Insurance Industry Execs ‘Alarmed’ by Surge in Deaths Among Young People — But Stop Short of Blaming COVID Shots
November 6, 2023
Executives at the largest insurance companies in the United States are alarmed that teenagers, young and white-collar Americans in the prime of life are inexplicably dying at a record pace, causing a “monumental outflow” of death claims and drag on profits that is shaking the industry and causing some to take a fresh look at the problem. According to an Oct. 26 report in InsuranceNewsNet, U.S. insurance companies expected higher-than-normal payouts from excess deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic. Insurers saw death benefits rise 15.4% in 2020, the biggest one-year increase since the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic, followed by a record $100.28 billion — nearly double the historic norm — in total death benefits paid out by the industry in 2021. “The numbers were naturally forecasted to climb during the pandemic, but some industry and health authorities are concerned the rates haven’t greatly diminished as COVID infection rates have declined,” InsuranceNewsNet reported. According to InsuranceNewsNet, insurers are especially concerned by data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that show “mortality rates alarmingly rising for different categories,” including younger adult mortality rates that are up more than 20% above historic norms in 2023. The CDC numbers reported in August show the death rate for Americans ages 15-45 rose 20-24% above normal in 2020, and soared in 2021, to a nearly 30% death increase for 15-year-olds and a more than 45% increase for 45-year-olds.
Yet in its latest report issued in May, the SOA Research Institute found no connection between the historic U.S. death rates and insurance payouts starting in 2021 and COVID-19 vaccine mandates that rolled out the same year. Chow blamed the excess deaths and claims on “the ripples of COVID-19 and its varying impacts, leading to higher rates of depression, suicide, and increased substance abuse.” Other insurance executives told The Wall Street Journal they blamed “delays in medical care as a result of lockdowns in 2020, and then, later, people’s fears of seeking out treatment and trouble lining up appointments” for a surprising surge in non-COVID-19 death claims, especially heart and circulatory issues and neurological disorders.

Victim's family, friend speak out after man dies suddenly in San Francisco
November 3, 2023
A San Francisco man was remembered Thursday night in the Mission District. He died after suddenly collapsing at Golden Gate Park. Gary Hobish created a name for himself in the music industry as a longtime sound engineer for bands throughout the years. Hobish was remembered Thursday night at the Make-Out Room in San Francisco with family and friends sharing memories and t-shirts after the musician died suddenly over the weekend. Hobish was taking part in his weekly swing dancing session with friends at Golden Gate Park, when he suddenly collapsed and hit his head on the way down. The cause of the collapse is still unknown. Tova Shinall, the victim’s sister, told NBC Bay Area that it could be tied to a genetic heart condition. Ambulances were called immediately to the scene, but Tim O’Brien, one of Hobish’s friends sprinted to the nearby de Young Museum to see if they had a defibrillator. O’Brien said the staffer located a defibrillator but stopped short of giving it to him. The staffer decided to run it by his supervisor and five minutes later, denying the request. “Here is the staffer walking away with his AED in hand. I took a photo because I was in such disbelief and shock about what was happening," he said.
No age or cause of death reported.
From our researcher:
I think the title of this article is very telling. The definition of a “victim” is “One who is harmed or killed by another, especially by someone committing a criminal or unlawful act.” Are we to the point that we subconsciously attribute sudden deaths to a criminal or unlawful act? Perhaps by Big Pharma? Nothing about loosing consciousness and needing a defibrillator while dancing fits the definition of a “victim”. While the museum not sharing its defibrillator was perhaps tragic, there is nothing criminal or unlawful about the act, and paramedics were already on the scene. So who exactly is the perpetrator of this crime?

Three coaches “died suddenly”:
Former head football coach Carl Torbush dies from ALS
November 6, 2023
When was the last time UNC ended a season with just one loss? You’d have to retreat all the way back to 1997, when Carolina defeated Virginia Tech in the Gator Bowl. Who was the head coach back then? Carl Torbush, who rose from defensive coordinator when current head coach Mack Brown departed for Texas. If you remember Torbush, I’ve got some bad news for you. He passed away on Monday, Nov. 6, a week after being diagnosed with ALS. It’s never easy to live with ALS, a rapidly-moving disease which can quickly take away one’s mobility and most functions.
No age reported.
A note from our researcher:
There seems to be more and more cases of “turbo” ALS in addition to cancers. According to ALS.org, “What differs most for every person is how fast and in what order symptoms and progression occur. And, while the average survival time is three years, about 20% of people with ALS live five years, 10% survive 10 years and 5% live 20 years or longer.” To die a week after diagnoses is turbo indeed.
Another “turbo ALS” victim:

October 29, 2023
State College, Pennsylvania - Ryan Edward Russell, renowned designer, entrepreneur, educator and most recently, best-selling children's book author and illustrator, peacefully passed away at home in State College, PA, on Monday after bravely battling brain cancer for the last 17 months. He was 41. Ryan became one of the youngest tenure-track professors in Penn State history when he joined the Graphic Design faculty in 2007 and quickly made a name for himself as a tough, demanding, yet highly sought-after educator. Ryan spent over 17 years inspiring, mentoring, and leaving an indelible impact on the thousands of students who sat in his classroom and went on to have careers at some of the world's best design studios and most well-known companies.
Note: Penn State "encouraged" the jabs:
Based on anonymous polls conducted by the university, Penn State’s decision to “heavily incentivize” the vaccine — as opposed to requiring it — has seen some success. Some 82% of University Park students who responded to the poll say they’re vaccinated, while 93% of University Park faculty and staff say they’re vaccinated, according to data recently made public.

My dad was vaccinated after his brother died of Covid in the hospital. Covid hit a little too close to home and he thought it best to try to protect himself. I shared with him as much as I could the suspicions I heard from others that the vaccine was bad news, but to no avail, unfortunately. In his brother's case, I suspect the hospital, like so many others, hastened his demise. He ended up brain-dead and his immediate family chose to take him off life support. My dad seemed to be okay after he was vaccinated, even though he had a number of pre-existing serious health conditions. Then, about a year later, he died suddenly. The autopsy revealed his cause of death was likely the result of pulmonary thromboembolism. Peter McCullough has stated that 74% of people who've died after vaccination likely die from the complications caused by the vaccine. I'm not sure which side of that percentage my dad was on, but I have my suspicions. Hopefully the anomalous nature of so many healthy people suddenly passing will cause those who've survived to reconsider their understanding of what has happened since Dec 2020 and identify the vaccine as the antagonist in their personal narrative.
The kids are the ones that get me. They didn’t have a choice. I remember seeing a teenage boy in the CVS pharmacy in 2021 waiting for the injection. He looked scared. I wanted to go over to him and tell him to run away and not let them inject him. I can still see the look of fear on his face. He knew that something bad was happening to him.
