The age of women giving birth climbed as infant death rates declined in the United States between 2000 and 2017, a new CDC report says. But Black infants still have over twice the risk of dying as White infants, experts point out.

The age of women giving birth climbed as infant death rates declined in the United States between 2000 and 2017, according to a new report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Picky eating linked to demanding parents who limit foods, study saysBut the welcome news was tempered by the fact that Black infants still have over twice the risk of dying as White infants, experts pointed out.Infant mortality rates fell for all age groups, and shifts in the age of women giving birth accounted for about one-third of the decline from 2000 through 2017, according to the report, published in the CDC's National Vital Statistics Reports on Thursday.

"However, that progress disproportionately positively impacts non-Hispanic White women," he added."And what we're seeing is the shift that happens in aging is proportionately more likely to impact negatively Black women unfortunately. This is the importance of this data."The new report has some limitations, including that the findings are dependent on what information has been reported to the CDC and captured in the data."What comes in goes out.

That’s why Planned Parenthooh was started to get rid of black infants and the black adults still support them just like they still support the Democrats who after the election will move the blacks back to the democrat plantation !

Little baby white police officers must be murdering them.

The abortion rate of black babies is nearly 5x that of white babies......that's blacks killing blacks......

Prrophet Mohammed pbuh said, 1400 hundred years ago that ' There is no supreem white skin over black skin or Black skin over white skin... except cognizant of God.

what about Asian, Mexican, Indian, or polka dot striped babies? stop!

Quit taking drugs during pregnancy.

It’s not really wise to state this without any statistics of anything.

America values color-coding so much!!! I feel that the heading should have been worded better, but it's a fact! and it's sad... my gosh. And I know this race and color issue won't go away faster than it's needed. :(

I totally disagree... and I will tell you why.. it's all in whose mating with who... if a young lady or woman chooses to mate with a young man not knowing if he has a crack cocaine addiction or alcoholic problem and taking heavy medication.. okay!.. Good luck with conception🕊💗

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ABORTION kills more black people than HIV, homicide, diabetes, accident, cancer, and heart disease … combined.

Ban hangers

I'd say so, at least 2X, judging by how many black babies are murdered by PP....

I wonder what the correlation between the black infant mortality rate and the black fatherless rate is, or if there even is one. Curious topic!

By abortion?

That is why you should not be addicted to crack.

I feel like this could’ve been worded better

Especially with all the abortion clinics strategically placed in black areas!

Why didn't CNN cover Biden's speech today?

Death is racist. Defund the Death!

Are you seriously comparing deaths in baby’s between white and black like wtf is wrong with cnn

LIES Racial media will deliberately lie on Black Americans so they won't look bad. Whites know they have weak ass genes and immune systems. RacialMedia Disinformation Propaganda WhiteMedia ImWhyteAndISaySo Deciet TrickBag

Yet jimacostalot accused the president of exploding toddlers. What do you have to say jimacostalot donlemon

That’s Trump’s fault killing black babies but don’t worry Biden will save black lives

What experts? Racist experts? CNN is racist. All they report on is racial division.

Because of abortion, probably. It kills blacks like crazy

👍👍👍

Something else to riot about 😌

Ya - especially because of PlannedParenthood

Meaning?

Racebaiting article , guess they don’t have anything to report !

So don't have black infants then, got it thanks

CDC says COVID-19 cases in U.S. may be 10 times higher than reportedUPDATE: 'Our best estimate right now is that for every case that's reported, there actually are 10 other infections,' CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield said Thursday. For every confirmed case of COVID-19, 10 more people had antibodies, Redfield said. This is actually a good thing. More people develop antibodies the less it will spread. 😳 That would mean that the mortality rate is 10x lower than we thought too.
