The solutions to lifes greatest mysteries can come from left field and often do by chance, however to have my path end up with what appears to be quackery scares me more than the risk!
SB, correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the distinct impression from your posts that you are taking some sort of personal offence to this thread based upon your field of work. Can I just say that I have (and I'm sure I speak for many here) a great deal of respect for your line of work. The father of a good friend of mine was an Ambo for many years, and after hearing many of the stories he told us, it always made me feel very at ease to know that we have people like him out there helping to save lives. I have never once drawn any correlation between the type of medicine or injections (ie adrenaline) administered in life threatening situations and other forms of medicine such as vaccinations. They are incomparable lines of work, IMO.

No one here is suggesting that we do away with vaccines, (or mattresses) only that we humble our professional pride, and start to pay closer attention to the growing number of parents, toxicologists and various members of the mainstream medical community who are adamant that they have observed a link between various avenues of toxicity and sids - whether it comes in the form of a peer reviewed medical journal or not. Besides, many of the studies within the field of medicine are funded by pharmaceutical companies. Do you suppose these same companies will be willing to fund more studies to professionally ascertain whether or not there is a link between formaldehyde in vaccines and SIDS? I highly doubt it. You can see the kind of uphill battle these people are fighting - without the funds to spur them on.
How many 'low patient studies' conducted by 'non-mainstream groups' will need to be conducted before people pay attention to the consistent findings? How many families will be paid out by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Fund for SIDS deaths before parents decide they don't need or want the empirical evidence anymore, and that playing vaccine roulette with their childs life just isn't worth it?

If we have MDs and pediatrician's out there who are no longer willing to administer vaccines due to the years they have spent observing the effects in their patients in an unofficial but very real longitudinal study, then that is worth noting. We cannot simply discount limited studies or personal experience as 'quackery', especially as many of the claims are now coming from the mainstream medical community itself. Did you know that Edward Jenner was considered a 'quack' when he first proposed that a small injection of cowpox disease could prevent humans from getting smallpox? People thought he was a complete nutter and yet he persisted to fight the system. Now he is heralded as some kind of hero.

It only takes one person to make a significant difference in this world. If one parent or one pathologist or one pediatrician believes that their experience or their findings are so significant they feel compelled to share, regardless of the professional ramifications, then I believe we need to have respect for that, listen with open minds and hearts, and simply take it in our stride. Who knows where the future of research will lead us? But we cannot simply dismiss findings as quackery (awful term that) until we have exhausted them to buggery - and unfortunately that is a long, long way off.
Until then, parents deserve to have info - be it from left field, right field or upside down field. At the end of the day its their choice to consider or discard the info as they please.
