US Life Expectancy Continued To Fall In 2021
US life expectancy decreased from 78.86 years in 2019 to 76.99 years in 2020 to 76.60 years in 2021, a net loss of 2.26 years (approximately 27 months).

My internet server is refusing me access to read this press report. The title and sub-title sum it up.
Pre-2020, large increases in drug overdoses, suicides and homicides were main drivers for the drop in US life expectancy in 2019.
In 2020 and 2021, covid deaths plus more increases in drug overdoses, suicides and homicides were main drivers to the continuing decline in US life expectancy.
American life expectancy dropped 2.26 years from 78.86 years in 2019 to 76.99 years in 2020 to 76.60 years of age in 2021.
Yes, it is a fact that the US government “saves” over $100 billion per year for each year lost in US life expectancy (mostly from “savings” in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the V.A. and FERS).
Yes, it is a fact that US government officials have both the means and the motives to cut US life expectancy by 2.26 years (or more). But, simply because they have the means and the motives is not proof beyond any shadow of a doubt that Uncle Sam did it, that US government officials mass murdered millions of Americans just to save a couple hundred billion dollars per year in “costs.”
Does mass murder really sound like something top US government officials, the US military and the alphabet soup of US agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA, DIA, DHS, etc. etc.) would do anywhere in the world, let alone here in the USA?
Who could even picture US government officials being such calculated cold-hearted ruthless mass murderers who would mass murder millions of Americans just to make (or “save”) money? $200+ billion dollars per year is a lot of money, but it’s still not proof beyond any shadow of a doubt that US government officials dunnit.
A fascinating caveat is that the Soviet Union experienced a decline in life expectancy in 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1991 when they shattered and collapsed.
4 years of life expectancy declines during a governmental economic crisis and then they shattered and collapsed. The United States is now in its’ 4th year of life expectancy declines. Tens of thousands of covid deaths will happen in the US in 2022 plus over 100,000 drug overdoses plus over 50,000 suicides plus well over 10,000 homicides ….. car crash deaths are on the increase in the USA too, in 2021 and 2022, after decades of declines.
2.26 years less lifetime for Americans since January 2019. That’s news.
