Infant Deaths and the Failure of the Biden Administration

During his Senate intervention, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. harshly criticized the political inaction regarding the rise of chronic illnesses among children and the recent increase in infant mortality, developments he attributed to the failures of the Biden administration. His critique exposes a weak point in the Democratic discourse: despite promising improvements in public health and social welfare, the results show a deterioration in key indicators that directly affect American families.

The rise in infant mortality—an unprecedented setback in two decades—demonstrates that Biden’s health policies have failed to protect the most vulnerable sectors. Added to this is the perception that Democrats, more focused on ideological disputes and expanding bureaucracies, have neglected the fight against structural health problems that continue to grow, such as obesity, diabetes, and other chronic childhood illnesses.

In this context, Kennedy’s words highlight the disconnect between progressive promises and reality: a more expensive healthcare system, with greater subsidies and regulations, yet incapable of reversing negative trends. Far from taking responsibility, the Biden administration has chosen to downplay adverse data, shifting the discussion to politics instead of proposing concrete and effective solutions.

In sum, the deterioration of health indicators under Biden’s administration reflects the failure of the Democratic strategy in healthcare—characterized by more public spending and fewer results—while the real problems of American families remain unresolved.
