@justinfreakin: RFK Blames Dr. Fauci For Drop In US Life Expectancy (UNC) Life expectancy at birth in the United States is now 76.1 years, the lowest level since 1996, according to a recentCDC report. Provisional data showed there was a 0.9 year drop in 2021. Paired with a 1.8 year drop in 2020, the U.S. experienced the biggest two-year decline in life expectancy since 1921-1923. Robert Hummer, Howard W. Odum Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Carolina Population Center faculty fellow. The Well sat down with Hummer to discuss reasons behind the steep decline, what these trends say about our society and what could be done to potentially push life expectancy back in the right direction. What is life expectancy? How is it calculated? Life expectancy is the average length of life that a hypothetical set of people would experience if they lived their entire life based on the age-specific mortality rates of a particular year. There’s a death rate for people who are between ages zero and one, people between ages one and two and so forth. Every year, those age-specific death rates change, and life expectancy is calculated based on those age-specific death rates in a single year. What factors led to this historic drop in U.S. life expectancy? Life expectancy in the U.S. declined nearly two years from 2019-20 and approximately one year from 2020-21. Over the last two years, then, we’ve experienced nearly a three-year decline in life expectancy. That is an enormous drop; we had not seen something like that in the U.S. for many decades. Obviously, we have to think about COVID-19. The U.S. experienced a tremendous amount of COVID-19 mortality both in 2020 and 2021. We’re seeing that in 2022 to date as well. But the story is not all COVID-based. We’ve also seen increases in rates of mortality due to drug-related deaths, suicide, liver disease, traffic accidents, homicides and even heart disease over the last two years. #covid #rfk #newsupdate
