“Don’t vaccinate anymore.” Despair and silence after the decline in the birth rate. Can no longer be overlooked

There are more of us than a year ago, but it’s not something to cheer about. The Czech Statistical Office announced that the population of the Czech Republic increased from less than 10.83 million to 10.90 million in 2023. However, the slight increase is only due to the fact that more people immigrated to the country from abroad than left it. Last year, the Czech Republic showed a natural decrease of 21.6 thousand inhabitants. In 2023, the number of live births decreased by 10.2 thousand year-on-year and reached only 91.1 thousand. The word “only” is quite appropriate, because the generation born in 2023 was the weakest in the last 22 years, when fewer children were last born in 2001, at 91 thousand.

Looking back another year, last year’s result is even more interesting. In 2022, 101.3 thousand live births were registered in the Czech Republic, which was 10.5 thousand fewer than in the previous year, i.e. 9.4 percent less. This report was accompanied by a comment that a similar year-on-year decrease was last recorded in the mid-1990s, when between 1994 and 1995 the number of live births decreased by 9.8 percent, namely from 106.9 to 96.4 thousand newborns. This year-on-year decline was seen as a complete exception. But for the last two years, the CZSO reports an annual decrease of 9.4 percent, and between 2023 and 2022 even 10 percent.

The downward trend in total female fertility will not change

Two years in a row, there has been a year-on-year decrease of approximately ten thousand children, which is something quite extraordinary. For this reason, the question arises as to whether there could also be something quite extraordinary behind this unfavorable phenomenon. It is not difficult to remember that vaccination against covid-19 started in 2021. In May of that year alone, a quarter of the monitored population of women aged 18-39 years were vaccinated. “There are certainly more reasons why fewer and fewer children are being born. There are several premises that support the hypothesis that, among other things, vaccination against covid is behind this,” journalist Angelika Bazalová, who has long been devoted to the health effects of vaccinations from the covid years, tells ParlamentníListy.cz.

“Vaccination has been proven to cause menstrual cycle disorders in women. Pharmacovigilance systems are full of such reports. And most importantly, to decline – as we are documented in our texts – occurred quite sharply a few months after the vaccination of young women of childbearing age took off. At the same time, there is also a persistent decline in fertility. Now we have new data available and we are preparing another text in which we will prove that the downward trend in the total fertility of women will not break even in the coming months,” promises the co-author of the Mainstream projectwhose creation was motivated by finding out whether the massive inoculation of mRNA vaccines against covid left any consequences in the population.

Researchers are trying to avoid the topic of covid vaccines

At the same time, he realizes that even the downward trend in the total fertility of women in the following months will not in itself be proof that the covid vaccine is behind the drop in the number of births. “But it’s certainly a strong enough reason to investigate this hypothesis. What is striking about the whole low birth rate discussion is how – literally, hysterically – researchers try to avoid the topic. In particular, scientists from the SYRI Institute are able to mention perhaps even a magnetic storm in the Andromeda constellation rather than say the word ‘vaccine’. If the situation were not so serious, I would say that it is ridiculous,” says Angelika Bazalová, a member of the ČTK Council, for ParlamentníListy.cz.

The aforementioned SYRI institute owes its creation to the covid pandemic and is financed by EU Next Generation funds. The National Institute for Research on the Socio-Economic Impacts of Diseases and Systemic Risks, as its full name sounds, brings together 150 scientists from Masaryk University, Charles University and the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. It is supposed to collect data on social processes that accompany crisis and risk situations such as pandemics. Based on them, he formulates recommendations on how to solve problems. It is all the more astonishing how lax this institute is regarding statistical data, which show that the number of children born has dropped by ten percent for two years in a row.

Few children are a reflection of the unfavorable economic situation

Jitka Slabá from the SYRI National Institute and Charles University responded to these figures by stating that it is a reflection of the unfavorable economic situation in the state. “These days, a large proportion of children are planned, and research from the pandemic period showed that planning a child is more common among people who perceive their material situation as favorable. However, this assumption was difficult to fulfill in the shadow of last year’s high inflation,” said Jitka Slabá in a comment on the website SYRI National Institute published after statisticians announced another sharp year-on-year drop in the number of newborns.

According to the young scientist, detailed data specified by age will only provide substantial information. “Only they will show whether there has been a decline in fertility among first-born children, which would indicate a further postponement of fertility until an older age,” mentioned Jitka Slabá, adding that until now demographers believed that this indicator had already stabilized. “The second possibility is a decrease in fertility in second-borns and other children in the so-called higher order. Here, then, there is a risk that the parents will not only postpone their reproductive intention, but even completely abandon it in the finale,” added the scientist, along with a warning that this would lead to the extinction of the Czech population.

Stop recommending vaccination for women of childbearing age

The words of demographers about the complex economic situation and calls for more detailed data have long been salt in the eyes of mathematician Tomáš Fürst, who is the co-author of the article “Who is missing children?”. It highlights the fact that the number of pregnancies occurring among unvaccinated women stabilized in 2022 at approximately the values we saw for the entire population in pre-covid times, while vaccinated women showed significantly fewer pregnancies. “In simple terms, we can say that the children we are missing from January 2022 are children who, for some reason, were not born to vaccinated mothers. Unvaccinated mothers are common,” points out Tomáš Fürst from the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the Palacký University in Olomouc.

Authors of this text Tomáš Fürst, Roman Kovařík and Zuzana Krátká claim that the analyzes presented by them show in favor of the hypothesis that vaccination against covid has a causal connection with the decline in fertility of Czech women. “In a society governed by reason, this finding should open up the datasets needed to analyze this problem in detail. “Until it is discussed and determined to what extent vaccination contributed to fertility, the recommendation to vaccinate women of childbearing age against covid should be withdrawn,” they urge.
