The coronavirus pandemic has cut U.S. life expectancy by more than 9 million years from March 2020 to March of this year, according to a study in the Annals of Internal Medicine published on Monday, which doesn't take into account the latest wave of cases from the delta variant.

"The COVID-19 pandemic has robbed Americans of 9 million birthdays that would otherwise have been celebrated," Hanke Heun-Johnson, one of the authors of the study, told Axios.

Per capita, Black and Hispanic Americans lost almost twice as many years of life as white Americans.

I had no idea one could live to see their 9 millionth year.

How many birthdays do they calculate for the whole abortion thing?

It’s robbed America of 600 million birthdays that we can’t celebrate without MASKS or FEAR or STAYING HOME or BEING ON VIDEO or LIMITING INVITEES in one way or another.

Even if you have no fear of Covid yourself, some of your relatives and former friends no doubt do, and they won’t travel or be around you unless you and everyone else attending are FULLY VAXXED. Not to mention your friends and relatives in other countries who can’t get in legally while the borders are open to illegals.

Feels like the MSM has been yapping about Covid for 9 million years.

Since the Garden of Eden we were given no assurances of long life.

It looks like it’s 9 million years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Other ideas....

Psalm 90:10
The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.

Genesis 6:3
Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.”

James 4:14
Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

Genesis 5:4
The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters.

My brother passed a few weeks ago from CoVid. We have a large family. Five siblings remain. Three aren’t willing to be around the others. Only one is unvaxxed but believes he had CoVid in early 2020. It is complete tragic that so many in my family are so afraid of this disease that we won’t be together for my brother’s celebration of life. Tragic. I can’t talk any sense into the ones who are so afraid.

Sorry for your loss.

Meanwhile, the culprits both here and in China go free. The further we get away from the beginning the less likely, if ever, any of them pay the piper for this mess.

Ivermectin and HCQ would have cured 90% of them.

No, it robbed US residents of 200+ million birthdays that they were afraid to celebrated.

But 100+ million real Americans didn’t let fear of the China Cooties control their lives and celebrated anyway.

It’s BS. 9 million birthdays divided by 690,000 Covid deaths is about 13 years. The vast majority of Covid deaths are of elderly people with co-morbidities, people who lost maybe one or two years, or perhaps none at all.

I don’t think the article is referring to cancelled birthday parties, but to years of life lost because of premature death due to Covid. But I think the number they give is bogus.

Well, if all they were going to get is one last birthday, what’s the point of the ‘article’?

Help me with the numbers: Abortion robs us how many million birthdays, both this year and for years to come? Even those whose heartbeat we can hear will never celebrate even their first. Sad.
