In 2020 when we were locked down at least through June, Nicole DeGraf, the former executive director of Oregonians for Medical Freedom, and myself, looked at the infant deaths under the age of 1 through the first six months of that year. All medical procedures, including well baby visits were cancelled through the end of June. The number of infant deaths during that period of time dropped to 42% of the ten year annual average of infant deaths in the state.
