There’s one group that’s not going to take the big increase in all-cause, non-Covid mortality lying down—the insurance companies that have to pay for it. From Greg Piper at justthenews.com:
Yale epidemiologist Harvey Risch cites explosion of “early unexpected mortality claims,” largely not COVID-related, that insurers are struggling to pay following alleged misrepresentations about “all-cause mortality” from clinical vaccine trials.
Yale University epidemiologist Harvey Risch is expecting insurers to seek financial compensation from COVID-19 vaccine makers to cover “early unexpected mortality claims,” as they “they have a major financial risk that they have to figure out how to manage.”
OneAmerica CEO Scott Davison told a healthcare conference in December that death rates had risen an “unheard of” 40% in the working-age people it insures compared to pre-pandemic rates, when a “one-in-200-year catastrophe” would only bring a 10% increase. Most claims aren’t filed as COVID-related deaths, he said.
Public records show that Lincoln National, a much larger insurer, reported a 163% increase in death benefits paid out in 2021, the first year of the COVID vaccines: $1.4 billion, compared to $500 million in pre-pandemic 2019 and $548 million in 2020.
