SBS - Should Blooming Stop
Thursday, February 17th, 2011Hi,
Having a break from investigating and applying for things under the Freedom of Information Act (boy do I love that act). Found this blog below, which makes some good points.
I have a number of issues with the article (I was interviewed but not quoted by the author in preparation of the piece). The animal experiments by Ommaya and other were not brutal…unplesant to view perhaps but carefully done according to prevailing norms). Two seminal papers of biomechanical evaluation of shaking (Duhaime, et al., 1987; and Prange, et al., 2004) did falsify the notion that shaking without impact can produce the so-called triad. From this alone the theory of SBS is dead scientifically. You simply cannot “get there from here”. I would like to know specifically what robust and credible work implied by Christian and Block, overcome the above work? As one worker in child protection was quoted (not in this article), if the conclusions of some experiment don’t agree with what we know, then the experiment is wrong.
This is not science. It is dogma and should be recognized as such.
One day SBS will be viewed as absurd and tragic as the witch trials in Salem.
Another blog went onto say why would the state all come together…cos they go into auto pilot, want to be heroes, people in these sort of jobs often see the worse in things (Police Officers can be terrible - what you upto…yeah right, sort of thing), there’s also fame and fortune in it…
Things are moving again, apologies you all have to keep waiting…I can truly empathise!
Stay safe
