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

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

And grammatically challenged. “Twice as many … than ….” Ignorance.

Illiteracy is de rigueur for democriminals.

Fake news debunked. What the patently dishonest pro-death-shot article neglects to mention is that deaths rates from all causes have long been higher in red counties, even way before covid. Inferior health infrastructure, more smoking, obesity etc.

Now say you are sorry for posting this propaganda, pro-death-shot garbage. You spread deadly misinformation. #StopTheShots

Red counties have higher death rates than blue counties. Here's why

The "mortality gap" between red and blue counties was growing long before the pandemic began. Experts have a few theories as to why

It is impossible to know without delving into the data. If there happens to be twice as many people age 60 and higher that identify as republicans that there are age 60 and higher that identify as democrats, then it would be expected that a much higher percentage of republicans die of Covid than democrats since being 60 an above puts people in the high risk age group to die of covid.

At this point, I am to lazy to do the research to do that analysis.

The problem that the "study" has, it it ignores the fact that the majority of the old people in Florida are TRANSPLANTED DEMOCRATS FROM NEW YORK!


DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[westwall]

They literally correlated deaths with their political party lifted from their voter registration.

Not sure how much more accurate they're going to get.

How? The overwhelming majority of old people in Florida are escaped NEW YORK DEMOCRATS!



DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

A lame bureaucratic paper from September hardly qualifies as a current event. Is it meaningful to the losercrats somehow?

And yet all the elections were so close.
How many Ds voted R?
Must have been a lot.

32K died in Arizona. Kari Lake lost by 20K. She might have won had Republicans in Arizona not Darwin'd themselves.

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.

not surprised…republicans were working, many on the front lines…while dems set back, boozed and lived off our taxes

 

[Faun]

Did you graduate college.
I have to know whether or not I should waste my wit on such a moron as yourself.

Since when is a college degree an indication of intelligence to you??

Someone educated in a specific industry does not indicate overall intelligence.

... now everyone here sees your positions are fluid based on what argument you're trying to win.

LOL

WTF difference does it make where they're from?? Does Florida automatically switch a New Yorker's voter registration from Democrat to Republican when they move down here?

Front lines of what? Covid?? Is that what you call attending a Trump rally?

Not really; your fellow retard is posting the same post repeatedly which shows that you’re not reading all his identical posts or you’re an idiot.

Less than 1% of the vote for those of us who aren’t bullshit artists like you.

 

[citygator]

Let them die. Why even start this OP? They are the party of personal responsibility.. let them figure it out. Or not.

Try reading the Abstract and then get back to us.

Trump is running; so many LibTards to put on Ignore…

 

[MarcATL]

This should be obvious to anyone who believes in science.

Basically.

According to you, based on whatever argument you're fighting, education is an indication of intelligence except for when it's not.

You moron, Kari Lake lost by 0.6%. Even had she still lost despite stupid rightwingnuts Darwin'ing themselves, she certainly would have been within the margin triggering a recount. She she can cry till she's as red as red wave OhPleaseJustQuit.
