Ah, got it. Yes, you are right. Sorry.

It’s been over a decade since that terrible day.

For everyone who apparently just scanned the article, this happened prior to 2014.

Regarding SIDS, at two, babies are walking, and easily strong enough to turn themselves. It’s only babies under 6 months who are as yet unable to reposition themselves that are most at risk. At two, this toddler would have naturally been changing positions as she slept. This is just “One Of Those Things”, an unfortunate happenstance.

It may be linked to febrile sezures, according to recent research.

I witnessed my son have a febrile seizure many years ago., at around 20 months. Vomit welled from his mouth, no heaving or retching or struggling - he hated to vomit. I turned him on his side. He was limp and unresponsive and then he started going blue. I picked him up and shook him a bit, thinking, phone, CPR, both, how, breathe... and he started breathing.

There was no flailing or shaking, no noise. I might not have even have noticed if it weren’t for the vomit, even though I was in the room with him.

Imagine an unwitnessed seizure lasting two minutes longer. He didn’t even have a high fever.

My heart goes out to all parents who lost a child like this. I don’t think there’s call to blame vaccines or Covid vaccines, unless the numbers have gone up. And don’t blame the parents and think not me, I am too smart to be in that place. There is no perfect shield against misfortune and grief.

Yes, at age 2, probably just one of those very sad things. Speaking of SIDS, some years back Australia (or New Zealand, I forget) banned fire-retardant chemicals on all baby clothes and bedding. Their rate of crib death plunged.

It must be horrible to go through that.

'It may be linked to febrile sezures, according to recent research.'

Yes, and that was the point of the article - to alert people to new findings on the issue.

“Of 2605 infant deaths reported to VAERS from 1990 through 2019, 58 % clustered within 3 days post-vaccination and 78.3 % occurred within 7 days post-vaccination, confirming that infant deaths tend to occur in temporal proximity to vaccine administration.”

Long ago, I read about the caution when applying baby powder on the very young. Their lungs are small and can’t handle much powder.

What does that have to do with a toddler dying 10 years ago?

I don’t care what you may think about the vaccination; it’s your business. I’m just tired of all the jumping-to-conclusions by people who don’t even bother to absorb the facts of a story.

That tells me something about the rationality of some of the rabid anti-vaxxers.

I was responding to your post:

“They developed a lot of protocols about how babies should be positioned, bedding types, etc.”

And simply citing government stats demonstrating the temporal proximity between SIDS and baby jabs.

Your last sentence tells me plenty about your rationality.

“This happened 10 years ago. Just what experimental toxin migh possibly been involved?”

I read an article where a woman EMT among other things had to respond to SIDS incidents. Per the data she kept around half of the deaths occurred within a few days of the general vaccinations.

At a party 5 years ago I met a woman who had a daughter that had been badly vaccine injured. Subsequently she and had done considerable research and gave me as summary that pretty much reflects the position of RFK Jr. I really didn’t give it much credence at the time.

Two separate people who independently came to the same conclusion.

I also have a acquaintance whose both parents are doctors and refused to have her vaccinated. She’s fine and makes me wonder what her parents know that the rest of us do not.

I was responding to DallasBiff, regarding SIDS in the 60s and 70s. He/She seemed to believe it just ‘disappeared’. It didn’t just ‘disappear’; precautions against it were developed.

The common childhood vaccines from a decade ago could not be called experimental. I do have doubts about the current schedule of childhood immunizations and I acknowledge vaccine injuries exist.

And I was responding to your response re: SIDS.

I would have thought that obvious.

“The common childhood vaccines from a decade ago could not be called experimental.”

They are definitely not experimental but probably have more risk than we are aware of. I’m merely relating what was related to me so one can draw their own conclusion.

SIDS didn’t disappear.

It happened in our family in the 2000’s.

Saddest thing in the world is a funeral for a little baby. Makes me sad now just thinking about it.

Thanks. I did skim the article. Didn’t know it was 10 years ago.

I had an employee that it happened to in the ‘90’s. It was brutal. One the entire family, extended family, and her close friends.
