Scottish Government Investigates Sudden Rise in Newborn Deaths

It was reported on October 2nd, that the Scottish Government will investigate two waves of rising newborn deaths in Scotland over a six-month period in 2021. The data show that at least eighteen newborns in less than four weeks, died in March. By September, at least twenty-one newborns in less than four weeks had died. These figures were higher than expected and caused official concern.

In the past, the neonatal mortality rate was about 2 per 1,000. In March 2021, the neonatal mortality rate tripled sharply to 4.6 per 1,000. In September of the same year, the neonatal mortality further climbed to 4.9 per 1,000. Public Health Minister Mary Todd said, “Every newborn death is a tragedy for every family, so at the beginning of this year, I immediately made every effort to investigate past relevant information to find out the cause of the increased mortality rate.”

In addition, data show that the infant mortality rate for children under one year of age has climbed to the highest point in the past decade. Relevant reports point out that the preliminary judgment has nothing to do with the COVID19 vaccine.

However, if even government officials, doctors and experts are still analyzing and understanding the data, it is unclear where the argument ‘not related to vaccines’ originated from, or whether there is a role of whitewashing Government propaganda. What can be inferred, however, is that the link between the COVID19 vaccine and neonatal deaths has indeed aroused such public suspicion that the government has had to respond again and again through seemingly neutral reports.

Mothers-to-be who are expecting a newborn at home should also be aware that the COVID19 vaccination may put themselves and their babies at risk of unnecessary death and should be treated with caution.
