Mom Asks Why Her 6 Month Old Infant Died After Getting 6 Vaccines
February 18, 2021 Update: Catie is suing NBC News for libel and defamation! Donate here!
CLICK HERE TO DONATE TO CATIE’S PRIVATE AUTOPSY. She is going to “Vaccine Court.”
On March 1, 2019, Catie Clobes tragically lost her six and half month old daughter, Evee, a day and a half after receiving six vaccines at her six month doctor’s visit. Like many parents who experience a devastating unexpected loss of their healthy infant, Catie reached out in our Stop Mandatory Vaccination FaceBook group in search of answers on adverse complications post vaccination. Catie shares her heartbreaking pain in her story below with additional details in the Q&A that follows. | A 4-8-19 UPDATE is posted at the end of the article.
Catie’s Story As Posted In Stop Mandatory Vaccination
Evee Gayle Clobes had her 6-month checkup and scheduled immunizations a day and a half before she passed and was found to be in perfect health, as she was her whole life. She was giggling, eating solids, and telling me “no” just the night before her passing. PRELIMINARY autopsy results have been INCONCLUSIVE, the medical examiner stated that no abnormalities were found, no visible reason to the doctor as to why she passed. She did state that they are running tests to determine if vaccinations were the cause. I do not know what tests exactly yet, but she did agree it was of concern. If anyone has any personal experiences to share related to serious complications after infant vaccinations, especially ones resulting in death, please reach out. I appreciate the support. Please share Evee’s story.
A VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) report has been filed by the clinic at my request, a lawyer has been retained. The clinic failed to document the correct location the shots were administered. I was taken back and apologized to, and her records were corrected, and another VAERS report was filed with the corrections. I am working with a lawyer who specializes in vaccination injuries/deaths. I will not accept SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) as an answer, if given. The necessary steps will be taken to find the real reason.
This feeling of pain is indescribable. The unanswered questions of how or why make it worse. I can’t comprehend any of it. I can’t stop replaying that morning in my head. None of this feels real. Definitely not fair. She was the perfect child and I’m so thankful we never left each other’s side for the short six and a half months I was blessed with her. She was my best friend. My body just aches for my baby. Listen to that laugh. I will never forget it.

I held my beautiful Evee Gayle, who passed away unexpectedly in her sleep Friday morning, in my arms for the last time today. She was in a gorgeous homemade “angel gown” donated by two amazing volunteers who made it overnight just for her. She wore a bonnet with her darling tuft of hair sticking out. Wrapped in a soft pink blanket.
Q&A with Catie:
Q: Which vaccines did your daughter receive at her 6 month visit?
Catie: DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Acellular Pertussis) Hepatitis B, IPV (Polio), and PCV-13 (Pneumococcal).
Catie: 2/27/2019
Q: What kind of information did you receive from the doctor prior to Evee receiving the vaccines? Vaccine information sheet (VIS), package insert, other information? Did you receive full informed consent about the full risks and benefits?
Catie: I don’t recall receiving anything. Something could have been with her after-visit summary, I’m not sure. I don’t recall seeing anything. The doctor only asked if Evee was receiving her vaccinations and I said yes and she said good.
Q: Can you describe more in detail about what happened?
Catie: Evee was put to bed at 9 p.m. on 2/28/19. That whole day she was giggling as usual, eating solid foods, nursing just fine, no temperature, no other signs or symptoms that I could remember. Nothing out of the ordinary. She fell asleep in my arms before I laid her down, and when I did lay her down she didn’t wake up which she usually does. Almost every other night I lay down and go to sleep with her, but I stayed up to watch basketball. I went to bed around 11 p.m. and she was still alive, in her deep sleep and breathing. I kissed her and went to sleep. I woke up to go to the bathroom the next morning, 3/1/19, around 7 a.m., and I started singing her name as I came back in. I thought she was still sleeping hard. She was on her back, the same position that I left her in the night before. I picked rolled her face over and saw that she was passed. Ambulance was called and she was pronounced dead at the Buffalo Hospital. Preliminary autopsy has showed nothing, no abnormalities, no visible reason as to why she passed.
