Life insurance companies had budgeted a decrease in life insurance pay outs in Q3 2021 as compared to Q3 2022. This was based on the expectation that a mostly vaccinated population would have LESS deaths. I.e. You would expect more deaths (in 2020) before the introduction of the vaccine (in 2021)… not so they actually went up in 2021, and they are confused as to why … HMMM????

In a little-known Reuters story that garnered almost no attention in the corporate media, Dutch insurer Aegon revealed its third quarter, 2021 life insurance payouts skyrocketed 258% compared to third quarter, 2020 payouts. The difference, of course, is found in covid vaccines. In 2020, vaccines weren’t yet available, so payouts for Aegon only reached $31 million. But after three quarters of aggressive vaccinations throughout 2021, the death benefit payouts hit $111 million, an increase of 258%.
