2020 shows a slight uptick in SIDS when compared to 2019, but there is also a slight decrease in "unknown": https://files.catbox.moe/r00jum.png

I am not sure if 2020 would have a reporting bias, but that is something to consider.
Aren't births down as of late? This could cause that graph to shift as well as SIDS deaths. They don't show the actual number of deaths, just rates.
Yes, births are down by 4% between 2019 and 2020. The numbers go with the "Deaths per 100,000 Live Births" chart. So this adjusts for birthrate, but there may be other factors to consider, like are the people giving birth in 2020 as willing to vaccinate. My guess is that health authorities, mainstream media, administrators, and policymakers pushed vaccination harder due to the increased attention on the issue.
