The so-called COVID-19 “pandemic” appears to have brought on a surprising — and unexplained — effect on the normal expected death rate among children — starting in early March, expected deaths began to sharply decline, from an expected level of around 700 deaths per week to well under 500 by mid‐April and throughout May:
…As untimely deaths spiked among the elderly in Manhattan nursing homes and in similar settings all over the country, something mysterious was saving the lives of children. As springtime in America came along with massive disruptions in family life amid near universal lockdowns, roughly 30% fewer children died.
Was this a protective effect of school closures? Were teenagers getting themselves into risky situations at a lower rate? No. There was very little effect among school age children or adolescents…
Virtually the entire change came from infants. Somehow, the changing pattern of American life during the lockdowns has been saving the lives of hundreds of infants, over 200 per week.
…Compared to expectations, the lives of over 200 infants per week were saved during the month of May. Combining the number of lives saved in infants and children aged 1‐4, demonstrates a smaller but comparably large and beneficial effect: roughly 145,000 life‐years saved among children under 5. Noting the surprising effect of the lockdown on infants and children under 5 does nothing to negate the tragic effect of the pandemic on the elderly. It does, however, raise a question: why are so many fewer children dying?
…There are however, frequent cases in which previously healthy infants die unexpectedly. These deaths are usually classified as “Sudden Infant Death Syndrome” or SIDS. According to the CDC, SIDS deaths are one of the two largest causes of death among infants aged 1 month to 1 year. [7]
We have no specific data on the trend in SIDS deaths during the pandemic. We have, however, heard anecdotal reports from emergency room (ER) doctors suggesting some have observed a decline in SIDS. One doctor who says he might see 3 cases of SIDS in a typical week has seen zero cases since the pandemic and associated lockdowns began.
What has changed during this period that might have such an effect? Are infant deaths not being recorded?
…One very clear change that has received publicity is that public health officials are bemoaning the sharp decline in infant vaccinations as parents are not taking their infants into pediatric offices for their regular well‐baby checks. In the May 15 issue of the CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), a group of authors from the CDC and Kaiser Permanente reported a sharp decline in provider orders for vaccines as well as a decline in pediatric vaccine doses administered. These declines began in early march, around the time infant deaths began declining.
This effect may not be confined to the U.S. The World Health Organization issued a press release on May 22 noting that, “Since March 2020, routine childhood immunization services have been disrupted on a global scale that may be unprecedented since the inception of expanded programs on immunization (EPI) in the 1970s.” [9] Are fewer children dying because their parents are skipping their routine childhood vaccines? If lives are being saved during the pandemic, this is a question that urgently needs answering.
Between birth and 2 years old, infants are subjected to a whole retinue of dangerous life-threatening vaccines that have long been suspected as the cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (S.I.D.S.) or Crib Death, and even court cases have also established this connection.
Why would any parent take a healthy child to a doctor in the first place?
Aren’t we supposed to go to doctors when we are sick?
Parents of young children especially are told this lie of “preventative health care” which almost solely involves multiple vaccinations — good luck finding a pediatrician who advises parents on proper nutrition for their children as a “preventative”.
If you want to dramatically increase the chances of your child getting sick or dying, take them to a pediatrician for a “wellness check” and get them up to date on all their vaccines.
Post vaccination, your children will start experiencing some of the following: chronic ear aches, digestive problems, eczema, asthma, seizures, obesity, autism, diabetes, poor eye sight requiring glasses, or sudden death — the list is endless.
Just as when death rates have gone down in countries when the doctors have gone on strike, we now know that the same effect happens when children can’t be vaccinated by those same purveyor of “health”.

Could you cite where the figure of “30% fewer children died” came from please? I shared your article and I would like to have the data showing this. Thanks.

Desiree, the above cited article offers the following source for the “30% fewer children died” statistic:
“Provisional COVID‐19 Death Counts by Sex, Age, and Week.” [Online] [Cited: June 6, 2020.] https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional‐COVID‐19‐Death‐Counts‐by‐Sex‐Age‐and‐W/vsak‐wrfu
However, if you click on that link, it appears the CDC has removed that article–obviously to hide this inconvenient truth. They have probably buried these statistics somewhere here:
https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Death-Counts-by-Sex-Age-and-W/vsak-wrfu
The other citation given is here:
NCHS Data Brief, Number 355. [Online] January 2020. [Cited: May 16, 2020.] https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db355_tables‐508.pdf#4
Strangely, that link is also removed, but the original Data Brief #355 can be found here–this shows what the infant mortality rate was in 2018 for comparison purposes:

Please forgive my lack of knowledge on autism…
Why do we see this effect in children and not adults? Is it because we don’t vaccinate adults, or does an adults mature physiology make it able to negate the root causes of autism? Not sure if I’m asking the right questions. I’m happy to read any reference material that would help me understand this better.
Thanks for indulging my “newbie” question.

Yes, children’s neurological systems are very immature and not developed yet, which makes them far more susceptible to the damage caused by vaccines. The average age for the onset of autism is 2 years old, which coincides with the first MMR (mumps, measles, rubella) vaccine. The MMR vaccine tricks the immune system to attack the protective sheath of the neurons, which causes them to fire continuously. And adult have fully formed nervous systems so they aren’t as susceptible, but they still can experience neurological damage from other “adult” vaccines, especially the tetanus vaccine, which can cause Guillain-Barre syndrome.

I got the pertussis vaccine at age 39 after the my doctor bullied me into thinking I would give my one year old baby whooping cough. Within the next year I developed an auto immune disorder called Hashimoto’s. I now have to take medicine for my thyroid everyday. I was perfectly healthy before that, no medications.

How are the AUTISM numbers?
Chesterton
Autism doesn’t develop suddenly like SIDS. It is an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system mistakes the myelin sheath that coats and protects the nerves as a foreign protein and attacks it, breaking it down, and stripping the nerves in the brain of their insulation. Apparently, it’s the antibodies to the measles virus in the MMR vaccine that attack the protein in myelin.
Symptoms become noticeable over time, and at different rates depending on the child. Probably would take a year before we could see reliable data about autism rates and the lack of vaccination.
Steve Elkins
You are absolutely correct. Demyelination. The drug companies can not split up the MMR vaccine into 3 separate vaccines. If done, and the Autism rate plummeted , the cover up would be known, and litigation would swallow them up. The must stick with the lies, and never split up that vaccine. They will continue to call us honest people in medicine and science ” conspiracy theorists”. Profits before people is their philosophy. Steve

They used to give the 3 vaccines separately.
But the vaccine companies are all protected since the 80s when Ronald Regan signed The “childhood vaccine injury act” that sounds like it’s protecting children but it’s actually protecting the pharmaceutical companies from being sued. The act makes sure that you can’t sue them directly & you have to go through VAERS.

It is interesting you mention Reagan SIGNING it. According to the Constitution, ALL bills must originate in the House and be ratified by the Senate. The President has NO ability to make law.
The bill was sponsored by Henry Waxman, DEMOCRAT-CA, and the House and Senate were completely controlled by the democrat party at that time and for over 40 years. It wasn’t until Clinton that the Republicans took the House majority in 1994.

“…As untimely deaths spiked among the elderly in Manhattan nursing homes”
Spiked because the hateful Mayor had New Yorkers with advanced fly symptoms placed in nursing Homes, infecting and killing hundreds or more of New Yorkers.
That’s how the Commies roll, kill off the sane and church going with a multitude of lethal practices.

Just think how many ‘infants’ would have been saved had access to abortions been limited too…but that’s too racist to admit…or is that too anti-semitic…or just too PRO-LIFE?
