This case is incredibly emotionally charged — for parents, for clinicians, and for anyone who has lived through the fear, confusion, or loss surrounding infant health. There’s only so much I can say in a public post, but there is much more I want to unpack, including details, questions, and implications that aren’t appropriate to fully explore here. I’ll be sharing my deeper thoughts, analysis, and the conversations we need to have — privately — in the subscriber-only section. If you want to read the deeper dive, please consider subscribing.
法院裁定巨额赔偿：11周大的嬰兒Anna死於疫苗引起的腦病
Court Orders Massive Compensation: 11-Week-Old Baby Anna Died From Vaccine-Induced Encephalopathy.
A Landmark Case, an 11-Week-Old Baby, and a Conversation Our Society Still Can’t Handle Some topics in pediatrics are controversial. Some are emotionally charged. And then there are the topics that feel almost radioactive—where good people whisper instead of speak, and where nuance gets buried under fear and ideology. This story is one of those. Last week, something unprecedented happened: For the first time in over a decade, the U.S. Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) acknowledged and compensated a SIDS-like infant death as caused by vaccination. This is not opinion. This is a legal ruling. This is now part of the public record. The case involves 11-week-old Anna Sims, who died in 2013, just hours after her routine Pediarix, Hib, PCV13, and RotaTeq vaccines. Her parents fought for nearly 12 years. And finally—after expert testimony, appeals, and attempts by HHS to overturn the decision—the court sided with the family. The official ruling: Anna died from vaccine-induced encephalopathy. Not SIDS. Not “undetermined.” Not “unexplained.” A vaccine-triggered brain injury. This matters—for many reasons.

一個具有里程碑意義的案例，一個11周大的嬰兒，以及我們社會仍然無法處理的對話
兒科的一些話題是有爭議的。 有些人情緒激動。 然後是感覺幾乎是放射性的話題——好人低語而不是說話，細微差別被埋沒在恐懼和意識形態之下。
這個故事就是其中之一。
上週，發生了一件史無前例的事情：
十多年來，美國首次 疫苗傷害賠償計劃（VICP）承認並補償了因接種疫苗而導致的類似SIDS的嬰兒死亡。
這不是觀點。
這是一個法律裁決。
這現在是公共記錄的一部分。
該案件涉及11周大的Anna Sims，她於2013年去世，就在她接種了常規Pediarix、Hib、PCV13和RotaTeq疫苗幾個小時後。 她的父母戰鬥了將近12年。 最後——在專家證詞、上訴和HHS試圖推翻該決定之後——法院站在了家屬一邊。
官方裁決：
Anna死於疫苗引起的腦病。
不是小島嶼發展中國家。
不是「不確定」。
不是「無法解釋」。
疫苗引發的腦損傷。
這很重要——原因有很多。
