The more socialized we become, the more life expectancy will drop

Since 2015, the United States has seen a historic decline in life expectancy, in large part driven by the opioid epidemic and then the COVID-19 pandemic.


quote:
The U.S. drop-off is mainly due to COVID-19. Increases in deaths due to the coronavirus disease accounted for just over half of the decline, according to the CDC. Since the pandemic’s start, COVID-19 has killed more than a million Americans, by far the highest reported death toll of any country; and in 2021, COVID-19 remained the third leading cause of death among Americans. But the CDC found that also higher was mortality due to unintentional injuries and heart disease, among other causes. The rise in unintentional injuries was driven by drug overdoses, as COVID-19 has exacerbated the country’s opioid epidemic.

Fentanyl and vaccines.

Both are products of the government's actions.

People are fat. Really fat. Most don’t live into their 80’s when obese.

Imagine if people still smoked. We would not even average 70 years

The whole "body positivity" bullshite plays a huge role in this too, IMO. We have a society of sedentary lifestyles as more and more people have started working in an office and not having to be on their feet.

Now, instead of telling obese people that they're dangerously unhealthy, society is encouraging them to be proud of who they are and stay fat and unhealthy.

You don't see many obese 70 year olds for a reason.

2020 saw twice as large of a drop as 2021, and there weren’t vaccines for the gen pop in 2020….

It’s pretty clear covid is the biggest indicator here. We have been fat for years. It didn’t start in 2020…..
