The United States saw a 7% decline in its national childbirth rate in 2020, the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study published Monday.
The drop in the domestic crude birth rate -- or the ratio between the number of live births in a population during a given year and the total mid-year population for the same year -- mirrored similar trends in western Europe, researchers said in the study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The crude birth rate in Italy fell by 9% last year, while Spain saw an 8% drop and Portugal saw a 7% drop, the data showed.
These declines, related at least partly to the COVID-19 pandemic, are as much as 50% higher than those reported during the "Great Recession" of 2008-09 and comparable to the drops during the 1918-19 flu pandemic, according to the researchers.

This necessitates the need for immigrants, be they legal or not, and explains why the US and Europe are allowing their areas to be inundated in this manner.
They need people to do low-end jobs teenagers would normally do.
We've also devalued honest work like grass cutting, fast food, as somehow beneath us.
We're cutting our own throats.
How many were spontaneous abortions after receiving the covid vax?
“Crude Birth Rates”. That’s an intersting term. Nothing biased about that phrasing at all!
Why of course. However, our Afghan population continues to increase exponentially.
All part of the greater diabolical plan that’s been in place for 40 plus years.

Prayers for no vax-babies
Ah, Latin. I remember taking Latin.
I’d like to see the birth rates of vaxxed vs unvaxxed. Because usually when people are stuck at home the birth rate spikes.
Demographics are destiny
(and that is a fact no matter how much civnatcucks scream that it isn’t)
I don’t get it. Pregnancy normally takes 9 months. The world as we know it changed in mid March 2020 due to restrictions imposed on us due to the virus. The vast majority of babies born in 2020 were conceived in 2019 before all of this happened. So most decisions made by people not to have babies were made before the virus hit and were not made as a reaction to the virus.
Birth records for the whole year of 2021 would definitely reflect decisions people may have made due to the virus. That data will tell a story.
