'A West Australian mum who had her three-year-old daughter and her one-year-old twins vaccinated two weeks ago told ABC Local Radio in Perth that things started to go wrong just three hours after her children had their flu shots.'
"My three-year-old started shaking. She went purple and she was trembling and she couldn't stop, so I rushed her down to Margaret Hospital," she said.
"While I was at the hospital I got a phone call from my husband saying the twins were vomiting and were very sick so I've raced home to them."
Things went wrong for mum...not big pharma...they have no liability.
