I do not understand your point. The website you gave us shows WORSE numbers than the article you are calling bull crap.

We do have an AWFUL mortality rate and there is no good explaination as to why are numbers are closer to that of third world than other industrialized nations.

In the link below, here are the quoted infant mortality rates: Infant mortality rate: total: 6.43 deaths/1,000 live births male: 7.09 deaths/1,000 live births female: 5.74 deaths/1,000 live births (2006

est.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I may be reading this incorrectly, but shouldn't the total be 12.83 deaths/1,000 live births? If there are 7.09 male deaths/1,000 live births and 5.74 female deaths/1,000 live births, shouldn't these numbers be added together to get the total number of male and female deaths/1,000 live births? Or, do they mean that there were 7.09 male deaths/1,000 live male births and 5.74 female deaths/1,000 live female births? In this case, it might make sense to take an average. However, to me "live births" means live births, both male and female. I am not sure whether I find this confusing or just plain obfuscating!

When do they measure infant death and how many have had hepB within 12 hours of birth?

I'm just wondering if the kids die before the 12 hour hepB or after the 12 hour Hepb?
