People usually lived to a ripe old age if they managed to avoid infections in infanthood.

Democrats didn't raise the life expectancy with welfare and their shitty "universal" insurance. And infant mortality has been low since antibiotics became common.

Wonderful. Idiots finally grasp the idea that 'the average life expectancy 200 years ago was thirty' doesn't mean everyone died at thirty, only to somehow convince themselves that everyone who lived past childhood had the same life expectancy as us.

No. That's not how it worked. Yes, a person who made it to twenty had a reasonable expectation of living to 'old age', but that was still only in their fifties or sixties. Adult mortality was still, much, much higher back then than it is now.

Fucking normies learn one history fact and suddenly think they're an expert fucking retards picking facts out of thin air why is there always... you know what I can't even be bothered

Back to infant mortality, you can check it and see yourself. I got a set of geneological CDs from the 1990s where everything had been either OCR'd or typed in manually and I looked it up and it was VERY expensive back in the day. $3000. And I started to do research, I could look up the individual records for churches all over the world and then calculate the average age of death, the number of deaths below a certain age, etc.

This is "big data" driven research. Sometimes the registers record the cause of death and extensive information, other times they are silent and all you get are birth, baptismal, and death dates.
