With the advent of mass vaccination in Europe, why have more young adults died during the second half of 2021 than had died in 2020 (or 2017, 2018, 2019)?
Shouldn't the vaccines have caused a return to normal levels of mortality?
Why is young adult mortality in the euromomo region accelerating at the end the 2021 with nearly everyone in this age group fully vaccinated?
Contrast this to the very elderly, where excess mortality remains high, but is down significantly compared to 2020. Why are deaths falling amongst the very old but accelerating in young adults?
For the middle-aged, deaths in the second half of 2021 were ~ equal to the second half of 2020... was this what was promised by the vaccines? Nearly everyone in this age group was vaccinated. Why didn't it reduce mortality?
For children, 2020 and 2021 were the two safest years in Europe's history (most of these children are not vaccinated, many never worse masks in school, and schools never closed in several of the nations covered).
