‘Perfectly Healthy’ 15-Month-Old Dies Two Days After Receiving Vaccination


A 15-month-old girl from Greenwood Lake, New York, tragically passed away from cardiac arrest.

Melody Rain Palombi-Malmgren passed away on Oct.19, only two days after receiving three vaccines.

The Children’s Health Defense shares more on the story:

Melody Rain Palombi-Malmgren went into cardiac arrest and died on Oct. 19, after receiving three vaccines — for varicella, DTaP and Hib — at her 15-month wellness visit on Oct. 17 with the Herbert Kania Pediatric Group in Warwick, New York, according to News12 the Bronx.

“She was a perfectly healthy child,” her mother, Katherine Palombi, told News12. “I’m in complete shock.”

Palombi told News12 that Melody had waved goodbye to her that morning as she dropped her off at her grandmother’s before leaving for work. As soon as she got to work, Palombi’s mother called, saying Melody was having trouble breathing.

“I was in complete shock. Like, what just happened?” Palombi recalled. “Is she choking on something? Did she get into something? That was my first thought because I’m like, this child is perfectly healthy,” Palombi said.

Melody was rushed to St. Anthony’s Hospital by ambulance after her grandmother performed CPR while waiting for paramedics to arrive.

Palombi rushed home, where she found a police officer waiting. He offered to rush her to the hospital “because he knew how serious it was,” she recalled.

“By the time I got to the hospital, they put me in a room,” Palombi said, “and they just kept saying, ‘We’re working on her.’”

At what point will the government recognize the dangers of these vaccines we are using on our kids?

This is not normal.

A healthy baby should not be dying of cardiac arrest.

News 12 Westchester covers more on the story:

The National Center for Biotechnology Information says allergic reactions to vaccines are rare and are caused by either the vaccine itself or components – like egg and gelatin, and less frequently, yeast or latex.
The NCBI reports that the average rate for immediate reactions to vaccines, with a range in symptoms from mild to fatal, in children and adolescents is .22 per 100,000 doses. It documented that delayed reactions can be seen 48-96 hours after a vaccination but that symptoms are typically considered harmless.
Melody’s autopsy is pending.
Palombi says her daughter was previously hospitalized with a high fever and body rash after receiving routine vaccines at 2 months old but claims physicians told her then it was likely a virus rather than an allergic reaction.
The child’s mother says she believes in both instances that the vaccines were too much for her daughter’s body to handle.
“Trust your gut and don’t let them push anything on to your children that you don’t want to do,” says Palombi. “I just want to spread awareness in Melody’s name. Maybe she can save other children.”
