From records of food insecurity (#hunger) to the costs of natural disasters to the causes of infant mortality, (and others) the federal government is no longer recording and preserving data on significant national risks and policies.

@georgetakei This is #institutionalracism . The rates of maternal and infant mortality are much higher for BIPOC women than white women. And way too high overall - higher than any other developed nation - but disproportionately so. It’s #eugenics .

"Though the #GOP likes to consider itself pro-family, the maternal and #InfantMortality data across the United States tells a different tale. The policies enacted by Republican state legislatures strongly contribute to the poor maternal and infant #health outcomes in these jurisdictions.
"This has been true for a very long time. But #Trump’s war on public health is making things a whole lot worse, a whole lot more quickly." https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-tylenol-rfk-childrens-health/#

States that enacted abortion restrictions after the 2022 *Dobbs v. Jackson* ruling had, on average, a 7.3% increase in the death rates for infants up to 1 year old. The mechanism(s) causing these excess deaths is (are) unknown.

Mississippi declares emergency over high infant mortality rates, the highest in the nation. The state never expanded Medicaid. It usually ranks number one in poverty.
Also has the highest maternal mortality rate in the US, worse than Iraq and just a little better than Guatemala.

Huh. So it turns out the secret to decreasing infant mortality in extremely poor areas may just be $1000. As in just giving families $1000 cash with no strings attached. It's almost like alleivating poverty has benefits across the board for people, including health benefits. But that can't be right because that would be communism. I'm sure the Sacred and Holy Free Market will provide us with a better solution though tax cuts for the rich, or something.

Where in the world are babies at the lowest risk of dying?
It’s difficult to compare countries because they don’t always measure infant mortality in the same way.Finland, Japan, and Sweden have the lowest, even when consistent rates are used. The gap between the US and most of Europe shrinks but does not close completely.

Hold onto your data sets, folks! 🤓 Our World in Data bravely tackles the mind-boggling conundrum of infant mortality rates—spoiler alert: it's complex! They've heroically discovered that comparing countries is as easy as herding cats 🐱, thanks to the revolutionary concept that not everyone measures things the same way! 🎉

A major landmark study led by the World Health Organization (WHO), published by The Lancet in 2024, reveals that global immunization efforts have saved an estimated 154 million lives – or the equivalent of 6 lives every minute of every year – over the past 50 years. The vast majority of lives saved – 101 million – were those of infants.

The astonishing link between #bats and the deaths of human #babies
A frightening wildlife #disease is killing millions of bats in the US. Humans are collateral damage. By compiling and analyzing a huge amount of government data, environmental economist Eyal Frank, discovered that in regions with outbreaks of #whitenosesyndrome, a wildlife disease that kills bats, the rate of #infantmortality increased by nearly 8% relative to areas without the disease. https://www.vox.com/down-to-earth/370002/bats-link-babies-death-study-white-nose-syndrome -

If you care about #babies, you must care about #bats
https://christaavampato.com/2024/09/17/if-you-care-about-babies-you-must-care-about-bats/
The journal #Science published a shocking paper this month linking a rise in #human #infantmortality to a declining #bat #population.
-
“Frank found that in U.S. counties where bat populations have been decimated by white-nose syndrome, human infant mortality rates rose by about 8 percent. That equates to 1,334 infant deaths between 2006 and 2017 that Frank says are attributable to a loss of #bats. #InfantMortality https://mastodon.social/@ScienceScholar/113093239863017654

The collapse of bat populations led to more than a thousand infant deaths
A new Science study shows that when communities experienced the near death of entire insect-eating bat populations, farmers increased their use of #pesticides. This in turn increased the #InfantMortality ratewild idea: we could just put a cap on pesticide use and enforce it?
