Nathan Silvermintz, 1991

When Miriam Silvermintz of Fair Lawn N.J took her seven month old son Nathan to the pediatrician for his third series of vaccinations on Feb. 18,1991, she was thrilled to hear the doctor say her baby was growing beautifully. Just five hours later, as Nathan lay in his crib, he shrieked in pain. Terrified. Miriam ran in and cradled her baby in her arms. Nathan collapsed, his eyes rolling back in his head, as he suffered a severe seizure. “We called 911, and they worked on him for 45 minutes,” says Miriam. “but I knew when I held him in my arms that he was dying.” What killed Nathan? “When I first called the pediatrician after the ambulance arrived, he said Nathan probably was just having a reaction to his DPT shot,” Miriam recalls. “But when Nathan died, the doctor did an about-face and said it had nothing to do with the vaccine.”

(In 1994, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims awarded damages to the Silvermintzes under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986.)
