National Public Radio carried a story March 25 saying that life expectancy in the United States is declining at an alarming rate compared to other “wealthy” countries. Researchers for the Journal of the American Medical Association, the National Academy of Science, funded by the National Institutes of Health are all decrying how the US life expectancy is lower than that of Cuba, Lebanon and Czechia. They talk about how American children are less likely to live to age five than children in other countries and that people are being killed in the US before age 50—pointing to teen pregnancy, drug overdoses, HIV, fatal car crashes, injuries, and violence—they specifically stated semi-automatic weapons and mass shootings.
In typical fashion, the researchers seemed to discount the leading cause of death, heart disease, and focus on social aspects—lack of universal healthcare, gun ownership, racial disparities, etc. One researcher said that “Two years difference in life expectancy probably comes from the fact that firearms are so available in the United States.” This is an erroneous assumption. The Department of Justice documents approximately 9,000 gun-related deaths per year in the US. Drunk driving kills over 10,000 people a year. The Centers for Disease Control reports the five leading causes of death in the US are: Heart disease: 695,547; Cancer: 605,213; COVID-19: 416,893; Accidents (unintentional injuries): 224,935; and Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 162,890.
It’s difficult to meet the straight face test in saying guns and driving cause the life expectancy to be lowered, especially when there were over 416,000 deaths attributed to COVID. And we are seeing empirical evidence that COVID vaccines, having been thrust onto the US population by government, media, and drug company fear mongering, could be causing American life expectancy to tank. For example, statistics analyzed by Steve Kirsch—who the government, media, and drug companies label as a provider of COVID misinformation—indicate that among the COVID-vaxed aged 65 and younger, sudden death was the leading cause of death in 2021 and 2022, followed by cardiac-related death and cancer. Myocarditis killed more than COVID-19. This is not misinformation.
It’s confirmed by CDC’s own statistics as well as insurance actuaries, documenting a 40% mortality spike in working aged men and women. Instead of trying to make people believe that woke agenda items like driving gas-powered cars, owning guns, racial disparities, or not having socialist healthcare (which socialist healthcare in the US is the cause of many deaths and poor health), let’s look at the actual causes of death and be truthful about them. The numbers would show that there was a steep increase in the US death rate in just the last two years that has contributed to the decline in life expectancy. COVID treatments and vaccines were and are a major contributor. Colossians 2:8 says, “Beware lest anyone take you captive through philosophy and empty deceit.” Don’t let these people take you captive with their half-truths and lies.
