FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
14 October 2026
World Council for Health calls for an urgent independent investigation into declining birth rates, reproductive health concerns and pregnancy outcomes following the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, and above all, for the precautionary principle to be applied.
World Council for Health (WCH) is drawing attention to concerns raised in a detailed article examining declining birth rates, reported miscarriages, stillbirths and reproductive health complications following the global rollout of COVID-19 injections beginning in late 2020.
The article, The Silent Crisis: Where Are The Babies? Birth Rate Collapse and Stillbirths After the COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout, examines demographic trends across Europe, Asia and North America, including reported birth rate declines of between 6% and 27% in certain populations during 2022.
It also draws on Pfizer’s post-authorisation safety documents, adverse-event reporting systems, published demographic research and testimony from healthcare professionals to raise questions about the possible relationship between vaccination programmes and reproductive health outcomes.
The article highlights the temporal association of birth rate decline approximately nine to ten months after mass vaccination campaigns began.
Key Concerns Raised in the Article
The investigation examines areas of concern:
- Declining birth rates: Significant reductions in births reported in Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Norway and parts of the United States.
- Pregnancy safety data: Questions surrounding the interpretation and completeness of pregnancy outcomes reported in Pfizer’s post-authorisation safety documents.
- Clinical observations: Concerns raised by obstetricians and other healthcare professionals, including Dr James Thorp and Dr Kimberly Biss, regarding miscarriages, fetal complications and reproductive health.
- Menstrual irregularities: Reports of menstrual cycle disturbances following vaccination and questions about how these experiences were investigated and communicated.
- Regulatory transparency: Calls for greater public access to clinical trial findings, pharmacovigilance reports and reproductive toxicology data.
- Accountability: Questions about the responsibilities of pharmaceutical manufacturers, regulatory agencies and medical institutions in investigating potential safety signals.
The Precautionary Principle
World Council for Health first called for an immediate halt to COVID-19 vaccination programmes in 2021.
WCH continues to advocate for informed consent, independent scientific scrutiny and the transparent investigation of reported adverse events.
In light of the concerns presented in the article, WCH calls for comprehensive investigation into reproductive health outcomes, full disclosure of relevant safety data and, above all, the application of the precautionary principle and an immediate halt to all experimental COVID-19 injections.
Protecting Future Generations
Declining birth rates have far-reaching implications for families, communities and future generations. Understanding the causes requires rigorous examination of demographic, medical, economic and social factors.
WCH believes that questions about reproductive health and medical safety must be openly discussed and investigated without prejudice.
