13,595 people under the age of 40 in the US died with Coronavirus through 9/18/21 data.

That’s 2.02% of all US Coronavirus deaths; it is 4.2% of all cause-deaths for this age group.

Last year, the US had 22K more fatal ODs than 2019; a 30% jump and it mostly hit younger people.

Harassing 2 year olds about masks and forcing school shutdowns on young children do not reflect the above numbers. It in fact appears that freak-driven draconian lockdowns have caused more deaths to the under age-40 group in 12 months than did Coronavirus in 18 months.

The NYT reports that FBI stats show an added 5,000 homicides last year compared to 2019.

Two major public things happened in ‘20: Mostly peaceful protests; draconian lockdowns.

The protests didn’t cause most of these added deaths; COVID-19 policies likely did.

Every time I tweet the updated COVID—19 data, I get replies from malfunctioning zombies “what about the long term sufferers.”

Dunno. If lockdowns may have added 22K fatal ODs and 5K homicides in one year, no ons can imagine the long-term damage to 100Ks who suffer without death.

The “long term damage” of COVID-19 sufferers is an abstract, moving definition that can’t be tracked as permanent as deaths, and if an age group has “low” COVID deaths, then the “long-term” numbers are “low” too or else more in this group would die. (Low as in relative terms.)

99.1% children deaths in the US since the start of last year are not Coronavirus and 99.3% Coronavirus deaths in the US are not among children.

Does public health policy in your city and stats reflect this?

No.

Why not, especially that vaccines help adults?

Insane.
