Miller too. He's a known anti-vaxxer, not exactly someone I'd call impartial. That said, the article itself makes some strong points. Here’s what Miller claims: Temporal Clustering: He looked at 2,605 infant deaths reported to VAERS between 1990 and 2019, and found that 58% of them happened within three days of vaccination, and 78.3% within seven days. Statistically significant (p < 0.00001) — no denying that. Literature Review: Miller pulls in a number of studies and case reports suggesting a possible link between vaccines and sudden unexplained infant deaths. Proposed Mechanisms: He throws out a few possible biological explanations — like inflammatory cytokines messing with the infant medulla, adjuvants crossing the blood-brain barrier and affecting respiratory control, and the idea that giving multiple vaccines at once could cause synergistic toxicity. BUT... While the study raises some interesting points, there are some major issues that undermine its conclusions... I'll list those below.. Nature of VAERS Data: Passive System: VAERS is passive - it relies on people voluntarily reporting events. That means underreporting, over-reporting, and a lot of noise in the data. No Causality: Just because an event is reported to VAERS doesn’t mean the vaccine caused it. It just means the two happened around the same time. Temporal Association ≠ Causation: Just because deaths happened shortly after vaccination doesn’t prove the vaccine was to blame. Babies get a lot of vaccines in their first few months - which also happens to be the peak window for SIDS. So you get an overlap that looks suspicious, but it doesn’t automatically mean one caused the other. No Control Group: There’s no comparison between vaccinated and unvaccinated babies in Miller’s study. Without that, you can’t really say if the rates he’s pointing at are unusual at all. For context: From 1990 to 2019, there were about 130,000 SIDS deaths in the US. Only 2,605 were reported in VAERS. So the data’s incomplete - though, to be fair, it’s all they’ve got to work with. Author Bias: Miller’s reputation as an anti-vaccine activist isn’t exactly a secret. His past work has been rightly criticised for cherry-picking and bias, and that definitely colours this study too. Selective Literature Review: He mainly cites studies that support his theory and conveniently ignores the mountain of research that supports vaccine safety. That’s not how honest science is done. Speculative Mechanisms: Sure, the biological mechanisms he proposes are theoretically possible. But there's no direct, solid evidence linking those mechanisms to vaccine-related sudden infant death. Now, stepping back a little... Extensive research absolutely supports the safety of infant vaccines - and it pretty much dismantles Miller’s arguments: Epidemiological Studies: Massive studies, like one published in The Journal of Pediatrics, found no increased risk of SIDS after immunisation. Public Health Data: Since widespread infant vaccination programmes started, SIDS rates have actually dropped in many countries - not gone up. Regulatory Oversight: Organisations like the CDC and WHO keep a constant watch on vaccine safety — and they haven’t found any causal link between vaccines and SIDS. --------------- I want to add a little about the flaws in Miller's work... Misuse of VAERS Data: He leans on VAERS reports to push vaccine scare stories, despite the fact that VAERS is a messy, unverified data set that can’t establish causality. Experts constantly warn against using VAERS this way - it’s straight up misleading. Ecological Fallacies: In stuff like his 2011 paper (co-authored with Gary Goldman), Miller claims that more vaccines = higher infant mortality across countries. But critics have pointed out (correctly) that these kinds of studies are riddled with confounding factors and can't actually prove anything. David Gorski, a surgical oncologist and fierce critic of pseudoscience, has labeled these conclusions as "bad science" that misrepresents data to promote anti-vaccine narratives. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/vaccines-and-infant-mortality-rates-a-false-relationship-promoted-by-the-anti-vaccine-movement-again-12-years-later Lack of Peer Review: A lot of Miller's papers are published in sketchy journals with minimal (or nonexistent) peer review - like Medical Veritas. That alone should raise big red flags about the scientific quality of his work. Confirmation Bias: In his books like Miller’s Review of Critical Vaccine Studies, he only highlights studies that support his anti-vaccine stance and ignores the much larger body of evidence showing that vaccines are safe and effective - its not an impartial study by any means. ------------ Thus: While the article presents data indicating a temporal association between infant vaccinations and sudden deaths, it does not establish a causal relationship. The reliance on passive reporting data, absence of control groups, potential author bias, and selective literature review limit the study's validity.... and thats just what I can pick out from the paper. Experts would tear it a apart ! 1

And again, any statistical anomaly is merely a warning signal warranting further investigation, the anomaly itself can't be used to prove anything. I completely agree with this. VAERS serves as an initial "flag" to identify potential patterns that may justify further investigation. However, any subsequent inquiry must be impartial and robust, avoiding the pitfall of using VAERS data as the sole basis for conclusions. It is essential that the investigation be independent of the biases inherent in the VAERS system itself. 1 1

I could give you more testimonies, opinions and papers, such as from Dr. Paul Thomas or Dr. Sherri Tenpenny (I have "antivaxxer" sources which list them and have them readily available), but ultimately, your comments don't strike me as irrelevant. Of course these people have confirmation bias and everything it entails, in fact I do to, and so do you, that's just the way it is. So what should be done? A good first step would be a methodologically rock solid assessment of this issue, which has not happened so far, there have been too many omissions and manipulations by the pharmaceutical industry, which has led us to where we are today. There are reasons for this exponential growth of mistrust in "science" and I don't think denying it is a productive approach. I hope RFK's coming studies will be beyond reproach from a methodological viewpoint: whatever the results are, they need to be indisputable (especially given his antivaxxer reputation). Let's wait and see.

