friends miss him dearly it was therefore

8
00:00:49,119 --> 00:00:47,030
almost natural that calls for doing

00:00:51,130 --> 00:00:49,129
something to commemorate his to

10
00:00:52,660 --> 00:00:51,140

different people from various days

12
00:00:57,790 --> 00:00:56,150
without any coordination after some

13
00:00:59,410 --> 00:00:57,800
discussion it was decided to establish

Fred to be awarded by the militant A to

25
00:01:31,149 --> 00:01:28,729

ensure parents are provided with

31
00:01:51,670 --> 00:01:49,310
credible information regarding vaccines

32
00:01:54,999 --> 00:01:51,680

choose not to vaccinate Talia David have

34
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:56,390

daughter Dana to looking off

36
00:02:01,779 --> 00:02:00,020
circumstances that would be trying even

37
00:02:04,450 --> 00:02:01,789
without the additional stress of dealing

38
00:02:06,999 --> 00:02:04,460
with those who try to spread fear and

39
00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:07,009
misinformation we are unanimous in our

40
00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:08,239

87
00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:08,910

everything else

92
00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:30,429
we were moved just in complete shock

93
00:05:35,609 --> 00:05:32,889
have suddenly can have a husband baby

94
00:05:40,709 --> 00:05:35,619
and then seeing what she went to and how

95
00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:40,719
she's done 30 and just we had 15 medical

96
00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:42,639
staff child to save her in conference

97
00:05:53,860 --> 00:05:50,429
done and but nothing shocked us more

98
00:05:56,769 --> 00:05:53,870
against the new sort of reaction after

99
00:05:58,470 --> 00:05:56,779
she died and we started singing the

100
00:06:01,590 --> 00:05:58,480
national media

101
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:01,600
being in these papers and it was there

102
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:05,490
that before she she fought and she

103
00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:07,930
suffered so much we have to speak up for

104
00:06:19,010 --> 00:06:14,670
but we wouldn't be able to speak up for

105
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:19,020
her continue to do so that's cool I

106
00:06:24,630 --> 00:06:22,210
clearly remember after the first Sunday

107
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:24,640
night episode aired it was a very

108
00:06:33,150 --> 00:06:29,970
surreal experience and somehow i noted

109
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:33,160
the whole Facebook thing in that

110
00:06:39,030 --> 00:06:36,490
although he came about because my sister

111
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:39,040
works on tonight advertising so anyone I

112
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:40,810
knew it was just doing something to help

113
00:06:44,970 --> 00:06:43,240
so when all the Facebook just to see

114
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:44,980
what some of the reaction have been I

115
00:06:49,650 --> 00:06:47,650
did a Google of David's name I came

116
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:49,660
across this skeptics property to

117
00:06:56,180 --> 00:06:53,050
reference a woman called Mary you and I

118
00:06:58,310 --> 00:06:56,190
a group her blog

119
00:07:00,590 --> 00:06:58,320
sing what supportive and then I went on

120
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:00,600
the facebook and I saw these many

121
00:07:07,220 --> 00:07:04,410
rainbow braces could reach it and this

122
00:07:10,670 --> 00:07:07,230

125
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:27,090
because at a time we were just starting

126
00:07:33,140 --> 00:07:30,210
with raising Dana but then also

127
00:07:37,129 --> 00:07:33,150
struggling with immunising feature

128
00:07:42,739 --> 00:07:39,589
in a way you've been able to help us

129
00:07:45,110 --> 00:07:42,749
pick ourselves up move forward and learn

130
00:07:48,260 --> 00:07:45,120

131
00:07:53,180 --> 00:07:48,270

133
00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:55,710

134
00:08:05,820 --> 00:07:58,450
termly grateful for everything we have

135
00:08:10,530 --> 00:08:05,830

come

147
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:52,519
and a most devastating time to say that

148
00:08:59,420 --> 00:08:55,610
people are out there but so I guess what

149
00:09:02,690 --> 00:08:59,430
we're saying is you we

150
00:09:05,269 --> 00:09:02,700
very graciously accept this award but we

151
00:09:07,660 --> 00:09:05,279
will be able to promote reason of

152
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:07,670
Awesome for everything that you do and

153
00:09:18,730 --> 00:09:16,720
all up to what I wanted to say to finish

154
00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:18,740
was that what we're doing is we've been

155
00:09:24,190 --> 00:09:20,720
in contact with them Professor Peter

156
00:09:26,830 --> 00:09:24,200

00:09:33,510 --> 00:09:30,770
study in the next few weeks they're

160
00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:33,520
looking at the possible link between

161
00:09:38,830 --> 00:09:35,750
strengthening mothers antibodies will

162
00:09:41,860 --> 00:09:38,840
hopefully help children that do get

163
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:41,870
pertussis fight it so we think it's gone

164
00:09:46,269 --> 00:09:43,490
to a pretty really cause and they're

165
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:46,279
also going to be working
