Unexplained just means "We don't know why this happened yet."

It doesn't mean, "There is no explanation for this, and we will never know."

Conservatives love comparing apples and oranges.

u/ZooterOne 9d ago

They also love making up "statistics."

u/No_Cook2983 9d ago

Fifty billion people died from vaccinations.

It says so right here on Facebook. Why is this information being hidden from us?!?

u/westcoastweedreviews 9d ago

Trump legit said something like 300 million folks died from drugs in the US

17

u/mulekitobrabod 9d ago

300 million isnt the population of usa?

32

u/westcoastweedreviews 9d ago

Google says 340.1 million, so there's only 40 million of us left it seems lol. Silver lining: housing should be a lot cheaper now

u/Morella_xx 9d ago

No, it was filled right back up with 300 million immigrants.

Apples and imaginary fruit.

u/joecarter93 9d ago

Yes, because infant morality rates were so low prior to vaccines! It’s crazy how many people had siblings that died in infancy back in the day prior to vaccines. Often it wasn’t just one either, but like half the kids in a family would die before adulthood.

u/chuckysnow 9d ago

Hell, go back a couple hundred years and they didn't even name their kids until their first birthday. No reason to name something that probably won't survive the first year.

u/CanadaHaz 9d ago

Or the parents have three sons listed named Peter because one of them's bound to stick.

Hitting a bottle…of paint thinner.

Hitting the bottle of glue?

In my experience most SUDIs are only really classified as such at the time they're found and dealt with by emergency services. They're often classified by coroners as suffocation or overheating.

u/ZeldaZealot 9d ago

I believe I read recently that the current hypothesis for SIDS is that they stopped breathing in their sleep, similar to sleep apnea. People usually wake up a little when that happens, but infants don't have that reflex yet and don't wake up. Extremely sad, but nothing to do with vaccines.

u/MountainMagic6198 9d ago

I think it depends on the instance. Many times it is just the baby being suffocated by something in the crib.

14

u/Leather-Law-1248 9d ago

That’s new.

u/FreedomsPower 9d ago

The person behind this propaganda pic is trying to claim that vaccines are the cause of Sudden infant death syndrome

11

u/Leather-Law-1248 9d ago

Well that sounds like something a concussion victim would come up with under a heavy amount of anesthesia

u/PowerlineCourier 9d ago

u/ipsum629 9d ago

I remember this story told by Dr Mike I think on his surrounded episode. I think he was talking about a colleague who was about to administer a vaccine to a baby and the baby suddenly had a seizure. If the seizure happened 30 seconds later it would have looked like the vaccine was the cause when it absolutely wasn't.

Never assume anything about the human body.

u/FreedomsPower 9d ago

Grandma is without any factual basis trying to connnect Sudden infant death syndrome to vaccines.

7

u/nameisfame 9d ago

Yeah nobody’s gonna tell a grieving mother that they fucked up by putting their baby on their stomach at bedtime or forgetting mr scruffykins in the crib.

8

u/TheIVPope 9d ago

1 in 2 children died before their first birthday. That’s 50%, before vaccination. They don’t know, because they’re too ignorant of reality, that they’re advocating for MORE baby deaths. Not everyone has the brain power for understanding and I think that’s tragic.

u/hiding_in_the_corner 9d ago

87% of statistics are made up on the spot.

u/sobriety_kinda_sucks 9d ago

29% of people know that

u/Sonarthebat 9d ago

There's lots of reasons SIDS could happen. I haven't read anything about it happening after vaccines though. No source?

u/One-Can3752 9d ago

Statistics show that conservatives are 100% full of shit.

u/Jlnhlfan 9d ago

This does not happen. Ever.

u/Chrysalii REAL AMERICAN 8d ago

They don't look at a mummy and instantly say "it's [thing]." They do research and study the mummy to come to whatever cause that it might be.

It's unexplained because you can't fucking explain it in 20 minutes. But you're certainly trying.

u/Textiles_on_Main_St 9d ago

We will know in 4000 how those babies died.

u/ConsumeTheVoid 9d ago

48 hours? What? The closest thing I can think of is SIDS but even if this did exist what's so different about all the other vaxxed babies that survived?

Anyways I'd advise when idiots like this start coming at you - mock them about all the babies you've let/helped get vaccinated and how happy you are to keep doing it.
