The State of Mississippi has declared a “public health emergency” after recent data show that the infant mortality rate in the State is now the highest it has been in 10 years.

From CBS News:

Mississippi declares public health emergency over rising infant deaths

Mississippi health officials have declared a public health emergency after releasing data showing the state’s infant mortality rate has risen to its highest level in more than a decade.

In Mississippi, 9.7 infants died for every 1,000 live births in 2024, nearly double the most recent national average of 5.6 deaths per 1,000, according to the state Department of Health. Since 2014, more than 3,500 Mississippi infants have died before their first birthday.

As the CBS article notes, this rise in infant deaths is not limited to the State of Mississippi, but is happening all over the country, and it is primarily happening with Black infants.

Infant mortality rate a nationwide concern

Even in cities with strong healthcare systems, such as Boston, Black infants continue to die at far higher rates than their White peers.

In Boston, the city’s most recent report showed Black infants dying at more than twice the rate of the overall population and triple the rate of White infants, despite the city’s overall infant mortality rate falling below the national average. (Source.)

What do public health “authorities” believe is the cause of this increase in infant deaths among Black children?

The leading causes of infant death in Mississippi include congenital malformations, premature birth, low birthweight, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. (SIDS)

Disparities remain stark — Black infants in Mississippi are more than twice as likely as White infants to die before their first birthday, and recent state data show those racial gaps have widened.

Despite growing concerns, declaring a public health emergency for infant mortality is unusual.

“This is a novel and necessary step,” said Dr. Michael Warren, Chief Medical and Health Officer at March of Dimes. “It elevates infant mortality to the level of urgent crisis response, which it truly is.” (Source.)

“Sudden Infant Death Syndrome” or “SIDS” is just the code name the medical system uses for mostly infant vaccine deaths, since they obviously will never blame infant mortality on vaccines.

Here at Health Impact News, we have covered the SIDS issue for years, showing how it is a massive cover-up for infant deaths caused by the CDC Childhood Vaccination schedule, such as this study we published in 2018 by Dr. Viera Scheibner:

What Are The Real Causes of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)? Why Are Vaccines Excluded?

Here is another report published in 2014 by Neil Z. Miller explaining that the CDC does not even have a classification of death due to vaccines:

CDC Lists 131 Causes of Death For A Child but Omits Vaccines

While it is good that the infant mortality rate in the U.S. is finally getting some coverage in the Corporate News media, their “solutions” are obviously funded by their advertisers in Big Pharma, as they recommend the very things that have caused the problem of SIDS in the U.S.: more medical services to supply more vaccines and drugs.

To support their claims, they point out that medical care in the rural south is not as prevalent as in more affluent areas of the U.S.

But when it comes to sticking needles into the tiny bodies of infants, there are no shortages anywhere in the U.S., as it can be done in any local drug store on the corner of every town and city in the U.S., as well as in clinics right in the public schools.

Even churches now can function as vaccine clinics, as we saw during COVID.

Ethnic Genocide Against African Americans through Vaccines

It has been known for over 2 decades now, including with top scientists at the CDC, that vaccines, and in particular infant vaccines, cause far more damage to Black people than they do to the rest of the population in the United States.

In 2014, Dr. William Thompson of the CDC, who was one of three top researchers at the CDC who published a study in 2004 that was supposed to “prove” that vaccines do not cause autism, admitted to Dr. Brian Hooker that they committed fraud and withheld some data from that study that showed black boys were more susceptible to autism after receiving the MMR vaccines, than non-Black children.

Dr. William Thompson hired a whistleblower attorney after Brian Hooker and Dr. Andrew Wakefield went public with this information.

It was one of the biggest scandals ever reported on in the CDC, but only myself and a handful of other alternative media sites covered this story back in 2014.

Dr. Thompson stated that he would only testify before Congress by subpoena, but nobody in the pharma-controlled Congress was willing to take such action, and eventually the story just faded away.

Here is the video report produced by Dr. Andrew Wakefield back in 2014. I doubt that you will find it anymore on YouTube. It is less than 10 minutes long, and this is from our Odysee channel.

In 2017, when we were seemingly publishing horror stories about how the Gardasil HPV vaccine was destroying the lives of so many young women every week, we published a study that showed the strains of HPV that Gardasil allegedly vaccinated against, were strains that Black women never contracted to begin with, making the HPV vaccine irrelevant for Black women.

But as far as I know, Black women are still being vaccinated with the HPV vaccine, and lives are still being destroyed. See:

All of this information about how vaccines cripple and kill African Americans at a much higher rate than the rest of the population, has been known now for many years!

But has the U.S. Government and its health agencies done anything about it?

No, of course not, as it would severely put a dent into vaccine sales, so they just bury and cover-up this information.

So when infant mortality rates increase, especially among Black children as they are today post the mass public COVID vaccine campaigns under Operation Warp Speed, they fail to even consider that vaccines are playing any role in infant mortality rates, where these infant mortality rates are now declared a “public health emergency” today.

Many in the African American communities, however, are fully aware of this data, which is probably the main reason that when COVID-19 vaccines were mandated in large cities like New York, African Americans were the lowest percentage of any ethnic group to comply with such mandates.

Kyrie Irving, a Black man who is a professional NBA basketball star, was playing for a New York team during COVID, and was very public about his refusal to receive a COVID “vaccine”, even when it meant losing millions of dollars on his contract renewal, and being able to play home games in NYC at that time.

He apparently valued standing up for the Black communities more than the money he was making from the NBA. See:

There is, however, at least one person today in the U.S. Government who is fully aware of this attempt at African American genocide by vaccines and could actually bring this subject to the public and actually do something about it, and it is the current head of HHS, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Mr. Kennedy has been aware of the whistleblower Dr. William Thompson and his confessions about how the CDC covered up evidence that the MMR vaccine was harming Black children more than the rest of the population for years now.

In 2021 Mr. Kennedy helped produce a documentary titled:

Medical Racism: The New Apartheid

There is a transcript of the film published on CHD.

Hi, I’m Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And I’m here to introduce a film called “Medical Racism : The New Apartheid,” and my group the Children’s Health Defense made it in conjunction with a number of civil rights groups and groups that advocate for the rights and the condition and the health of African-Americans. And it’s important that you watch this film because we all need to take responsibility for our own healthcare. And you cannot do that unless you have the information.

However, once Mr. Kennedy was approved as the Secretary of HHS, he completely changed his view on the MMR vaccine, and now recommends that all children receive this deadly vaccine, which affects Blacks more than non-Blacks.

From “Defending” Children’s Health to Destroying It: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Now Recommends MMR Vaccine After Years of Condemning It

I fully agree with Mr. Kennedy’s statement from 2021: “We all need to take responsibility for our own healthcare. And you cannot do that unless you have the information.”

That means we now need to stop listening to Mr. Kennedy himself, and the health agencies he oversees such as the CDC, because since Kennedy has taken office in D.C., I have heard nothing from him about this “medical racism and apartheid” that allegedly was so important to him in 2021 that he helped produce a film about it.
