Previously, parents were told SIDS could be prevented if they took proper precautions: laying babies on their backs, not letting them overheat and keeping all toys and blankets out of the crib were a few of the most important preventative steps. So, when SIDS still occurred, parents were left with immense guilt, wondering if they could have prevented their baby’s death.
Dr. Carmel Harrington, the lead researcher for the study, was one of these parents. Her son unexpectedly and suddenly died as an infant 29 years ago. (…) Harrington explainedwhat she was told about the cause of her child’s death.
“Nobody could tell me. They just said it’s a tragedy. But it was a tragedy that didn’t sit well with my scientific brain.”
Since then, she’s worked to find the cause of SIDS, both for herself and for the medical community as a whole. She went on to explain why this discovery is so important for parents whose babies suffered from SIDS.
"These families can now live with the knowledge that this was not their fault,” she said.
(…) As the cause is now known, researchers can turn their attention to a solution. In the next few years, those in the medical community who have studied SIDS will likely work on a screening test to identify babies who are at risk for SIDS and hopefully prevent it altogether.
Syrian Defense: The Israeli enemy carried out an aggression with bursts of surface-to-surface missiles from the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting some points in the south of Damascus, and our air defense media confronted the aggression’s. The aggression led to 3 martyrs. X

Yeah, sorry, we still don’t actually know 100% what causes SIDS. The enzyme found is a potential (!) biomarker, which can indicate a vulnerability but in no way definitively proves that this is the singular cause for SIDS. There are several limitations to the study, including the samples being approx. 2 years old, and more importantly, that we don’t know how many people who are healthy/don’t die of SIDS have this abnormality. This is a cool finding and definitely one that will be the basis of a lot of important research in the future, but it’s overblown and inaccurate to claim that we have finally found the singular cause of SIDS. More importantly, I see people claiming that now we can stop telling people only to let their babies sleep on their backs, without toys, etc. These are well-established recommendations whose implementation caused a notable decline in SIDS cases worldwide. Please don’t put the cart in front of the horse with this one.
Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.
Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.
They were CHILDREN.
They were murdered in cold blood.
I’d like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldn’t have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how “great” they were.
Here’s another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didn’t get a picture
People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to seethis.
I’d really recommend getting on Twitter or Instagram right now to see people reporting live on the flag march - I’ve already seen several videos of Palestinian women be kicked and spat on by settlers, them chanting in the hundreds for the deaths of Palestinians, the chants about the torture and murder of a Palestinian child (Mohammad Abu Khdair), and them being protected as they march through Jerusalem by the Israeli police/idf. Beyond that, three Palestinian children were murdered just this week.
i wanted to post more abt what’s going on in alaqsa today but i can’t right now. im incredibly triggered and on edge
im sorry if you’re someone who’s been getting all the palestine news from me and other bloggers on tumblr but, eye on palestine has been posting all day
please check them out. spread their posts. be proactive instead of waiting for posts to show up on your dashboard
khalil awawdeh is still not free. ahmad manasra is still not free. israa jaabis is still not free. countless innocent people imprisoned without trial are still not free.
Israel has murdered another child on Friday, zaid ghnaim
Israel is still suppressing journalists because they don’t want people to know about how depraved they are. threatening them with arrest.
Palestinians are being arrested en masse to protect ultra nationalist Israelis who want to see us “shipped off to a refugee camp in Jordan” or killed in a “second nakba”.
There’s violent disgusting Islamophobic and racist vitriolic garbage all over twitter courtesy of zionists. and im just at my limit.
