Abstract
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, increases in excess deaths led to a decline in life expectancy of 6.6 years for American Indian or Alaska Native populations, 4.2 years for Hispanic populations, and 4 years for non-Hispanic Black populations. The Covid-19 pandemic reversed more than 10 years of progress made in closing the gap in life expectancy between Black and white Americans and reduced the previous Hispanic mortality advantage by over 70%. [...]more than 200,000 American children lost their caregivers due to Covid-19, losses that were concentrated among children of color. [...]the first arms to get the jab were predominantly wealthy and white.
