i wouldnt be surprised if they attribute this to people questioning the safety of vaccines, rather than the increase in number of "necessary" vaccines...

U.S. infant mortality rate rises for first time in 20 years; "definitely concerning," one researcher says
UPDATED ON: NOVEMBER 1, 2023 / 8:42 AM EDT / CBS/AP
The U.S. infant mortality rate rose 3% last year — the largest increase in two decades, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
White and Native American infants, infant boys and babies born at 37 weeks or earlier had significant death rate increases. The CDC's report, published Wednesday, also noted larger increases for two of the leading causes of infant deaths — maternal complications and bacterial meningitis.
"It's definitely concerning, given that it's going in the opposite direction from what it has been," said Marie Thoma, a University of Maryland researcher who studies maternal and infant mortality.
Dr. Eric Eichenwald, a Philadelphia-based neonatologist, called the new data "disturbing," but said experts at this point can only speculate as to why a statistic that generally has been falling for decades rose sharply in 2022.
RSV and flu infections rebounded last fall after two years of pandemic precautions, filling pediatric emergency rooms across the country. "That could potentially account for some of it," said Eichenwald, who chairs an American Academy of Pediatrics committee that writes guidelines for medical care of newborns.
Infant mortality is the measure of how many babies die before they reach their first birthday. Because the number of babies born in the U.S. varies from year to year, researchers instead calculate rates to better compare infant mortality over time. The U.S. infant mortality rate has been worse than other high-income countries, which experts have attributed to poverty, inadequate prenatal care and other possibilities. But even so, the U.S. rate generally gradually improved because of medical advances and public health efforts.
The national rate rose to 5.6 infant deaths per 1,000 live births in 2022, up from from 5.44 per 1,000 the year before, the new report said.
The increase may seem small, but it's the first statistically significant jump in the rate since the increase between 2001 and 2002, said Danielle Ely, the CDC report's lead author. She also said researchers couldn't establish whether the 2022 rise was a one-year statistical blip - or the beginning of a more lasting trend.
The CDC said preliminary data suggests the increase is continuing, with quarterly rates in the first quarter of 2023 higher than they were at the same time in 2022.
Overall in the U.S., the death rate fell 5% in 2022 — a general decrease that's been attributed to the waning impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially on people 65 and older. U.S. maternal deaths also fell last year.
More than 30 states saw at least slight rises in infant mortality rates in 2022, but four had statistically significant increases - Georgia, Iowa, Missouri and Texas.
In numbers, U.S. infant deaths surpassed 20,500 in 2022 — 610 more than the year before nationwide. Georgia had 116 more infant deaths than the year before, and Texas had 251 more.
"It would appear that some of the states could be having a larger impact on the (national) rate," Ely said, adding that smaller increases elsewhere also have an effect - and that it's hard to parse out exactly what places, policies or other factors are behind the national statistic.

From 2002 to 2021 the infant mortality rate declined 22%.
Detailed findings in the report, “Infant Mortality in United States: Provisional Data from the 2022 Period Linked Birth/Infant Death File” include:
The provisional infant mortality rate for the United States in 2022 was 5.60 infant deaths per 1,000 live births (that rate was 5.44 in 2021).
The total number of infant deaths for 2022 was 20,538. This was a 3% increase over 2021 which had 19,928 infant deaths.

From 2021 to 2022, increases in mortality rates were observed in the following categories:
- Neonatal and postneonatal infant deaths: The neonatal mortality rate increased 3% from 3.49 to 3.58 and the postneonatal mortality rate by 4%, from 1.95 to 2.02
- Infants born to American Indian and Alaska Native and White women: Mortality rates increased significantly among infants of American Indian and Alaska Native, non-Hispanic (7.46 to 9.06) and White, non-Hispanic women (4.36 to 4.52).
- Infants born to women ages 25 to 29: Infant mortality rates increased significantly for infants of women ages 25-29 from 5.15 to 5.37.
- Infants born preterm: Mortality rates increased significantly for total preterm (less than 37 weeks of gestation) and early preterm (less than 34 weeks of gestation) infants.
- Male infants: The mortality rate increased significantly for male infants from 5.83 infant deaths per 1,000 live births to 6.06.

This subject should be handled with great care and attention.
There is a lot at stake here. No pun intended.
