Almost twice as many Republicans than Democrats died of Covid, study says

[theHawk]

Hmm...now this should be an eye opener for some..but--it won't be.
I see this as a purely Darwinian exercise---sad but inevitable.

Political affiliation has emerged as a potential risk factor for COVID-19, amid evidence that Republican-leaning counties have had higher COVID-19 death rates than Democrat- leaning counties and evidence of a link between political party affiliation and vaccination views. This study constructs an individual-level dataset with political affiliation and excess death rates during the COVID-19 pandemic via a linkage of 2017 voter registration in Ohio and Florida to mortality data from 2018 to 2021. We estimate substantially higher excess death rates for registered Republicans when compared to registered Democrats, with almost all of the difference concentrated in the period after vaccines were widely available in our study states. Overall, the excess death rate for Republicans was 5.4 percentage points (pp), or 76%, higher than the excess death rate for Democrats. Post- vaccines, the excess death rate gap between Republicans and Democrats widened from 1.6 pp (22% of the Democrat excess death rate) to 10.4 pp (153% of the Democrat excess death rate). The gap in excess death rates between Republicans and Democrats is concentrated in counties with low vaccination rates and only materializes after vaccines became widely available.


Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused over one million deaths in the United
States [6], leading to considerable interest in identifying risk factors for COVID-19 mortality.
Political affiliation has emerged as one potentially significant risk factor, amid evidence that
Republican-leaning counties have had higher COVID-19 death rates than Democrat-leaning
counties [11, 14]. But it is unknown whether this county-level association — which may be
subject to the ecological fallacy [12] — persists at the individual level. Prior research has also
established differences in vaccination attitudes and social distancing based on political party
affiliation [1, 9, 2, 8, 13], but it has been more difficult thus far to establish corresponding
links to health outcomes due to data limitations. This study overcomes that challenge by
linking voter registration data in Ohio and Florida to mortality data to assess the individual-
level association between political party affiliation and excess mortality during the COVID-19
pandemic. We estimate higher excess death rates for registered Republicans when compared
to registered Democrats after vaccines were widely available — and not before — and these
differences were concentrated in counties with lower vaccination rates.

That’s because most senior citizens are Republicans. COVID mostly affects 65+ year olds.

In the next several years there will be far more Democrats dying from the vaccine clot shots than Republicans.

I dont need to prove you said he was. Never claimed you did. I’ve never heard you state that Trump wasn’t conservative. This is the first time I’ve heard you say that so I was giving you Kudos.

PROJECTION, DEFLECTION and WHATABOUTISM are your only tools.

Done with you. Leave.

Amen. And their fear and rage is powerful.

Just watch out when they start flailing. And try to be out of the way when they drop dead. We don't want you to be hurt by falling objects.

How would anyone know what the stats are when the CDC has been hiding them?

Dang..you sure read that study quickly...LOL!
Deny all you want...keep your pinhead buried in the sand--but the numbers don't lie.

Your numbers are fake.

Don't need to read it to know what's in it, if it's something your cult agrees with.

Your cult lies, cheats and steals and this is the reason no one believes a word you say.

Denier.

Are you aware that the CDC has been hiding a ton of information on COVID? ...And for the love of god, could you please at least Google it yourself before claiming that im lying?

Explain how my reply to you had any of that?! I dare you

The C.D.C. Isn’t Publishing Large Portions of the Covid Data It Collects (Published 2022)

The agency has withheld critical data on boosters, hospitalizations and, until recently, wastewater analyses.

[Cellblock2429]

I wonder..just what would constitute 'evidence' to you? Stone tablets from God?

They took mortality figures and matched them to registered voters..how hard is that to understand? Again, your opinion means shit...you cannot refute the study..so you deny it.
Cool beans..but the facts are the facts. Those who chose not to vax died at a higher rate.

/----/ So what is the breakdown between, democRATs, Republicans and Independents?

I wouldn't bother.

All that comes out is lies.

Their cult lies, cheats and steals and this is the reason no one believes a word they say.

The cult's entire existence is collapsing under the realization that we see through them.

Viruses dont care about your political stances.

COVID does care about your age.

As you get older you trend toward being more conservative. That might be because your politics have changed or you stood still and the politics moved left, either way it happens.

The politics of American generations: How age affects attitudes and voting behavior

Among U.S. adults, different age cohorts have markedly different political profiles, but the relationship is considerably more complex than young people leaning liberal and older people being more conservative.

www.pewresearch.org

For Our Political Views, Do We Age in Place?

A man who is not a Liberal at sixteen has no heart; a man who is not a Conservative at sixty has no head. —Benjamin Disraeli [1] How accurate is this statement? A new study provides an answer.

www.acsh.org

Since 93% of the people who died from COVID are over 50 and 75% were over 65 maybe its more about age and less about who someone votes for.

COVID-19 deaths by age U.S. 2023 | Statista

Between the beginning of January 2020 and June 14, 2023, of the 1,134,641 deaths caused by COVID-19 in the United States, around 307,169 had occurred among those aged 85 years and older.

Maybe we should stop trying so hard to make this about people's politics.

You should have read the article because they corrected for age.

Maybe we should be open to the possibility that politics affects people behavior and that their behavior leads to different outcomes.

By the way, here's your friendly reminder to get boosted. ♥

Have been boosted. Thanks for the reminder anyways.

Waste of space… you display it perfectly

So needy for attention......

Everything she does screams attention… to her wasting space with needless blank lines in her posts. To her repetitive childish insults she injects into every post. To her obvious deflection from substance to engage in name calling. I’d be annoyed if I didn’t feel so sorry for her.

How did they correct for that? There's nothing in the methodology that says that. Please feel free to quote where it shows how they "corrected for age".

Older people (65 and older) are vastly more likely to die of COVID. Older people are also far more likely to be conservative. BTW older people were far more likely to get vaccinated regardless of their political bent. People getting or not getting vaccinated based on political views was/is happening in the younger tranche of people (50 and under). Their apprehension was born out to a large degree. It's not a disease that effects them and their getting vaccinated doesn't actually stop them from getting it to spread it so what would be the point? You can make the argument that had we just sequestered and protected the old and let the young healthy portion of our population get and get over COVID we would have been far better off far sooner than the track we took.

I know all these younger people want to act/feel like their life was in danger and they went through this traumatic experience because of COVID but that's by and large just something we made up. And the statistics bear that out. Very few people under 50 were ever in any threat of dying of COVID. You might have gotten sick, it might have even been like a really bad flu, but they were never in any real danger of dying.

It really doesn’t seem like you read the methods.

Don't you mean dying from the Florine they put in drinking water?

Im not far off from agreement with you but I’m curious according to whichever stats you trust how many deaths did we have from COVID for people under 50?

How do you think that corrects for age exactly?
