COVID-related deaths in that age group account for just a minority of the excess deaths.
The total number of excess deaths, or the number of deaths above the prior three-year average, for 2020 and 2021 combined is 4,467.
COVID-related deaths in the past two years total about 1,700 for that age group.
Subtracting the 1,700 COVID deaths from the excess death total of 4,467 leaves 2,767 excess deaths for 2020 and 2021 that are not categorized by IDPH, meaning the causes of death for the excess 2,767 are not described.
"Opioid deaths, violence, etc., as a result of COVID [policies], because that's a very large increase." While COVID-19 is listed as the third leading cause of death in Illinois for all ages in 2020, the leading cause of deaths IDPH lists for those 18 to 44 is accidents, assaults, suicides and heart disease.
Causes of deaths for all of 2021 were not yet available, with the exception of opioid overdose deaths, but that data is only available for the first three quarters of the year.
Recent analysis shows COVID-19 deaths among those who are vaccinated make up 38% of the the total number of COVID deaths over the past four weeks.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