Q: Were there any warnings or symptoms that indicated she was having an adverse reaction?
Catie: Well maybe that she was so tired, that she was sleeping so hard when I laid her down and when I went to bed. There have been a few other nights like that though. Other than that, no.
Q: Can you explain if she was given any medication after her vaccines?
Catie: No.
Q: Was she vaccinated prior to this 6 month old visit? And if so, what vaccines on which dates did she receive (including at birth)? Have you ever noticed any adverse reactions?
Catie: She received a couple vaccinations at birth. Those don’t show in the immunization record. I’m not sure why. I believe it was Hep B when she was born. Her 10/31/18 two month visit and 12/17/18 four month visit she received vaccinations, see the immunization record for which ones. [2 month visit vaccines: Rotavirus, PCV-13, IPV, Hep. B, HIB, and DTaP and at the 4 month visit, she also received: Rotavirus, PCV-13, IPV, Hep. B, HIB, and DTaP]
Q: Sounds like she was healthy and thriving prior to this 6 month visit. Can you describe Evee’s personality and where she was developmentally?
Catie: I am a work from home mother, so Evee never left my side. We were very close. She was always studying other people wherever we went. The day she received her 6 month shots, she was giggling, screaming, and laughing with this “low belly” chuckle and squeal at the nurse and doctor the entire time. They had never heard anything like it from a 6 month old. She was always smiling and talking to me. She was very strong from birth. She could hold her head up really well and had started eating solid foods. She loved her sweets. She hated apricots and baby cereal. I’m really into sports and Evee would watch them with me I think because she was attracted to all the whistles and she was just used to it. The whistles on the tv could calm her down. She had just started rolling around everywhere, from one end of the room to the other, doing it to get what she wanted to chew on. She was so smart. So vocal. So happy.
Q: Has anyone in your family suffered from a vaccine injury or adverse reaction prior to Evee?
Catie: No.
Q: When did you begin to question if her death was related to her recent vaccines?
Catie: Right away I had my doubts, but when they told me the preliminary autopsy showed nothing and was inconclusive, I knew this was no coincidence. Again, the histology and toxicology hasn’t come back on her autopsy. But like I’ve said, she was as healthy as can be, and that’s not going to show anything.
Q: What do you feel caused or contributed to Evee’s passing?
Catie: I want to make clear that I can’t be 100% certain, without proof, that this is true, but I have a feeling the vaccinations contributed to her death which is why I have shared her story, made the VAERS report, and am working with a lawyer.
Q: Have you ordered an independent autopsy?
Catie: No.
Q: What was the doctor or clinic’s response to you asking to file a VAERS report? Were they supportive? Surprised?
Catie: The nursing supervisor told me that the pediatrician didn’t see any reason as to why vaccinations would have caused her death, and she was reluctant to do it. The nursing supervisor is the one who filed the first, and the corrected one with the correct location which was documented incorrectly in her first record.
Q: Do you have other children, and if so, do you plan to continue to vaccinate? Why or why not?
Catie: 11 and 5. No comment.
Q: I’m sure this has been incredibly difficult – can you share more about how this situation has impacted you and your family?
Catie: This is a parent’s worst nightmare. Evee was my everything and my life with her has fell apart. I’ve already moved out of my apartment that I lived with her in. I feel lost and broken. There is really no way to answer this question, the situation is not real to me yet, and the feeling of pain is indescribable.
Q: What advice do you have for parents? Doctors?
Catie: I’m disappointed/disgusted with the practice of some doctors clearly ignoring so much evidence and facts about these vaccinations and the injuries/deaths they’ve caused, and sticking by the immunization schedule from the CDC (Center for Disease Control) as if they’d lose their job or license if they didn’t. I’m not saying “don’t vaccinate at all.” I don’t know enough to say something like that. I’m learning something new everyday. But it’s obvious that kids and babies don’t need all of these shots right away. They’re so dangerous, and too much for too many little bodies to handle. Taking your chance is clearly not worth it. I’m disappointed in myself for not doing more research and choosing to just trust the medical professionals.
