Australia’s birth rate declined from 2022 to 2024, with projections indicating a stabilization around 2026. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the total fertility rate (average births per woman) dropped to 1.63 in 2022, fell to 1.499 in 2023, and hit a record low of 1.481 in 2024.
This declining birth rate coincides with the rollout of Covid mRNA gene-altering vaccines across the country.
West Australian Professor Ian Brighthope has made a strong call for Covid vaccines to be removed from sale and for injections to halt immediately.
“I want the COVID-19 vaccine programme brought to an end. I am calling for the complete withdrawal of these products and an independent public investigation with the power to compel evidence, examine decisions and establish responsibility,” Professor Brighthope said.
“After more than four decades in nutritional and environmental medicine, my position is uncompromising: the public deserves access to the evidence behind every assurance made in its name.
“No manufacturer, minister, regulator or medical institution should be permitted to settle questions about its own conduct behind closed doors. Public confidence must be earned through disclosure, scrutiny and accountability.
“Release the contracts. Release the underlying trial data. Release the safety assessments, manufacturing records and communications concerning adverse events. Explain what was known, when it was known, and what action followed.
“An assurance is not a substitute for an answer.
“I want an independent assessment of cancer risk, reproductive toxicity, pregnancy outcomes and possible long-term effects, with access to the underlying evidence and freedom to publish its conclusions. That assessment must examine individual products and investigate whether any demonstrated risks extend across the platform.”

US biogeochemist Dr Denis Rancourt: US and Canadian mortality data show peripartum women, children dying in lockstep with the vaccine rollout — and the agencies that own both datasets refuse to merge them.
Worldwide trend from Dr Peter McCullogh, McCullough Foundation
- Global fertility fell from roughly 3.3 children per woman in 1990 to about 2.25 by 2024 — a decline near 32%.
- More than half the world’s countries are now below the ~2.1 replacement threshold.
- U.S. fertility dropped from about 2.12 in 2007 to 1.6 by 2024 (roughly 25%), with births falling another ~1% in 2025 to about 3.6 million.
- The trend spans South Korea, Europe, Thailand, Mexico, and Latin America.
Dr McCullough cited US health Secretary Bobby Kennedy on reproductive health:
- Teenage boys with roughly half the testosterone and sperm counts of men in their 60s
- Girls entering puberty years earlier than in prior generations
The segment notes the fertility treatment industry generating an estimated $5.8 billion in 2023, with a single IVF round costing $15,000–$25,000.
Factors examined include intensifying childhood obesity, unhealthy diets, lack of exercise, environmental toxins, and endocrine/hormonal disruptors. The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in an additional threat to both male and female fecundity.

Maternal Mortality (US)
- CDC issued an advisory on August 11, 2021 directing vaccination of pregnant women in any trimester — shown as the red dashed line on the slide
- In “poor states” (12%+ poverty threshold), maternal mortality shot up immediately after that date — a roughly threefold increase on a per-live-birth basis
- A second peak coincided with the additional-dose and booster rollout
- Rancourt: “In my humble opinion, that cannot be a coincidence”
McCullough adds context: pregnant women were excluded from the randomized trials; roughly 3,000 pregnant American women — largely nurses — were vaccinated in the first week of the rollout, before mandates existed. ACOG still recommends vaccination at any point in pregnancy as of 2026. McCullough said peak vaccination rates for pregnant women hit 60% by the end of 2021
Nine months after the August 2021 advisory — i.e., the first-trimester cohort coming to term — a stepwise increase in infant mortality appears in both male and female infants
The increase corresponds to roughly 4,000 excess infant deaths in the US versus the historic trend
All-cause infant deaths and ICD-10 P00–P96 deaths agree completely — the two curves overlap
Canada: same pattern following its own May 28, 2021 directive; ~200 excess infant deaths
Canada also saw ~27,000 excess induced abortions after the vaccination push — Rancourt speculates fear of fetal defects may have driven this
