So the current new panic mongering is over how the Covid-19 virus has decreased life expectancy by 1.5 years.
The first year of the pandemic reduced Americans’ life expectancy at birth by 1.5 years, to 77.3 years. That erased the country’s gains since 2003. It was the largest annual decline since 1943, in the middle of World War II. Goldman said that it was the second largest decline since the 1918 influenza pandemic, which is believed to have killed some 50 million people worldwide.
Omg! The second largest decline since the Spanish Flu! It must be equivalent right?
Wrong.
The life expectancy drop from the 1918 virus was 6.8 years (54-47.2). Furthermore the 1.5 year drop is only a 1.9% drop in life expectancy. Meanwhile the Spanish flu drop was a 12.6% drop in life expectancy.
This again is in track with the 1:5 ratio of deaths/population comparing Covid to the Spanish Flu. The ratio difference here being 1:6.6
I wonder how much of that amount is actual covid and how much is the government's "handling" of covid.
The US had an extra 30k (1/3 increase) substance abuse deaths, so a non-trivial portion.
Add in the lack of exercise and general weight gain, and you've probably explained half of that.
The other half would be people with non-COVID illnesses being denied (or denying themselves) healthcare due to fear.
And just to be clear, those people are all ages. A 20 year-old dying to a drug overdose is hugely more years of life lost and has many more times of an impact on life expectancy statistics than an 85 year old dying to the wuhan virus in a nursing home.
And that's just counting the deaths that have already happened. Deaths due to the effects of the lockdown will continue for decades, because it's not like all those jobs lost and all those businesses destroyed will just reappear where everything left off tomorrow.
The lockdown was hugely more dangerous than the disease.
Don't forget the 30% murder increase in 2020: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/there-no-modern-precedent-american-murder-rate-soars-30-2020
In Canada, lockdowns killed far more of those under 65 than covid did.
Between suicides, overdoses, lower QOL due to isolation, not seeing friends, family and the fucking sun, I'd imagine there's a fair amount that could be blamed on handling
Don't forget the 1.5 years people haven't been able to actually live their lives because the government told them they couldn't. They're never getting that time back.
So we've effectively reduced everyone's usable life by 1.5 years in an attempt to stave off a 1.5 year drop in average life expectancy. Well done "experts": you really earned your paycheck on that one.
Based on miscarriage rates, the real "life shortener" is probably the vaxx.
Anyways, life expectancy for whites was already decreasing in the US thanks to meth and fentynal. Good to see everyone else catching up. That's equality, right?
Q: How do you design a test to identify something that has not been isolated?
A: You can't, you first must fully identify what you are looking for.
Q: How do you design a test to identify spike proteins or antibodies allegedly created by something that has not been isolated?
A: You can't, you must first identify the agent that creates the spike proteins or antibodies and than demonstrate the process to create them by (1) isolating the agent, (2) introducing the agent to a body, and (3) witnessing the body producing spike proteins or antibodies.
These are facts. Do your own research. Do not ask me to prove what can readily be discovered on your own.
Who are you quoting there? That sounds like disinfo trying to make boomer cons look stupid.
Here's a random result I just now found in a web search. One of many pages claiming the same thing.

Typical shill need not reply with:
The Sars-Cov-2 virus has been isolated
The vaccines for Sars-Cov-2 are safe and effective
PCR tests are accurate at detecting the Sars-Cov-2
US life expectancy has declined consistently since 2014. This past year isn't an aberration, it's a continuation of the trend.
I am so sick of "life expectancy" bullshit. You have no life expectancy. The wuflu didn't take years away from you, the government did. The last year from you, in fact.
Interesting that Covid primarily kills people who are past the average life expectancy, or very close too.
