Last time I noticed there were 24 hours in a day. A baby or toddler sleeps at least 1/2 that, likely unobserved. Fevers don't tell time. So 50% of baby seizures probably go unobserved.

You are assuming that the child only has a fever when asleep? A fever high enough to cause a seizure is not a low grade one, but is likely running at least 104 degrees F. These fevers don't go from normal temp (98.6 fahrenheit) to this level in minutes, cause a seizure, then subside quickly - if my own kids have been any guide.

If a baby has a fever does she not sleep in spite of the fever? If the fever causes a seizure how long will it last? Why wouldn't the baby fuss a little and go back to sleep?
Is the baby conscious during the seizure? What symptoms would make the parents aware the sleeping, now awake, baby had had a seizure?
Clayton,
You're just not getting it. You've obviously never seen a baby with a 104 C fever, let alone convulsions. Almost all the parents here have! I also bet you've never even spent 24 hours taking care of a healthy baby.
You have dreamt-up a completely impossible scenario. If vaccines caused as wide an epidemic of fever-induced convulsions as you propose, every parent would have seen it, every parent would have been horrified and frightened by it, and every parent would have contacted their doctor immediately. Give up- you don't have a clue about this...
The made little sense. It hardly deserves a response.

I have two kids, and the frequency of our appearance at A&E is factual evidence of the reality of responsible parents doing what must be done as a responsible parent.
How was that detected? Simple. You listen to the monitor, or you take a sick child into your bed at night, or you observe them in the daytime.
Parents are not stupid.
You are clearly not a parent.
A&E? Accident and Emergency?
Must have missed my mention that my older son is a special education teacher.
Yes, I didn't notice that, nor did you mention it over the past few posts when I specifically brought the subject up. Sorry.
Parents are not stupid.
And yet when parents report that their children exhibited the permanent symptoms of autism shortly after receiving a MMR vaccine they are not so smart?

Honestly, I don't mean to offend you (I'll only mention you haven't been reciprocally so generous in the Holocaust denial thread), but it still doesn't make sense to me... Were you in the military or somehow otherwise not available for childcare (long hours at work, responsible for your own parents, etc.) during periods of your children's early years? Didn't your son (or his younger sibling- he couldn't be your older son without at least one brother-right) ever have a fever? Didn't they have teething pains? A bad cold? Didn't you ever have sleepless nights nursing them during these illnesses?
I still don't see how you, as a parent, can even imagine that kids could go through febrile convulsions and you wouldn't notice. But, maybe your children weren't "fussy." If so, you should know it is rare; most kids sleep fitfully even when they aren't having fits (pun intended).
In any case, you invented out of whole cloth a vaccine-induced epidemic that never occurred and goes against all existing evidence to support your pet theory.
