The numbers changed only a little from 2020 to 2024. There was a small rise from 2021 to 2022, but no big increase after that. Overall, infant death rates have stayed fairly stable.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cMississippi just declared a public health emergency over rising infant deaths.\u201d<br \/>\nThis is true. In August 2025, Mississippi declared an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/msdh.ms.gov\/msdhsite\/index.cfm\/23%2C30305%2C341%2Chtml?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">emergency<\/a>\u00a0because infant deaths had gone up. The state reported a rate of 9.7 deaths per 1,000 births in 2024, which is the highest in over 10 years.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cMississippi linked this to mRNA vaccine effects passed to babies.\u201d<br \/>\nThis is not true. Mississippi\u2019s report\u00a0<strong>does not\u00a0<\/strong>mention vaccines or mRNA. It says the main causes are birth defects, babies being born too early or too small, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and other health issues. The state is focusing on better care for mothers and babies.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cInfant death rates had been going down for 30 years but suddenly reversed after 2021 and keep rising.\u201d<br \/>\nThis is false. Infant death rates have mostly gone down since the 1990s. There was a small increase from 2021 to 2022, but rates did not keep rising after that. They stayed about the same in 2023 and 2024.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe causes of infant deaths match those seen in vaccinated adults.\u201d<br \/>\nThere is no evidence for this. The main causes of infant deaths are things like birth defects, early birth, low weight, SIDS, injuries, and problems during pregnancy. These are common causes and are not linked to vaccines.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cA study proved that mRNA from vaccines passes to babies and causes deaths.\u201d<br \/>\nThis is not proven. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-022-32188-1.pdf\">study<\/a>\u00a0mentioned was small and looked only at placental tissue, not overall death rates. The researchers said they\u00a0<strong>did not<\/strong>\u00a0find a clear link to health outcomes. Other studies have mixed results, but none show that vaccines cause infant deaths.<\/li>\n<li>What larger studies show about vaccination during pregnancy<br \/>\nLarge studies do not show that vaccines cause harm to babies. One large\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamapediatrics\/fullarticle\/2810937\">study<\/a>\u00a0found no increase in health problems in newborns and even showed\u00a0<strong>lower risk<\/strong>\u00a0for some serious issues.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row source=&#8221;&#8221; text=&#8221;Clinical Trials&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Abril%20Fatface%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; link=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1708910874436{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;The Claim:&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]In a\u00a0video\u00a0online, the McCullough Foundation claims that vaccines given&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","jtf_topic_subjects":[199,301,305,340,188,296,218],"class_list":["post-15749","jtf_topics","type-jtf_topics","status-publish","hentry","jtf_topic_subjects-childhood-vaccines","jtf_topic_subjects-covid","jtf_topic_subjects-infants","jtf_topic_subjects-mccullough-foundation","jtf_topic_subjects-mrna-vaccines","jtf_topic_subjects-peter-mccullough","jtf_topic_subjects-vaccine-safety","entry","no-media"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics\/15749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/jtf_topics"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics\/15749\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15750,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topics\/15749\/revisions\/15750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"jtf_topic_subjects","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicesforvaccines.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jtf_topic_subjects?post=15749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
