    From the article you linked

    it also provides a worrying forecast of what could happen if the situation is prolonged

    Do you understand what a forecast is?

    On the other hand, “mortality among children aged under one year old was 8.4 in 2022 – one of the lowest values in recorded history,” said the observatory. “However, it has remained stagnant at this value over the last few years, between 2018 and 2022.”

    Your claim is unsubstantiated but plausible.

    There is as yet no evidence of increased child mortality (yet) and seeking to paint those you disagree with as child killing monsters and ignoring the longer term benefits of a stronger economy, reduced poverty and by your own claims, reduced child mortality is naive at best.

    Long term fixing the Argentinian economy would result in better quality of life and reduced child mortality.

    Allowing high inflation to continue would prevent that progress and long term result in more dead children.

      Okay, you’re clearly not here in good faith.

      The article literally says it has increased. So yes there has been an increase. They just don’t have newer figures because the government isn’t collecting them any more. Why do you think that is?

      More children are dying now than before. That’s not a forecast, the article states that very clearly.

      I understand that you really like libertarianism and that you don’t want kids to die. Libertarianism is causing kids to die. That’s just reality. You didn’t even accept the realty- the reality all over the world- that increased poverty leads to increased death. Again, that’s just simple reality. The more impoverished people there are, the more early deaths. Especially children.

      I don’t think there’s any point in continuing when you’re denying reality.
