Official data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has revealed that infant mortality rates have now soared to a record high.
Newly released CDC data shows that death rates for American babies spiked massively in 2022.
The surge marks the first jump in infant mortality rates in twenty years.
The surge in deaths for children under the age of 1 started in 2022, the year after Covid mRNA shots were rolled out for public use.
In June 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expanded the approval for Covid mRNA injection to be used on babies and toddlers aged 6 months to 5 years old.
According to data released by the CDC, more than 20,500 babies died in 2022 before the age of 1.
The final records show that, overall, there were 5.6 infant deaths for every 1,000 live births, a 3% increase from the year before.
Infant mortality in the US has been generally trending down since at least 1995, when consistent tracking started.
However, rates are still much higher in the U.S. than they are in many peer nations.
There have been some small upticks over that time.
However, 2022 was the first time there was a statistically significant increase since 2002, according to the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics.
Experts are warning that any increase in infant deaths is cause for concern.
Amanda Jean Stevenson, a demographer and assistant professor of sociology at the University of Colorado Boulder, is among those raising the alarm after reviewing the CDC data.
“Infant health is one of the most important public health indicators that we have,” Stevenson said.
“The fact that [infant mortality rates] are not continuing to decrease is a very big deal.
“Even flat infant mortality rates are not good.
“We need to see these numbers going down – and fast – because they are far too high.”
The CDC report also lists the leading causes of infant mortality in the U.S.
According to the CDC report, congenital malformations led to nearly 1 in 5 deaths.
Another 14% was caused by disorders related to short gestation and low birth weight, followed by sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), unintentional injuries, and maternal complications.
The rate of infant deaths from maternal complications jumped 9% between 2021 to 2022, from about 30 infant deaths for every 100,000 live births to more than 33 per 100,000 live births.
However, the CDC report makes no mention of the Covid mRNA injections which were first administered to infants in 2022.
As THAIMBC News has reported, multiple studies have now linked Covid shots to surging health complications and sudden deaths among children.
A major new study has finally confirmed the cause of soaring heart failure cases among children that are being reported all around the world.
Since early 2021, there has been a global surge in reports of children suffering heart failure and cardiac-related deaths.
The once-rare phenomenon has become almost commonplace in the post-Covid era.
As THAIMBC News has been reporting, cases of cardiac-related deaths and heart failure such as myocarditis and pericarditis have increased dramatically over the past three years.
Myocarditis and pericarditis are inflammatory conditions of the heart and are generally considered to be rare, especially among children.
Severe cases can lead to serious complications and even death.
Both conditions are known side effects of the Covid mRNA shots.
Earlier this month, doctors issued a warning to the public after discovering a shocking increase in “unexplained” deaths among children.
A group of prominent Canadian medical doctors and scientists has just held a press conference to warn the public about a staggering spike in child deaths.
The doctors issued an emergency warning over an “alarming 3000% increase in unexplained child deaths.”
