Well…I just checked out his data comparing the Infant Mortality rates in the US vs other countries. Not only does he cherry-pick his data by choosing only countries with lower IM rates than the US, he also completely fails to explain that the US rate is worse because, ironically, we have better care. The US leads the world in bringing about “live births” in premature deliveries. In most other countries many of these births are simply written off as stillborn. In fact, there is an article from the UK making the rounds right now about a woman who gave birth a few days before the NHS cut-off point of 22 weeks and the doctors refused to try and save the baby. I guarantee that baby won’t be included in the UK infant mortality stats…
