The lower infant mortality rate seems mostly a result of government

But greater wealth and scientific progress - both of which are
products of capitalism - are what made government investment and the
science of public health possible. Obviously they're not enough, or I
wouldn't be an anti-capitalist, but it's pointless to deny that
capitalism has something to do with lower infant mortality and longer
lifespans.
