On a global level, fertility is negatively correlated with national IQ, and on a national level it is negatively correlated with individual IQ. Which strongly contradicts what you wrote.

Cite a source for that? There are, in particular, no such thing as "national IQ" numbers.
"National IQ" refers to the average IQ of a country.
Yes, that is a statistic that does not in fact exist. It may exist in theory, but there is no mechanism in place anywhere to collect it, and there never has been.
Americans should know this intuitively by dint of most of us never having been "officially" IQ tested. Somehow, the notion of reliable national IQ statistics persists.
