Public Health Scotland demonstrated a significant increase in neonatal deaths (in the first month of life) in 2021 but refused to investigate whether it was related to the vaccine because such an analysis “whilst being uninformative for public health decision making, had the potential to be used to harm vaccine confidence”.
One particular Scotsman, who tweets here and has this Substack, has persevered with FOI requests and has revealed alarming signals that Public Health Scotland chose to ignore. There was a clear rise in neonatal deaths amounting to an extra 35 dead babies which coincided exactly with when pregnant women were vaccinated.
During the vaccination period (March 2021 to May 2022) Scotland had 60,169 births and based on historic rates would have expected 128 babies to die in the neonatal period, but 163 did.
There have also been too many post-neonatal deaths (deaths in first year of life) and those have not yet settled down. Over that period (from July 2021 onwards) there were 94,501 births. Based on historic rates, 101 deaths post natal deaths would be expected, but 131 were recorded, an excess of 30 babies dying.
Including both neonatal and postnatal deaths there have been 65 additional deaths. Over the period of interest there were 45,098 doses of Covid vaccine given. If the extra deaths were all due to the Covid vaccines that would equate to a risk of one death for every 690 doses administered.
Despite numerous FOI requests and involvement of the Information Commissioner’s Office, data on the vaccine status of the mothers of these dead babies have not been forthcoming.
It is possible to cross check the data that have been made available with data from other sources. National Records of Scotland publishes deaths by registration date. This can be subject to delays but it at least allows a ball park check. The NRS data show the number of deaths at age 0. Combining those with birth data gives a baseline level of baby deaths which can be compared to the level of deaths in the post vaccine period. The number of birth registrations were impacted by lockdown so that period has been excluded from the analysis. Pre-vaccination, the mortality was 0.324% and after vaccines it was 0.376%, which amounts to an extra 28 deaths a year or a baby dying every fortnight (see figure 2). The NRS aged-standardised mortality rate data for deaths at age 0 shows a rise from 316 per 100,000 to 376. For Scotland’s around 50,000 births a year that works out at 30 extra deaths per year – again in line with the FOI data on neonatal deaths (see figure 3).
Public Health Scotland has conveniently decided to stop publishing data on the impacts of Covid. The cancer data stopped abruptly in 2022 and the neonatal death data showed another rise in July 2023.
In England the data are less transparent. It is, however, possible to compare death registrations in those aged 0 with birth data from here and here. The mortality rate per birth in the first year of life has risen by 27% by this measure.
Many of the people whose deaths were attributed to Covid had a lower life expectancy than their peers of the same age. However, if we generously assume they had an average life expectancy then for Scotland there were 13,040 years of life lost to Covid. The deaths of these 65 babies amounts to more than 5,200 years of life lost and the harm is ongoing.

Ah yes ———-Don’t look into something incase it interferes with public policy. I recall an article in the Herald about the Hydrogen project going on in the town of Buckhaven, Fife Scotland, where residents have volunteered to be the first in the world to have hydrogen heating their house instead of their current gas central heating. I believe they were offered free boilers etc. —-The article reported that the company (or companies) who were fitting all of this were not prepared to release safety data. They said they would not do this because it could undermine confidence in the project —————YOU WHAT?
The Hindenburg comes to mind.
In other news, “We are not investigating Salmonella outbreaks because it might undermine confidence in food hygiene.”
‘We refuse to investige deaths and illnesses from electro magnetism and radiation, given it might undermine public confidence in electricity, electrification of buildings and railways, 5G, device radiation….’
Residents and local electricians are saying the consumer units we installed across our housing estates are causing all those house fires round here that keep killing people, but you’ve got to understand that if we stopped installing them and investigated the problem, it would just make people nervous about having them installed, we’d get blamed for fires that were obviously caused by natural causes and our bosses would lose a lot of money.
Surely the fires are caused by the Climate Emergency and the forest fires in Greece? In addition, the Polar Bears are threatened with extinction anytime soon and the fact there are more of them than ever is proof that we are too late. And then there are the oceans that have turned to boiling acid and they are rapidly rising at an accelerated and unprecedented rate. All of these things are driving the house fires and the migrants.
“…but refused to investigate whether it was related to the vaccine because such an analysis “whilst being uninformative for public health decision making,….”

Basically an admission that they don’t make INFORMED decision on public health or vaccination.
There cannot be a better instruction to INFORM YOURSELF.
They appear to be self defensive, and not admitting any errors made by themselves.
They will continue to repeat “there’s no evidence of…”
They’re happy to use junk science to tell us why masks / lockdowns are beneficial, but not willing to risk self-incrimination by actually doing their jobs
A bit like being arrested for something, and your solicitor might advise you to keep quiet and let them prove it. So perhaps they know they’re guilty, or at least “not proven” (in Scotland).
This is, of course, concerning jabs given to pregnant women rather than jabs given to children. A large increase in neonatal deaths and infant deaths – and what about the effect on miscarriage?
PHS: “Quick find a nurse we can throw under the bus”
We finally have a provisional date for the release of the annual ’cause of death’ data for England and Wales by the ONS – Nomisweb say 15 December 2023 for the 2022 data.
Since 2018 data were released in July or August for the preceding year’s mortality.
I wonder why they’re slow to release the data for 2022? Something bad I reckon.
Does anyone know if NRS have released this data for Scotland?
Deleted.
Ah, baby’s smaby’s, it’s safe and effective don’t you know?
” had the potential to be used to harm vaccine confidence”. Now there’s a logical fallacy!
