evidence: A speculated link between vaccines and SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) has been refuted,[1] but remains a common anti-vaccine claim.[2] The claim, attributed to Robert Mendelsohn in 1991[3][non-primary source needed] and promoted by anti-vaccination activists such as Viera Scheibner in the early 1990s, is that vaccines, especially the DTP vaccine that protects against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis, sometimes causes sudden infant death syndrome. The World Health Organization has classified this as a "common misconception".[4] [...] - ^ "No, a Vaccine Court ruling does not show that vaccines cause SIDS". Science-Based Medicine. 2017-08-21.
