SB1011: medical examiners; sudden infant death

Bill Summary

requires infant deaths to be reported to CDC (which AZ already does) and requires vaccination records to be reviewed by Medical Examiners in SIDS cases (which is also already done.) This is likely to be the first step in creating a state database linking childhood vaccines to SIDS, meant to discourage vaccination. The majority of SIDS cases likely will be vaccinated, because the majority of all kids are vaccinated. Correlation does not equal causation.
