Hi Muniv,

I've started to see that article passed around on Twitter, I haven't looked into it too much.

You could check it against this site, which shows mortality by each age group in the US:

Deaths are up for people 15-64, and they have been through the whole pandemic. During big covid waves, deaths go up 40-60%. In between waves, they're still up 20%.

Are those deaths caused by the vaccine, like Malone and others suggest?

Try comparing to some control group countries, like Australia or New Zealand. They also took the vaccines, but they didn't have much covid:

No clear sign of excess deaths for people 15-64.

If the vaccine is deadly, it has to be deadly everywhere. It would also kill people in Australia and New Zealand and Hawaii and Vermont and wherever. But none of those places have excess deaths.

So, what's causing the excess deaths in the US?

Covid is probably the biggest category.

25% of covid deaths were under 65 years old, so that's 200,000 dead people in that age group.

We also get more heart attacks and deaths like that at times when covid goes up. I don’t know what that’s about, I think it’s hospital overload.

Fentanyl deaths are also up, that's getting pretty bad. We have 100,000 overdoses per year.

Murder is also up a little, about 5,000 extra murders per year. That's a small part of the problem.

There could be some vaccine deaths in there too, I don't know. But it's not some large number that you can see in the graphs, because it doesn’t show up in other countries.

I don’t usually like to cite the New York Times, because they have a liberal bias, but they did a recent article on covid deaths before and after vaccines came out, you might find that interesting.

They claim that covid deaths have gone down for older people, the group that got vaccinated the most, but they’re up for younger people:

Deaths also went down for asian people, aged 45–64. Asians are the most vaccinated racial group in the US.

Covid deaths went up a lot for white people, aged 45–64. I bet if you broke it down by county, you’d find that it was worse among white Republicans (less vaccines) and better among white Democrats (more vaccines).

I haven’t run those numbers myself, and I don’t 100% trust the New York Times.

I'm going to do a 2021 excess deaths post soon and try to get all the categories a little more accurate and see if there are any unexplained ones.
