According to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), more infants are dying in the United States now than in the past two decades.1 The provisional infant mortality rate in the United States increased by 3% from 2021 to 2022, the first increase since 2001 to 2002.
“Seeing increases that hit the statistical significance mark suggests that this is a larger increase than we’ve seen in the past 20 years, and it’s something we need to keep an eye on to see if this is just a one-year anomaly or if this is just a one-year anomaly or if it’s just a one-year anomaly,” said study author, NCHS Health Statistician. Danielle M. Ely told The New York Times.2
The rise in infant mortality joins other news about health care, including declining life expectancy, and suggests deeper problems with the state of U.S. health care.3 Fortunately, there are many steps you can take to stay healthy at all stages of life.
U.S. infant mortality rate rises
The infant mortality rate in the United States increased from 5.44 per 1,000 live births in 2021 to 5.6 in 2022. 19,928 people in the year.4 Mortality rates increased significantly in several categories from 2021 to 2022, in particular:5
- Neonatal and postneonatal infant death— Neonatal deaths (those occurring before 28 days of life) increased by 3%, while postneonatal deaths (those occurring between 28 and 364 days of age) increased by 4%.
- Babies born to American Indians, Alaska Natives, and white women— Infant mortality rates increased significantly from 7.46 to 9.06 deaths per 1,000 live births for American Indian and Alaska Native women and from 4.36 to 4.52 deaths per 1,000 live births for white women.
- Babies born to women aged 25 to 29 years— Infant mortality among this group increased significantly, from 5.15 to 5.37 deaths per 1,000 live births.
- baby boy—— The number of male infant deaths increased from 5.83 to 6.06 per 1,000 live births.
- Babies in four states— Infant mortality rates increased in Georgia, Iowa, Missouri and Texas.
Among the leading causes of death, infant mortality increased due to maternal complications and bacterial sepsis, the report said.6 “Maternal complications may reflect worsening access to care for pregnant women, some 6 million of whom live in areas lacking maternal care. Additionally, rates of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other conditions among pregnant women are increasing,” Medicine and science writer Janice Hopkins Tanne writing in the BMJ.7
By 2022, more than one-third of the U.S.’s 3,143 counties will be classified as obstetric “deserts,” with no hospitals or birth centers providing obstetric care and no obstetric providers. The lack of care was blamed on financial problems, as maternity care services were “considered unprofitable”.8
Are the COVID-19 pandemic and COVID vaccinations involved?
The increase in infant mortality in 2022 may be related to the pandemic, as most babies born that year were conceived during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, which was also the year when COVID-19 vaccines were widely rolled out. Maternal deaths increased by 40% during the epidemic9 An increase in stillbirths has been reported.10
As of November 12, 2021, the Vaccine Adverse Event Notification System (VAERS) reported 2,620 fetal deaths or stillbirths among women who received COVID-19 shots.11 Health Impact News conducted the same VAERS search but excluded COVID-19 shots, thus looking for fetal deaths in women who had received any vaccine other than the COVID-19 vaccine in the past 30-plus years. They found:12
“We currently estimate a total of 2,838 fetal deaths per year after COVID-19 vaccination, compared with an average of 74 fetal deaths per year recorded after vaccination of pregnant women over the past 30 years.”
Problems began shortly after the COVID-19 vaccine was rolled out, with a major California hospital receiving a leaked email warning 200 nurse practitioners. The email, published in September 2022, had the subject line “Death Management,” referring to an increase in stillbirths and fetal deaths. Reporting by TCW reporter Sally Beck shared the contents of the email, which read:13
“It seems that the number of deaths is increasing [babies] What we’re seeing is here to stay.22 people have died [stillbirths and fetal deaths] in august [2022]which is related to [equals] Death tolls so far in July and September 2021 hit record highs [2022] It’s been 7 days and it’s only the 8th day of the month.
Baker reports that Michelle Gershman, a nurse who works in a neonatal unit, had her bonus withheld because she spoke out about rising fetal mortality. “We used to have one fetal death a month. Now it’s up to one or two a week,” Gershman said. Baker reported:14
“Her experience, and that of doctors who treat pregnant women, goes against official ‘safe and effective’ observations and recommendations, but due to the gag order imposed in September 2021, no one can speak freely.15 Developed by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG).
… At the beginning of the rollout in December 2020, pregnant women who were health care workers or considered at risk of contracting the coronavirus began to receive the shot.
By May 2021, the vaccine was recommended for all pregnant women in the United States, despite the fact that none of the vaccine manufacturers had completed animal reproductive toxicology reports or begun clinical trials in pregnant women. Two months later, the hospital noticed a significant increase in miscarriages, stillbirths, premature births, pregnancy complications and menstrual abnormalities.
