Quick look into it, in the 50s:
- Before the age of 1, top cause of death were defects (prematurity/immaturity, birth injuries) and congenital deformations.
- Age 1-4 it was accidents (e.g., drownings, burns, traffic) followed by influenza/pneumonia.
- cma 1y agoBut if you got into an accident, wouldn't antibiotics help with the injury, surgery etc.? A bad burn could get infected etc. And possibly similar for some birth injuries and birth defects, and bacterial pneumonia for sure.
