2022 vs New Normal™ for people aged 55-59 in Massachusetts
1,210 of 2,988 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
40.50% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
This is up 5% compared to Old Normal rates.
1,152 of 2,880 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
58 more deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
108 more All Cause deaths in 2022.
106 fewer deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
509 fewer All Cause deaths over the first 8 years of Massachusetts’s New Normal™.
To show this year’s deaths from Unknown Causes are up 5% compared to Old Normal rates, we need to calculate the rates for both 2022 and for the Old Normal.
Remember, death rates are calculated to answer these questions:
Population – Male – Aged 55-59 – [2000-2022] | Massachusetts, United-states
From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 1,210 of 479,734 people aged 55-59 living in Massachusetts died from Unknown Causes.
1,210 ÷ 479,734 = 0.00252 (2022 CDR)
We’ll use the table below to calculate our Old Normal rate for deaths from Unknown Causes

The table shows there were a total of 14,565 deaths from Unknown Causes among 6,063,097 people aged 55-59 living in Massachusetts in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.
14,565 ÷ 6,063,097 = 0.00240 (Old Normal CDR)
We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:
2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths
479,734 X 0.00240 = 1,152 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:
1,210 – 1,152 = 58
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:
1,210 ÷ 1,152 = 1.0456
This reveals 58 lives lost and is 104.56% of what we expected (an increase of 5%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among people aged 55-59 living in Massachusetts in 2022, as compared to the Old Normal.

This is the same method used by Public Health to calculate the 5-yr CDR (Cumulative Death Rate):
8,090 ÷ 3,435,586 = 0.00235 (5-yr CDR)
479,734(2022 pop) X 0.00235 = 1,130 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
1,210 – 1,130 = 80 or 80 lives lost
Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:
1,210 ÷ 1,130 = 1.0666 or an increase of 7%
for deaths from Unknown Causes among people aged 55-59 living in Massachusetts in 2022, as compared to the previous 5 years.
Compare our Old Normal to the 5yr CDR. Does it tell the same story your TV does?
Finally, the same method can also be used to compare our Old Normal rate to the New Normal™ rate:
New Normal™ population X Old Normal rate = expected deaths
3,915,320 X 0.00240 = 9,406 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
9300 – 9,406 = -106 or 106 lives saved
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:
9,300 ÷ 9,406 = 0.9847 or a decrease of 2%
in deaths from Unknown Causes among people aged 55-59 living in Massachusetts in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.

The world has been led to believe that a deadly pandemic swept the globe beginning in 2020, causing an increase in death rates, especially among the elderly
The data show that death rates began to increase in 2015, immediately upon implementation of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, that young adults have experienced ever-increasing death rates since, and that death rates among the elderly have remained relatively stable.
Browse through the age-categorized charts below to see the evidence of this. Click on any chart to see the full analysis for each age group.
Deaths/100,000 male 55-59 from Unknown Causes
