This totally explains why post-vaxxed 40% increase in all cause deaths of 18-64 year olds in the last 6 months of 2021. /s

This appears to have begun around the time Anthony Fauci joined NIAID!

Since the 1970s the US has had an ever present and debilitating drug problem. How many of those excess deaths were caused by overdose?

[escapefromboston]

Half the country is morbidly obese, I assume that has something to do with it.

[T.B. Yoits]

Don’t ignore medical malpractice.

[ifinnegan]

More crap from Atlantic.

[lonestar67]

This is a problem but the authors are proponents and perpetuating the death spiral.

Opioids ?

Fentanyl ?

Those make no point in such an analysis

They condone opening the border for a narco war against Americans that has killed hundreds of thousands.

Health care?

Y’all got the biggest lefty adjustment toward universal health care in 2013 with Obamacare. But that decreased life expectancy. That is the idea. They wanted that.

[PghBaldy]

I remember reading years ago that we have higher infant mortality than other wealthy countries since we count the deaths differently. If that is true, that could be part of the reason for disparity before covid.

[FarCenter]

Most of the excess deaths appear to be due to things Americans choose to do.

Like taking drugs, driving drunk, eating to obesity, not exercising, going to dangerous places at dangerous times and getting shot, etc.

A few things......

This is not a comparison of like for like. ie what is the average life expectancy of Danish Americans vs Danes, German Americans vs Germans, Japanese Americans vs Japanese, etc. The point being the US is the only wealthy country that has a substantial Black population and they are more prone to heart disease. Japanese by way of contrast have inherited some good genes which make them less prone to heart disease and thus they have longer lifespans on average.

Next, the US counts infant mortality differently than European countries do. In European countries if the baby is under a certain weight, they do not count as a live birth. In the US they do count. Underweight babies are significantly more likely to die. Again Blacks are more prone to having underweight babies.

The other factor is that America has a worse obesity/overweight epidemic. Though European countries are catching up quickly, the problem is worse in the US. That means more heart disease, cancer, etc

Finally, America has a raging fentanyl epidemic that the Biden administration is doing nothing about because that would require closing the border which it is unwilling to do. We had over 100,000 deaths due to drug overdoses last year. That is a staggering number and these are mostly younger people.

None of this says anything about the healthcare system by the way though Leftists will of course try to claim socialized medicine would somehow fix everything (newsflash! it won’t).

Each year, approximately 280,000 adults die from an obesity-related condition in the United States....Obesity significantly increases your risk of developing life-threatening conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and some forms of cancer. (cf. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/192032)

https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/mortality-in... Oct 08, 2020 · Excess mortality is a measure of how many more deaths have occurred over a period of time as compared to the same period in previous years. During the first 34 weeks of 2020, 280,000 more people died than during the first 34 weeks of any of the five previous years.

Incredible ignorance masquerading as a defense of the jabs.

It may have well been posted to an obscure blog. But if The Atlantic sees fit to further discredit itself, so be it.

[Sirius Lee]

First the vaxxtards were pointing to “excess deaths” to make the argument that WuFlu was killing thousands of people every week in order to push the Frankenshot, but now they’re saying that the excess deaths were always there. So is this tacit admission that “death by covid” was just a made up number? Or that the Frankenshots make no difference? Or are they desperately trying to gaslight the public into not noticing “death by vaxx”?
