Depression? Substance abuse? Lack of routine medical care? All are results of the non-scientific and frankly illegal lockdowns.

I can speak of one. My sister. 2020 Week 35. Alcohol.

I am trying to forgive, but I cannot forget.

It's clearly drugs, alcohol, depression, suicide. Then in 2021 we add in the vaccines. Sudden/unexplained deaths add an additional 10K.

Yes, I suspect its deaths of despair. The fact that the numbers are much worse for men than women also supports this, https://inumero.substack.com/p/covid-was-worse-for-men-covid-policy?r=tv61s&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source=

Despair and suicide. Here in Spokane we have almost daily bridge-jumping suicides, and uncounted quiet suicides. There is also an excess of wild car crashes with a suicidal flavor, but those are harder to define.

Would vaccine adverse events contribute in any way?

There is a great analysis that concluded 150,000 Americans have died from vaccines.

Possible answer: deaths from COVID vaccines, not COVID infection

Do we have all-cause mortality by vaccine status? Ideally would be broken down into never-vaccinated, one-dose-only, 2 doses within 14 days, 2 doses post-14-days, boosted within 14 days, and boosted post-14 days.

Perhaps the vaccines are killing people.

But re deaths of despair, my uncle recently died of a stroke after he stopped all his meds, because he couldn't stand the lockdowns and masking.

OD and suicide.

In addition to what Mike posted below, those under months of lockdowns are going to have immune systems that are out of shape as they have not been in contact with as many threats to keep them at their highest level of readiness.

Alcoholism, ODs, suicide, vaxx injury.

This is devastating.

Hmmm. What new thing have we recently introduced into the population that could affect people's health like this. Hmmm.
