Fewer Children are Being Born in England and Wales, and the Fertility Rate is at its Lowest Level on Record. 

This headline is itself foreboding. But it is not the product of a creative headline writer. It is, rather, the exact language used in the office U.K. report from the Office of National Statistics (ONS).

The ONS report “shows that the total fertility rate in England and Wales has fallen to its lowest level on record, at 1.44 children per woman.” Should this concern you? Maybe not, unless you are in Britain or care about Britain. But maybe the finding is equally applicable here, but we just have not seen any such statistics from the U.S. government.

It seems that England and Wales are not outliers. The report tells us that, “Fertility rates, which measure the number of children born per woman of childbearing age, have been gradually falling across the world and more than halved since 1963.” What’s not readily apparent in the data is the fact that certain ethnicities have very robust population growth, while others are declining, and the word “gradually” may not properly reflect the significant plunge in fertility.

“The number of children born in England and Wales has been falling for the last decade and is at its lowest since 1977, while the average age of first-time mothers is at an all-time high,” the report stated.

We don’t pretend to know why this serious decline in fertility rates is happening, but William Makis, MD, a Canadian physician and very active medical writer, believes it is related to, and correlated with the Covid-19 vaccine. Dr. Makis looked at this data and concluded that, “In 2021, when COVID-19 Vaccines rolled out, the 20-24 age group would have been 17-21.” He believes the vaccine has lead to the decline in fertility, and he says that during those years “so many Universities and Colleges implemented draconian COVID-19 Vaccine mandates on all their students.”
