I was confused because our perinatal mortality was bad and is now worse but this is specifically about infants, so the answer is real fucking simple

People don't have the time or money (and all too fucking often, a single crumb of trust that the medical industry has the best interests of their child at heart) to take their kids to the doctor. Or even better, when they see the doctor, it's not a doctor, it's someone with < 1% of the studied, standardized training regimen determined to kill the fewest patients from egregious malpractice. So parents cross their fingers and pray, because they don't really have a choice. I see the same thing with adults every day.

Our country turned infrastructure, housing, healthcare, education, relationships, communication, the natural environment into a speculative investment, the more profit made, the people go without. It will only continue to get worse, the world is already burning but the wheel cannot turn backwards.

They've been "bombing a refugee camp" for like 50 years now without consequences while simultaneously rebuilding the Hero's Journey as a saga of a retroactive empowerment revenge fantasy enactment - the holocaust was so unspeakably evil they're forced to preemptively holocaust anyone that could ever potentially someday cross them. The ultimate self fulfilling prophecy

The top tier kind of trash hamfisted "spoiled, fat lazy failson pretending to act like a hard ass" fascist logic that makes Orson Scott Card look like Umberto Eco

On one hand I cannot believe it could possibly be real but on the other all alternative explanations are, uh, let's say majority fantastical.

Yet the world continues accelerating down the "at any possible fork, always going down the stupidest possible timeline" nightmare freefall

I was terrorized by these satanic pint sized demon creatures for the first half of my life and I have also never heard javelina called this, but it fits

I'll be sure to let all the type one diabetics know there are no such things as miracle drugs, and I'm sure everyone with congenital hyperlipidemias will be relieved to know they can just eat salads from here on out.

Israel just openly doing a war crime 100% speedrun just daring anyone to say anything that hasn't been filtered through an entire PR department

The level of arrogance on display in not realizing how devastating the consequences of this open genocide will be makes Americans look meek and humble by comparison.

Terrorists infamously love getting up before noon to make death threats that make carrying out the actual act of threatened terrorism impossible
