“To say this has upset our family is an understatement,” the girl’s mother, Holly Denine, said in a text message Tuesday.
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — The mother of a young Newfoundland girl who died last summer is furious her daughter’s altered image was used online as part of an anti-vaccination campaign.
“Nevaeh loved social media, interviews and talking about her lemonade stand. She was so proud when someone stopped her and told her how her journey through treatment with cancer inspired them or helped them in their own battle with the disease.” “I don’t know how some people can be so heartless as to do something like this,” she said in a telephone interview.
Denine said vaccination can be essential, especially for children whose immune systems are weakened, and she’s angry her child was used to spread false information about vaccines.
