 YOU GUYS ARE SCARING ME OUT OF HAVING CHILDREN!
 How on earth can a parent make the
 right decisions?? All the information flying around on the list is pretty unnerving. Sure the numbers may be very low but the #1 thing I worry about (and most other expectant parents) is the baby's health. How do all you parents do this without going batty.... But thanks for sharing all this
 info.

actually, while the overall rate may well have dropped, the US has an ABHORRENT record in this department:

Note, also, that MOST of the reduction in IMR have NOTHING to do with vaccines...most of them have to do with congenital defects...perinatal complications...etc. In fact, SIDS may be *directly correlated* to increased vaccination:
A quote:

In 1950, before mass vaccination began, the USA had the third lowest infant mortality rate in the world. By 1986, the USA dropped to 17th place. By 1995, there were 23 countries ahead of the USA, by now world renowned for its appalling infant mortality. The greatest percentage of these deaths is from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The link between vaccination and SIDS is indisputable <A href="http://hometown.aol.com/drdawndc/cdab.htm" target=_blank>http://hometown.aol.com/drdawndc/cdab.htm SIDS is not easy to cure with Infant Tylenol.

Happily, at least one country thinks it has a solution:

 A quote: "(2) Crib deaths nearly disappeared in Japan in 1975 when first inoculations were postponed until the 24th month of life." -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 12:16 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L sicker? possibly.
