Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies-and-

This article has been removed at the request of the Editor-in-Chief.
Following post-publication concerns raised by readers regarding potential research errors and methodological flaws in this article, the journal initiated an investigation and contacted the author for clarification.The Editor-in-Chief determined that the author's response did not satisfactorily address the concerns raised about this article. In particular, serious methodological flaws were identified in the use of VAERS data to infer a correlation between vaccination and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Given the inherent limitations of passive reporting systems, including the expected temporal clustering of events independent of causality, the conclusions presented in the article are not supported by the methodology employed. In light of these concerns, and given the potential implications for medical practice, the Editor-in-Chief has decided that the article should be removed. The author disagrees with this decision and disputes the grounds for removal.
Apologies are offered to the readers of the journal.

This case shows that even in states with statutory exceptions to abortion bans, such bans still may result in failure to provide timely lifesaving medical care.
