Chances are, if you’ve been keeping tabs on the COVID “coverup,: you’ve come across this story that began to unfold in 2022. There was a sudden spike in SIDS cases in Ottawa, Canada, where nine babies died shortly after their mothers received the vaccine. One detective, named Helen Grus, took it upon herself to investigate these incidents. Yet, simply for doing her job and delving into the vaccine’s possible role, she found herself suspended and vilified. The Ottawa police settled with one of the families who felt their privacy was breached, simply because a detective was determined to get to...

In an April 16th interview with Polly Tommey, Dr. Paul Thomas, explained how the American medical establishment incentivizes pediatricians to fully vaccinate their young patients, and fines them if they don’t. Vaccinations that have been proven to cause more death and harm than the diseases they are said to be preventing. “Well, as other practices started kicking people out of their practices if they weren't following the CDC schedule, I was getting more and more families who didn't want to do any vaccines. Which was fine with me. So we took an entire month of every single billing sheet. And...

On a hot August afternoon, I finished a call with a client as I opened the door to the room of my 2-year-old daughter, Alice. She’d slept a little longer than usual, and I needed to wake her so we could retrieve my 4-year-old daughter, Grace, from school. I leaned over Alice in her crib, and she was stiff and blue. Bad, bad, very bad ran through my brain. I started CPR, counting two breaths per 30 chest thrusts, and somehow managed to call 911. Eventually, the paramedics arrived. They told me to stand back. I did. Shortly after, I...

A 15-month-old girl from Greenwood Lake, New York, died two days after receiving routine vaccinations during a wellness checkup, leaving her family searching for answers. Melody Rain Palombi-Malmgren went into cardiac arrest and died on Oct. 19, after receiving three vaccines—for varicella, DTaP, and Hib—at her 15-month wellness visit on Oct. 17 with the Herbert Kania Pediatric Group in Warwick, New York, according to News12 the Bronx. “She was a perfectly healthy child,” her mother, Katherine Palombi, told News12. “I’m in complete shock.” Palombi told News12 that Melody had waved goodbye to her that morning as she dropped her off...

Heartwarming footage shows a three-month-old baby girl smiling after she was revived by an off-duty nurse when the infant stopped breathing on a plane. Tamara Panzino was a passenger on Spirit Airlines Flight 1691 on Thursday night from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Orlando, Florida, when a three-month-old infant called Anjelé suddenly became unresponsive about 30 minutes after takeoff, Fox35 reported. Panzino said she quickly reacted to the medical emergency on the aircraft by massaging the baby's chest and legs. Soon after, the baby was heard breathing again, much to the relief of her terrified parents.

My newborn daughter passed away in her sleep yesterday. She was 2 weeks old and had just been to the doctor the day before. She had gained weight since birth and was doing amazing! The only issue of note was that her temperature read low at the doctor. They had us do skin to skin and it went up on the 3rd reading so we were allowed to leave. The next morning we found her. My heart is breaking and we have no answers as to why this would happen. I hope some of you may be able to please...

The equation for the latest way to protect newborns from sudden infant death goes as follows: Technology + Smart, Practical Thinking = Greater Safety Credit doctors and nurses from three university medical schools for developing an ingeniously straightforward method that reinforces essential child care methods for sleep-deprived parents – at a time when they're most prone to overlook them. Specifically, these professionals determined, as stated in a news release announcing the findings, that a "series of educational videos delivered by text or email successfully encouraged new mothers to use safe sleep practices for their babies, reducing the risk of sudden...

The American Academy of Pediatrics is calling for infants to be kept in their parents’ bedroom at night for six months to a year to reduce the risk of sleep-related death. The new recommendations say babies should sleep on a separate surface, in a crib or bassinet, and never on something soft. The guidelines say babies should sleep in the same room as their parents, preferably until they’re a year old. The nation’s most influential pediatricians’ group says it updated its safe-sleep guidance because of studies suggesting that room-sharing reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome by as much...

“Baby Bernie,” the cheerful infant who won the affections of people of all political stripes after his mom posted photos of him greeting Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in a white-haired wig and over-sized glasses, has died at the age of 4 months. Oliver Jack Carter Lomas-Davis of Los Angeles died Feb. 25. His aunt Anastasia Lomas told The Associated Press on Thursday the cause was Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The “Baby Bernie” nickname came after Oliver’s mother, Susan Lomas, posted pictures on Facebook and Twitter of the baby and Sanders meeting.

A 4-year-old South Carolina boy touched hearts around the world when he told a mall Santa that his Christmas wish list included Santa's prayers for a baby on life support in Las Vegas. Prestyn Barnette met Santa at the Dutch Square Mall in Columbia., S.C., a week ago. First, the shy little boy asked for a toy train. Then he asked St. Nick to pray for Baby Knox, a 2-month-old being kept alive on a respirator. Prestyn learned about the infant through his grandmother's Facebook prayer group. "Santa said we will pray now and he got down and prayed," the...

