In another pep rally for vaccines, they are praising the RSV for reducing infant mortality.
For the previous few years, infant mortality was 5.6 deaths per 1,000 births. It had been elevated during the ācovid pandemicā. But HOLD the trainā¦..the deaths dropped to a whopping 5.5 deaths per 1,000 births so all hail the savior known as the RSV vaccine for this change.
Really. You canāt make this up. But again, people who are just headline readers will regurgitate this as some massive epic success story. It isnāt.
Gee what really made infant mortality rise in 2022 and 2023. Another case of creating a problem and providing a BS solution. Pharma always the hero.
I guess I could get all statistics on them. Mention standard deviations but it would be lost on the vaccine faithful. They are celebrating a rounding error. This is just sad.
The article drags out the old lies about infant mortality rates in other countries being lower than the US. However they NEVER mention that the US counts every single infant death. No other country does that. Developed or otherwise. A few years ago I was stunned to find out that most Western European countries don't count deaths of those less than five years old. Like comparing apples to transmissions.
I didn't see it in the article, but maybe our bean counters have changed criteria for inclusion as well. Sort of like every Administration develops a new formula for calculating inflation and unemployment to make their numbers look better.
The Devil is in the details. Even if it is a small Devil. They want us dead.
