More Americans aged 18–49 are dying than in years before, even if COVID-19 deaths are excluded. Such excess deaths reached their peak during summer and fall last year. They’ve since subsided but still remain in the thousands each month.

As The Epoch Times previously reported, the excess deaths are likely attributable to increases in drug overdoses, alcohol-related diseases, and homicide, as well as overlooked COVID-19 deaths, delayed consequences of the disease, and possible side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines.
