No, it's just a lie. For example, vaccines _prevent_ SIDS: https://www.chop.edu/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-safety...

But wait, there's more: https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/missed-vaccinations-did-n...

Missing vaccines did not reduce the incidence of SIDS. This is as close to a clean experiment as possible to get.

    That’s what the study concluded, how is it a lie? I don’t see where your first source says they prevent SIDS, it cites some studies that found no effect and one where “The authors concluded that these data support findings of past controlled studies showing that the temporal association between infant vaccination and SIDS is coincidental and not causal.”, so perhaps the reasoning about the findings in the paper I linked are off the mark, but what you linked does not show that the statistics are wrong.

      They use statistics incorrectly. They looked at VAERS that is _literally_ meant for reports of adverse effects.

      So it's of course correlated with SIDS. The reverse analysis would have proven them wrong.

        I understand that, and I get that this study doesn’t show that 75% of ALL cases are within 7 days of a vaccination. They found that of mortality that occurred within 60 days post-vaccination, 75% happened within 7 days of a vaccination.

          Of mortality that occurred within 60 days post-vaccination and was reported to VAERS.

          I suspect that the vast majority of SIDS deaths that happen a month after vaccination are not in the database.

          Looking at the reportable events tables for VAERS, some vaccine-specific symptoms have longer reporting periods but generic symptoms like anaphylactic shock only have to be reported for a couple days.
