I can remember seeing this in real time after the vaccinations started when I was still on Instragram: I can remember seeing just post after post after post, one after another, of women who had lost their babies, it was like seeing a tsunami of pain. It was actually more than I could look at, a tide-wall of tears that just ripped me in half. I can remember thinking, I can forgive just about anything else, but I will never be able to forgive this. It was like drowning in a sea of grief. I still tear up thinking about it. All those women's suffering just being swept under the carpet is the ultimate in misogyny and hatred towards motherbaby that our society has laid bare

This far worse than reducing life expectancy by 30 years. Even if people only live on average to 50 years, this is still ample time to reproduce and sustain the species. But reducing the birthrate by 30%? That is an extinction level event requiring only a handful of generations to wipe out a population.
