Death rate spikes for young adults, report shows

The story is about what they refused to report about the cause of death of young people.

“The death rate for Californians, as well as Americans in general, between the ages of 15 and 44 is far higher now than it was before the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a new report from the Legislative Analyst’s Office. Striking demographic disparities exist as the trend seems to be most pronounced among men, Native Americans, and Black people, as well as those who live in rural northern counties and those in the lowest-income ZIP codes.

Breaking down the recent spike by cause of death, the LAO finds that drug overdoses account for about 60%, while alcohol-induced deaths and motor vehicle crashes each account for 10%.”

That accounts for 70%.  Why didn’t they note the number of young people who died due to taking the untested COVID vaccine?  Why aren’t they reporting the long term heart problems of young men?  Notice how many young male athletes die, without a cause of death given.  We do know that at one point the CDC data showed that 10,000 people died due to taking the vaccine.  At that point they stopped making public the data.  Hopefully, RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary will expose the full extent of the vaccine and people dying.

The death rate for Californians, as well as Americans in general, between the ages of 15 and 44 is far higher now than it was before the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a new report from the Legislative Analyst’s Office. Striking demographic disparities exist as the trend seems to be most pronounced among men, Native Americans, and Black people, as well as those who live in rural northern counties and those in the lowest-income ZIP codes.

Breaking down the recent spike by cause of death, the LAO finds that drug overdoses account for about 60%, while alcohol-induced deaths and motor vehicle crashes each account for 10%. 

One of the key factors fueling the overdose trend, often known as “deaths of despair,”  has been the emergence of fentanyl in California’s illicit opioid markets. Speeding and other risky driving behaviors may well have also played roles in car crash deaths.

The rise of young adult mortality presents major challenges for the Legislature to tackle through policies and programs related to drugs, alcohol and traffic safety, the report suggests. A key purpose of the analysis was  to paint a broader picture of these tragedies than might be viewed through a policy lens. The Legislature could look for opportunities to address young adult mortality through health policy and public safety policy, the report concludes.
