I think these numbers are so extreme as to invite skepticism.
Too often (omicron is 72% of cases) unbelievable numbers are, in fact, not to be believed.

>it’s not elderly people who are dying Quoted verbatim from the source article. This is a plain statement on the death rate of that specific age group.
Do you think he's saying elderly people aren't dying? Because that's what those precise words would mean when you take them out of context. In context, it's clear that he's not talking about elderly people at all.
I've had to chop up the quote to point out the exact part I take issue with. The entire quote is a comparison of age groups, of which he does not appear to have data for.
Also as others have mentioned, this part may have been added by the reporter who definitely doesn't cite Amy source for the comparison. Either option equates to poor reporting.

#113Here's an interesting video about an increase in sports-related deaths and heart-attacks. Maybe it's related? https://rumble.com/vpnxkr-are-these-side-effects-extremely-r...
There's funeral directors on youtube and bitchute that say their workload has increased 5x and the deaths are all heart related.

Within my brothers circle of friends / former friends etc, amongst those that participate in recreational drug use, there have been a crazy number of Fentanyl related deaths. They're all between the ages of 25 - 30. I can't help but wonder how much this has an impact.
Correct! “ The synthetic and highly addictive drug has claimed more lives than COVID-19, auto crashes, gun violence, cancer and suicide in the year 2020.” https://www.abc12.com/news/fentanyl-number-one-cause-of-deat...
No byline. No sources. Bad article.
The article appears to attribute all accidental poisoning to fentanyl. That seems like an error.

#115I feel like article like this one are commonly used by the anti-vaccine community. They point to those ominous, rising death numbers and understand them as evidence for the dangers of mRNA vaccines. It would therefore (among other reasons) be helpful to understand where exactly that rise in numbers comes from, is it vaccines (which I don't think, else we'd be seeing a similar spike in, say, Europe)? Or is it being ca…
The anti-vaccination people don’t need facts, so anything that creates FUD works for them.
I live in a protest corridor, and the “freedom lovers” were demanding that we sacrifice the weak and old so that they could enjoy not getting a vaccine. It’s a gross type of mental illness.

#117Pandemics are defined by "excess deaths" so nothing really surprising here.

#118This may well be true in some suitably qualified sense, but it's odd to be hearing it from an insurance company first. General population death records would enable government health agencies to catch such large statistical shifts more quickly than an insurance company. I suspect what they're seeing is real, but they're exaggerating how representative it is of all geographic regions and socioeconomic strata. Maybe there's another wave of fentanyl ODs hitting the Rust Belt / Appalachia.

#119Life Expectancy in U.S. Declined 1.8 Years in 2020, CDC Says https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/life-expectancy-in-u-s-decl... This is for 2020 - COVID-19 deaths are more for 2021. Really wild numbers if you think about it.
It also hints that covid-19 related deaths are undercounted in the us.

#120Just for background and not trying to malign the source, but the was at a press conference where the Chamber of Commerce and hospital leaders were imploring state residents to get vaccinated as to avoid a vaccine mandate that the state legislature was considering for employers Feels like the insurance guy at this press conference is trying to 'scare' young folks into getting the vaccine. My question is, the life insu…
You allege bias, but the CEO of your life insurance company is like the textbook example of someone whose incentives are aligned with yours…
