“Crib death” claims the lives of about 2,500 ( 1 month to 1 year old children), each year in the United States. It was so infrequent in the pre-vaccination era that it was not even mentioned in the statistics, but it started to climb in the 1950s with the spread of mass vaccination against diseases of childhood. It became a matter of public and professional concern and even acquired a new name, "sudden infant death of unknown origin,." or, for short, SIDS.
“I have never seen a SIDS death in a healthy breastfed baby, unvaccinated, who has slept on anything from here to Timbuctoo. Over the 19 years in IAS, we have never seen one.”-Hillary Butler
Two Americans in 1946 described the deaths of identical twins within 24 hours of a DPT shot (on the background and history of SIDS see H. Coulter and B. Fisher, DPT: A Shot in the Dark). E. M. Taylor and J. L. Emery in 1982 wrote: "we cannot exclude the possibility of recent immunisation being one of several contributory factors in an occasional unexpected infant death."
Scientific evidence shows that babies can have severe adverse reactions to vaccinations at critical intervals following their shots, and that vaccination is the more likely cause of cot death and shaken baby syndrome.
When Dr. Vieara Scheibner of Australia discovered that DPT shots were causing Crib deaths, the medical fraternity ignored her but the public demand for the DPT shots, which are strictly voluntary in Australia, dropped by approxamately 50% and the Crib death rate dropped about the same amount again proving that vaccination kills babies.
