So sorry
Definitely #NotJustFlu

It seems (to the lay person) that there are more heart attacks in younger people than there were pre-Covid, too.
Perhaps as a result of having had the infection?

Joseph was just 5 when he died from flu. 💔

This season alone, 281 children have lost their lives to influenza — most were unvaccinated. Flu is never “just the flu.”

Protect your family. Get vaccinated. 💉

“Our children are not statistics, Dr. Malone.”

Serese Marotta, VYF's Deputy CEO and mother who lost her son to flu in 2009, responds to discussion at June 2025 ACIP meeting: vaccinateyourfamily.org/acip-flu-death

Grayish, blue graphic with title text reading, "There Is No Acceptable Loss of a Child." Beneath the title is a text box that says, "A statement following the June 2025 ACIP meeting from Serese Marotta, VYF's Deputy CEO and mother who lost her son to flu." The bottom middle of the graphic contains a picture of Serese's son, Joseph, a small, 5-year-old white boy smiling with blonde hair, wearing an orange shirt and blue shorts white seated on a rock in front of tropical plants. Below the picture, the link for Joseph's story on the Vaccinate Your Family website is attached. The VYF logo of three lines creating a heart is located in the bottom right corner of the graphic. The graphic contains a greyish, blue background with text that reads, "Like many of you, I was horrified and deeply disappointed by Dr. Robert Malone’s statement during ACIP that indicated 250 pediatric flu deaths this season were “a modest number.” As a scientist, a private citizen, and more importantly—a bereaved mother who lost my 5-year-old son, Joseph, to flu in 2009—I struggle to understand the heartlessness of his statement, especially as someone who has been entrusted with making decisions and providing guidance to help protect American children." The VYF logo of three white lines creating the shape of a heart next to the words Vaccinate Your Family is located in the bottom right corner of the graphic. The graphic contains a greyish, blue background with text that reads, "Among other things, this statement insinuates that there is an “acceptable loss” when it comes to vaccine-preventable diseases. Let me briefly share how my life has changed since losing Joseph. Let me share how incredibly devastating it was to watch your child die in front of you in an ICU room. Let me share how incredibly hard it was to go home that morning to tell his 7-year-old sister that her little brother wasn’t ever coming home." The VYF logo of three white lines creating the shape of a heart next to the words Vaccinate Your Family is located in the bottom right corner of the graphic. The graphic contains a greyish, blue background with text that reads, "Our children are not statistics, Dr. Malone. They lived and they were a very important part of our lives. We will not let them be forgotten and we will not allow you to trivialize their existence. I will continue working alongside these parents and families to help protect public health because these losses are not acceptable. Words matter, Dr. Malone, as do the actions and decisions of the new ACIP members. Let us not forgot that lives are at stake and every life lost is a tragedy." The VYF logo of three white lines creating the shape of a heart next to the words Vaccinate Your Family is located in the bottom right corner of the graphic.
