Those perverted lifestyle choices also have reduced mortality.
A.I.D.S. (if you catch my drift...)
Along with MASSIVE increases in homicide and deaths from drug overdoses/chronic use/diseases.
Drugs in particularly have struck close to me twice. One was a 21 year old victim of hepatitis that he almost certainly got from a dirty needle. He was so zoned out on narcotics that he didn't know anything was wrong until a few days before he died. The other was an overdose victim in her mid-50s.
Of course the farce of a "news" media doesn't care about ANY of these causes. They can't be boxed into any of the narratives they're pushing. So it's something to be ignored.