While I consider the existing body of scientific evidence as robust, I also agree with you that additional, rigorous assessments are necessary - albeit for different reasons. The growing influence of the anti-vaccine movement is (IMO) causing harm to public health, and this issue must be addressed. To combat this, it is essential that future studies be conducted with complete impartiality and transparency, ensuring that the findings are not only credible but also accessible to the public. By providing clear and unbiased data, we can counter misinformation and foster trust in vaccines, which are one of the most effective tools in safeguarding global health. But even if impartial and transparent studies were conducted, conclusively proving that vaccines are safe, would the anti-vaccination movement ever change their stance? Conversely, If it could be conclusively proven that vaccines were dangerous for even a tiny minority, would existing opinions, medical expertise, and even the stance of governments and big pharmaceutical companies change ? - I think they would. And... that’s where the fundamental divide lies.... On one side, there are those whose beliefs are driven by deeply held ideologies or misinformation, and no matter how much evidence is presented, their stance remains unwavering. Their resistance to change often stems from a complex mix of emotional, social, and cognitive factors, with the spread of misinformation exacerbated by social media amplifying their views. On the other side, you have those committed to public health and scientific integrity - healthcare professionals, governments, and regulatory bodies. These entities are bound by a duty to protect the public, and their stance is not rooted in ideology but in evidence and data. If credible, irrefutable evidence were presented showing vaccines to be harmful, this side would have to adapt, recalibrate, and even shift public health strategies, as they are grounded in the evolving understanding of science. 2 minutes ago, rattlesnake said: There are reasons for this exponential growth of mistrust in "science" and I don't think denying it is a productive approach. Yes, the reason lies primarily with social media. Too many laypeople have the platform to spread alarmist misinformation far and wide, often without fully understanding the science behind the claims. Many people, swayed by persuasive arguments and partial truths, fail to critically assess the information they encounter.

Fair enough, but I really do think there is an empirical aspect to this. From what I have seen in the "antivaxxer" realm, there are lots of reasonable parents who are not really active on social media (and therefore not that susceptible to it), but who simply realised the temporal causation between their children's vaccination and the appearance of symptoms of autism, hyperactivity, epilepsy etc. 18 minutes ago, richard_smith237 said: But even if impartial and transparent studies were conducted, conclusively proving that vaccines are safe, would the anti-vaccination movement ever change their stance?

The media , the MAIN street media, which until recently controlled the "information" fed to the masses........... has been shown now, over and over, to have lied and continue to remain 100% biased even as they are now sinking, sinking, sinking. This has been proved beyond any doubt . Even showing the clips on TV of the covid pushers making false claims ( you will NEVER get covid. you can not transmit covid , simple cloth masks and distancing will protect you, staying home will save your grandmother.....etc etc etc. .....finally to just need more boosters !)..... can not penetrate their thick defenses. There is no reasoning with the manic defenders of the status quo that is trying to maintain that control . The control which even the ordinary man who does not write in arrogant , superior feeling attitudes..... can see with their own eyes what is true. I need no scientific evidence to know when someone is only fighting for one main reason; to be right. To win. At that point... they are just a waste of time to me. The game is so easy to see , and yet the carousel keeps going on and on. The game is so simple ! : the age old practice of “accusing the other side of that which you are guilty.” Trump gets it .

rattlesnake Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago 9 hours ago, richard_smith237 said: The correct emotional response is, of course, empathy toward any suffering. Thus, while compassion is essential, the wellbeing of the greater whole must take precedence over the rare misfortunes of a few. In the grand scheme, vaccines have dramatically reduced human suffering rather than caused it. Though big-picture thinking must never lose sight of individual hardship, the overwhelming body of evidence makes clear that those adversely affected remain an extreme minority. It's easy to rationalise when using abstract notions and representations such as "extremly rare" vs. "overwhelmingly", etc. Empirical observations, however, show a different picture. This notion that "you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs" is problematic to say the least, when you actually have a look at the broken eggs. Watch a couple of testimonies of vaccine-injured people (roughly half an hour each), realise what is actually happening and imagine for a minute if this had happened to you or someone close to you. This is something the vaccine proponents have difficulty doing, in fact I have never managed to convince one to actually go there: it is much preferable and easier for them to remain in the realm of abstract notions and statistics. I encourage you to go on John Campbell's YouTube channel and watch the videos of Mel, Adam and Kyle (three cases among many more), and confront one of the undeniable facets of what you condone. These were young, healthy people before taking the Covid jab. Intellectual honesty demands that every aspect of an issue, even those we don't like or want to see, be taken into account before taking a stance. Also notable is the fact that these seriously injured people often have a very hard time having their injuries officially recognised, and therefore they are not included in those statistics which you hold so dearly…

rattlesnake Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago 8 hours ago, GroveHillWanderer said: Vaccination means the introduction into the human body of "a substance used to stimulate immunity to a particular infectious disease or pathogen." (OED definition). The rabies vaccine fully meets that definition, so it's a vaccine whether you like it or not. Especially since it isn't given only as post-exposure prophylaxis, it can also be given in advance of exposure. And 17 doses by the age of 6 months? In which country? Not in the UK and I doubt if that's the case in any other country either. As per the NHS vaccination schedule given below, a child would receive a total of 8 vaccine doses covering 9 diseases, by that age.
