Thank you so much for this. I just want to understand something about the de Berk case. The word "exoneration" has been used in that case. But is that really the right choice of words? It seems highly likely that she too was guilty, despite the conviction being overturned.
Glad you liked it, and welcome! I’m afraid I don’t know enough about her case to comment and would be careful what I said if I thought she was guilty, but she has been freed.
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...

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
