What Killed Younger Americans In 2018-2021?

Below is a table of the 113 causes of death from CDC’s WONDER multiple cause database for the years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021. I encourage you to look through it to see if there are any trends we are overlooking.

Keep in mind that most of these causes of death are not determined by professional autopsies.

I’ve included the percentage change in deaths from each cause from 2018 to 2019, from 2019 to 2020, and from 2020 to 2021.

Looking at the % difference between 2018 and 2019 can suggest, assuming that sample size is large enough that we aren’t just looking at random fluctuations, if there appears to have been a long-term trend up or down. In general, though, 2018 and 2019 tended to be pretty similar.

In contrast, many kinds of death were up sharply in 2020 over 2019, for example, from COVID and an opaque catch-all category called “Other and unspecified infectious and parasitic diseases and their sequelae,” which I suspect is typically from damage done by COVID, although I’d be fascinated to learn more about it. My guess is that is often people telling the funeral director that their brother had been fighting Disease X (or Y or Z) for years, but then he got COVID and never got healthy enough again to keep up the fight against X, so the form says he died both of X and of “sequelae” to an infectious disease.

Keep in mind that this database counts multiple causes of death, which are trickier to think about statistically than single causes. (By the way, much of the methodological mess going on with FBI crime statistics is due to the FBI trying to switch local police departments over from reporting only the most serious crime in an incident to reporting multiple crimes in an incident, with a lot of local police departments not wanting to have to wrap their heads around the change.)

And in 2020 there was a historic jump in what you might call lifestyle deaths: e.g., diabetes, cirrhosis, homicides, “accidental poisonings” (drug overdoses, increasingly fentanyl), homicides, and car crashes, which seem to be related to the events of 2020, which might have included a broad moral breakdown.

2021 seemed a lot like 2020 except even worse, although usually not as much worse as 2020 compared to 2019. One worrisome exception, however, was “Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium,” which increased at an accelerating rate throughout the time period, including being up 32% in 2021 over 2020.

Pregnancy is serious stuff, so we need more research into what’s causing this growth in deaths. Is it the mRNA vaccine?

Septicemia is another cause that went up faster in 2021 than in 2020. Renal failure did too, although these are smaller.

If COVID vaccines were killing younger Americans rather than COVID, fentanyl, each other, etc., you’d expect low growth in deaths from 2019 to 2020 (the first year of COVID, with virtually no vaccinations) and then a sharp increase in deaths in 2021 over 2020 as vaccinations became widespread. The pregnancy numbers might fit that model, but I don’t see many others that do. Please look through the list for causes of death that might be blamed on the vaccines going up much more in 2021 than in 2020 and let us know of your findings in the comments.

Overall, deaths among Americans under age 45 increased 1% in 2019 over 2018, 20% in in 2020 over 2019, and 13% in 2021 over 2020.

Please note that this is a “multiple cause of death” table, with an average of 2.23 causes for each death being reported in 2018 and 2019 and 2.27 causes in 2020 and 2021.

Multiple causes of death went up 1% in 2019, 22% in 2020, and 13% in 2021.

Not counting covid causes of deaths and a vague category of “infectious disease sequelae,” which I’m guessing means mostly dying of covid later, causes of deaths among younger people were up 1% in 2019, 18% in 2020, and 8% in 2021.

No doubt, some readers are assuming that if they can’t find many line items fitting their preferred theory of recent history, such as this pattern of low growth in deaths in 2020 and high growth of deaths in 2021, it’s all part of a multi-year scheme by the CDC bean counters beginning in 2020 to forestall Steve Sailer from figuring out in 2023 this methodology and using it to expose what’s going on.

Perhaps.

But my impression is that government bureaucracies usually aren’t that farsighted.

And here are the comparable stats for Americans 45 and over:

Looking over the 45+ age range, one cause of death that might be associated with vaccines is “Diseases of pericardium and acute myocarditis,” which went up from 939 deaths in 2020 to 1079 in 2021. Myocarditis is a known possible side effect. Weirdly, though, deaths from this among under-45s dropped from 175 in 2020 to 158 in 2021, even though myocarditis is usually spoken of as a side effect of the vaccine among young men.

“Other and unspecified infectious and parasitic diseases and their sequelae” soared from four digits in 2019 to 352,583 and then again up to 402,966 in 2021. But this was less backloaded than among under 45s. Why? Perhaps because older people die faster, so a higher percentage of these cases occurred in 2020 than among younger people, who were more likely to tough it out into 2021. Anyway, this remains a category deserving more research. If you want to look into it, I’d appreciate it.

Cancer deaths among the older population were extremely stable from 2018 thru 2021.

Diabetes deaths shot up 16% in 2020 and 1% in 2021.

Malnutrition deaths have been rising steadily going back to 2019.

“Major cardiovascular diseases” were up 6% in 2020 and 0% in 2021.

Cerebrovascular disease was up 7% in 2020 and 2% in 2021.

COVID deaths went from 341,890 to 393,063.
