Original Note:
The claim of a 1101% increase in excess deaths among children aged 0-14 in Europe is highly misleading and taken out of context: https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/53765/has-there-been-a-1101-increase-in-excess-deaths-among-children-aged-0-14-across https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/01/22/excess-deaths-decreased-in-europe-despite-health-system-challenges https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11010589/ https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Excess_mortality_statistics https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-02/fact-check-excess-deaths-europe-not-vaccines/101394264 While it's true that birthrates have declined in many parts of the world, the statement that “nobody knows why” is false: https://ourworldindata.org/un-population-2024-revision https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/nchs_press_releases/2024/20240525.htm https://theweek.com/health/declining-birth-rates-concerns https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-58358-3
