Typical Pro-vaxx response:

Quote:
Just saying that SIDS or infant death can happen at any point. Some will happen after a vaccine. You have to look at statistics.


Quote:
Sids happens to infants. Some infants are born with defects that go unnoticed and it results in sids.

Some kids have other issues.

Those issues are detected same timing as shots. So because it strikes at same time, it can often be mistaken for vaccine injury. But really it has got nothing to do with the shots.



Here's the science from the Institute of Medicine:

Based on this review, the committee concluded that the evidence favors rejection of a causal relationship between some vaccines and SIDS; and that the evidence is inadequate to accept or reject a causal relationship between other vaccines and SIDS, SUDI, or neonatal death. The evidence regarding biological mechanisms is essentially theoretical, reflecting in large measure the lack of knowledge concerning the pathogenesis of SIDS. Anaphylaxis related to vaccination has been discussed in detail in previous IOM reports and is reexamined in the report; the committee observed that anaphylaxis is known to be a rare but causally related adverse event following the administration of some vaccines. Fatal anaphylaxis in infants is extraordinarily rare.

The committee found no basis for a review of current immunization policies, but saw a clear need for continued research on adverse event following vaccination and on the biological basis for sudden unexpected infant deaths.



Looking into it at the source, here are the specific vaccines and their conclusions:

The committe finds no basis for a change in the prior conclusion that the evidence favors rejection of a causal relationship between DTwP vaccine and SIDS.

The committe concludes that the evidence is inadequate to accept or reject a causal relationship between DTaP and SIDS.

An earlier IOM committe found no published studies on the relationship between Hep B and SIDS. Only VAERS reports of SIDS following immunization with HepB vaccine were available. Based on those date, the earlier committee concluded that the evidence was inadequate to accept or reject a causal relationship between Hep B and SIDS.

An earlier IOM committee found no published studies on the relationship between Hib vaccine and SIDS. Only VAERS reports of SIDS following immunization with Hib vaccine were available. Based on those date, the earlier committee concluded that the evidence was inadequate to accept or reject a causal relationship between Hib and SIDS.

Neither the present committe nor the earlier IOM committee found epidemiologic studies that have examined the relationship between IPV and SIDS.

What response are you looking for?

Neither of the comments you quoted sound like they come from a person who has a science or medical background.

Kudos for looking into this for yourself.

I'm not looking for a response. I'm looking to enlighten people who believe that vaccines don't cause SIDS, to let them know that we don't actually know because it hasn't been studied enough. There is a lack of science here. Anecdotes abound, however.

It is reasonable and prudent to be especially careful to provide a safe sleep environment because this is sometimes a confounding factor when SIDS happens after vaccination.

Well, the first poster you quoted wrote exactly that.

The second poster you quoted specified that she's referring to SIDS cases when the baby had an unknown underlying defect.

So your point here seems pretty superfluous.

I'm seriously wondering if you know what the word anecdote means.

The first poster is implying that there is no connection between SIDS and vaccines. The second poster is referring to SIDS cases when the baby has an unknown underlying defect which may or may not have been brought to the fore due to vaccines. And then summarizes that even though the timing may be sequential, that's purely coincidental and unrelated.

Regardless, I wasn't specifically addressing these two posters. I was addressing the common idea that SIDS occurs often under 1 years old and vaccines also do and the two things are not related. In fact, there is no evidence of whether or not they are related. No one, at this point, can definitively say that they aren't related.

Yeah. Smile
an·ec·dote
/ˈanəkˌdōt/
Learn to pronounce
noun
a short amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person.

When a baby dies from SIDS a the day after receiving shots it is not amusing unfortunately but worthy of interest.

So what you meant by "anecdotes abound" was there is lots of anecdotal evidence suggesting that vaccination causes SIDS?

Sorry - I have family members who have lost children to SIDS. Its difficult for me to hear this being referred to as an anecdote.

SIDS only occurs under 1 years old. Its defined that way.

I'm truly sorry for their loss. I don't know which part of the word anecdote you don't like, but yes, that's what I meant: anecdotal evidence suggests that vaccines may cause SIDS. Anecdotal evidence is based on anecdotes, I.e. people's stories - as opposed to science.

Is it going to convince you that vaccines are not the cause for sids if I tell you that I know 2 babies that passed away from sids before having a chance of taking shots thus not be able to be related to vaccines?

And yes many people that I guess have agendas walked into shiva and asked if the baby was vaccinated that day/week.

I dunno - 'anecdotes abound' that babies died followed vaccinations - makes it sound like 'stories'... its not 'stories'. If you know someone who went through this - its not an anecdote, its not a story, its reality.

They will tell you baby had vitamin k shot in hospital.

These ppl can’t be convinced. They were brainwashed by a cult.

Did you know that newborns are vaccinated in the hospital?

I know people say this but none of my kids were ever offered vaccines in the hospital. I have checked their records and the first vaccines were at 2 months. This is in brooklyn, born at Maimonides
