Idaho: Andrea Shaw, a 23 years old Idaho lady who for years said her two toddlers died as a result of standard childhood vaccines has been charged with their murders after authorities determined the infants were purposefully suffocated. Authorities suspect that the deaths, which occurred years apart, were contrived to seem as abrupt medical tragedies while the mother openly propagated anti-vaccine beliefs.

According to prosecutors, further investigations have revealed information that contradicts the earlier conclusions about the children's deaths. Investigators now believe the woman purposefully smothered both kids, resulting in multiple counts of first-degree murder. Officials claimed there is no indication that the immunisations caused or contributed to the children's deaths.

The matter has received extensive attention since the mother's allegations have been repeated in anti-vaccine circles for years. Prosecutors said the charges highlight the need of factual investigations and warned against spreading disinformation associating routine immunisations to inexplicable infant deaths. The accused is required to appear in court on the allegations.
