Shaken baby syndrome and Vaccinations: Similar Symptoms

Ok so the day Meili got her shots, she stopped babbling. She didn't get a fever or become more irritable (than usual anyways). But she completely ceased vocalizing. She had very watery stools for two days but none of the horrible flatulence or apparent tummy discomfort. 

By day seven after the shots she still wasn't talking. She'd also seemed not to be responding to my voice anymore. No smiles for Mama. And was so lethargic, gazing vacantly at nothing in particular. She also didn't seem motivated to roll at all. And she'd been choking on her own saliva quite often, plus vomiting (which she hadn't done before). 

I just felt something was off. I got worried. 

Googling vaccination side effects interestingly brought up Shaken. Baby Syndrome (SBS). Apparently many of the symptoms of SBS are similar to vaccination side effects. 

According to MedlinePlus:

The symptoms can vary from mild to severe. They may include:

So I worried. It totally didn't help that I read the statistics of over 600 babies dying in 2007, after receiving their shots. More than 30% died within two hours, and deaths were reported up to a week after. http://www.nvic.org/Doctors-Corner/Edward-Yazbak/Multiple-Vaccinations-and-the-Shaken-Baby-Syndrome.aspx
