While infant death rates vary widely from month to month the increase was larger than expected from chance alone.
Public Health Scotland (PHS) and other agencies are now looking into whether the Covid pandemic or other factors could be behind the increase.
Figures for the number of stillborn babies also increased in September.
Herald Scotland reports: Control and warning limits are designed to flag up to public health teams when neonatal, stillbirth or other infant deaths are occurring at unexpectedly high or low levels which may not be due to chance.
Concerns have previously been raised about the potential impact of Covid on maternity services and maternal wellbeing, but it is the first time since the pandemic began that neonatal deaths have been so abnormally above average.
Although the rate fluctuates month to month, the figure for September – at 4.9 per 1000 live births – is on a par with levels that were last typically seen in the late 1980s.
Public Health Scotland (PHS), which is one of the bodies currently investigating the spike, said the fact that the upper control limit has been exceeded “indicates there is a higher likelihood that there are factors beyond random variation that may have contributed to the number of deaths that occurred”.
PHS said it is working with the Scottish National Neonatal Network, the Maternity and Children Quality Improvement Collaborative and the Scottish Government “to understand any possible contributing factors to the most recent infant mortality patterns, and to incorporate findings into existing prevention and improvement work”.

Wow. Be careful you might get flag with being a “misinformation ” criminal by the Vax mafia. No there’s no correlation, just your hate of vaxinations. Move along. Hail to the mandates. All rise please.

Investigation which means cover up.

They’re not really investigating. This is a stall tactic. To make it look like they’re looking into it.
Klaus Schwab (world emperor) is going to get to the BOTTOM OF THIS!!!!!
when a doctors license depend on him not knowing something////
Or worse, knowing something, being complicit with malicious garbage, but due to being souled out and insecure…not saying anything?
Like some virologists?
Right…They really need a fake BS investigation….
We know what causes sudden infant death syndrome now-& you’ll never change our minds. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7c0e5718014ecdc76794c9482ef2940251a10e0e9f5a68ea17d26a8beb2359b5.jpg
If someone walked into a hospital with an arrow stuck in their head, complaining about a headache, they would launch an investigation.
Its NOT the vaxx… Its “unknown causes” or the doc will lose his med license and all funding https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/89f9a3f9113b54c1e54dff5e89b3f42f342a9f4824713d1b0659128d89452168.jpg