Q: What do you wish you would have known prior to her 6 month visit?
Catie: How many babies have actually died because of receiving their immunizations. I had no idea.
Q: What else would you like to share?
Catie: The support has been overwhelming right now. Please be respectful and please give me time to respond. I’m still in heavy grieving and taking this all day by day. I also did not intend for Evee’s story to spark such controversy, but clearly it has. Again just please be mindful and respectful. Right now, this is just about remembering my beautiful daughter.
Q: What support or resources do you need?
Catie: I’m already receiving tons of support and resources. I just want her story to continue to be shared in the right places. Of anything good could come out of her death, then it’d be a life saved.
Q: You mentioned you retained a lawyer. Will you file a formal case through “Vaccine Court” and VICP?
Catie: Unable to say at this time. If results come back with any indication that vaccinations would have played a part in her death, absolutely.
I am sharing Evee’s story to spread awareness of the concerning facts surrounding her death and to share her beautiful memory, not to start fights. UPDATE: Here is the “Justice For Evee” GoFundMe to earn the funds for her private autopsy.
Update from Catie 3/22/19:
Me: “I know this is going to sound morbid, but it sounds like with everything you’re saying to me, my daughter basically “took one for the team”, right?”
Pathologist: “I don’t even know what to say to that.”
I just finished up a very heated, baffling phone conversation with the very “cold” doctor who performed my daughter’s autopsy. The autopsy is pretty much complete on their end, there have been no answers, it’s at a finalizing paperwork phase. My mother was in the room when this call took place, she heard this all! I’m not exaggerating a thing. After several calls this week to try and get this doctor on the phone, I sent an email today requesting the simple additional tests that I wanted done in my daughter’s autopsy. I was assured the day of my daughter’s death by that office that “every test” would be performed, that her receiving vaccinations a day and a half prior was of concern, and they’d be running “those kinds of tests”, that they took infant deaths very seriously. I believed them. These simple tests I requested would reveal if vaccinations had played any part in my daughter’s death. Well less than an hour after sending that email, I finally got that doctor to call me back! She refused to do the tests, each and every one.
Me: “My daughter was in perfect health and then received 6 vaccinations and died a day and a half later. Why wouldn’t you run ANY tests to check if vaccinations were the cause?”
Pathologist: “It’s not medically necessary, there is no medical reasoning, and it’s not medically approved.”
No kidding, she said this!! She refused to acknowledge that it might even be a possibility that it was the cause! State or County Medical Examiner offices refuse and will not run any tests in an autopsy that could reveal any link to vaccination as the cause of death because it is not “medically accepted.” This is a fact. They will put SIDS on the death certificate before running of these tests.
At this point, being an angry, grieving mother, I said some controversial things to try and get some sort of sensible answer out of this woman. She was like a robot. I said to her, “It sounds like you’re just reading me some script the CDC and the government have given you!” I cried in disbelief and anger. I yelled, “If this was your baby that you just lost, you’d want answers no matter what it took.” I asked her opinion on why so many shots had to be given to such a small child? She never once gave any opinion. She kept repeating that science and research shows this and that, but none of it made sense. She had nothing to say about vaccination inserts saying that “SIDS” can occur, and all the other warnings. She had no solid fact, reasoning, nothing educational or productive. I couldn’t even believe I was speaking with a doctor. It was clear she was watching her words. I told her I didn’t believe in “SIDS” and that every death has a real reason behind it. She had nothing to say to that. What was NOT surprising was that a pause of hesitation came before each of her responses.
