For example, this meta-analysis found that immunization was associated with a halving of the risk of SIDS. There are reasons to think that this might not be causal, but it's strong evidence that vaccinations don't *increase* the risk of SIDS. 2/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17400342

This more recent (2012) study reanalyzed the data from a number of case control studies and found no effect of immunization status on the risk of SIDS. 3/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22289512

Here's another study that looked at DPT vaccination status and risk of SIDS. It found a decreased risk of SIDS associated with DPT vaccination. 4/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4326294/ …

I know antivaxxers like to say that the Vaccine Court actually compensated a family for SIDS after vaccination, and, yes, initially it did. Scientifically it was a bad ruling. 5/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-vaccine-court-science-doesnt-always-win-out/ …

The Vaccine Court decision was also overturned recently. 6/https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/nvicp-sids-vaccine-decision-overturned-appeal-facts/ …

So, to sum up. There's lots of evidence that vaccines do not increase the risk of SIDS and some evidence that they might actually decrease the risk. Not that I expect that to persuade antivaxxers. 7/7https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/nvicp-sids-vaccine-decision-overturned-appeal-facts/ …

What about the thousands of vaccine injuries? All the same stories over and over, hours or days after vaccines? Heavy metal toxicity, Mercury and aluminum poisoning? No correlation right?pic.twitter.com/6f9DuKO2zw

Correct. Studies suggest there is no correlation.

Omg, I'm the same! It's one thing to ask an expert to educate you or explain something you don't understand, but to actually argue with an expert is mine blowing.
