Spike in B.C. sudden infant deaths concerns coroner, CBC, July 5, 2011:
B.C.’s chief coroner is urging parents to use safe sleep practices in light of a spike in the number of sudden infant deaths across the province this year.
There have been 21 sudden infant deaths in B.C. so far this year, while there were 16 sudden infant deaths for all of 2010, Lisa Lapointe said Tuesday. [...]
She said the reason for the increased number of deaths is all the more mysterious because health authorities, family doctors and public health nurses have kept up efforts to educate parents.
The B.C. Coroner’s Service is continuing to investigate the 21 deaths.
“We know there’s been a spike in the first six months and we know it’s related to unsafe sleep practices. Why so many of those [deaths] have come up this year, we don’t know.” -Lisa Lapointe, B.C.’s chief coroner

Unsafe sleep practices? Let’s do some autopsies and see what we find, shall we?
Report Comment
I feel sick.
I’m just wondering if the coroners have a way of determining effects of radiation on a stillborn. Other than a statistical rise, how would they really know. Since he govnts have squashed any real information on exposure levels, how could they possibly extrapolate that the spike is due to radiation. Ugg! It makes my head spin to think of the convoluted lies and the deception that will continue on here, all at the expense of these babies’ lives.

Hmm… wonder if it could possibly be anything to do with the significant concentrations of radioactive poisons that have been flowing through the air (and getting into the water, soil, food) in the whole B.C. region since the triple nuclear meltdowns in Japan??

There are sids monitors out there that can easily prevent this. I want to tell these parents their baby would be alive today if they had a clue and forked over the $30 for a monitor to ensure their babies do not stop breathing. I guess that would not be pc.

I am with you on the SIDS monitors, but even they admit it doesn’t make sense as the cause of the spike. “Mysterious” it isn’t, especially with spikes in other areas all “mysteriously” happening after Fuku.

Another power station was shut down by jellyfish today amid claims that climate change is causing a population surge among the species.
A huge swarm clogged up the Orot Rabin plant in Hadera, Israel, a day after the Torness nuclear facility in Scotland was closed in a similar incident.
Hadera ran into trouble when jellyfish blocked its seawater supply, which it uses for cooling purposes, forcing officials to use diggers to remove them.

I Live in BC and there is not one person I deal with that has any interest in any of the subjects discussed here. It is as if I am living in a vacuum, or an asylum. The rationale for these deaths will be anything but Fukushima. Our media doesn’t cover Fukushima, Nebraska or Los Alamos. We are fed celebrity news, biker gang news, Lybia, Afganistan and the odd political folly. Our real estate in Vancouver is 12 times annual income and we are not told anything about the massive US debt and potential default even though most of our trade depends on the American market. If ever there was a collective place for people with their head in the sand, this is it.

I live in Victoria Australia and we had an earthquake yesterday which is pretty much unheard of? Then today all these story’s about volcano’s erupting in the very near future?

That is very interesting news about the earthquake in Victoria. Especially when combined with the fact that in the Elenin timeline linked above, there is this information:
“2011 JUL 5: Perfect Alignment between Elenin, Mercury and the Sun. We should keep an eye on Mercury, things could start moving there!”
So, an earthquake (very rare in Australia, as you say – it is a very old continent geologically) happens in Victoria on exactly July 5th, being the same day that yet another alignment with Elenin took place. Whatever is flying through the solar system closer and closer to Earth, it certainly appears to be having a significant physical effect, in terms of multiple dates of alignment between Elenin and other planetary bodies in the solar system matching dates of major earthquakes on Earth.
Definitely there is much more to Elenin than it being a “comet” as is officially claimed. There is too much counter-evidence that it is something much more massive in weight than a “comet”. For those who haven’t looked into this yet, search for Elenin and “brown dwarf” to see what you find (eg. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=1041&bih=751&q=elenin+%22brown+dwarf%22&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=).

Chances are you will be helped to the grave by some sort of autoimmune disfunction- cancer, AIDS, diabetes, arthritis, Crohns, MS, asthma. They are responses- over responses, under responses- of the human body to… environment? man-made toxins? We don’t know. All we have are correlations. The leap from cigarettes to cancer resulted from a correlation. Auto-immune responses remain mostly a mystery.
I don’t know what causes SIDS. Nor do I know why my friends had to rush their two year old to hospital as he suddenly developed severe breathing difficulty. High pollen count. Childhood asthma. No matter that the waiting room was filled with children all undergoing breathing difficulties of their own. Apparently the body shuts down when encountering pollen now… Use this Ventolin. What might the body’s response be to encountering radioactive particulate? Might it not exhibit symptoms similar to asthma? Enflaming the lungs with protective antibodies? Flushing out the body with symptoms similar to food poisoning?
Living in BC, Canada, I have encountered absolute silence concerning Fukushima. Even after Arnie Gundersen has told us at least four times now that we have all been poisoned! “Poisoned. Poisoned. You’ve been poisoned! You’re being poisoned…! Ah, forget it!”
Elisabeth Kubler Ross found a correlation between people and how they received the news of impending death. The first three stages are denial, anger, bargaining. That correlation seems to also apply for societies at large. But there do also seem to be darker forces at work, purposely distracting the public, insulating them, misinforming them. For what? In BC it seems to be real estate. Interesting. There seems to be a correlation between $ and evil, or is that still waiting to be proven?

Apathy was never one of Kubler-ross’s stages.
People now don’t even want to hear about this life threatening event. I remember that after Chernobyl, there was tremendous activism and the nuclear industry scotched opening new plants. Now, they ACCELERATE and build more.
They simply don’t pay attention to the few who protest, and the rest don’t care. Even sheep would be a little more concerned. What has happened to us?

On a similar topic.. My daughter just turned 1, yesterday. We live here in Sacramento, CA. After I saw the first video of Fuku on CNN I started worrying about exposure and such..

I check their site regularly. I was seriously hoping he would post the results of his testing. About the same time as this article the Feds removed the monitoring stations in Vancouver. As far as I know there are no tests for anything related to radiation being done on the west coast of Canada. Those who were doing them all stopped for one reason or another. If this was the US I would think it came down to the Feds putting the hammer down on the testers but here in fair as sin, clean as black rain Canada, I can’t see how that could happen.