She actually started to say to me “Listen, you are a part of a community that…” and I stopped her and I said “NO! I have vaccinated all of my children. I have always trusted medical professionals. I was never told by any doctor that more than a fever could occur after my babies getting their shots. I never knew any better because people like you shame that “community” and silence them. Don’t label me to try and discredit what I’m saying. I was “provaxx” just like you until I sadly had to find out in the worst way possible how many babies and children have died and been hurt by these shots.” That’s when I made the “take one for the team statement”.
My last words to her were “you should be ashamed, you’re a doctor, and it’s your job to find answers and save lives and that’s not what you are doing.” There was silence on her end and then I hung up.
I’m making nothing up. This is not “stuff” I’m hearing, this is what I am living. I understand the need for vaccinations, I get the government’s reasoning, the importance. Sure. The lack of care, lack of research, lack of information about gene testing and titer level testing to prevent injuries and deaths, lack of any TRUTH or answers, and the lack of any real accountability when it comes to the negative, that I don’t understand. The corruption – that is what blows my mind.
So I will continue on my fight for the answer I am looking for. I’m just also on a mission to expose and share with everyone the crazy, sick truth I am experiencing along the way. (That’s what this post is about.)
Mommy has got your back, my “Eeves Peeves”! She always has and she always will. #justiceforevee
4/8/2019 UPDATE
Posted 4-8-2019 (since removed)
Well I knew what was coming but seeing my own daughter’s death certificate felt like being thrown into a brick wall. ? “Undetermined”. I’m left with many memories (but not enough) of my beautiful baby, the answer of “undetermined”, and then some facts. Facts like…
– Evee ? was 100% healthy a day and a half before she passed as she was her whole life.
– Evee ? had an appointment a day and a half before she passed and at that appt. I was asked if Evee was getting her vaccinations and I replied “yes” and not before or after was I given any information about adverse reactions of immunizations that are listed on the vaccinations’ inserts (including death) which I now know are overwhelming
– Evee ? was given SIX vaccinations (research ingredients in vaccinations quick, if ya don’t know) in the form of 2 shots in each leg. I was clueless mother, doing what I thought was right for my baby. She was 15.1 lbs that day. ?
– Evee’s nurse carelessly misdocumented the location she put the shots which I found out after she had passed (this was corrected after intervention) as if she was just “another patient poked”.
– Evee ? had no symptoms. I found her peaceful, lifeless body March 1st, 2019, less than a day and a half after her shots.
– Insignificant single mother (me) ✋ was promised every test and measure would be taken to determine the cause of her death, including vaccination-related testing, by the medical examiner’s office, right away.
– I requested specific tests, vital to the determination of vaccines being the cause of death and was REFUSED these tests by the medical examiner/doctor. Flat out refused.
How could a healthy baby just die, and doctors and the State of Minnesota, are OK with telling me “undetermined” was the cause of death in my daughter, after all of these facts?
I’m sick. This is beyond wrong. Do you know there is a Federal fund set up to “pay off” families in situations like this?????? ? Wake up, friends who KNOW me, this is all real!! My best friend is gone and these are the facts!! ??
Undetermined. Not for long.

September 16,2019 UPDATE
My beautiful daughter, Evee Gayle Clobes died on March 1st, 2019, 36 hours after her 6 month vaccinations, Pediarix & Prevnar. Evee’s story has been told on “The Highwire with Del Bigtree“, and now it’s gotten to many supportive people around the globe.
Evee received a very poor autopsy, her brain was not studied, just weighed and externally examined. This is NOT normal practice for SIDS deaths. There were several strands of streptococcus and e. coli in Evee’s heart blood, definitely not normal, that were marked as “non signifcant”. This can only be chopped up to contamination in the lab. There was no CBC done, not even a check on Evee’s white blood count! This was either done, and kept out of the report, or purposely not done. Her spleen was 4 times it’s size, but no explanation. The cerebellum had a “hypoxic ischemic change” – that is one of the tissues that we need to examine, the lividity completely contradicts itself throughout the investigative report and the autopsy report, and the original cause of death was “undetermined” and “co-sleeping” was a concerning condition even though there is nothing showing that it was. NOTHING. We safely co-slept, and positional asphyxiation doesn’t happen in 6 1/2 month olds who can roll and hold their head up!
