Insurance Data Showing the U.S. Excess Death Crisis Slides Behind a $10,000 Paywall, by Mary Beth Pfeiffer

Are the actuaries trying to hide something? From Mary Beth Pfeiffer at rescue.substack.com:

An actuarial society’s research depicted a huge surge in non-covid deaths in young insured workers. Is it pulling back on sharing its findings?

Insured working-age people had the highest above-average death rates in this Society of Actuaries chart. Any figure above 100% is considered “excess” death. At 201%, the 35–44 age group has the “highest cumulative A/E [actual-to-expected ratios] during the pandemic,” the report states, “and has the highest non-covid excess mortality as well,” which is shown at right. The data should not be used to “validate a causal relationship” to covid vaccines, SOA advised.(Source: Society of Actuaries, May 2023)


The Society of Actuaries has put up a five-figure paywall for access to new reports on covid mortality that in the past have revealed shocking rates of above-normal, or “excess,” deaths. 

In a post on its website, the SOA—a national source of risk data for life insurers—said it will charge $10,000 for four updates of post-pandemic deaths through next February.  

“This new series of group life mortality quarterly reports and data are only available for purchase,” SOA communications manager, Michael Nowak, confirmed in an email. Previous reports—which showed young workers dying at far higher excess rates than senior citizens—are still available on the SOA website, he said, and new, less-technical ones will be released to the public at an unspecified time.

Some industry watchers suggested the non-profit society, whose members pays dues, may be trying to develop a new business model. But it also may be attempting to extract itself from the contentious and politically charged issue of excess deaths and, moreover, what is causing them.  

Nowak would not grant my request to interview an SOA official who recently told a trade publication that deaths in young insured adults in 2023 were still far above normal. “Very important information in our reports we’ve been studying,” the official told me before our communication was cut off.  

Moreover, in an email, Nowak included an advisory, writing, “Please know that the SOA Research Institute data and reports on COVID-19 mortality does not validate any claims made to suggest a causal relationship between COVID-19 vaccines and mortality.”   

I had not asked about such a relationship.
