I’d like to see the underlying data for mortality numbers for both years for the 18 to 55 age group, and not just this chart of percent changes. We need to know what happened in both years 2020 and 2021, because with all the lockdowns of economic activity, there could have been a dip in mortality in 2020.
Traffic accidents are a major cause of death for younger people, and there could have been a big dip in traffic accidents in 2020 because of lockdowns of bars, clubs, sporting events, concerts, and workplaces. So people were staying home more and driving much less in many places. The underlying data for the chart needs to be added to the original post.
And yes, I agree that the CDC appears to be suppressing access to some important data.
Re the lockdowns, etc., good thinking and good post. Also see my #11:

They’re not just suppressing data.
They’re screwing with it.
BTW, if folks get the chance, they should read the comments at Kirch’s post.
Those are also enlightening.
