Thats funny, when I did my midwifery training, I was told/read recent research that said having a fan on will reduce cot death by over 70 percent. In terms of evidence, that's substantial enough to not be coincidence or speculation. Also, babies are pretty much weaker than old people in terms of physiology (to relate it to your guesstimate). Is your theory substantiated by any scientific research?
If not, shut up. Im tired of hearing about this crap and how drinking ModEdit makes you healthy and how kimchi is the healthiest food and how blah blah...

Is cot death related to heat? If not then it doesn't apply to the OP.
In my opinion if there is a grain of truth to the urban legend, then the convection oven comparison is correct. Convection ovens are hotter for a reason. Vulnerable people do die in heatwaves. It's conceivable that a fan might push what would have been a very near miss into a fatality.
Using an infant as an example: If you left them in an airtight car on a hot day, they could die. If there is a fan blowing directly on them, they will die sooner.
I'm not sure why you are getting angry about this. If I had to guess, I'd say it was because you like to flatter yourself by putting others down, and are a bit emotionally unstable. Either that or you are a manufacturer of fans. |

| Yeah, suicides and drinking oneself to death. Two things that a family just might not want getting out publicly. So, it's fan death. |
