    This is bigger than COVID: Why are so many Americans dying early?

    Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Robert Califf recently took to X
    to mourn the “catastrophic” decline in U.S. life expectancy.

    But his post, which hit on smoking, diet, chronic illness and health care, ignored the obvious: People are dying in abnormally high numbers even now
    and long since COVID-19 waned. Yet public health agencies and medical
    societies are silent.

    Life insurers have been consistently sounding the alarm over these
    unexpected or, “excess,” deaths, which claimed 158,000 more Americans in the first nine months of 2023 than in the same period in 2019. That
    exceeds America’s combined losses from every war since Vietnam. Congress should urgently work with insurance experts to investigate this troubling trend.

    With the worst of COVID behind us, annual deaths for all causes should be
    back to pre-pandemic levels — or even lower because of the loss of so many sick and infirm Americans. Instead, the death toll remains “alarming,” “disturbing,” and deserving of “urgent attention,” according to insurance
    industry articles.

    Actuarial reports — used by insurers to inform decisions — show deaths occurring disproportionately among young working-age people. Nonetheless, America’s chief health manager, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, opted in September to archive its excess deaths webpage with a
    note stating, “these datasets will no longer be updated.”

    … For people 65 and over, deaths in the second quarter of 2023 were 6
    percent below the pre-pandemic norm, according to a new report from the
    Society of Actuaries. Mortality was 26 percent higher among insured 35- to-44-year-olds, and 19 percent higher for 25-to-34-year-olds, continuing
    a death spike that peaked in the third quarter of 2021 at a staggering 101 percent and 79 percent above normal, respectively.

    …

    И е така не само в САЩ.

    Що така бе, Миме? Обсебеният дали ще се извини? Пак ли някой друг ще му е
    виновен за това? И пак ли е руска пропаганда?

    За какво точно трябва да се извинявам?? Какви са причините за завишената
    смъртност?

    За тъпите ти обвинения към мен и Радост.

    Какви са според теб? Но преди да отговориш, поне прочети статията.
