On 12 October 1985, two years before retiring from a 30 year career in micropaleontology, Dr Viera Scheibner (PhD) met Leif Karlsson, a Swedish electronics engineer living in Australia. She asked him whether her would develop a breathing monitor for babies. He said yes. A year and a day later, the first unit of their monitor, called Cotwatch, went to the first parents who decided to monitor their newborn babies' breathing. At that time, the SIDS researchers thought that babies were dying because they were born with an inborn fault in their breathing controls. They never looked at what happened to those babies before they died. Viera and Leif instructed all parents who monitored with Cotwatch to record the alarms. Two months into monitoring many parents reported alarms. Leif and Viera asked them what happened just before the alarms started. One event stood up prominently: vaccination. Instead of ignoring this, Viera decided to looked closer into the vaccination issues and started going to medical libraries and searched for the relevant research published in reputable medical and scientific journals. She found a number of such articles linking vaccination to sudden infant deaths and other serious reactions.

When Viera and Lleif told the SIDS researchers about their findings, they thought that they would be pleased. However, they were not pleased at all and started closing ranks against Cotwatch home monitor and stopped sending parents to get one. Before Leif died in 1994, he developed a computerised Cotwatch and Viera continued in her research. She discovered the characteristic dynamics of stress response in breathing and the existence of critical hours and critical days. She linked her findings with Selye' s non-specific stress syndrome and enlarged this concept in a substantive way.

To this day Viera has accumulated and studied more 200, 000 pages of medical papers dealing with vaccination issues. She had to extend her house by 100 square metres to house that library.

She published two books ("Vaccination" and "Behavioural Problems in Childhood, the Link to Vaccination") and some 200 shorted essays and articles published in BMJ.com, J. ACNEM; and a number of other journals dealing with natural health and related subjects.

She was invited to report her findings at medical and scietific conferences and meetings of parents in many countries.
