Bruh, Some may have been due to COVID. Although the decline is more of an indication that long term damage is not a concern (otherwise it would continue to rise). In conflict with the OP’s stance is that the decline has come at the same time that vaccination has dropped off a cliff.
A more likely factor is things like obesity and drug abuse during lockdowns (and the increased use of fentanyl in the illicit drug supply). Drug abuse causes heart damage (remember George Floyd’s autopsy report and the pre-existing heart damage from drug abuse).
The rise in fentanyl / opiate use overall corresponds to a rise in cardiac deaths among young adults that has been taking place over the past dozen or so years (long before COVID):
Bruh
The rises in cardiac deaths starting in 2020 is markedly steeper than the change in prior years
Drug use hasnt nearly increased enough since 2020 to account for the cardiac deaths
Acute opiate overdoses would not be classified as a cardiac death.
Try again.
