough experience to be wary), I did vaccinate my kids with all the traditional shots about which I now I have tremendous regret. Maddie's mom has to face the consequence of her decision every, single, day. Her burden is heavy enough.

Yeah, but actually it's her daughter that has to live with it. Mom isn't paralyzed. She isn't in constant physical pain. I am sure she is in constant emotional pain and that is awful, but I'd rather be in emotional agony than in a wheelchair. I am very glad she is speaking out so honestly, though. That takes guts.