There is a medical examiner who is holding Evee’s tissues “hostage” because there is a lack of law in place that is allowing her to do so. A cellular infiltration triggered by an immune response after Evee’s 6 month vaccinations was found on a slide from one of these tissues, and this tissue needs to be studied completely so we can see how damaged it was. There are ways around this, and I have had to retain a lawyer separate from a “vaccine court” lawyer to help her obtain the tissues. A demand letter was sent and again, the medical examiner said that she would be retaining the tissues indefinitely as the law says that she is able to do so. The next step is a “writ of mandamus” and court. She was willing to give up any formalin fixed organ samples but these will likely do us no good. Why send the organ samples but not the tissue samples? This is really happening to me! It’s been said that an outside entity has leaned on this medical examiner to do what she is doing.
This medical examiner changed Evee’s cause of death to positional asphyxiation 2 days after I asked for the most important part of Evee’s brain, the “medulla” and asked for a confirmation test on the cellular infiltration. She made it clear that she knew of my desire to petition “vaccine court” and that she was done providing tissue to support the request. Not only that, she filled the letter with bold faced lies about pooling in Evee’s face and body which is mentioned no where in reports, and Evee’s autopsies photos show just the opposite, pooling completely in the back, consistent with being on the back when she died and awhile after.
Evee was found on her back, airways had fluid come out onto the bed sheet post-mortem, and milk on the back of her neck, other obvious proofs that she was on her back. This medical examiner also mentioned a detective in the letter who never saw my daughter’s body in the hospital, never wrote a report on my daughter’s body in any way, and the only role she played in the investigation was drafting the search warrant. This medical examiner claims to have seen an investigative report and reached out to law enforcement the couple days before she sent this “threatening” letter to me, but there is only one investigative report, and law enforcement in days after receiving the letter, said they hadn’t spoken with her recently at all.
Medical examiners are supposed to be entirely impartial and bend over backwards to help family members. This letter and her changing the cause of death in a partial manner (being clearly for vaccinations), along with holding my daughter’s tissues hostage from me for obvious reasons, are a violation of my civil rights. Actions have been taken to get information on the true actions of this office.
The goal is to obtain all tissue and organ samples, blood and fluid, and have a full pathologic study done on Evee. The next goal is to file a civil lawsuit against the medical examiner for doing this. We have a couple medical experts that are willing to testify against the positional asphyxiation diagnosis in court, and those cost money. The full pathologic study is something huge and will be very expensive. Lastly, the civil lawsuit will be incredibly expensive if we can’t find a civil lawyer to work on contigency.
There are other huge things happening that can’t be shared right now, that will change the way infant deaths are treated in the future, to make sure this never happens again. Obtaining Evee’s tissues is the main goal! Also, new articles have come to light that are filled with nothing but half truths and bold faced lies. I don’t intend to let anyone smear my daughter’s story and will file defamation lawsuits in the blink of an eye. Anything you can donate to help make all of this happen!

~ In honor and loving memory of Evee Gayle Clobes August 19, 2018 – March 1, 2019~
Please leave your condolences and support for Catie and her family below.
So very sorry for your loss. I have a daughter who had a reaction to her first set of immunizations as a baby so I stopped having any of my children immunized. That same daughter wanted to go to nursing school and was required to have the immunizations. I encouraged her to get them one at a time if she had to get them. She was given a physical first and found in the best of health. She received a DTP and had a severe reaction within 24 hours of sharp chest pains. We were on the way to the ER when they stopped. We called the clinic to report the reaction and they said it wasn’t a reaction because nobody had ever reported that as a reaction before. Such ignorant reasoning. Her nursing instructor waived the rest of her immunizations thankfully.
My daughter gad to have shots also to get into nursing school!! She became very sickly after that!! She has done so many natural remedies and has finally gotten her health back!! So scary!!
