The US infant mortality rate is worse than every peer country. We're more than double Spain, South Korea, and Italy. More than 3X Japan and Finland. Our babies are dying at rates we'd never accept in other areas of policy.

CEPR's @JakobJohnston in @The_Dialogue's #LatAmAdvisor on #Haiti's elections in 2026: "What would be a positive step is a government, de facto or not, that cares as much about its people as it does foreign diplomats. That doesn’t take an election; it takes courage."
