In the first year of the pandemic, we were told 400,000 people died of Covid-19 related fatalities in the United States. In the second year, despite vaccination levels getting to 60%+ throughout the country, we saw another 400,000 deaths attributed to the virus.
Across all ages, there was no change in mortality rate during the pandemic compared to 2017-2019, but with widespread lock-downs, vaccine mandates and beyond, we see a steep increase in non-covid death claims among younger adults in the US.
We’ve even seen steep increases in death claims in the life insurance industry during Q3 and Q4 of 2021 — the largest increase in insurance history.
As vaccination levels peaked in the third quarter in the US, we saw a concurrent 40% increase in death in previously Healthy individuals. These death claims were not related to Covid-19 on death certificates. Instead, we see stroke, heart attack, cardiac arrhythmias, blood clots, and neurologic events predominated in this increase. The scale of this unprecedented increase in death in these young demographics is four times greater than the 200-year crisis levels anticipated by insurance actuarial tables.
