I mean a lot of countries have seen reduced lifespans due to Covid. Not sure why you’d call out the US or blame capitalism.

And? The countries with the highest lifespans are capitalist.

That doesn't explain Cuba, China, Malaysia, and other countries with huge amounts of state controlled enterprise.

China and Malaysia are capitalist, and none of those aforementioned countries are in the top 25 for life expectancy. China isn't even in the top 50, and Cuba is ranked below the US. Swing and a miss.
