To understand this situation we need to talk a little bit of mathematics.  When I talk about mortality, I will speak of deaths due to either the regular or the swine flu.  So, for example, if one country has 1 death for each 500 cases of flu, or 0.2%,  and another country has 1 death for each 50 cases of flu, or 2%,  the second country has more deaths from the flu (or, 10 times more).  It is very important that you understand this, or you will not understand the rest of my newsletter.

Introduction

These cases fall in two general categories: (1) Shaken Baby Syndrome, in which it assumed that a parent or caretaker, exhausted and irritated by a fussy baby, picks up the baby by its chest or heels and shakes the baby with such violence that any onlooker would recognize it as excessive and dangerous, and (2) infants with multiple fractures.  Based on personal observations, in both areas there has been a general pattern of precipitous diagnoses of inflicted child abuse without first establishing a differential diagnosis and ruling out other possible causes. It is my opinion that a large majority of these infants are being misdiagnosed and parents or caretakers falsely accused and convicted. This paper deals with the Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS). The subject of multiple fractures is addressed in a separate paper, available on request.
