Interesting. Would you consider type 2 diabetes to be a disease? There are clear, well known steps people can take to reduce the likelihood of it happening, after all... I would be more sympathetic to your position if it were likely for death to occur if an infant sleeps in their belly, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It sure seems like SIDS is pretty rare even when belly sleeping, it just increases the risk factor. But, I've only started reading about it in the past two hours, so who knows. Thanks for the reply, in any case.

> I would be more sympathetic to your position if it were likely for death to occur if an infant sleeps in their belly Given the statistics of back sleeping campaign success it seems fair to say that having your baby sleep on its belly instead of its back would kill 1 in 1000 babies. That doesn’t seem particularly rare. Riding in a car without a car seat is considerably safer, getting covid is considerably safer. It would make up about 20 percent of child mortality deaths in the US, that’s not insignificant.
