A good place to explore mortality in the United states is Ben's USMortality.com.

take a look specifically at https://www.usmortality.com/excess-percent

It does show excess mortality for 2021, you can select for example the 25-44 age group and see significant excess mortality along the lines of what your article suggests.

At first I thought that the article you cites was fake news -- it was so unbelievable -- but a quick check suggests that there is something going on of magnitude similar to what you described.

Huge peak around August, when vaccination of this age group was in full swing.

You might've seen this already, it's not peer reviewed but here's a paper with Norman Fenton where they found a correlation of mortality spikes with vaccine rollout - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/356756711_Latest_statistics_on_England_mortality_data_suggest_systematic_mis-categorisation_of_vaccine_status_and_uncertain_effectiveness_of_Covid-19_vaccination

Thanks for the links

Does this include COVID mortality though? Which I realize is exaggerated, but still would be contributing to numbers.

Sincere question - I have looked at the website in the past and wondered about that. Because of this note on the main page:

"United States reported 3,440,957 deaths of all ages for the year 2020. Expected deaths were 3,028,959. That is an increase of 411,998 deaths (+13.6%).

To date, for the year 2021, United States reported 3,280,066 deaths of all ages. Expected deaths thus far, were 2,849,782. That is an increase of 430,284 deaths (+15.1%)."

This almost exactly matches how many "Covid" deaths were recorded in the U.S. since the pandemic started...

this is the actual Indiana Chamber of Commerce meeting- see minute 23 for that CEO's part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AOHrZHG5L0

I watched the video from minute 21 and the same CEO prefaced his mortality data with his own business concern that he needs to get his employees back in the office, but the vaccinated employees don't want to share space with unvaccinated employees.

He said this while making zero connection that his own increased mortality data might be due to the effects of the vaccine that he now wants to require of his employees! He also wants to increase rates on employers in counties with low vaccination rates, obviously without making any connection with higher mortality possibly being caused by side effects of the vaccine!

If the vaccine is contributing to higher death rates, this insurance company is pricing their product exactly the opposite of what their data suggests!

What's' stunning to me is how vaccinated people are afraid of those who are not vaccinated. If the vaccine doesn't protect you from the unvaccinated, then what is the point of getting vaccinated? I know the mantra. It reduces the effects of getting the virus. Nevertheless, if this was true, then why the fear of being around those who are not vaccinated? Its as though the vaccines don't do anything useful.

It's classic Churchill .... It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

And maybe the vaxed have heard by now their immune system might be compromised making them all the more fearful. It really makes little sense to be fearful of the unvaxed who typically are healthier. Not only that, thwy are more likely to know they are sick and stay home while the unvaxed while still getting some protection from the vax, may have lesser symptoms and be fooled into thinking they are not very sick or can spread their illness. Wondering what is their thinking??

What is their thinking? Depends on what they've heard on TV that day.

Thank you, and will be interesting to see how many views accrue and when it gets taken down. 2074 views as of 1-3-21 5:41 pm. Who knew that a little conference call with Indy Chamber of Commerce could become such a hot topic?!

Thank you, and thanks Ben for this great resource. I've been trying to make this kind data for myself, but not doing nearly as good a job as this.
