Health ‘Experts’ Are Killing Us

America’s public health “experts” somehow missed the biggest crisis in recent history: the cratering of US life expectancy to near three-decade lows, per recent data from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

The last time Americans on average were living shorter lives than today was in 1996. The drop puts us in the top six biggest declines globally, and leaves us overtaken by almost every other developed nation.

We’re 34th in the world on this metric, down 24 places since 2003. That’s behind Croatia, Colombia and China.

Yet while Americans’ base-level health was getting steadily worse, our scientific betters were demanding universal masking and vaccine mandates, closing businesses and shutting schools and letting the elderly die isolated in hospitals and care homes.

The “experts” demanded these measures to stop COVID. They failed, while masking what’s clearly a far larger and deeper threat.

Worse, one researcher doing work parallel to the OECD’s said that the data show that “premature deaths among Americans are a much larger and older public health issue than previously believed.”

Yet as heart disease and obesity ravaged this country, our elite public-health institutions shouted that “Racism is a public health crisis,” made sure that adolescents could get cross-sex hormones and handed out free needles to drug addicts.

In other words, expert opinion, yet again, completely missed the central problem: huge numbers of Americans dying early due to general ill health.

We need new experts. The ones we have are literally killing us.
