Another anti-vac myth busted

One of the favorite lies of the pro-infectious disease merchants of
disability and death is the claim that vaccinations cause SIDS, Sudden
Infant Death Syndrome.

Now, there is a new study showing that placing a fan in the room with
a baby

Babies who slept in a room with a fan were 72% less likely to die from
SIDS, according to a study released today from Archives of Pediatrics
& Adolescent Medicine. The study included interviews with the mothers
of 185 infants who died from SIDS and the mothers of 312 other babies.

Fans offered even more protection to babies sleeping in warm rooms,
where temperatures were over 69 degrees, according to the study.
Although opening a window also appeared to reduce the risk of SIDS,
authors say this finding could have been due to chance.

I will not resist the temptation of pointing out just how full of hot
air the pro-infectious disease merchants of disability and death are,
and how a fan can blow away their effluvia.
