Leading causes of death in the US. #COVID19 remains #4 in 2022, but I don't think that's the whole story. Notice the increase in accidents? COVID is known to damage brains. Or the increase in heart disease and strokes? COVID also harms hearts and blood vessels. No significant increase in cancer, yet, but we may week learn COVID is oncogenic in the years to come. Our goal in 2023 and beyond must be to get infected as infrequently as possible, not invite many infections per year.

@augieray what's missing is a split between unvaccinated covid and post-vaccinated 'covid' deaths.

@RobertWT There's plenty of data available demonstrating deaths are higher among the unvaccinated.
