Scott Davidson, the CEO of Indianapolis-based insurance company OneAmerica, said last week that the death rate in Indiana is up a stunning 40% from pre-pandemic levels among working-age people.
The shocking admission by Davidson was made during an online news conference that was organized by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, reports TheCenterSquare.
According to Davidson, the increase in deaths represents “huge, huge numbers,” and the deaths are not in the old, but in “primarily working-age people 18 to 64”.
“Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be a 10% increase over pre-pandemic. So 40% is just unheard of.”

Obviously more masks, testing, and full auto jabbing needs to be done to solve this problem. /S
I have no idea how the vaxx cheerleaders, even here, can refuse to acknowledge such findings. Reports and studies are beginning to cascade in from all over the world. The first GOP candidate to get out in front of this before the entire narrative is flipped will be in strong position to begin the primaries. Rand Paul is savvy and knowledgeable enough to be that candidate. Rand’s chops on the Fauci/vaxx issue are only rivaled by DeSantis. Plus, in a debate with anyone, including Fauci or Trump, Rand has the gravitas to win every time.
Are insurance salesmen more or less credible than used car salesmen?
Insurance executives are in the risk business.
This is a man that is looking at the math
Math includes sales and pricing. He sets the stage to sell more policies at higher prices.
Why cant freerepublic be more skeptical when something seems to support their views.
This guy is not unbiased and his main agenda is to sell insurance at the highest price possible.
Deaths are up to 100%, for all, eventually!
Where is the Govt? Fauci? Pelousi?
This has to stop!
I would suggest this insurance company CEO is FAR more credible than the CDC/NIH/NIAID (Collins, Fauci) experimental vaccine and mask mandates, which are very highly related to this issue.
He’s not entitled to his own facts.
Moreover, the statistical observation he has made would need to be supported 100% by the facts.
Bias would not appear to enter into it.
This is an ex-parrot.
Has he published the actuarial information? There can be many ways to interpret his statement. I was in life business, I helped design life products for employees. I know the games actuaries can play.
We should not be too anxious to believe something from someone who has an agenda to sell more insurance at higher prices.
Maybe he'll release his data in 75 years.
I will suggest, however, that statements from this CEO are very likely well supported, and quite critical to the success of his business. You should NOT pass them off lightly.
As a former insurance sales person I resemble that remark. I was always trying to help people.
But in this case they are talking about the actuarial tables and the insurance company is paying out way more claims than they are supposed to in this age group. They are saying something is wrong. They’re not trying to sell you insurance they’re trying to tell you that they are in trouble and so is our society. This is unprecedented.
The CEO of an insurance company primary job is profit. Past is past and profits already baked in. Excess mortality costs likely shared with others. Selling new employer groups or raising premium on existing in competitive situations is where the CEO makes the biggest impact, not from crying about past.
Dont assume he isn’t leveraging covid price increases like every other company.
Of course the companies all sell coverage to big buyers.
But life insurance is an actuarial game. All numbers and risk
The increased death rate from suicide, increase in murders as well and deaths from the vax have caused the average American lifespan to drop by two years.
Trump won’t pick him for VP, but Rand Paul would be an excellent VP choice.
And, that is why I’m waiting for others to confirm it, refute it, or push for more data.
If it is true, others will enter the fray and support it.
Sort of like...REAL science.
Actually, the point he is making in his video is directly supported and reinforced by this data from US CDC National Center for Health Statistics.
Look carefully at the 4th column, labeled "Percent of Expected Deaths", which compares the actual total deaths in the period to what would normally actuarialy be expected in that period.
And keep in mind that the column labeled "Deaths from All Causes" is probably the most reliable by far, and less likely to be tainted by political motives.
And speaking of political motives, I wonder what yours are, and if they relate to your continued disparagement of this CEO?
I looked quickly and see that only 10 out of 52 weeks were higher than 140% .
I am only cautioning that this guy has a primary objective and obligation to increase his company’s profits and that means selling more policies at higher prices, therefore we should be skeptical of his interpretation and communication of statistics even if they seem to support our beliefs.
You like what he claims fine with me. Having worked closely with presidents of life insurance companies, they make liberal politicians seem like honest abe.
