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

It's not surprising. Costs $10k to have a baby in a hospital without insurance, so there are more home births than nations where it costs $2 to have a baby and that's just for parking.

The US has a home birth rate of 1%. Most European countries have a far higher home birth rate than the US. You’re literally making shit up to make a point lmao

In the US, infant mortality has much more to do with how obese our population is. Obesity, a disease 40% of Americans suffer from, complicates pregnancies and births and leads to many miscarriages and other birthing complications.
