Alex Berenson’s post today about birth rates in Singapore reminded me that I hadn’t checked in on the UKHSA data on vaccines and pregnancies in awhile. This was an area I explored ~8 months ago: I had several follow up posts & also posts where I showed that the data included in their reports was very odd & either signaled incompetence on their part, or was a possible reason for concern:
Don't know how I missed that. Certainly worth more investigation. I would say that perhaps the 2022 numbers are not complete, but how hard is it to count births?
The annual timing of each state's peak in number of births correlates with its latitude. More northern regions see a birth peak in June or July while more southern areas have more births in October or November. The pattern holds even as the overall birth rate varies in different states.

At this point they are just going to produce any number they want and call it a day. This is troubling when we stop being able to trust counting births, deaths or votes.
The thing that stands out to me most is why in the heck are unvaccinated women having so many more pregnancies than unvaccinated women??!!! Especially if they supposedly make up a smaller percentage of the total population.
The numbers basically flipped in October 2021. Very few women of childbearing age were vaccinated in 2021 Q1, they started ramping up in Q2 and by Q3/Q4 vast majority were vaccinated.
Don’t the ONS figures in your table also show an overall drop in birth rate for 2022?
Every month of 2021 has >40k deliveries, yet every month of 2022 so far is <40k, some months less by a very large amount?

Thank you all your effort on this front. You are doing important analysis.

Ah, ok thank you.
