== Vaccines and SIDS ==

The health authorities are also totally sure that vaccines do not cause SIDS, which is a fancy name for "we don't know why babies are dying after their shots." The full term is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, btw.

With the drop in vaccines, we should also see a drop in SIDS cases. And we are seeing that, actually.

Is there a mechanism for vaccine-induced SIDS? There are multiple proposed mechanisms for how vaccines kill babies and I've listed some below in no particular order. They range from microbiome disruption to an autoimmune reaction in the brain disrupting orexin production to thiamine deficiency, all in conjunction with vaccination. There is a dose-response curve: the more doses of vaccine, the more we see SIDS. Even worse, parents are being blamed for "shaken-baby syndrome" when it's actually the vaccines in most cases.

Thiamin deficiency + vaccination:

Vaccines cause apnea, as this settlement by the US Court of Claims demonstrates:

"Dr. Miller stated that vaccinations can be an extrinsic risk factor in SIDS, as they prompt the upregulation of cytokines that, among other things, produce fever. Tr. 62-63. He testified that, based on the literature, there is a scientifically-plausible mechanism for vaccinations acting as the extrinsic risk factor in SIDS in much the same way as a mild infection. He explained that when you get a vaccination or a whole group of them at once, as J.B. did, it evokes a response which includes the production of cytokines, and that among those cytokines are IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-1ß. The physiological studies have shown that these can raise body temperature by producing fever, which is a risk factor, and they can inhibit the activity of 5-HT neurons in the medulla causing prolonged apneas and interference with autoresuscitation. Tr. 54, 62-63. When the vaccines are administered in the presence of the defects of the medulla, during the critical development period, they are likely to have a similar effect as mild infection that may cause a failure of the medullary response system and ultimately a death. Tr. 54."

The apnea may come from disruption of orexin/hypocretin production:

Sudden infant death syndrome research breakthrough suggests biological factor

Lower levels of protein-like orexin in the brain found in babies who died from Sids is the first potential biological breakthrough for cot death

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/nov/16/sudden-infant-death-syndrome-cot-death-biological-cause-research

The title is wrong, however; it's not "the first biological breakthrough for cot death" as there are other potential mechanisms that have been looked at for over 100 years. In any case, continuing with Orexin:

Do we see a signal in VAERS? Yes, we do:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3170075/

This is not specifically related to SIDS but it does show that the more vaccines we give the higher the risk of adverse events (which includes death, if memory serves):

The orexin mechanism also likely played a role in the narcolepsy associated with the 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine:

Vaccine-induced encephalitis to blame for "shaken baby syndrome" diagnosis at least some of the time. Tragically, parents are being accused of murder and sent to jail simply because they got their children vaccinated:

"In addition to this, retinal hemorrhages have been attributed to a vast array of causes, including MMR and DTP vaccines.(21)...It is noteworthy that vaccines such as pertussis are used to induce allergic encephalomyelitis in laboratory animals.

This is characterized by brain swelling and hemorrhaging similar to that caused by mechanical injuries.

Web Archive will not bring this up directly for some reason:

Shaken Baby Syndrome or Vaccine-Induced Encephalitis?

So I've copied the text to a google doc:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J1O2CcwfnFoLFaLRRserLy8gAKwM2cX4-n-1gk91iwg/edit?usp=sharing

Vaccine-Induced Encephalitis can also lead to autism (but I'll stick with SIDS for this comment after this reference):

"Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain. Patients who suffer encephalitis can be left with physical disabilities, mental deterioration and persistent cognitive dysfunction – which matches the definition of autism...Vaccines can cause encephalitis and encephalitis can cause autism."

Hillary Butler has done excellent work. From a thread she wrote:

Goldwater actually first discussed this [microbiome disruption leading to vaccine-induced death in babies] in 1989 with Bettelheim this paper:

Toxigenic Escherichia coli associated with sudden infant death syndrome

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2682151

.... when he discussed his own research, which was triggered by a doctor I was friends with, and worked with and knew until his death, Dr Robert Reisinger. Goldwater misreferenced his work actually, but hey.

And Goldwater has published many papers with other authors, since, repeating that, and expanding on it.

Dr Reisinger explained exactly how vaccination could increase the risk of SIDS even in the absence of a prone position.

Also, all of Dr. Archie Kalokerinos's work was along the same lines.

The first papers which discussed SIDS and the microbiome was Tissier in around 1904, but all those papers are in French.

Then was Jesse Gerstley in Am J dis child 1932 which looked at the profound difference in microflora between breastfed and formula fed babies, Clifford Grulee in JAMA in 1934, Eric Olsen's "Studies on the Intestinal Flora of infants in 1949 Bendig and Haenel 1969.

Olsen had particular problems in his monograph, primarily that there were too few breastfed babies for his to study because compared to artificially fed babies, the breastfed refused to die.

This work is all key, because the fact is that ground zero matters, and the microbiome of a formula fed baby is radically different to that of a breastfed baby which keys into how and why vaccines have an effect. And we now know that caesarians, abs and other drugs also have an influence as well. So to understand the bigger picture β€” there are over 100 years of preparatory and diverse work, all of which adds pieces to the jigsaw.

In 2000, I presented a paper at the international SIDS conference, on the topic which went up like a lead balloon β€” not surprisingly. It is attached Called SIDS 2000, and it was more of a global splat then a focussed discussion solely on microbiome, though that is included in it. My paper will give you far more references than I've stated here.

Case report of twins dying at the same time, suspected to be iatrogenic:

"Two days prior to the incident, the twins had received the second dose of oral polio, DPT and the first dose of hepatitis B vaccines and they had fever on the first day of the vaccination and been given teaspoonful of acetaminophen."

Simultaneous sudden infant death syndrome.

Ontological Shock's avatar

Still disappointed that Pelosi didn't wear yellow pants. But what I want to comment about is one of my favorite personal ontological shocks. I had my first child during a really inconvenient post graduate time in my life. An advisor told me his wife had several abortions and it didn't bother her at all. Okaaay. When my daughter was born the first thing that came into my head besides the fact that she was so beautiful, was "Hey, wait a minute, that's not MY body!" Abortion was never an option for me personally, but for some reason others around me thought it was more practical choice. I got the same advice when I had my second child in my 40's. Meanwhile any woman who has given birth has to KNOW that "my body, my choice," while a real catchy phrase, is a lie.
