Pg. 8: Alzheimer's Disease caused deaths for both males and females increased a fair bit! And for males, Unintentional Deaths also increased recently. Note that the Y-axis is in a LOG scale; any movement upwards is a lot.

Pg. 10: Yeah, Juul and the like really are hurting children. Grades 2 & 3 Obesity are increasing too. Both are not good.

Pg. 11: Asthma in black children has gone up a fair amount.

Pg. 14: West Coast and Virginian essential vaccination is under 2/3 babies (3 years or younger). That is WELL below herd immunity. New England, Deep South, and Plains states are above 3/4.

Pg. 21: Ages 15-44 have seen an uptick in mortality. Note: The y-axis is in LOG scale, so it's been a fair bit of an uptick.

Pg. 22: A big uptick in infant mortality due to unintentional injuries.

Pg. 23: ... Jesus ... a huge increase in child suicide rates and an increase in teen homicide and suicide rates. Note: The y-axis is in LOG scale.

Pg. 24: HIV deaths are WAY down (!), unintentional injuries and liver cirrhosis are up.

Pg. 25: Alzheimer's deaths in the elderly are up a fair amount.

pg. 26: Holy shit ... overdose rates are just ... wow ...

pg. 27: Appalachia and New England ... good Lord ... I mean, you hear things about it all, but wow.

pg. 29: Cirrhosis deaths in middle aged men are really climbing. The booze, it ain't good.

Aside: On the increases in 'unintentional death'. I get a whiff of the issues that Colorado Springs had with their teen suicide cell a few years back. The coroner, in deference to the religious families of the deceased, would label the deaths not as a suicide, but as something different. The problem became that since these deaths were not recorded properly, CDC officials were not alerted and the suicide cell was allowed to fester. There were a lot of kids that died as a result of that. The increase in 'unintentional deaths' may be something similar, where the coroners are recording the deaths in deference to the wishes of the family. I've not a shred of proof on this, but I get a strong smell of it from causally looking at the data.

For example, green leafy vegetables are complex carbohydrates. They have very little glycemic load and will not harm your liver.

Pretty much all carbs are bad news. Always subtract fiber content from carbs and what is left over, your liver and pancreas will be dealing with. Vegetables have a lot of fiber for example.

I read the charts a little differently - overall tobacco product usage has gone down quite significantly, with cigarettes and cigars driving the majority of that. I think it's a safe assumption to make that at least some of that drop is due to the switch to e-cigarettes like Juul. Obviously "how much" of that drop is due to the increase in e-cigarettes vs. the natural decline of smoking is in question, but I would not draw a conclusion that e-cigarettes are hurting children.

It wasn't a cover up, per se, just a compassionate coroner that unintentionally threw a wrench into the apparatus.

Compare it to the Palo Alto one from a bit ago:

Interestingly, unintentional injuries are climbing even more than homicide (and because this is a log-scale graph, they're increasing by much more in absolute numbers). I assume this category includes drug overdoses, which is probably a good part of it, but it would also include deaths due to car crashes, which have been increasing. Cars are especially getting more dangerous to those outside of them in crashes, as cars are only safety-rated to protect those inside of them, not unfortunate pedestrians and cyclists who might get mashed up against the increasingly flat and high grilles of SUVs and trucks out there.
