I didn't see any research on moms - did the mom have preeclampsia, was she diabetic, did she have 9 months of prenatal care, etc. What about living arrangements - windows open, windows closed, birth in summer, winter, spring, fall, crib or bassinet (crib rails or netting provide more moving air than bassinet), pets in the home. The baby - bottle fed, formula, both, tight fitting bed clothes or loose nightgowns, bed sheet material, pillow, stuffed animals, pacifier, birth weight, apgar score, hospital delivery, home delivery. The variables are monumental. But, as was already mentioned, until a nation-wide, world-wide questionnaire is created, there will be babies who die without a true cause. Bottom line: the death can have a cause or no cause, the parents will still feel the pain and horror, guilt and grief.
Thanks for the question, Maria--it may not be not obvious if you're not a regular reader. "JMM" is John Mandrola, one of the three doctors who run Sensible Medicine.
Three kids here, born over a decade so we had a tummy sleeper, one that was supposed to sleep on her side or back and a back to sleep baby. I put all 3 on their tummies 95% of the time. Why? Because of aspiration pneumonia mostly, and the only kids who ever had to wear those awful helmets to correct misshapen heads were back to sleep kids.
ALL land mammals sleep in a “pig pile”/puppy pile. Nothing healthy dies randomly in the night. Vaccine injured babies die randomly in the night. Something like 90% of SIDS deaths are within 14 days of a round of vaxxes.
The vaccine-SIDS argument is strong. I thought about commenting in detail on it, but then stopped once I realized my references/discussion exceeds three pages. No one reads the literature. It's plain as day. Plenty of cases of twins dropping dead right after vax. And tons of evidence of vaccines inducing cardiorespiratory changes. And DTP and possible some other vaccines having negative nonspecific effects (i.e. increasing other infections), which the author has touched on perhaps not realizing the possible relation to vaccines.
I would like to see some references, too. I know how much this type of info has been suppressed, read of a Canadian cap fired for investigating SIDs, that SID dropped during lockdowns (no well baby visits). I collect information on "non-specific vaccine effects" information, including SID in one entry of the substack I used to run. https://dorotazielinska.substack.com/p/kalendarz-szczepien-dzieci-czym-wiecej. This is meant for Polish audience, but articles are (99%) in English
I would say it seems serious vaccine injuries - including SIDS - happens mostly in susceptible subgroups. One of the largest of these is preterm children.
People think preterm birth is a risk factor for autism. Not so much. Preterm birth + vaccines is the bigger factor.
Would add formula-fed to the equation. I have twins who were born prematurely but was very lucky to have had them in a NICU that strongly encouraged and supported breastfeeding. That being sad, outside the NICU, people had much lower expectations for me to breastfeed because I had twins. I would imagine breastfeeding rates are lower for preterm children (and especially twins, which are frequently born prematurely) because they haven’t yet developed the breathe, suck, swallow mechanism yet. Unless the mother is strongly supported in pumping to build supply while premature babies grow and develop that skill, breastfeeding is unlikely to be successful.
I'm still trying to find myself and my method of attack. Hundreds of pages of unpublished work. Just doesn't feel right to go public as of yet. See my other reply.

Re: the opening in bold for this article. Please identify the writer! Who is JMM? Thanks.

Thank you for series. Thank you to Sensible Medicine for sharing.
Perhaps there should be an edit to the wiki page for Dr. Spock.See views section which tries to blame Spock for 50k infant deaths! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Spock

Great series so far. Thank you.

Agreed. Thanks for mentioning it. The chart of GSK Infanrix Hexa deaths over the first 20 days is pretty sobering.
100%, its the one of the areas medical professionals are not allowed (in their own minds) to associate with harm. Vaccination can only be good

AMD has a fair chunk of the relevant references, but he makes you work to filter it out:

Many people like myself would be interested and do read the literature.
Just make a quick free blog page and cut and paste on it and throw the link in here...if you like. :)

Three kids here. All co slept on stomach.
