(Natural News) Newborn babies in Scotland are dying at three times the normal rate, and authorities want to know why.
For the second time in six months, a “very unusual” surge in baby deaths is said to be occurring, with the latest wave in March alone clocking in at 18 infant deaths over the course of four weeks.
Last September was the first wave, which saw 21 neonatal deaths reported. (Related: There is also a major uptick in adult deaths among those who are “fully vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus, or Covid-19.)
“The neonatal mortality rate was 5.1 per 1,000 live births in September and 4.6 per 1,000 in March, against an average of 1.49 per 1000 in 2019,” reported The Herald newspaper.
Public Health Scotland (PHS) did admit that the latest death spike is not the result of mere chance. It has not provided even a suspected cause, however, and insists that the September spike “remained a mystery.”
More pregnant women are taking the jab: Is this to blame?
PHS released a report admitting that covid injection uptake has, in fact, increased among expectant mothers as of late, which suggests a link.
The agency also says that testing “positive” for covid during pregnancy is associated with a higher risk of premature birth, however there is no “direct link” between covid surges and these new infant deaths.
As for the September spike in deaths, PHS says that covid infections “did not appear to have played a role.” So, are the jabs to blame?
“The numbers are really troubling,” says Dr. Sarah Stock from The University of Edinburgh, though she, too, claims to not know the reason for them.
