Then how do you explain the fact that SIDS has decreased with the Back to Sleep campaign.........and with more babies receiving vaccines no less?

And yes babies have been dying since the dawn of man. No kidding. I'm sure the percentage has gone way up hundreds and hundreds if not thousands of times since vaccines were started.
You mean the same Franco-Prussian War that occured from 1870-1871? Yes, I would base all my healthcare decision making on what may have happened 135 years ago.
i'm through with this thread because you make absolutely no sense. the infant mortality rate has gone up since vaccines?????!!!!!! what?
Please document this...

A concrete statement should be easily backed up by concrete and verifiable sources

That was a truly sound vaccine!

The German army, unlike the civilian population required vaccination of all troops and revaccination every seven years. Of the 800,000 man army a mere 8,643 caught smallpox and only 459 (5.4%) died. In France's one million man army, of whom 700,000 were taken prisoner, 125,000 men were infected and 23,470 (18.7%) died (Hopkins 1983, 90). Thus the French army lost nearly as many men to smallpox alone as the German army lost to all causes in the entire war. The French army was militarily unprepared for war, but smallpox could only have made matters worse. In one 1158 man Gardes mobiles unit, for example, over half the men developed smallpox during the war.
Please substantiate any future claims you may make, in order to cling to at least a shred of credibility.

I have more than substantiated any post I have ever made on here...in fact, in most cases gone well above and beyond the call of duty...because, as usual some Mods like to antagonize as you are doing here.
The "claim" regarding the Prussian war was not my "claim." It was information I obtained from a legitimate source. I posted a link to my source. I need to do no more.
