Evidence points to two risks that affected children – women who received COVID vaccines during pregnancy and effects passed down through generations from previously vaccinated mothers even years after the initial rollout. The sustained shift of increased mortality began precisely with the rollout of mRNA vaccination among people of childbearing age.

A new analysis by The Ethical Skeptic of CDC/NCHS death certificate data using Deviation from Trend (DFT) analysis reveals a disturbing development: a sharp, sustained rise in infant and child mortality among those who neither had COVID-19 nor received the vaccine, but whose parents were previously exposed to mRNA injections.

The evidence points to two risks—teratogenic effects during pregnancy and transgenerational epigenetic effects passed through germline biology. Together, they raise historic concerns about the long-term impact of synthetic mRNA technology.

Here's what he found:

Teratogenic Risk – A Break in a 30-Year Trend

For nearly three decades, infant mortality in the U.S. steadily declined thanks to improvements in maternal and neonatal care. That pattern abruptly shifted beginning in 2021.

Figure 1 (Infant, Neonatal, and Postneonatal Mortality, NVSS 1995–2023) shows a clear break from the long-standing downward trend.

Instead of continuing to fall, neonatal and postneonatal mortality curves flatten and then turn upward.

This reversal coincides with the mass vaccination of expectant and future mothers in early 2021, suggesting a teratogenic influence.

The break is not subtle: it marks a distinct departure from a 30-year legacy of progress.
