Let me start off with a hat tip to “Political Statistics”, whose Substack article about the US CDC All-Cause Mortality dataset inspired me to do some digging and analyzing of my own. You can read his article from October 27th here. I downloaded the dataset and spent several days working with it. When I was done summarizing, cross-tabbing, and of course, graphing, I had numbers more startling than I’d imagined. Indeed, as suggested in the title, I found that mortality for the third quarter of 2021 was
The 0-14 year old age group normally are injected with a truckload of various vaccines, because they are safe and effective, of course. During the 2020-2021 time frame, due to lockdowns and restricted access to "normal" medical procedures, many of the 0-14 year olds didn't get those life saving vaccines. Yet, they had an improved rate of all cause mortality. Interesting.
Nice work. Hospital doctors were cutting patients' throats in Spring, 2020 - often killing them because mechanical ventilation was later shown to be overused. I wouldn't be surprised if medical decisions were even worse in 2021 as the COVID panic metastasized.
To put it in Pfizer-Trial type terms (i.e., to spin the data in the way most favourable to the thesis)... relative to 2015-2019, all-cause mortality in 2021Q3 was 30% 'more elevated' than 2020Q3.
I see a lot of silent ambulances, last 6 months...and wonder if they have been told to keep it quiet except through intersections. Wouldn't some US morticians speak up? or are they too busy...I know the UK mortician John O'Looney has spoken out alot, more should. This must be crazy for them and they have to know it is not Covid or Omnicron killng these folks.
This lines up with an article from an insurance company which said all cause deaths are up 40% in 18-64 age group from pre-covid levels. We know 85% of covid deaths are in the 75+ age group. We all know the cause. It’s sad it’s being let to happen if not pushed harder. Especially on kids. People need to wake up.. quick.
I'm surprised to see excess mortality in 2020. When I was looking at it last March/April it looked lower something like 48k a week instead of the 55-60k a week from previous years. I'm going on memory here.
So is the excess mortality for 2020 concentrated towards the end of the yar.

I had also looked at CDC all-cause deaths, and found a concerning lack of COVID seasonality for under-45s. https://norstadt.substack.com/p/are-the-usa-sacrificing-the-young
Great article, thank you!
Great post
Great post! Wondering if you could do an update with data for January that would include updated numbers, specifically for children?
That is so well done and explained. I thank you.

Safe and effective.
