Yep. It's crazy. I was born in 1978. My birth was induced because my dad wanted to claim me on his 78 taxes. I have no idea what he actually told the doctor, but my mom said he packed her up in the car and drove her to the hospital and said it was time.
She said after she gave birth (they tossed me in oxygen, destroying my eye sight) they told her I was going to be a retard. She was told that formula was healthier than breast feeding, so she did that. I had colic and screamed until I was on solid food (poor mom).
She had my bother in 83 and insisted on non-induced and breast fed him. I don't know which of us turned out better or healthier because she vaxxed us because school 'required' it. She said she regrets that tremendously beacause she said even with the relatively few vaxxes for the time she saw us get sick from it. It didn't hit her as to what was going on until I nearly died from a vaccine reaction when I was 17.
I chose never to have kids, but my brother's wife had two. Although, she did breast feed, both were C-section.
It's easier on the doctors to just schedule births, get some extra cash with episiotomies, c-sections, and the like all while saying it's healthier. It's all just sick.
