CDC says YES, the number of working-age people who died in September 2021 was shocking, but says there's no way to tie it to Covid vaccines

In September of this year, I interviewed Bob Anderson, the chief of mortality data for the National Center for Health Statistics, which is the branch of the CDC that compiles and reports out health statistics — including the number of Americans who die of each cause of death every year.

In the phone interview, I pressed Anderson for information about who is investigating the sharp increase in deaths of working-age Americans in 2021.

This is what I asked at the outset of our conversation:

“My big question is whether either the CDC or FDA or both are investigating the increase in all-cause mortality, in particular in 2021, the part that isn’t attributable to Covid-19, and whether either agency is specifically monitoring all-cause, excess mortality for safety signals related to the Covid-19 vaccines.”
