Those trials have also been acknowledged by the final report of the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes, but the report also claims that âthere is no evidence of injury to the children involved as a result of the vaccinesâ â a finding the merit of which Ms Steed disputes.
âThey didnât argue that there was a clear lack of consent from the mothers, obviously, as well as babies,â Ms Steed tells The Irish Times, speaking from her home. âBut then they said that there was no evidence of any lifelong health effects, or ill effects to these children.

Four decades after she left the Bessborough mother and baby home in Cork, Ireland, Mari Steed made a horrifying discovery. While there as an infant, she had been part of what she calls a “highly unethical” vaccine trial.
Starting at 5 months old, Steed was vaccinated at least three times with an experimental shot to prevent diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus and polio, her medical records, which she shared with NBC News, revealed. Steed, now 60, later learned the vaccine was administered without the knowledge of her birth mother, with whom she lived for the first 18 months of her life at Bessborough.
