WSJ Article Highlights That Cardiovascular Disease Cause More Deaths Every Year, Than Covid-19 Has at its Worst

“Stopping a Pandemic Deadlier Than Covid”

“Cardiovascular disease kills more people each year than Covid at its worst. We know how to prevent it. We just need the political will.”

Excerpt from the article:

“First, some basics. In the first two years of the pandemic, Covid killed nearly 900,000 people in the U.S. In those same years, heart attacks and strokes killed more than 1.6 million. Globally, Covid killed more than 10 million people in the first two years of the pandemic; in the same two years, cardiovascular disease killed more than 35 million. The three leading drivers of heart attacks and strokes—accounting for around two-thirds of the global total—are tobacco use, hypertension and air pollution, and all three are preventable.”
