This is from an email acquaintance, describing what happened to the 8 month

old

baby of a friend of hers. The parents also had a baby boy about 2.5 years

ago,

who died of SIDS at 7 months. I don't know the circumstances of the baby

boy's

passing, whether he was asleep or not, etc. When I first read the above I had

two thoughts: Did she choke on something? Or was it an allergic reaction of

some sort? I don't want to jump to the conclusion that it was from

vaccination, because that can turn people off from even considering the

possibility, but if not that, what? An undiscovered defect? Something

environmental (parental smoking?)? A genetic " thing " ? I don't know.

Apparently they are undergoing extensive genetic testing, but if nothing turns

up.... The mom had several miscarriages and fertility problems prior to

conceiving the boy; I don't know if it was a similar scenario with the girl or

not. I realize that 7 and 8 months are not the average time to get shots, but

there could have been delays in getting the 6 month shots. If the babies did

get vaxxed at 6 months, how likely are the vaccines to be the culprit one-two

months later, especially in the girl's case?

Thoughts?
