    Uh decreases in child mortality is a result from non-profit, state-driven public health initiatives and mass vaccination campaigns, publicly funded sanitation, and universal health protocols rather than market driven incentives. Credit belongs to public infrastructure, not private market distribution. You can thank socialism for this.

        Well The World Health Organization attributes reductions in child mortality primarily to public health interventions, such as expanded immunization programs, water treatment, and maternal health services, rather than market-driven healthcare.

            No that’s not what you are saying. You’re completely missing the distinction between market mechanisms and public infrastructure:

            You cited the drop in child mortality as proof that capitalism works.

            Especially when considering the billions of dollars capitalist countries give in aid internationally and domestically. Also, global child mortality has fallen massively during the same period the site is counting these deaths as capitalism’s toll. The under-five mortality rate fell about 60% from 1990 to 2024.

            But in reality: Declining child mortality is explicitly driven by non-profit, state-administered public health interventions, clean water infrastructure, mass vaccination programs, and public sanitation.
