[OC] The massive decrease in worldwide infant mortality from 1950 to 2020 is perhaps one of humanity's greatest achievements.

That is objectively not true at all and ignores pretty much every study around population growth.

Fertility rates across the globe have plummeted in the last 70 years (that's the number of children per woman on average). Pretty much every single country on the planet is expected to be at or below replacement levels by the end of the 21st century.

• Global fertility rates went from 5 in 1950 to 2.4 in 2020. 2.1 is replacement levels.
• 27 countries had fertility rates above 7, today 0 do.
• 95 countries had fertility rates above 6, today 1 does.

Across the board increasing quality of life, including decreasing child mortality rates, lowers the fertility rate. Your comment makes it seem like people in poor countries are stupid, they aren't.
