although nothing conclusive has been found yet - strong implications have been seen - I'll bet as researchers continue looking at these vaccines and adverse events a conclusive link will be found...

this was meant to say that, further research will show that there is a link to SIDS and DPT...

that study leaves many questions as to cause and effect...

you can't, for instance, using your own logic, that this study proves that DPT is beneficial as far as SIDS goes...

there are at least as many studies indicating that DPT is linke3d in some way to an increase in SIDS...

Well at least you're backtracking a little, but not much.

this was meant to say that, further research will show that there is a link to SIDS and DPT...

No, actually, the DPT/SIDS link has been disproved for many years, ever since the "back to sleep" program cut SIDS death almost in half since the early '90s.

that study leaves many questions as to cause and effect...

There is nothing in the study in any way, shape, matter, or form, that states or implies a "cause and effect" between DPT and an increase in SIDS.

you can't, for instance, using your own logic, that this study proves that DPT is beneficial as far as SIDS goes...

As I said earlier, it doesn't PROVE anything, but it does suggest a very stong association, and it (DPT causing a DECREASE in SIDS) should be studied further.

there are at least as many studies indicating that DPT is linke3d in some way to an increase in SIDS...

You mean current studies? I'm not aware of any.

That, of course, begs the question. Since vaccination rates have remained steady in the past decade, why have SIDS rates dropped so much?
