The cost of this will be passed along to the insurance companies and government, meaning 994 people out of 1000, will have elevated costs to their (financial) provider’s delivery expenses, when it wasn’t necessary.
Someone is making a handsome profit off this. Every child will get one, needed or not.
A question does occur to me. How many of the SIDS deaths are neglect, alcohol, or drug, neglect or malnourishment related? What percent of the SIDS cases would that account for? Half? Three quarters?
Which areas of our nation are experiencing the most SIDS deaths?
IMO, what we’re looking at is drugs, Alcohol, and some level of neglect and malnourished.
If that is true, then the demographic that causes so many other problems, it driving up these numbers as well.
Idiocy is not a victim-less situation.
Hate to rain on your attempts to be haughty, but I lost a daughter when she was four months old. This was in 1982 before there were baby monitors or sensors. There is lots of research into causes and NONE of the evidence is proved through poverty, drugs or alcohol. None. It even happens to the wealthy. So, can’t we just pray that even one child might be saved?
The original belief of SIDS was largely due to a woman who systematically murdered most of her babies.

All of my seven siblings survived infancy without a baby box or other device. The first of us to pass away did so at the age of 62. This is the responsibility of the parents.
