Let's say it kills 0.1% of the population. If it killed people averaging 60 years old that would reduce average lifespan by about .02 years. Where does the remaining 1.11 years come from?

What shortens life expectancies is an entire generation of children now who are being formed in a dystopian environment. Everything from infants who don’t see smiles on strangers in stores to toddlers who are made to be afraid to breathe outside to youngsters and adolescents who will fail to develop social skills and suffer increased isolation.

This will lead to substance abuse and in some cases suicides down the road. THAT is what will decrease “life expectancy”.

Sounds like a deal with devil to me. But the vaccine is the Mark of the beast?

“COVID-19 will shorten American life expectancy, study shows”

Especially for the people that have died.

Uhh, you mean - died WITH Covid.

Again, in case you missed it, I’ve HAD it. It was a weird chest cold.

Cling to your fear that they’ve fed you all you want, but you cannot tell me that my own experience didn’t happen.

Driving a car will shorten the life expectancy at birth for Americans...

Swimming will shorten the life expectancy at birth for Americans...

Going to a hospital will shorten the life expectancy at birth for Americans...

Life expectancy at birth is a stupid statistic. They know nothing about the next 80 years. And if you probably aren’t dying for 80 years, why would you care who is dying at what age today?

On the other hand, average age of death now is more quantifiable. People who may die soon care about how long they may have. Old people and some young people are dying now. It seems to me that is a more valid idea of what to expect today.

Life expectancy is mainly affected by the death of the young. If 5% of 80-year-olds die 9 years (life expectancy at 80) early, that lowers life expectancy today by 0.45 years (5.4 months). But since CV19 kills very few young, applying that to future life expectancy assumes the disease will be just as deadly 80 years from now and that is stupid straight line thinking.

No, the vaccine is not the mark of the beast

Anti vaccine blather is just pure nonsense

I had the first vaccine shot day before yesterday. My arm was a little sore. No problem

Might want to tell that to the wife of the 56 year old doctor who got ITP from the vax and died.

I thought the American life expectancy was already in decline before COVID due to obesity and opioid abuse.
