Real Risks: The Hidden Numbers That Could Save Your Life (And Your Money)

Wake up. The system isn’t telling you the truth about what’s really happening in America right now.

I’m about to share statistics with you that every single American should know but probably doesn’t. These aren’t conspiracy theories or fear-mongering headlines. These are cold, hard facts from government agencies and medical journals that could literally save your life and protect your financial future.

Your Doctor’s Office Is More Dangerous Than You Think

Here’s a number that should terrify you: 251,000 Americans die every year from medical errors. That’s nearly 700 people dying every single day from mistakes that shouldn’t happen. To put this in perspective, that’s like a fully loaded Boeing 747 crashing every single day of the year, killing everyone on board.[1][2]

But wait, it gets worse.

Adverse drug reactions are now the third leading cause of death in the United States, killing over 250,000 people annually. Think about that. The medications your doctor prescribes to help you are literally killing more Americans than strokes, car accidents, or gun violence.[3][4]

Recent analysis from the CDC’s database reveals a 17.19% annual increase in iatrogenic error-related mortality from 2015 to 2020. The FDA documented over 1.25 million serious adverse events and nearly 175,000 deaths in 2022 alone, but here’s the kicker: More than 94% of adverse drug reactions aren’t even reported.[4][5][6]

That means what we’re seeing is just the tip of the iceberg.

The Infant Mortality Crisis Hidden in Plain Sight

Now here’s where things get really disturbing. While health officials keep telling you everything is fine, the numbers tell a completely different story. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) rates spiked dramatically during the pandemic. According to research published in JAMA Network Open, the risk of SUID increased by 9% and SIDS by 10% in 2021 compared to pre-pandemic levels.[7][8]

But here’s what’s really troubling: The U.S. infant mortality rate increased 3% from 2021 to 2022—the first year-to-year increase since 2001-2002. We’re talking about 20,538 infant deaths in 2022, up from 19,928 in 2021.[10][11]

The neonatal mortality rate (deaths in the first 28 days) increased 3% from 2021 to 2022. The postneonatal mortality rate jumped 4%. These aren’t random fluctuations—they represent thousands of babies who died when they should have lived.[11][10]

What changed during this period? Mass mRNA vaccination of pregnant women began in earnest in 2021. While studies funded by pharmaceutical companies claim no connection, the timing correlation is undeniable. Over 14,000 deaths have been reported to VAERS following COVID-19 vaccination, though the CDC maintains these don’t prove causation.[12][13]

Independent researchers point to concerning patterns, but their voices are systematically suppressed. Meanwhile, 87.5% of hospitalized infants under 6 months had mothers with no documentation of COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy, yet somehow we’re told maternal vaccination protects infants.[14]

The Disability Explosion Nobody Wants to Discuss

The disability statistics in America are staggering, and they’re getting worse fast. 13% of the population now has a disability—that’s over 40 million Americans. But here’s what’s really alarming: 75% of people with disabilities aren’t even in the workforce.[15][16]

The employment-population ratio among disabled individuals increased by 6.2 percentage points between 2019 and 2024. While some spin this as progress, it actually means millions more Americans became disabled and are struggling to work.

People with disabilities face an unemployment rate of 7.5%—nearly twice the rate of those without disabilities. This isn’t just about individual tragedy—it’s about a healthcare system and work environment that’s literally disabling Americans at unprecedented rates.[15]

The Housing Market Collapse They Don’t Want You to See

While the media talks about “soft landings” and “market corrections,” the real numbers paint a terrifying picture. Mortgage delinquency rates have hit levels not seen since 2011, with 4.04% of all loans now past due.[18][19]

But here’s the bombshell: Multifamily mortgage delinquencies are now higher than during the Great Recession. We’re talking about apartment buildings, condos, and rental properties—the backbone of America’s housing supply—defaulting at rates that exceed the 2008 financial crisis.[20]

In Louisiana, serious mortgage delinquencies jumped 1.87% year-over-year. Florida saw a 1.43% increase, Oklahoma 1.24%, and Georgia 1.12%. These aren’t small numbers when you’re talking about people losing their homes and entire communities collapsing.[21]

Early-stage mortgage delinquencies posted the largest month-over-month increases of any debt type in May 2025. This is particularly notable since borrowers typically prioritize mortgage payments over other debts. When people start defaulting on mortgages, it means they’re completely out of options.[22]

The Real Enemy: Information Control

Here’s what really pisses me off about all this: You’re not supposed to know these numbers.

The medical establishment doesn’t want you asking hard questions about why infant mortality is suddenly spiking or why adverse drug reactions are the third leading cause of death. The real estate industry doesn’t want you knowing about the delinquency crisis that’s about to make 2008 look like a warm-up. The government doesn’t want you understanding how many Americans are becoming disabled at unprecedented rates.

They want you dumb, dependent, and distracted so you’ll make emotional decisions instead of logical ones.

Take Control of Your Life Right Now

Stop being a victim of systems that profit from your ignorance.

For Your Health:
1. Question every medication and procedure—research everything yourself
2. Understand that hospitals and doctors make mistakes that kill 700 Americans daily
3. If you’re pregnant, research maternal vaccination risks independently of what your doctor tells you
4. Keep detailed health records and be your own advocate
5. Build relationships with healthcare providers who actually listen to your concerns

For Your Finances:
1. Don’t assume the housing market will always recover—we may be entering a collapse worse than 2008
2. Build emergency funds that can cover 12+ months of expenses
3. Understand that mortgage delinquencies are spiking for a reason—economic pain is spreading

For Your Future:
1. Develop multiple income streams that don’t depend on physical ability
2. Prepare for a world where 13%+ of Americans have disabilities
3. Build networks that extend beyond your current industry or location
4. Plan for scenarios where traditional support systems collapse

The Bottom Line

Knowledge is power, but only if you act on it. These statistics aren’t meant to scare you—they’re meant to wake you up. Medical errors kill more Americans than most diseases. Infant mortality is spiking at the same time mass vaccination of pregnant women began. Disability rates are exploding. Housing defaults are reaching crisis levels. And most people have no idea any of this is happening.

Don’t be most people.

Use this information to make better decisions about your health, your money, and your future. The people who understand what’s really happening will be the ones who thrive while everyone else struggles. The choice is yours: Stay ignorant and hope for the best, or get informed and take control.
