“ Let there be no misunderstanding on the point that shaking is an absolutely real and dramatic form of child abuse. Inflicted head trauma is a devastating condition and a definite cause of traumatic brain injuries, including intracranial hemorrhage. Many medical determinations of SBS/AHT are made on children who have effectively been victims of violent intentional trauma. Prevention efforts against all forms of child abuse are totally warranted.”

A lot of the comments here are missing this key statement. While there can be medical explanations for things that look like SBS, it’s exceedingly rare

I missed this part. Where does the author mention that other medical explanations (other than SBS) are exceedingly rare compared to the baby having indeed been shaken?
