It would also be interesting to know if Swedish immigrants/racial minorities have lower vaccination rates compared to native Swedes (as is the case in the UK, for example) and if Yes compare the birth rates between the two groups.

If vaccine is the culprit behind low birth rates it will mean the numbers are even LOWER for native white populations, and the overall numbers are being propped up by immigrant (unvaxxed) births. Only a hypothesis but too important to not look into.

There's a confounding factor here, because immigrants to Sweden already tend to have higher birth rates.

It should be looked into but I am not sure that anyone has access to this data.

I would expect the migrant population to be less vaxxed than the native population as they tend to be less trusting of government.
