Is someone actually saying that infant mortality would have been reduced if the babies had been killed before they were born? I'm a pro-choice person, but that logic is kind of twisted.

"In possibly the most amusing twist, ABC News found a “health expert” who laid the blame for increases in child mortality on Republicans, abortions, and the Supreme Court."

Apparently white people, Jews, Christians or heterosexuals were unavailable to take the blame this time.

Am I the only one concerned about Minoritized Communities?

I retract my previous vote... it WAS global warming after all!

Just look at what that bad boy is up to:

By far the biggest driver of infant mortality is abortion.

Does anyone know what is going on with the OPENVAERS website? It hasn't updated in over a MONTH!

Thanks for another important story, Igor!

I’m not aware of any other Covid skeptic who's asked this question: WHY would it be so important to push the start date of virus spread back several months? In this speculative deep dive, I identified several possible answers to this question.

You cannot make that up. Infant mortality is caused by not killing enough infants.

Or, Moms couldn’t get abortions so they killed their babies.

Restrictions to abortions' access will eventually benefit childrens health, because these operations are harmful for women and they might have pregnancy issues later in life when they decide to have babies.

It will be especially healthful to the baby not aborted.

However, as we know infant and neonatal mortality has increased in all heavily vaxxed countries, where abortion legislation has not been changed recently. How will legacy media spin this fact?

Expand full comment

Simple, they will just blurt out a bunch of lies, cherry pick some expert until the general population has heard it enough to actually believe it. You know, like they do everything. There should be a limit to the size of the parent company that can own a media organization. The media is dead.

I'm intrigued by the fact that infant mortality increased from 2001 to 2002 (20 years ago). They were phasing out thimerosal from infant vaccines in that time period. (No need to actually RECALL vaccines loaded with mercury - it's just babies we're talking about!) The phaseout happened from 1999 to about 2002. My older daughter was born in 2000.

I'm sure you know this, but the US has about the highest infant mortality rate in the developed world, and it has the most aggressive vaccine schedule in the world. It's the only country that vaccinates all infants for Hep B when Hep B isn't endemic. The only thing one can say that's good about the US vaccine schedule is that they took mercury out of most of the vaccines, but they replaced it in a lot of cases with aluminum, and the dangers of aluminum (and other adjuvants) is not well known.

Also, the infant mortality rate went down in 2020 - we think it's probably because so many babies were missing their routine vaccines because of COVID.

So white women still have the advantage over minorities even with a higher infant mortality rate. I guess that's a good thing what with depopulation and such. Why the negativity? 😉

Why the winking emoji? Facts are facts.

Just showing I'm being snarky. So e people might think I was serious.

So if they had been aborted thee would have been less infant mortality? Is that what they are trying to say?

Expand full comment

Take her argument to the extreme-if we abort 100% of pregnancies, infant mortality will drop to 0%. Stupid reasoning.

I would be far less angry if this was all entirely voluntary with fully informed consent.

But it was mandated in the most insidious ways, sneering , belittling, threatening livelihoods and worse, leaving most feeling they had no choice. This makes it culpable homicide in my eyes.

Expand full comment

The fully informed consent would have to be ‘there is a one in three chance you will be permanently injured, the vaccines make you more likely to die of COVID, you will likely be sick off and on the rest of your life, aaaannnnndddd COVID doesn’t actually exist. Okay, now that is out of the way, roll up your sleeve.’

It's murder either way, they knew what it would do. For the record the way they approached trying to bully people into getting the shot was one factor in my not taking it.

Igor are you sure about sepsis being caused by immune suppression? That's not what the Wikipedia article says. It says the immune suppression follows the first stage of sepsis, doesn't it?

Expand full comment

One does not exclude the other. Initial immune suppression, from the vaxx, eg, increases the possibility of sepsis. Sepsis itself will weaken theimmune system in a vicious circle.

Expand full comment

In Australia deaths to the underlying cause of sepsis went up 9% over trend in 2021 and 30% over trend in 2020. Similar for associated cause.

Expand full comment

It's also up 7% and 12% as an associated cause in cancer deaths.

Risk factors include being very young or old, a weakened immune system from conditions such as cancer or diabetes, major trauma, and burns.[1] (wikipedia)
