I’m heartbroken by the loss of my friend Kirsty Duncan. Kirsty was curious, generous, and deeply committed to helping others. She believed in knowledge, compassion, and service, and she brought those values into every conversation and every fight she took on. I learned a great deal from her, and I was lucky to call her a friend. I’ll miss her greatly. My thoughts are with her family, her friends, and all those whose lives she touched.



NEW — The family of 14-month-old Violet Skye Rodela, who died 19 days after getting an MMR and other routine vaccines, won compensation from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program for the toddler’s death. Violet was born healthy on Jan. 1, 2014, and her early development appeared normal, according to court documents. At her 12-month well-baby visit on Feb. 20, 2015, she received the MMR vaccine along with several other shots routinely recommended for children her age. In the days that followed, Violet exhibited behavior that was “concerning and out of character.” Videos taken by her father, her primary caregiver, showed that she had difficulty standing up and had a seizure, according to medical experts who reviewed the footage. About a week later, Violet’s mother witnessed the toddler acting strangely — she was staring and appeared unresponsive and confused. At the time, her mother didn’t realize that her daughter’s symptoms indicated she was having a seizure, so she didn’t seek medical attention. Violet died on March 11, 2015, 19 days after receiving the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine, along with several other routine childhood immunizations.
