CDC data shows rate rose 3% last year but experts say they are not sure why statistic that has been falling should have risen sharply
Next, organize the data by zip code and overlay it on a political heat map of the United States. I have a theory…
Here’s a start for ya.

Infant mortality tends to rise when abortion is restricted
According to Republicans this is a feature…
True. Unwanted babies etc etc… having just had my first child a little over a month ago, it makes me sad to think of it, but I also know how stressful this stressful these weeks have been for my wife and I, and can’t imagine my mental state if I didn’t want the baby to begin with.

The United States doesn’t care about people, only capital.
You see it in the ruins of public education, the ruins of the common infrastructure, the innumerable tent cities where we throw our neighbors to die of exposure and police harassment for the crime of being sub-optimal capital batteries, the way we let capitalists treat their workers, etc.
Why is this story surprising?
Idiots can crow about what a “great wealthy nation of opportunity we are herp derp” but we are more of a propagandized labor camp than a society. The inhuman priorities this nation actually practices are beyond contemptible.
And nothing will change unless it’s for the worse, because the capitalist’s gravy pipeline is our only priority at all other’s expense, and surprise surprise, they still demand more out of your ass to to attempt to satiate their insatiable greed. Lets just give you even shittier healthcare and pocket the difference in our race down into oblivion, shall we? Thats called rational self-interest!
Unsurprising. After dropping already insufficient COVID protections after two years of killing the most vulnerable adults, makes sense that morality is up for babies where new vulnerable hosts continue to be produced.
Also:
- allowing multiple infections of an immune-suppressing virus,
- while placing continuing high-load accute and increasing-load chronic health conditions on a health care system while
- having healthcare staff decrease due to burnout and post-covid conditions
- and having poorer folks with less access to the best protections (work from home, homeschool/daycare, quality mask, quality education on how to stay safe from COVID)
All seems to track.
