Deaths Among People Aged 18-49 surged 40% in the US during Covid Period. By Petr Svab.

Deaths among people aged 18 to 49 increased more than 40 percent in the 12 months ending October 2021, compared to the same period in 2018–2019 … according to an analysis of death certificate data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by The Epoch Times. …

The increase was notable across the country and in no state was COVID reported in more than 60 percent of the excess deaths. …

Overall, a part of the surge could be likely blamed on drug overdoses, which increased to more than 101,000 in the 12 months ending June 2021 from about 72,000 in 2019, the CDC estimated. About two-thirds of those deaths involved synthetic opioids including fentanyl that are often smuggled to the United States from China through Mexico.

For those ages 50 to 84, mortality went up more than 27 percent, representing more than 470,000 excess deaths. Almost four out of five of the deaths had COVID marked on the death certificate as the cause or a contributing factor.

For those 85 or older, mortality increased about 12 percent with more than 100,000 excess deaths. …

For those under 18, mortality decreased about 0.4 percent in 2020 compared to 2019. In the 12 months ending October 2021, it fell some 3.3 percent compared to the same period in 2018–2019.

Because doctors and hospitals are strongly discouraged from attributing deaths or harm to vaccines, the only way that those deaths show up in official statistics is in the overall deaths and the excess deaths.
