People Are Dying Too Soon

 Before the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, longstanding disease transmission models showed that isolating care home residents would lead to increased infections and deaths.

And yet, when COVID-19 hit governments around the world — claiming to be “following the science” — implemented policies that isolated vulnerable and elderly people in nursing homes.

That decision resulted in tens of thousands of deaths in the first few months of the pandemic in the U.S. alone. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/nursing-home-deaths-covid-policies/?utm_source=luminate&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=defender&utm_id=20231113

But, on the other end of the spectrum---------

U.S. infant mortality from all causes rose 3% in the year 2021 to 2022 — the first increase since 2001, according to a report from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).

The trend represents a sharp reversal, as between 2000 and 2020, infant deaths decreased by 21%. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/cdc-largest-infant-mortality-rate-increase-twenty-years/?utm_source=luminate&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=defender&utm_id=20231113
