Of the 565, there were only 4 people we were not able to locate. They had no social media nor internet search information to allow us to locate them. Of the remaining 561, we knew that 32 had died before our 40th reunion. Of the remaining 529, we had contact information from 10 years ago. When we reached out to them to verify the contact information and inform them of the day, time, and location of the reunion, we found that another 227 of them had died and 212 of them died between 2021 and 2024. The stories were eerily similar. Sudden heart attacks or heart disease, cancers diagnosed at stage 3 or worse, and sudden strokes. Of those still alive, a third stated that they would be unable to attend due to recent and severe health situations. I know that this information in anecdotal, but what conclusions would you draw from these numbers. Is this usual health situations for a group of people approaching their 68th birthdays or do you think there is something more to this? I ‘m interested to read your comments.

Wow. Less than 1% passed away prior to the 40th, and then more than 40% of the rest passed between 2021 and 2024.
Seems awfully high even for someone in that age group.
Agree. Numbers don't lie. But that's also very dismaying that this age group trusted the vaccine enough to take it. I expect that from 70+ because for them polio was fresh in the rear view mirror.
I'm 60 so a little younger and I have the opposite mentality, and I honestly think it harkens back to the "just say no" to experimental drugs program. The vaccine was an experimental drug, so I said no. The program worked!
I remember something about not giving in to peer pressure...
Actually 212 out of 565 is under 40%, but that's still a lot compared to the previous 45 years.
Did the 212 live in the same general area? That would make them more likely to have gotten the same bad batches.
No, about 40% still lived in NE Ohio. The other 60% were spread throughout the country.
Damn. My math sucks.
Thanks for the correction.
Hmmm .. it’s almost like something happened around 2021 that accelerated deaths.
