Tara Bahrampour of The Washington Post reported on 2021’s U.S. population growth of just 0.1 percent – the lowest rate since the country’s founding – and included an interview with Ken Johnson of the Carsey School of Public Policy. Johnson said, “In addition to 475,000 deaths directly attributable to covid during the period, it also increased mortality by hindering people’s access to treatment for other health conditions, discouraged people from having babies, and reduced immigration.”
