The decline in US life expectancy

In 2021, the average American could expect to live until the age of 76, federal health researchers reported on Wednesday. The figure represents a loss of almost three years since 2019, when Americans could expect to live, on average, nearly 79 years.

Is it because of everyone got fat and hooked on fentanyl during COVID or is it all the transwomen and trans kids being LITERALLY MURDERED by everything?

Or both?

Fat tubs of lard in a land where fat tubs of lard think wearing a mask is "Tyranny" and being gunned down in school, church, at a concert or the grocery store, a parade or synagogue, or any oldwhere is preferrable to not buying more and more destructive firearms, and having clean water and clean air is "Communist".

Yeah. Sounds Murican.

by Anonymousreply 9September 2, 2022 11:03 AM

Only 4 cents of every dollar spent on health in the US is for public health.

It’s public health—like clean water and air—that has doubled human life expectancy over the last 150 years

America neglects public health because it’s the role of govt. Now you see the consequences

This was mainly due to COVID.

Since COVID, incidences of heart attack and stroke have increased in all age cohorts under 80. For the 80 and over, it decreased, but that's because people that age are dying of COVID before they have a chance to die of heart disease.

This is happening in all countries that took the mRNA vaccines. In Alberta, the leading cause of death is "sudden death, unknown causes" now. And it didn't spike in 2020 when there was no vaccine, only after the main rollout in 2021. But keep taking those jabs! Forever. Every few months.

It’s Covid related. White life expectancy showed bigger increases than black. All the MAGA types who went anti-vax.

by Anonymousreply 19September 2, 2022 1:04 PM

Oops. I meant the opposite. White life expectancy showed a bigger decrease than black. The worst hit groups are indigenous people. Maybe alcohol and drug related?

by Anonymousreply 20September 2, 2022 1:05 PM

We've lost over a million people to Covid. I mean, the US does have a population of around 330 million, but one in 330 is kind of significant.

1400 people died from COVID on August 31. And it’s not even fall/winter yet. Schools are not fully back yet. This is going to get worse, and we have dropped all ways to stop it. It’s pure and utter madness.

r25 masking is "strongly encouraged" at my university. I attended a lecture this week, mostly with undegrads.

Out of ~300 students, fewer than ten were masked.

It's going to be a fun year.

How many people under 50 die daily from Covid? Excluding people who are immunized or unvaxxed? It’s probably code to zero. My 90 year old diabetic uncle just got over Covid. Of course he was 4x vaxxed.

It’s a serious disease for the elderly and unvaxxed unhealthy.

r25, the UK data shows that the only people dying of "covid" are the ones who took the mRNA shots, with mortality increasing with every booster.

Link the UK study. is there a distinction made between those who die of cancer and also have Covid and those who died from omicron and no other ailments?

by Anonymousreply 31September 2, 2022 3:09 PM

I thought 'the jab' was supposed to kill the vaccinated within a year but I've done some research and I think I've figured out why some of the jabbed sheep I know are still "alive'! And why the 'vaccinated' people who are still up and about even want a A BOOSTER!

Ok, so! The first jab really was the killing jab and now they are robots with ever-decaying flesh overtop, kept fresh with subsequent jabs of FORMALDEHYDE (don't get me started!!!!) all engineered by The Deep State, George Soros, and Klaus Schwab??? OMGOMGOMG!!!!

Before COVID, life expectancy was trending downward because of drug overdoses, especially in whites. The curve started downward in 2019.

COVID's arrival accelerated it because of COVID-related deaths and those from increase drug use--both public health related matters

Other countries don't have nearly as bad a decline.

Covid affected all countries to varying extents, but R41 has it. The U.S. was on a decline quite unrelated to Covid.

The U.S. drug death rate per 100,000 people is 21.28. Compare the numbers to others on the linked map.

In 2019 in Europe, Estonia and Scotland were far ahead of the rest with 9.8 and 9.2 per 100,000 (UK 4.16); Latvia at 6.1 and Finland at 5.3, then Ireland and Iceland in the low 4's; and most every other country in the 3's or less (Spain and France in the 1's; Italy 0.788; Italy 0.9; Germany 2; Poland 0.5; Turkey 0.4; Greece 1.9)

The USA is Number 1!