Do not Vaccinate any baby less than a year, this was told to me by my paediatrician.
So very sorry for your loss. Words are not enough.. I do not vaccinate my kids anymore since a behaviour change after a vaccine by it has always been a struggle. I have a large family and in 2013 10 kids with measles. They came all out of that well and mentally stronger.wish you all the best ?
So so sorry for your loss! Wishing you all much strength!
I hope it is not too late to have a proper autopsy performed:

My heart goes out to you… Sending love, light and prayers for answers…
Condolences to you Catie and strength be with you in your quest to get the right answers to this very painful loss of your darling daughter, Evee!
So many baby’s have died or live the rest of their life damaged and this has to stop they have to stop telling us what’s right our our children.THEY ARE KILLING AND HARMING THE REST MAKING ANYONE FORCED TO TAKE ANY SHOT’S WHAT-SO-EVER.WE NEED TO MAKE THEM STOP!
Eve’s story will save others, as my son’s story has saved lives. He is still living and now healthy, our story did not end as tragic as yours but the 8yr battle healing him after all 48 doses was 8yrs of fighting death and pure hell. I am still the odd person, criticized by society as Anti vaxxer, but he had every dose. The proof is in our lives and our children. Keep fighting for truth and answers. Keep spreading your story, no matter the hate that comes with it! You are smart, you Are brave! If you save 1 life from sharing your story, Evee’s undetermined death will no longer be in vain. Saving lives will heal the guilt that comes knowing we unknowingly did this to our babies!!
I’m so, so sorry this happened to your beautiful daughter. I’ve never lost a child so I can’t imagine the pain you’re going through. All the “if only’s” just serve to make it worse. Hugs and prayers for you and your family. This was not your fault.
My heart goes out to you, I have been researching for a few years and the way they seem to treat any person or parent after having an adverse event or death is absolutely disgusting.
Thank you for sharing the your story of your beautiful precious daughter Evee. She will live on in every baby that is saved by reading your story.
I hope some sort of peace comes your way Catie.
Sending love and best wishes for you family.
RIP EVEE ❤
I can’t imagine the pain of losing a child and my prayers go up for
This family.
My Nephew’s son became autistic days from receiving an H1N1 Swine flu vaccination at their Doctors insistence. He was 18 months very normal in development and healthy. He developed a high fever. He is now 10 years old. His future is. It angers me that these Pharmaceutical companies are immune to being sued. The FDA has too often failed to protect us from these greedy companies as well as politicians who cater to them.
I’m always telling people to get an independent toxicology report. I also believe that you can take people to court under common law because this is in fact murder which is a crime so no act or statute can protect them. The ‘autopsy’ is also a cover-up. If you file a charge of murder maybe they would do a proper investigation? We have to start challenging the order followers who administer these poisons.
I am beyond sorry and sad for your loss of your sweet baby
This is disturbing on so many levels. I have no doubt your intuition about the cause is correct. Its criminal that the tests tiy requested were not done. I don’t know if there is another way to get the answers you need but maybe some does. Thanks for sharing your story.
Catie, I am so, so sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby girl. I can’t imagine the depth of your pain and the huge void you are feeling. Please stay courageous and don’t give up in your effort to get the answers. The audacity of the medical examiner/doctor to refuse the specific tests that would give a definitive answer as to whether the vaccinations were the cause of death is beyond belief and in a way is an admission there is a high probability the shots were the cause, otherwise, they would be willing to do the tests to exonerate the vaccines.
You do have a community of supportive people. Many have gone through the same horror of losing their children or having them maimed for life. Sending you and your family much love and support. Stay strong. #justiceforevee
I can only imagine the awful pain that is within you. My son fell into a deep sleep for 16 hours after being bombarded with multiple vaccines in one visit. It scared me so much. We were lucky. He woke up. My heart breaks for you and all of the other mothers who have been through this same scenario. ?
