I don’t mind the drop in life expectancy, as long as it’s driven by the “correct” people.

It’s not because of covid, because the average covid death age is life expectancy, was actually a couple years more than life expectancy for a while.

Lots of 3 letter propaganda aimed at rationalizing the Great Pandemic that never happened.

I presume "provisional estimates" are sort of like those "unnamed sources" ( provisional just means "pulled out of AZZ", just like the entire Event 201 plandemic

and more of the tear jerking "but I know somebody who died" bullcrap .

I would bet more people died from suicide or from the "vax" than died from Sars Cov2 in this corporate investor hijack of the medical system

“Health officials say the drop in life expectancy from 2019 to 2021 — falling by 2.7 years to 76.1 – is now the country’s worst two-year decline on record since 1923, according to provisional estimates published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics.”

People born right around the end of WWII are the ones dying. Interestingly, these children, in 1955ish, were the first to be injected with the polio “vaccine” (strained ground up monkey kidneys diluted with formaldahyde).

We have lost relatives and friends in the last 2+ years.

A few at first, probably died due to Covid, some before and some after vaccinations.

A few have died due to inability to see their family docs and get standard lab studies done for other illnesses.

My wife was unable to get her hip transplant due to the impact of covid on health providers and the impact of Covid on hospitals. She finally had her hip replacement after about 9 months. She is doing fine for an 82 year old.

A SIL died of acute onset Adult leukemia this past spring. She had been unable to see her IM and get the standard tests. When she finally got her tests, she died in about 2 months afterwards.

A family, we know all got the crud and most recovered in a short time, except for a teen daughter, who apparently has the long term crud.

We have a newly retired RN, who walks in our area. We hadn’t seen her for a few months until recently. In spite of 2 vaccinations and 2 boosters, she apparently had the newer Covid 2 X/Twice this year. She retired and doing okay.

She recommends walking daily and no shots. She said there is apparently no way to avoid this Covid form of flu re shots/boosters, which don’t work in these N. California areas. Most healthy people are only impacted for a few days.

We still have a few die/hard mask wearers. If they comment re us not wearing masks, I tell them their masks will protect them.

No, it wasn’t the vaccines.

“”The declines in life expectancy since 2019 are largely driven by the pandemic,” the agency said in a news release. “COVID-19 deaths contributed to nearly three-fourths, or 74%, of the decline from 2019 to 2020, and 50% of the decline from 2020 to 2021.””

“”Unintentional injuries” was the second biggest overall reason for the worsening estimate, driving 15.9% of the decline. Those “were largely driven by drug overdose,” the report’s authors wrote.”

COVID and unintentional injuries account for 90% of the decline.

SADS was first reported in the 1970’s, long before the ‘shot’.
