I was able to find data from a state that would seem to fairly represent the rest of the country for analysis of death rates during the past few years. Here are the numbers:

Kansas deaths

Year Deaths Per Capita 2022 29,967 0.0102 2021 30,880 0.0106 2020 32,687 0.0112 2019 27,682 0.0095 2018 27,537 0.0098 2017 27,063 0.0093 2016 26,245 0.0090 2015 26,684 0.0092

As with the celebrity death data I posted a few weeks ago, there is an increase in the death rate in 2022, compared to pre-covid years, which would seem to be attributed to the covid shots themselves. What is interesting with this data set compared to the "celebrities", is that there is an increased rate of death for all three covid/post-covid years in Kansas, yet for celebrities, there was a drop in death rate in 2020, which I believe is because they stayed shut in (could afford it), and it wasn't until 2021 that their increased deaths showed up.

I encourage others to look into other states.
