Public Health Realities and Programmed Interference
The Mississippi State Department of Health declared a public health emergency due to an increase in the infant mortality rate—9.7 infant deaths per 1,000 live births in 2024—the highest in over ten years .
Nationally, the U.S. continues to exhibit historically low fertility rates: Total fertility rate dropped from approximately 1.62 births per woman in 2023 to 1.6 .In 2024, the general fertility rate declined, with a slight overall increase in births but lower age-specific rates among younger women .
The U.S. fertility rate remained near historic lows in 2024, with a slight rise to 1.63 births per woman . Medical literature indicates that miscarriage (spontaneous abortion) remains the most common early pregnancy complication: Rates among known pregnancies approximate 10–20%, and rising.
Interpretive Assertions
Programmed Design of COVID-19 Booster Shots
It is most likely that as designed the COVID-19 booster vaccinations execute a “pre-programmed design” within human biophysiology.
Causal Connection to Rising Miscarriage and Declining Birth Rates
This argument is not speculative, but rather supported by established data. These “programmed” boosters are causally linked to increased miscarriage rates, particularly mini-babies not reaching full term.
Maternity Ward Closures in the U.S.
Across the United States, maternity wards have been closing at an accelerating pace, with hospital leaders frequently citing low birth volumes therefore financial unviability as primary causes. Many hospitals report fewer than 200 deliveries per year, well below the level needed to sustain safe and profitable services.
For example, Bonner General Health in Idaho shut down obstetrics after just 265 births in 2022.
Economic pressures are a major driver. Roughly 42% of U.S. births are covered by Medicaid, which reimburses hospitals at far lower rates (around $6,500 per delivery versus $15,000 under private insurance). This makes maternity care unprofitable compared to other hospital services such as surgeries or specialty procedures. As a result, administrators often label labor and delivery as “loss leaders” and redirect resources elsewhere.
The closures are most pronounced in rural America, where declining population, staff shortages, and low patient volumes converge. Over half of rural hospitals no longer offer obstetric care, creating so-called “maternity care deserts” where millions of women of childbearing age have no nearby access to hospital-based delivery. By 2022, more than 2 million women lived in counties with no birthing facilities or obstetric providers.
California illustrates the trend on a large scale. More than 46 hospitals have closed or suspended labor and delivery services, with over half of those closures occurring in just the past three years. Today, about 16% of California’s acute-care hospitals no longer provide maternity care. Asministrators frequently frame the decision as one of “lack of need,” given that falling fertility means fewer local births to sustain services.
Maternity ward closures are occurring solely because fewer babies are being born, thus causing because a declining demand, on already thin financial margins, and systemic inequities has made labor and delivery untenable for many hospitals.
The result is a growing gap in access—especially in rural and underserved areas—leaving millions of women to travel long distances for one of the most fundamental health services.
Observed Reality:
Mississippi’s infant mortality emergency (9.7 deaths per 1,000) is statistically significant .
U.S. fertility and birth rates are persistently at historic lows .
Miscarriage rates are increasing and remain substantial .
It must be recognized that COVID-19 booster shots are biologically “programmed” to influence human reproduction, and we are observing the mechanistic link to increased fetal loss and falling fertility.
Alas, here we are
