Baby Brooks Dies Suddenly 20 Days After DTaP and Rotavirus Vaccines

February 14, 2025February 14, 2025

Brooks was born on February 6, 2021 at a healthy 7 pounds, 4 ounces. His mother Leigh practiced safe sleep recommendations, and always placed him on his back to sleep. Leigh had done her research and wanted to skip all vaccines, but she compromised with her husband, who wanted to vaccinate, and they agreed to space out vaccines and only give one vaccine injection per month.

At three months old, Brooks received his first vaccine, a triple combination DTaP vaccine and the oral rotavirus vaccine. Brooks did not develop any overt reaction, he didn’t have a rash. He didn’t seem unwell. Leigh thought since he didn’t have an immediate reaction, that he would be fine. But 20 days later, Brooks died suddenly and unexpectedly in his sleep during a nap.

After the autopsy was complete, Brooks’ cause of death was listed as interstitial pneumonia, even though he had no cold symptoms or any signs of illness prior to death. This is not unusual for SIDS.

Prior to SIDS being officially recognized and tracked as a separate cause of death in 1974, cot deaths were routinely listed as bronchopneumonia or interstitial pneumonia. This is due to some congestion in the lungs at autopsy in an otherwise healthy baby. This is reminiscent to Mark Addison Roe‘s story: Mark was the ‘crib death’ that kickstarted ‘SIDS’ as an area of research. His parents founded the ‘Mark Addison Roe Foundation’ in the early 1960s which eventually was renamed ‘National SIDS Foundation’. Mark’s cause of death was acute bronchial pneumonia and he died just 14 days after two vaccines.

Shared with permission from his mother, Leigh Griffin:

“My sweet baby Brooks would be 4 today.

The day he was born was pure and snowy just like it is this morning and in between my tears, I can look out the window and see the glimpse of those 103 days that I got to keep him.

The joy and happiness I felt. The naivety.

A glimpse of what life looked life before his death. Before the most horrific thing that can happen to anyone, happened to my family.

I’ll never know who he is or what he’d be like.

I’ll never get to buy gifts for his birthday or light candles for his cake.

I’ll never get to bring goody bags to class and plan a birthday party for him.

I’ll never get to watch him grow past 103 days old.

I’ll never get to hug him outside of the last time I held his cold and lifeless body in the hospital when I was told that he died.

This year, his birthday falls on the same week as RFK JR’s confirmation hearing and that is no coincidence. I do not care about your politics here.

This is something that is so personal for me.

Something I’ve prayed for for the last 4 years. Someone who would expose vaccine fraud for what it is.

Time is up. It’s time to stop pretending that vaccines aren’t related to SIDS. It’s time to stop pretending that we don’t know what causes SIDS when “researchers” aren’t even looking at the one glaring common denominator.

The shots.

It’s time to stop parading around like vaccines are a religion that shall not be questioned when you’ve never looked at the ingredients and what they do in the body.

There are so many facts that I could share with you on this. It’s the glaring elephant in the room and has been since 1972 when death by vaccine injury was removed as an ICD code.

After 4 years of research, I have more righteous anger than ever. For myself and every other mother that has been told that her perfectly healthy baby died for no reason after a vaccine.

The time is up. We are not accepting this anymore.

Brooks, I know you’re helping to bring this change and use me as your voice.

The truth is like a lion. Let it lose and it will defend itself.

Happy heavenly 4th Birthday Brooks. I love and miss you to eternity and mama will never stop fighting for you and the innocent lives of babies.”
