What Does the Latest Data Reveal About Postpartum Deaths?

The featured study, published in JAMA Network Open, analyzed pregnancy-related deaths in the United States from 2018 to 2022 using national birth and death certificate data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Unlike many previous studies, it also examined “late maternal deaths,” which are deaths from pregnancy-related causes that occur more than 42 days and up to one year after delivery.3

• Maternal deaths increased sharply in just five years — {Extraneous Deleted}.

• Where a woman lives made a major difference — {Extraneous Deleted}

• Disparities by race and ethnicity were equally striking — {Extraneous Deleted}

• One-third of all pregnancy-related deaths occurred after six weeks — {Extraneous Deleted}

• Postpartum care often ends too early — {Extraneous Deleted}

The researchers emphasized that identifying and addressing the causes of late maternal death is essential to lowering pregnancy-related mortality in the U.S. “We cannot take our eyes off of maternal health right now,” said Dr. Rose Molina, an OB-GYN at Harvard Medical School and co-author of the study. “If anything, we need to not just maintain focus, but actually increase investment in maternal health.”4

Seems like the Medical Establishment has taken their collective eyes “off the ball”!

Moms need a longer recovery period?

I like the advice to track your own symptoms or data.  Sounds like a good job for Dad’s or Grandparents to be the “Patient Advocate” in this case for the new mom and the offspring.

Individual responsibility is a little L libertarian “value”.  Don’t depend on the doctors, physician assistants, nurses, or their staffs to be the only ones watching out for you and yours.

When I read the sad stories of bad things happening resulting from postpartum depression and wonder where was all of mom’s “help”?

Sigh!

RANT: TWITTER is blocking stuff about Covid 19

Fisetin has been shown to reduce the burden of COVID-19 in the lab and an animal model with significant results; researchers are now testing it in skilled nursing facility Fisetin is a flavonoid/need to eat 37 strawberries day

*** end quote ***

I follow “Nutrition Facts dot org” for their plant-based evidence-based diet information.  I saw an article from Mercola about a strawberries being tested in a Covid 19 study.  Since this would be right up Dr. Greger’s alley, I went to tweet it to @nutrition_facts.

Bang!  It was blocked. 

They are blocking anything from Dr. Mercola’s site. 

BUT by the subtly use of a space in the link, I was about to bypass their block. 

Note this is calling one Doctor’s observation to another Doctor’s attention.  No one was offering advice or an opinion. No one was asserting that this was a cure all.

(Personally I like strawberries and could easily enjoy 37 per day. Any Covid benefit would be a good excuse.  And, as far as I know, there are no harmful side effect from overdosing on strawberries. Laugh!)

That’s why this whole kerfuffle is so DUMB!

Leave people alone to follow what they perceive as their own best interest.  We are not sheep to be lead by a Judas goat like Twitter.

TINFOILHAT: The only reason for a vaccine passport is a control-related one

Monday, May 17, 2021

The Rise of Utilitarian Extremism, and How to Recognize It
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Proof of vaccination requirements for travel are rare, and limited to travel to certain destinations where the risk of contracting a disease and bringing it back to a population with nonexistent immunity against it is high
  • The U.S. government’s job is to protect the Constitutional rights of all Americans. Allowing or encouraging businesses to create a two-tier society where unvaccinated people are barred from participating in civic society is unconstitutional
  • Proof of vaccination against COVID-19 will not ensure safety. It won’t even promote it, as the so-called vaccines are designed to merely reduce symptoms of the infection
  • Utilitarianism, which is now being increasingly promoted, is a discredited pseudo-ethic that has repeatedly been used to justify horrific human rights abuses. It is based on a mathematical equation that some individuals can be sacrificed for the greater good of the majority
  • Utilitarianism appears to be at work already. The European Union’s vaccine injury reporting system had logged 330,218 adverse event reports, including 7,766 deaths, as of April 17, 2021, and the U.S. reporting system had logged 118,902 adverse event reports as of April 23, including 3,544 deaths and 12,618 serious injuries, yet all of these injuries and deaths are simply ignored and people are told to get the shot, no matter what

I’m skeptical of the motivations of all the celebrities, politicians, and bureaucrats who are pushing the “WuFlu narrative” and insisting that everyone get a “vaccination”.

(What they are push is NOT a vaccine as it has always been defined. This is genetic engineering relabeled.)

Remember EPA Christie Whitman: “Ground Zero Air Is Safe”?
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/sep/10/epa-head-wrong-911-air-safe-new-york-christine-todd-whitman

Remember Thalidomide?

Remember the human experiments — Prison Inmates as Test Subjects, Electroshock Therapy on Children, Tuskegee Syphilis Study, Syphilis Study?

The “elite” are not at all reluctant to use “We, The Sheeple” as guinea pigs for their “wise and benevolent” theories.

Argh!

Nancy Regan was right — “Just say no”.
