Has anyone done a poll asking the reasons why people may be delaying childbearing? Is it purposeful or that they are unable to conceive?
Are some delaying because they suspect they may not want to get pregnant close to vaccination?
Is there an uptick in initial Fertility clinic visits or fertility- related lab testing?
I think this is some of it. That’s why we should ask people instead of just looking at numbers. Increase in fertility related care would help differentiate.
these are real questions: the problem that this nihilism haven't started until "end" of pandemic / beginning of ukrainian war. So this year. Why do you see a signal of birth drop 9 months after quakcination and already in the beginning of 2022? No one was in nihilism that time.

What do you do in a lockdown? Most people aren’t knitting. The famous blackout in NewYork in 2003 caused a large uptick in childbirth 9 months later.
And delaying for pregnancy concerns would infer that the people getting the shots are critical thinkers.

I think that is a very reasonable hypothesis that should be considered.
