2 studies connects vaccines to SIDS - 1 old and 1 new

Here's a great article to help put these into perspective: New study proving vaccines can kill children.

Abstract

The infant mortality rate (IMR) is one of the most important indicators of the socio-economic well-being and public health conditions of a country. The US childhood immunization schedule specifies 26 vaccine doses for infants aged less than 1 year—the most in the world—yet 33 nations have lower IMRs. Using linear regression, the immunization schedules of these 34 nations were examined and a correlation coefficient of r = 0.70 (p < 0.0001) was found between IMRs and the number of vaccine doses routinely given to infants. Nations were also grouped into five different vaccine dose ranges: 12–14, 15–17, 18–20, 21–23, and 24–26. The mean IMRs of all nations within each group were then calculated. Linear regression analysis of unweighted mean IMRs showed a high statistically significant correlation between increasing number of vaccine doses and increasing infant mortality rates, with r = 0.992 (p = 0.0009). Using the Tukey-Kramer test, statistically significant differences in mean IMRs were found between nations giving 12–14 vaccine doses and those giving 21–23, and 24–26 doses. A closer inspection of correlations between vaccine doses, biochemical or synergistic toxicity, and IMRs is essential.

Possible temporal association between diphtheria-tetanus toxoid-pertussis vaccination and sudden infant death syndrome.

Baraff LJ, Ablon WJ, Weiss RC.

Abstract

Because diphtheria and tetanus toxoids pertussis (DTP) vaccine is routinely given during the period of highest incidence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), this study was undertaken to determine if there is a temporal association between DTP immunization and SIDS. Parents of 145 SIDS victims who died in Los Angeles County between January 1, 1979, and August 23, 1980, were contacted and interviewed regarding their child's recent immunization history. Fifty-three had received a DTP immunization. Of these 53, 27 had received a DTP immunization within 28 days of death. Six SIDS deaths occurred within 24 hours and 17 occurred within 1 week of DTP immunization. These SIDS deaths were significantly more than expected were there no association between DTP immunization and SIDS. An additional 46 infants had a physician/clinic visit without DTP immunization prior to death. Forty of these infants died within 28 days of this visit, seven on the third day and 22 within the first week following the visit. These deaths were also significantly more than expected. These data suggest a temporal association between DTP immunization, physician visits without DTP immunization and SIDS.

Blogger has gone nuts

So whatever craziness is happening, I can't stop it.  Blogger has been doing some upkeep and it's affecting all the blogs.

I apologize right now for any weirdness.  I know it sent out posts from several different days in last month as if they were all new.  Sorry guys.  I hope they work it out soon.

Biomed book: Food Diary

I have a new page for you to add into your biomed book! Woot woot!

Okay, so maybe it's not that exciting.

I was asked how to handle food, not just supplements. So here it is:

You can find it here.

Keep in mind that you can modify this easily.  All of my pages were created in Word or Excel because, well, I had no idea I'd be sharing them when I made them.  If I had, I would have made them in Adobe InDesign and they'd be hot pieces of graphic design genius.  Okay, so maybe not genius but they'd definitely be hot.

Since I now don't have the time or the inclination to create such genius, utilitarian will have to do.

For the technically challenged, if you need more room, just change the page size to legal and then pull the square on the bottom right of the table box and enlarge the table to fit.  Voila, more room.

Autism doesn't exist

I had a question from a friend with no spawn of his own today.  That question was: what do you mean your child is recovered?  I thought it was lifelong?

Well, not really.  Some do.  But hopefully this can help people understand what it means to have autism. It's a great way to get a good overview of why biomedical interventions exist and why/how they help.

More on what we already know

Sample page for the biomed book

I was asked to post an example of how I used the Adding/Removing page.  Here it is:

I said it in red but I think it's worth saying again - use it in a way that will work for you.  Make changes if you need to.

A Review of Compensated Cases of Vaccine-Induced Brain Injury

You have no idea how bad I want to just post the whole thing here.  Seriously.  Just like I did when I first started this blog and contributed to the ruination of the internet with my lack of netiquette.  But since I'm not ruining the internet anymore, I can only say: must read!

AoA has the Executive Summary here.

Check it out.  Good stuff.
