US life expectancy is falling, and it’s going to fall even further in 2022:
Life expectancy at birth in the U.S. declined nearly a year from 2020 to 2021, according to new provisional data from the CDC.
Why it matters: It’s the latest evidence of the toll the COVID pandemic took on Americans’ health and takes the U.S. life expectancy at birth to its lowest level — 76.1 years — since 1996.
Together with recent data showing life expectancy fell 1.8 years between 2019 and 2020, that means life expectancy at birth fell by 2.7 years over two years — the largest two-year decline since 1921–1923.
The so-called experts are trying to blame it on Covid, which makes no sense given that Covid disproportionately affected the elderly. Which means, of course, that it’s a combination of a) obesity and b) the vaxx.
