Are vaccines a possible cause of the death of babies in the crib, otherwise known as SIDS – Sudden Infant Death Syndrome?
Last week, I reported on The HighWire that Florida state senator Iliana Garcia introduced a bill that says:
“In the case of an infant or child who dies suddenly and unexpectedly,
including cases of SIDs, the autopsy must include microscopic and
toxicology studies and a review of the child's immunization of medical
records.”
This may seem like a small thing–and you may be asking yourself, “What’s the big deal, Jefferey?”
Well,
there are those who don’t want parents to discover why their child may
have died soon after arriving home from the hospital.
Here’s why: vaccines may be implicated, hence the need for Garcia’s bill.
If
passed into law, the bill will mandate that the infant’s vaccine record
be released to the medical examiner. And if the medical examiner fails
to report the child’s vaccine record once, they will be subject to a
$1,000 fine.
If
the examiner fails to report the vaccine record in the event of a
second infant death, the fine grows to $5,000. Repeated noncompliance
will result in disciplinary action, which may include suspension and
removal from the job.
The real issue is this: the fact
that you need a law to say that if an infant dies, you have to review
their current vaccine record raises a myriad of safety questions
regarding the childhood vaccine schedule.
Informed Consent Action Network takes the position that this law should exist in every state in the country and worldwide.
Yet,
the success of our work always comes back to you and your support. Del
