It's not completely random, although I didn't fact-check absolute specifics like you did. What I'm going to do in response is fact-check long term trends, which was my point. First site I checked shows that infant mortality in the US fell by about 50% from 1980-2010 (depending on category, but that's the trend in all categories). Someone did a paper on 1926 US infant mortality rates, and current rates are roughly 90% lower. I'm not comparing to Serbia, or to last year. I'm comparing to decades ago. By focusing on trend rather than momentary detail, I'm seeing the positive where you're seeing the negative.
