***BREAKING NEWS*** Idaho Mother Who Was Part of RFK Jr Anti-Vaccine Group Charged With Murder of Twin Children

[DemocratSinceBirth]

An Idaho woman who said her toddler twins died last year after being vaccinated faces murder charges connected to their deaths, authorities said.

A grand jury indicted Andrea Shaw, who is accused of suffocating her 18-month-old twins in May 2025, on two counts of first-degree murder on June 29, according to court records and a statement from the Payette Police Department.

While appearing last year on an internet show produced by Children’s Health Defense — an anti-vaccine group founded by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — Shaw said her twins died after getting vaccinated. Kennedy has not been affiliated with the group since December 2024, when he formally resigned as chairman to join President Donald Trump’s administration

1. Sigh.

🤬

[blm]

2. Oh geez.

[harumph]

3. Munchausen syndrome by proxy maybe?

[Maru Kitteh]

15. plain ol murder will do just fine. Not all mothers are good.

See Susan Smith.


My only question on this whole business is what the hell took them so long? Suffocation deaths are usually fairly easily identified and not one but two children popping up dead at the same time? Really?

[iluvtennis]

21. And Casey Anthony. n/t

[LeftInTX]

23. I'm with you 100%

[B.See]

4. So, turns out that not only did she

murder her own children and lied about it, but contributed to the endangerment and possible deaths of other children by blaming their deaths on the vaccine.

My recommendation: Lock her up and throw away the fn key.

[GiqueCee]

30. And melt the lock...

... and I'm not sure, but I think Idaho still has the death penalty. I'm not a DP supporter, but murdering your own children for likes from psychopaths like Kennedy definitely tops the list of justifiable exceptions.

[AZJonnie]

5. Nothing says "We're Not a Cult So Stop Saying That" better than engaging in a bit of ritual child sacrifice

Those poor babies

[flvegan]

6. Defense counsel: "Well, technically they died after being vaccinated. The timeline is factual.

Lots of people die after being vaccinated. My great grandmother died last year and she was vaccinated in 1953."

[AZLD4Candidate]

8. Time stamp at :35 seconds in falls this logic that conservaturds use

[GreenWave]

31. The anti-vaxxers should use this:

1796 – Edward Jenner develops and documents first vaccine for smallpox

And guess what? They are all dead today!

[QueerDuck]

7. Horrifying.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. She allegedly murdered her twins to discredit vaccines

[QueerDuck]

10. Sometimes I question my opposition to the death penalty... or the guillotine.

[generalbetrayus]

12. I'm also opposed to the death penalty,

but there are people who have been executed that I would never shed a tear over, like this woman.

[electric_blue68]

24. Being against the death penalty is sometimes Very trying!

poor little ones!

[LeftInTX]

11. OMG! I figured she murdered her twins and then blamed it on vaccines.

[Wonder Why]

14. Which means other children and adults could die because of her. They heard the first story but not the second.

Probably because Faux Noose doesn't carry stories like the second when the first one occurred.

[xuplate]

13. Why would she vaccinate her children if she is an anti vaxxer?

[BWdem4life]

17. She probably "became one" after the death of the children as a cover. nt

[LeftInTX]

16. What took them so long? She suffocated them over a year ago and she's just now being charged?

WTF? Seriously. Suffocation is easy to prove at autopsy.

[yellowcanine]

20. Suffocation may be easy to prove but who did it might not be so easy. The length of time it took to charge her may be

a problem. Suggests a lack of witnesses.

[LeftInTX]

22. It's weird. Maybe a spouse in the picture?

[yellowcanine]

28. Or a grandparent, baby sitter, etc.

They have to have some probable cause to charge her but that is not the same as proving it beyond a reasonable doubt. Unfortunately there could be anti vaxxers on the jury who would not be critical thinkers.

[yellowcanine]

18. Idaho has the death penalty for 1st Degree Murder.

But the state still has to prove it. Without a confession it may be difficult.

[MustLoveBeagles]

19. As someone who couldn't have children

Stories like this break my heart.

[calimary]

25. Mine, too!

Some people can, and do, get a giggle out of this. I can’t. All it does is make me angry on their behalf.

[ninjanurse]

26. How about abandonment?

Drop the kids off somewhere safe and go have your breakdown. That’s a better plan.

[ImNotGod]

27. Guaranteed that anyone connected to nutjob bobby jr is a nutjob psychopath like him. nt

[chouchou]

29. Oh Boy...News can truly be heart-Breaking..

[Doodley]

32. If she really believed vaccinations kill, she was incited by RFK and Trump.
