CLAIM:An increase in death benefits paid out by life insurance providers inthe third quarter of 2021 in the United States provides evidence thatthe COVID-19 vaccines, which became widely available in 2021, led to aspike in deaths.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The claim wrongly attempts to tie COVID-19 vaccines to a surge in deaths in the U.S. in 2021.Insurance industry leaders say the delta variant of the coronavirus anddeferred medical care during the pandemic likely contributed to theincrease in deaths. Even as millions of people got vaccinated againstCOVID-19 in 2021, reports of death after vaccination remain extremely rare, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.
THEFACTS: As U.S. life insurance companies have reported a surge in deathsamong their customers amid the coronavirus pandemic, online blogs andsocial media posts are falsely attributing the deaths to COVID-19vaccines
