Where on earth is Hammond getting the idea 25% of all triplets die as neonates?? The only "2023 research" I can find is this: https://twinstrust.org/resource/new-statistics-show-neonatal-death-risk-five-times-greater-for-twin-or-triplet-pregnancies-compared-to-carrying-one-baby.html

The rate is 8 per 1000 who die, with a further 8 in 1000 stillborn. Much higher than single baby births, but even combined (and honestly should he include stillbirths?) you're looking at 1.6%, not "a quarter". And he mocks others for their poor statistics...
