Some more stats on the much higher mortality risk among African Americans. I should note these rates are still extremely low. My main reason for including mortality stats for whites and young whites was to perhaps influence people who happen to be white to not be so afraid of this virus ...

While my analysis focusses primarily on those at or under the white median age of 44, the disproportionate percentage of deaths among minority races in older age cohorts is also striking. For example, according to a June 16th Brookings Institute’s analysis of COVID deaths, “Among those aged 45-54 … Black and Hispanic/Latino death rates are at least six times higher than for whites …”

Odds a White American 44 or younger will die from COVID-19: 1-in-99,393

Math: Estimated 114.7 million white Americans age 44 or younger divided by 1,154 COVID deaths in this same age-and-race cohort = 99,393.

Odds a Black American 44 or younger will die of COVID-19: 1-in-8,192.

Math: Estimated 15.37 million Black Americans age 44 or younger divided by 1,876 Covid deaths in the same age-and-race cohort = 8,192.

In the entire country over the last eight months (through Oct. 28), only 85 white Americans under the age of 25 had died from or with COVID. The population of white Americans under the age of 25 is approximately 62 million, which makes the “25-and-under” mortality rate for white Americans .00002.

Odds a White American under the age of 25 will die from COVID-19: 1-in-729,411

Math: 85 deaths divided by 62 million people in this age/racial demo - stats through Oct. 28.

Some more data on differences in mortality among the races:

COVID Deaths by Race, Under 45 (Updated through Nov. 12)

Total deaths: 6,035

Hispanic/Latino: 3,112 (46.85 percent of all deaths in this age category).

Black: 1,834 (27.61 percent of all deaths in this age category).

Whites: 1,089 (16.39 percent of all deaths in this age category).

- Blacks and Hispanics/Latinos comprise approximately 31.9 percent of the U.S. Population. However, these races account for 74.5 percent of all COVID fatalities in the 45-and-under age cohort.

Whites, who comprise 60.1 percent of the population, account for just 16.39 percent of COVID deaths in the 45-and-under age category.

A good demonstration on how the narrative we were sold isn't backed up by the numbers. Actually nothing backed up what was stated and if more people took the time to look into what was being sold they may not have bought it.

Speaking of the Spanish flu, I'd like to direct the readers to a piece I wrote last week on my Substack that may help fill in some other pieces in the Covid for sale-a-thon that we were subjected to: https://stevekarpmd.substack.com/p/kept-hidden-in-plain-sight

Keep up the good work Bill, and know you're not the only one finding use for insights that others for some reason have a blind spot toward.

The truth holds up well after almost 2 years.

Since actual Covid deaths are unknown and most certainly wildly overstated, the odds of dying from the disease are probably much lower than the writer indicates.

Very thorough analysis; good job. Sorry, but publishing 2 yrs. ago most wouldn’t belief this statistics over the fear factor ones. Some of us were fooled early then started catching on.

Many many of those deaths were not “killed by covid.” but were caused by awful treatments or none at all. Patriot docs figured out the virus patterns quickly & used experience, consults w/ other docs, common sense, etc to start treatments that worked. They also pleaded for early treatments not “go home, take ibuprofen; IF you can breathe then come back.”

Treat early was KEY; and using the Zelenko Protocol as well as other similar ones saved lives!!

Following the CDC hospital directives were the opposite of what was effective. Hospitals followed blindly & people died who didn’t need to.

Very nice.

Easy to understand, puts much into perspective.

Something sadly missing with today's instant gratification fear porn addiction.

Thx

I used Covid data from the state of Ohio, broken down by age group, to come up with similar results. An interesting comparison that I used in Covid lethality graphs was to compare the Covid mortality rate, by age, to the Social Security Administration's annual probability of death by age group. For all age groups under 70 years of age, the probability of dying in the next year from any cause was greater than dying after being infected with Covid.

Thanks for this. As for actual death rates two legislators in MN went through all MN Covid death certificates of 2020 and found that 40% were not from Covid but with Covid. Extremes were fresh water drowning, motorcycle accident, fall from a ladder, etc.

Even Dr Birx estimated it’d be at least 25% because that was the overstatement of AIDS deaths a few decades earlier, as AIDS deaths were also financially incentivized by governments.

For me the warning lights went off when I read about the Diamond Princess, the quarantined ship of Jan and Feb 2020. Initial reports came out in Mar and a formal report in June of 2020. Average age of passenger was 68, crew 38, no masking, social distancing, obsessive hand washing, common ventilation system, passageways, dining, exercise and entertainment areas,. 82% never tested positive, 0.8% hospitalized and 0.3% died. And those deaths occurred when the medical community was fighting the disease the wrong way.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it appears your very first stat, ".98 per cent" should be .098 per cent. Dunno if this is a typo or a math error, but I await your crosscheck.

I think the point on suicides was worth making even though it's a painful topic to think about. Certainly, the risk of college students dying from suicide is much greater than the risk of a college student dying from Covid. These policies probably dramatically increased this risk (suicide). It would be nice to read some journalism providing suicide statistics post-Covid. They have to have gone up significantly. If the stats don't show this, the stats are probably rigged.

Very well written and full of facts we can understand.

200,000 more US working age deaths in 2021 than in 2019, per the CDC. 32% increase over 2019. Yet the 85+ y.o. group only had a 7% increase over 2019. Weird, huh?

It gets even weirder. The CDC says that in 2021, covid mortality in the 85+ y.o. group FELL 28% while covid mortality in working age Americans DOUBLED. The head spins and the arms waggle.

Wonderful article and research. But "Google searches"

All do respect, really?
