The mother places her smiling baby in the cradle.
Exhausted after a long day she begins to nod off
herself. But something isn't right. The baby is
silent-the baby isn't breathing! She rushes to the
crib, picks up the still infant and gives a shake.
The baby gasps and cries-blessed crying. The terror
subsides into relief, "my baby is all right,
my baby is all right." Ten thousand times a
year she doesn't reach her baby in time.
It's called crib death or sudden infant death syndrome
(SIDS) and it's the second largest cause of infant
deaths in the U.S. (congenital malformations are
first).
Although the cause of crib death is officially
classed as "unknown" disturbing reports
have emerged over the years challenging that position.
Independent researchers from different countries
noticed that babies die of crib death during that
period when they receive DPT shots. The reports,
buried in journals and ultimately ignored, were
termed "coincidence" by medical authorities.
And then in 1985, in Australia, Viera Scheibner,
Ph.D., a researcher with over 90 published scientific
papers in refereed journals to her credit, was using
a computerized breathing monitor to study babyies
breathing patterns. She discovered: "babies'
breathing was affected in a certain characteristic
manner and over a long period of time [40-65 days]
following DPT injections....We also learned from
the parents of crib death infants that most commonly
the child had died after DPT injection," said
Dr. Scheibner.
When the local medical groups reacted angrily to
Dr. Scheibner's discovery she was shocked. "We
realized that we had touched a very serious and
contentious issue....The resistance we encountered...became
the best and most effective goad to us to continue.
So I wish to thank those who would not speak out
against the silent killer of babies," said
Dr. Scheibner.
Is crib death the same as vaccine death? According
to medical historian Harris Coulter, Ph.D., it is
impossible to tell the difference between the two.
As Dr. Coulter says, "At a vaccination committee
meeting in Washington, D.C. where they had a panel
of people from about ten countries. I asked, 'How
can you tell the difference between sudden infant
death syndrome and death from vaccination?'"
"The Americans simply could not answer the
question, but the European representatives were
more honest and said, 'Indeed, there is no way in
the world that we can tell the difference between
them and it is a very big problem for us.' It appears
that M.D.s invented the term sudden infant death
syndrome to explain away the 'coincidence' that
babies die about the same time they receive vaccines,"
says Dr. Coulter.
As if on cue, news arrived from an unexpected quarter.
Along with many European countries, Australia made
childhood vaccination non-mandatory. When half of
the families opted out of the vaccine programs SIDS
(crib death) dropped by 50%!
Searching the literature, Dr. Scheibner discovered
that when Japan moved the vaccination age to two
years in 1975 crib death and infantile convulsions
virtually disappeared! Japan then recorded the lowest
incidence of infant mortality in the world. (American
babies receive their first shot at two months.)
Recently the Japanese government made vaccination
under the age of two years an option. Many parents
took that option, had their child vaccinated at
age 2 months, and crib death is now increasing.
Dr. Coulter is known to many in this field as the
co-author (with Barbara Loe Fisher) of DPT: A Shot
in the Dark, the first major work revealing the
damaging effects of childhood vaccinations. The
book is credited with launching the modern anti-vaccination
movement. His more recent book, Vaccination, Social
Violence and Criminality, studies the long-term
effects of vaccination and its relationship to conditions
such as autism, dyslexia, attention deficit disorder,
and other conditions that barely existed before
the advent of mass vaccination programs.
Dr. Coulter claims that vaccines cause encephalitis,
or brain inflammation. When it damages the nerves
that control breathing crib death results-but not
always. If the damage is more mild the child may
develop asthma, which along with the above mentioned
conditions of childhood, is also increasing dramatically.
Although long denied by medical groups the vaccination-crib
death link has been recognized by the National Vaccine
Compensation Office in Washington. So far about
$500 million has already been awarded to families
of vaccine damaged children with about half the
money to the parents of children killed by shots.
Their death certificates were originally labeled
"sudden infant death syndrome of unknown origin"
since doctors are loathe to write "vaccine
death." (There are about 4,000 more cases in
the pipeline with total compensation in the several
billions of dollars. Right now no more money can
be awarded, the compensation office is presently
bankrupt.)
Realizing that the public and many health professionals
are simply not given the larger picture of vaccine
damage, Dr. Scheibner studied thousands of journal
articles to produce Vaccination, The Medical Assault
on the Immune System. This book describes how vaccines
are much more dangerous to children than we've been
led to believe: "Immunisations, including those
practised on babies, not only did not prevent any
infectious diseases, they caused more suffering
and more deaths than has any other human activity
in the entire history of medical intervention. All
vaccination should cease forthwith and all victims
of their side-effects should be appropriately compensated."
says Dr. Scheibner.
In an interview with Dr. Coulter, this author asked
him how, in light of the present findings, the denial
of the crib death-vaccine death connection persists.
He responded: "I believe that this information
will eventually come out; it can't be denied much
longer. It's just a matter of time".

Should Ask (available at www.korenpublications.com)
"Comprehensive, well-balanced and quite
accurate. In my medical career I've treated vaccinated
and unvaccinated children and the unvaccinated
children are far healthier than the vaccinated
ones. This book is a must-read for parents interested
in answering the question 'should I vaccinate
my child?'" Philip Incao, MD, Denver, CO
"Excellent...the latest word on the subject"
