      It's likely not possible to change your mind. In actuality, there are studies that find no correlation between immunization and SIDS. 1/https://twitter.com/ashlee__wallace/status/1207072686234464256 …

      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/ …

          Keep fighting the good fight Doc. Its tiring and disheartening that there are so many nitwits out there.

          Did you read any of the analyses he posted? The first 6mths of life has always seen the highest incidence of SIDS from days prior to vaccination. Knowing this, do you seriously prefer leaving infants vulnerable to infectious diseases?