Board-certified internist and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough says COVID-19 shots during pregnancy should be designated Category X,16 This means that “the risks of use by pregnant women clearly outweigh any possible benefits. This drug is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant.”number 17
Despite highest spending, US has worst infant and maternal mortality rates
Infant mortality is on the rise and the mortality rate is already high compared to other countries such as Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
A report from the Commonwealth Fund compared health care in the United States to the countries listed, showing: “The United States has the lowest life expectancy at birth, the highest mortality from avoidable or treatable diseases, the highest maternal and infant mortality rates, and It is the country with the lowest life expectancy at birth in the world.18
The infant mortality rate in the United States in 2020 (5.4 deaths per 1,000 live births) was the highest of any country analyzed. In comparison, Norway has only 1.6 deaths per 1,000 live births. The U.S. maternal mortality rate is also three times higher than most other high-income countries:19
“American women have long had the highest maternal mortality rates related to pregnancy and childbirth complications. In 2020, there were nearly 24 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in the United States, more than three times the rate in most countries. We studied other high-income countries.
High rates of C-sections, inadequate prenatal care, and socioeconomic inequalities leading to chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease may help explain the high rates of infant and maternal mortality in the United States.
Despite high health care spending, outcomes remain poor. “While the United States spends more on health care than any other high-income country, the country tends to perform worse on health and health care measures,” the report found. “…Other countries achieve better health outcomes , while spending far less on overall health care.”20
Past research published in the journal Human and Experimental Toxicology has also shown that infant mortality is related to childhood vaccination rates, with countries with high vaccination rates having higher child mortality rates.twenty one A reanalysis of the study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Cureus in February 2023, reiterated the positive correlation between vaccine doses and infant mortality.twenty two
Life expectancy in the United States is lower than other high-income countries
In the United States, life expectancy is also three to five years lower than in other high-income countries.twenty three In 2022, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also announced that life expectancy has declined for two consecutive years from 2020 to 2021, shortening by nearly a year.twenty four
“This decline – from 77.0 years to 76.1 years – brings U.S. life expectancy at birth to its lowest level since 1996. Life expectancy fell by 0.9 years in 2021 and by 1.8 years in 2020, the largest decrease in two years decline since 1921 to 1923,” the CDC said.25
Medical errors remain the leading cause of death in the United States, with an estimated 795,000 people permanently disabled or dying each year due to misdiagnosis.26 Diagnostic errors are also disturbingly common among hospitalized adults who die or are transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU).27
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine researchers describe diagnostic errors as “the most under-resourced public health crisis we face” and say the public is largely unaware of the full scope of medical misdiagnosis in the United States28
A review of nearly 300 studies by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality found that about 1 in 10 people who visit the emergency room will be misdiagnosed and 1 in 5 will be diagnosed with a medical condition. 1 in 50 people will suffer an adverse event and 350 people will suffer permanent disability or death.29
There are 130 million emergency department (ED) visits in the United States each year, equivalent to 7.4 million misdiagnoses, 2.6 million related adverse events, and 370,000 serious injuries caused by diagnostic errors.30
Protect the health of future generations
To address the rising infant mortality rate in the United States, experts recommend ensuring that all pregnant women have access to comprehensive prenatal care to help identify and manage health conditions that may lead to infant death.
In addition, measures aimed at improving women’s health before and during pregnancy can reduce risks associated with childbirth and infancy. This includes managing chronic conditions, promoting healthy lifestyles and providing mental health support.
It’s crucial to get back to basic healthy habits like eating whole foods, getting quality sleep, exercising regularly, maintaining daily activity, and managing stress. Additionally, every reduction in toxic exposure helps improve health.
Therefore, it is important not only to develop healthy habits but also to eliminate potentially harmful elements, especially during pregnancy. This includes toxic personal care and cleaning products, electromagnetic field exposure and unnecessary medications – including COVID-19 vaccinations. Through a holistic approach to health, you can help stay healthy at every stage of your life.
Orwell’s warning
Unfortunately, the rise in infant mortality may be related to recommendations for pregnant women to get the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy. The media are called the “Fourth Estate” because of their power and ability to publicize and frame political issues. But when it comes to mRNA injections—whether intentionally or ignorantly—the media misleads people, resulting in unnecessary death and suffering.
Instead of investigating and illuminating important issues and concerns, they hide and suppress one side of the story and unduly distort the other. Orwellian puns also became commonplace.
In George Orwell’s “1984”, the background is a society ruled by an all-knowing “Big Brother” with an iron fist. Citizens are under constant surveillance. Privacy does not exist and language is twisted to justify and glorify oppression. Sadly, many people have embraced a culture of fear and they don’t even need a dictator to tell them to follow the rules, even when it’s obvious they don’t have medical benefits. The result is increased infant mortality and excess mortality.
