In terms of excess unexpected mortality, the equivalent of the Vietnam war just occurred in the last 6 months to America’s millennials (ages 25-44).

Even though the percentage is unprecedented, I still contend that millennials are collateral damage in a Worldwide Welfare State campaign to reduce underfunded liabilities (social security, Medicare, Medicaid, pensions, etc.). I say this confidently based on CDC numbers…

CDC 6 month Excess Mortality August 2021- January 2022… Ages 25-44 -> 61,000 (84% increase)
Ages 45-64 -> 101,000
Ages 65-84 -> 300,000+

Millenials are the largest living cohort.

On a percentage basis, I wonder how it matches up to the boomers in the 60’s?

I am not suggesting the numbers are not horrific. But I am a firm believer that a lot of writers use numbers to present a “side of the story” and that side is not always the statistical relevant side.

Changes in death rates can be tricky things.

I used to actually read the labels of the meds my doc wanted to prescribe. One of the indicated a 25% reduction in my risk of heart attack. The thing is, my “risk” of a heart attack was something like .25% per year. So...a 25% decrease did not make all that much difference in an average year of my life.

I am naturally skeptical of these kind of “spectacular” claims.

This corresponds with my own anecdotal impression. I am in my 60s and have never lost as many friends, acquaintances, and relatives in a year. Other than my brother-in-law who had an inoperable cancerous brain tumor and was on hospice care but was counted as one of our communities first "presumptive Covid deaths"... this increase has not been from those dying “from” Covid.

There seems to have been a huge increase in people dying from the usual suspects, cancer, heart disease, and strokes, but also rapid onset problems that are almost mind boggling. I was told yesterday about one of my neighbors who I was just working outside with about a week ago is in the hospital and not expected to live. He supposedly has some form of cancer that kills very quickly. Almost strangely, I have not lost any of my friends who have been skeptical of the “vaccines”, and we are the ones who supposedly have been at the most risk?

“I still contend that millennials are collateral damage in a Worldwide Welfare State campaign to reduce underfunded liabilities”

It seems to me that they would wait until they stopped working to kill off the millennials. Why would they want to get rid of them while they are sending in the money and not taking any out? Maybe they already stopped. Maybe they never started. Who knows?
