当局表示，一名自称其双胞胎幼儿于去年接种疫苗后死亡的爱达荷州女性，如今面临与两名幼儿死亡相关的谋杀指控。
根据法庭记录和佩耶特警察局的一份声明，大陪审团于6月29日起诉了安德烈娅·肖，她被指控于2025年5月窒息杀害自己18个月大的双胞胎儿子，面临两项一级谋杀罪指控。
去年，肖在由“儿童健康辩护”组织制作的一档网络节目中称，她的双胞胎在接种疫苗后死亡。该反疫苗组织由美国卫生与公众服务部部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪 Jr. 创立。肯尼迪自2024年12月起不再与该组织有任何关联，当时他正式辞去主席职务，加入唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府团队。
23岁的肖于周二被博伊西警方逮捕，并于周四被传讯。她目前被关押，保释金为200万美元。若被判定一级谋杀罪成立或认罪，她可能面临终身监禁或死刑。她的下一次法庭听证会定于7月14日举行。
代表肖的律师乔·菲利切蒂在一条短信中表示，肖“否认所有指控”，并称州政府“无法证明”这项刑事指控。
“我们将全心全意地为她辩护，”菲利切蒂补充道。
佩耶特警察局和佩耶特县检察官办公室周一拒绝置评。
佩耶特警察局局长加里·A·马歇尔在一份声明中表示：“由于此案目前正处于法庭审理阶段，佩耶特警察局不会就案件事实或证据进一步置评。未来的信息将通过司法程序公布。”

哥伦比亚广播公司下属的KBOI电视台在2025年5月报道称，在发现18个月大的双胞胎遗体后，警方当时表示“怀疑存在谋杀行为，目前该事件作为凶杀案处理”，但未指认任何嫌疑人。
在2025年5月参加“儿童健康辩护”组织的节目时，肖称她在双胞胎接种流感和其他疾病疫苗几天后，发现他们死在了自己的房间里。
“两名护士同时为他们接种了疫苗，”肖说，“然后他们就生病了。”
医学专家指出，涉事的儿童疫苗——甲型肝炎疫苗、流感疫苗和白喉-破伤风-百日咳联合疫苗——对儿童来说安全有效，并得到多个医学团体的推荐。
肖还是“儿童健康辩护”等方针对美国儿科学会提起的联邦诉讼的原告之一。该诉讼于1月在华盛顿联邦法院提起，指控美国儿科学会存在敲诈勒索行为，称其“在一个数十年来向美国家庭欺诈性宣传儿童疫苗接种计划安全性的企业中扮演核心角色”。在诉讼中，肖被描述为一名“孩子在按照美国儿科学会指南进行常规疫苗接种后死亡的母亲”。
美国儿科学会已请求法院驳回该诉讼，并在4月的法庭文件中称，这是“针对该学会及其‘在疫苗政策中使用基于科学的证据’的运动的最新攻击”。
今年1月，美国卫生官员对儿童疫苗指南进行大范围修改，取消了多项通用推荐，这引发了儿科医生和其他专家的警惕。领导反疫苗运动多年的肯尼迪表示，这些修改使美国更好地与其他同等国家接轨，“同时加强了透明度和知情同意权”。
今年3月，一名联邦法官叫停了这些修改，并表示肯尼迪在改组关键的疫苗咨询委员会时可能违反了联邦程序。但该法官的命令并非最终裁决；这些临时禁令将持续到庭审或即决判决裁定出炉为止。
Idaho mother who claimed her toddler twins died after being vaccinated now faces murder charges

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.
Shaw, 23, was arrested by Boise police officers Tuesday and arraigned Thursday. She is being held on a $2 million bond and could face life in prison or the death penalty if convicted or if she pleads guilty to first-degree murder. Her next court appearance is July 14.
Joe Filicetti, an attorney representing Shaw, wrote in a text message that she “denies anything and everything” and that the state “cannot prove” the criminal charges.
“We will defend her with wholeheartedness,” Filicetti added.
The Payette Police Department and the Payette County prosecutor’s office declined to comment Monday.
“Because this case is now pending before the court, the Payette Police Department will have no further comment regarding the facts of the case or the evidence. Future information will be presented through the judicial process,” Chief Gary A. Marshall said in a statement.

CBS affiliate KBOI reported in May of 2025 that after the bodies of 18-month-old twins had been discovered, police said at the time, “Foul play is suspected, and the incident is being handled as a homicide at this time,” but did not identify any suspects.
During her May 2025 appearance on the Children’s Health Defense show, Shaw said she found her twins dead in their room days after they got vaccinated for the flu and other diseases.
“They had got their shots at the same time by two nurses at the same time,” Shaw said. “And they got sick.”
Medical experts point out that the childhood vaccines at issue – hepatitis A, influenza and DTaP – are safe and effective for kids and recommended by various medical groups.
Shaw is also a plaintiff in a federal lawsuit brought by Children’s Health Defense and others against the American Academy of Pediatrics. The lawsuit, which was filed in January in federal court in Washington, accuses the American Academy of Pediatrics of racketeering for its “central role in an enterprise that has defrauded American families about the safety of the childhood vaccine schedule for several decades.” In the lawsuit, Shaw is described as a mother “whose children died following routine vaccinations administered according to AAP guidelines.”
The American Academy of Pediatrics has asked the court to dismiss the suit, asserting in an April court filing that it is the “latest missive in a campaign targeting” the academy and its “use of science-backed evidence in vaccine policy.”
In January, pediatricians and other experts became alarmed when U.S. health officials made broad changes to childhood vaccine guidance, dropping several universal recommendations. Kennedy, who helped lead the anti-vaccine movement for years, said the changes better align the U.S. with peer nations “while strengthening transparency and informed consent.”
In March, a federal judge blocked the changes and said Kennedy likely violated federal procedures in revamping a key vaccine advisory committee. But the judge’s order is not the final word; the blocks are temporary, pending either a trial or a decision for summary judgment.
