爱达荷州博伊西讯——爱达荷州一名检察官正在寻求对一名被控谋杀罪的女性判处死刑，该女性涉嫌于2025年杀害其双胞胎幼儿。
REBECCA BOONE BOISE, Idaho — An Idaho prosecutor is seeking the death penalty against a woman charged with murder in the 2025 deaths of her twin toddlers.
23岁的安德里亚·肖（Andrea Shaw）已认罪不成立，并称这对18个月大的双胞胎在接种流感疫苗和常规儿童疫苗后生病并死亡。但佩耶特县检察官迈克·杜克（Mike Duke）在法庭文件中写道，尸检显示出与窒息一致的症状，并写道，窒息“是他们死亡唯一可以想象的解释”。
Andrea Shaw, 23, has pleaded not guilty and has said the 18-month-old twins became sick and died after receiving flu shots and routine childhood vaccinations. But Payette County Prosecutor Mike Duke wrote in court documents that an autopsy revealed symptoms consistent with smothering and wrote that suffocation “is the only conceivable explanation” for their deaths.
副检察官赖昂·西鲁塞克（Ryon Sirucek）上周通知法院，他打算寻求判处死刑。
Deputy prosecuting attorney Ryon Sirucek notified the court of his intent to seek the death penalty last week.
在法庭文件中，西鲁塞克表示，州方将试图证明，四项加重情节使得本案适用死刑：当时犯下了一起以上谋杀；杀害行为特别残忍、恶劣或残暴；被告对人类生命表现出“完全漠视”；她可能会继续对社会构成威胁。
In the court document, Sirucek said the state would try to show that four aggravating factors make capital punishment appropriate in the case: That more than one murder was committed at the time; that the killings were especially heinous, atrocious or cruel; that the defendant showed “utter disregard” for human life and that she would likely pose a continuing threat to society.
肖的律师约瑟夫·菲利塞蒂（Joseph Filicetti）没有立即回应要求置评的语音留言和短信。7月，菲利塞蒂在一条短信中写道，肖“否认一切”，州方“无法证明”刑事指控。
Shaw’s attorney, Joseph Filicetti, did not immediately respond to a voicemail and text message requesting comment. In July, Filicetti wrote in a text message that Shaw “denies anything and everything” and that the state “cannot prove” the criminal charges.
法庭记录显示，这对双胞胎于2025年5月1日在共用的床上被发现死亡。他们在八天前接种了疫苗，接种后的第二天，肖将他们送往急诊室，称他们精神萎靡、感觉发烧。法庭记录显示，医生认为这些症状是疫苗反应，双胞胎被给予泰诺和冰棒后被送回家。
The twins were found dead in their shared bed May 1, 2025, according to court records. They had been vaccinated eight days earlier, and the day after their vaccinations Shaw took them to the emergency room, reporting that they were lethargic and felt feverish. The doctor felt the symptoms were a reaction from the vaccinations, and the twins were given Tylenol and a popsicle and sent home, according to the court records.
双胞胎死亡几天后，肖参加了由儿童健康防御组织（Children’s Health Defense）制作的一档网络节目，该反疫苗组织由卫生与公共服务部部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪 Jr.（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）创立。
A few days after the twins’ deaths, Shaw went 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.
医学专家指出，涉及的这些儿童疫苗——甲型肝炎疫苗、流感疫苗和百白破疫苗——对儿童安全有效，并得到各医学团体推荐。
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.
肖也是儿童健康防御组织等人在美国联邦法院起诉美国儿科学会的原告之一，指控该组织敲诈勒索并就疫苗安全性撒谎。美国儿科学会已要求法院驳回该诉讼，称其是针对该学会及其“在疫苗政策中使用有科学依据的证据”的“最新文告”，属于一场针对性运动的一部分。大陪审团去年七月以谋杀罪起诉肖，她目前被无保释羁押。审讯定于一月举行。美联社记者乔什·凯勒蒂对此报道有贡献。
Shaw is also a plaintiff in a federal lawsuit brought by Children’s Health Defense and others against the American Academy of Pediatrics, accusing the organization of racketeering and lying about the safety of vaccinations. The American Academy of Pediatrics has asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit, calling it the “latest missive in a campaign targeting” the academy and its “use of science-backed evidence in vaccine policy.”A grand jury indicted Shaw on the murder charges in July, and she is being held without bond. A trial has been set for January. AP reporter Josh Kelety contributed.
