Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is a tragic phenomenon that affects infants under one year old, said to often occur during sleep. Despite extensive research, the medical community has yet to pinpoint the precise cause of SIDS, contributing to its “perplexing nature”.
However, skepticism arises when considering whether doctors genuinely lack answers regarding SIDS. Upon critical examination, it seems improbable that such "sudden" and "unexplainable" deaths have no identifiable cause. Let's delve into key factors and consider whether we can discern the underlying cause of SIDS.
SIDS Patterns and Pediatric Visits
Traditionally, SIDS cases display a pattern, occurring most frequently between 1 to 4 months of age, with a substantial proportion occurring before 6 months.
Notably, SIDS cases often coincide with routine pediatric visits, suggesting potential correlations between healthcare interactions and SIDS incidence.
What happens at those pediatric well visits? What is the one factor that most if not all those cases of SIDS have in common from those visits? It certainly isn’t the exam or questions asked. Could it possibly be the slew of vaccines that children receive? You know, the ones deemed “safe and effective” yet have a laundry list of side effects listed on the insert such as Encephalitis (swelling of the brain) and even death.
Correlation Between COVID-19 Causing Missed Well Visits and the Decrease of SIDS Numbers
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a notable trend emerged: a significant decrease in SIDS numbers. This decline coincided with disruptions in healthcare access, particularly missed well visits for children. Families, cautious amidst lockdowns, opted to delay or forgo routine pediatric appointments, inadvertently altering the landscape of SIDS incidence.
It just has to be a coincidence right? Well visit numbers go down because people are afraid and being cautious during COVID, which means less infants getting injections, and in turn less incidences of SIDS.
If you haven’t put it together yet, then stay with me, there’s more.
Considerations Regarding Vaccines and SIDS
Discussions persist regarding potential links between vaccine-related adverse events and SIDS. Encephalopathy and inflammation, recognized side effects of vaccines, have raised concerns about their role in triggering adverse reactions in susceptible infants.
Safety Studies and Vaccination Practices
The practice of administering multiple vaccines during a single pediatric visit raises significant concerns. Despite established vaccination schedules, the potential cumulative effects and interactions among vaccine components demand continuous evaluation. The absence of thorough safety studies emphasizes the necessity for ongoing vigilance and transparency in vaccination practices.
Many individuals believe that rigorous safety studies have been conducted, often misled by assurances from their doctors. However, the truth reveals a different picture: comprehensive safety studies are lacking. Instead, what exists can be likened to "tobacco science" — a deceptive façade. Vaccine manufacturers operate with absolute immunity from liability. With no legal repercussions to fear, their incentive to prioritize safety is questionable at best.
Connecting the Dots
If vaccines are indeed the cause of SIDS, how have they managed to evade scrutiny for so long?
The enduring belief in the "safe and effective" narrative surrounding vaccines plays a significant role. Many individuals genuinely want to believe that vaccines are saviors of humanity. Doctors, too, often subscribe to this narrative, partly influenced by the incentives they receive from insurance and pharmaceutical companies.
Then there are the parents faced with a difficult choice: accepting an unexplained tragedy or confronting the possibility that they entrusted their child's safety to a medical system playing Russian roulette. This isn't said to assign blame or be insensitive; rather, it reflects the heartbreaking reality for countless parents who have lost their children due to vaccination programs. The medical community understands which narrative is easier to accept, perpetuating the status quo until individuals begin to research and make informed decisions.
Ultimately, the responsibility for your child's health rests with you, not your doctor. It's imperative to educate yourself and make decisions based on your own research. When death is listed as a potential side effect of vaccines, it's entirely reasonable to exercise your right to refuse them.
