Dan Cohen now said that "There is no punishment severe enough in this world for the malevolent fraud @JesslovesMJK", because she said that the spike in deaths in young people during the Delta wave was not caused by opioids: <https://x.com/dancohen3000/status/2073823555918172508>;. She said that there was was a "surge of deaths in millennials, which are 25-to-44-year-olds - these are young people - 84% surplus in deaths in the fall of 2021". So she was talking about the spike in deaths in August to October of 2021.

Opioid deaths are stable over time, and they don't just suddenly shoot up in August 2021 and fall back down two months later. The spike in deaths during the Delta wave also occurred in elderly people, even though opioid deaths account for a very small part of all deaths in elderly people. And the spike was almost nonexistent in some northeastern states where there was a low number of COVID deaths during the Delta wave: <https://x.com/henjin256/status/2074116951194927259>;.

Ages 70 and above had more COVID deaths in 2020 than 2021, but ages below 40 had about 3 times as many COVID deaths in 2021 as 2020, because younger people had a lower vaccination rate than older people. So the spike in deaths during the Delta wave was particularly dramatic in younger people.
