Average Life Expectancy In US Nosedives By 2 Years Since 2019

Life expectancy in the United States fell by nearly two years in 2020 to about 77 years amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the sharpest drop compared to 19 other high-income countries, according to a recent analysis.

Americans, on average, had a life expectancy of 76.99 years in 2020, down from 78.86 years in 2019, according to the study, which looked at national death and population counts in 2019 and 2020, as well as provisional data for 2021 to calculate mortality rate ratios.

The decline of 1.87 years in life expectancy for 2020 was far higher than the mean reduction of 0.57 years in 19 peer countries, including Canada, France, Germany, Denmark and South Korea. No country experienced a decrease as steep as that of the United States, according to the analysis, which was published as a preprint on the medRxiv website.

U.S. COVID-19 mortality and excess deaths were among the highest in the world and the virus was the third leading cause of death in the United States in 2020, after heart disease and cancer.

Based on provisional 2021 data, U.S. life expectancy fell even further last year, to an estimated 76.60 years.

Authors of the study said the United States mismanaged the federal, state and local responses to the COVID-19 pandemic at the start, contributing to higher death rates than those in other countries. The pandemic response exacerbated the life expectancy gap between the U.S. and its peers.

“The fact the U.S. lost so many more lives than other high-income countries speaks not only to how we managed the pandemic but also to more deeply rooted problems that predated the pandemic,” said Steven H. Woolf, one of the study authors and faculty at Virginia Commonwealth University.

“U.S. life expectancy has been falling behind other countries since the 1980s, and the gap has widened over time, especially in the last decade,” he said.

Woolf said Americans die at higher rates because of heart disease, diabetes and dozens of other conditions. The lack of universal health care, income and educational inequality, and less healthy physical and social environments also contributed.

The study findings mirrored earlier estimates from U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (https://bit.ly/3xp31kI) that showed 2020 life expectancy was 77 years for the total U.S. population, a decrease of 1.8 years from 78.8 years in 2019, the biggest decline since World War II.

With the pandemic in its third year, close to a million Americans have died due to COVID-19, according to the CDC.

Fingers of blame are pointing everywhere but to mRNA injections which have proven to be ineffective in protecting recipients from getting COVID or if they do, from having serious symptoms. Even as compelling research is released. Big Pharma deflects critics as conspiracy theorists or domestic extremists.

      I basically make about $6,000-$8,000 a month online. It’s enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 10-13 hours a week from home. I was amazed how easy it was after I tried it….

    Hello Saeed:
    What did you expect? We can never reach the elite’s goal of a total herd size of 500 million without the help of “safe and effective vaccines.” We are headed into the WEF’s (CFR) fourth industrial revolution where finacialization and militarization of all plantation animals will necessitate a drastic reduction in “useless eater” populations.

      Who’s gonna support all those useless leftists and lazy bums? The slave class will have perished. Hopefully, they turn on each other and kill themselves off. Mother Earth would be very happy.

        Hello Tom:
        The assorted leftists and “useful idiots” as Lenin called them are used by the Zionist syndicate opposite those on the other end of the spectrum in order to keep the sheep focused on the political circus while the real agenda moves on as planned. Now after the fake election and ridiculous fake capitol riot (to pull attention away from the fake election) the political stage is being set as the radical left fake Dems. are being blackwashed for a return of the fake Republicans. There will be no real policy changes of any consequence but just a continuation of authoritarian policy under the cloak of the fake climate crisis, fake wars, fake viruses and the attack on natural rights as the herd is driven ever closer to the goal of destruction of all the countries and establishment of a global totalitarian tyranny.

        When the Agenda 2030-21 system is in place all of those leftists will be swept away. Not only will they no longer be needed but some of them, realizing they have been duped and will become “enemies of the state” and so will be eliminated, just as in China’s social credit total surveillance total control system, dissent is not tolerated.

    The modern stone-age medical system, backed by big pharma poison drugs, strikes again. In many cases, your better bet is to avoid the doc and his deadly drugs and treat yourself naturally.