Infants dying unexpectedly and suddenly in their sleep might have underlying abnormalities in their brain stems, a new research finds. Around 50 infants who died of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) were reviewed upon by the researchers. In some of the reviewed cases few infants died because of asphyxia. Asphyxia is condition when oxygen intake is restricted. Most possible causes for this condition is unsafe sleeping conditions like sleeping face down in pillow. Reasons of few other infant deaths turned out to be unclear as sleep environment was completely safe so there would not have asphyxia. Babies who died in...

A new study suggests that sudden infant death syndrome is caused by insufficient levels of a brain chemical that helps control breathing during sleep, HealthDay reports. Researchers looked at levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter, and the enzyme trytophan hydroxylase, which makes serotonin, in 35 babies who died of SIDS. They found that serotonin levels were 26 percent lower and enzyme levels were 22 percent lower in babies who died of SIDS than in another group of babies who died of other causes. The author of the study, Hannah Kinney of Children's Hospital Boston, says that the research confirms SIDS is...

Matthew Tryson Bryant, the 3-month-old son of Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Matt Bryant, died Wednesday. “I don’t have a lot of details,” coach Jon Gruden said after practice. “It’s just a horrible tragedy, and I can’t explain it.” Bryant, a seventh-year pro in his fourth season with Tampa Bay, kicked a winning field goal in overtime against Chicago last Sunday. Two years ago, he made the third-longest field goal in NFL history, a 62-yarder to beat Philadelphia. “The entire Buccaneer family is deeply saddened by this tragedy,” general manager Bruce Allen said in a team statement. “The Bryants have been...

[snip] Scientists still do not know the exact mechanisms that cause SIDS, but this study suggests that a fan circulating air while the baby is sleeping reduces the risk of SIDS primarily because the carbon dioxide the baby breathes out is recirculated around the room and not reinhaled by the baby. The findings are the latest step in research that has helped reduce the incidence of SIDS by 56 percent between 1992 and 2003. There are still about 2,500 SIDS deaths in the United States each year, according to the American SIDS Institute. Dr. De-Kun Li, the same researcher who...

Researchers Say That Air Cirulation From Fans May Reduce Risk of SIDSWith all the expensive safety products marketed to new parents -- baby-safe furniture, strollers with mosquito nets and BPA-free bottles -- researchers have found that using a simple fan in the bedroom can also save lives. Having a fan running near a sleeping infant was associated with a 72 percent decrease in the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, researchers reported in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine. "Obviously, further research needs to be done," said Betty McEntire, executive director for the American SIDS Institute in...

Bucs place kicker Matt Bryant’s infant son Matthew Tryson died Wednesday, Bucs coach Jon Gruden announced following the team’s practice

WASHINGTON — European scientists have shed new light on the causes of the devastating, inexplicable syndrome known as sudden infant cot death, according to a study published Thursday. The syndrome, which strikes fear into every parent's heart, affects seemingly healthy babies aged between a month to a year, and is main cause of death among infants of that age in developed nations. Now researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Italy have revealed that an imbalance of the neuronal signal, serotonin, in the brainstem caused sudden death in mice, according to the study in Science magazine. The brainstem, which...

The rate at which infants die in the United States has dropped substantially over the past half-century, but broad disparities remain among racial groups, and the country stacks up poorly next to other industrialized nations. In 2004, the most recent year for which statistics are available, roughly seven babies died for every 1,000 live births before reaching their first birthday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says. That was down from about 26 in 1960. Babies born to black mothers died at two and a half times the rate of those born to white mothers, according to the CDC...

(Unsafe sleep environments blamed) The number of infants who died after being placed in an unsafe sleep environment has skyrocketed since December, Milwaukee health officials say. Milwaukee Health Commissioner Bevan Baker called the trend "alarming" and a "crisis" that the city must address by rethinking how to tell people not to sleep in the bed with their babies and to always place them on their backs whenever they put them to sleep.Baker says he understands that parenting is a tough job. "Many of these families tell us that it was just a temporary lapse or that they just sat or...

Scientists find the key to cot deathsBy Nigel Hawkes, Health Editor   It is hoped that babies with the brain abnormality that leads to cot death may be identified by a scan in the womb   SCIENTISTS believe that they have found the underlying cause of cot death, a condition that claims the lives of hundreds of babies every year.  Research into dozens of infant fatalities identified as the result of sudden infant death syndrome showed that the victims had a brain abnormality that prevents the detection of insufficient oxygen levels in the body. As a result, babies with...
