'Our sister died of cancer because of our mum's conspiracy theories'

In a tragic incident, Paloma Shemirani, a young woman, died of cancer after refusing chemotherapy due to her mother's conspiracy theories. Paloma's brothers, Aryana and Amin, have come forward to share their story, expressing their grief and frustration over the situation. According to the brothers, their mother, Sasha Ayad, is a prominent figure in the anti-vaccination movement and has been promoting various conspiracy theories related to health and medicine. Paloma, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, initially agreed to undergo chemotherapy but later changed her mind due to her mother's influence. The brothers deeply regret that their sister's life was cut short because of their mother's beliefs, which they believe directly contributed to Paloma's decision to forgo potentially life-saving treatment. They hope that by sharing their story, they can raise awareness about the dangers of conspiracy theories and the importance of seeking professional medical advice, especially in critical health situations.
