The Whiteys appear to be very upset with this study. The big money right wing groups are upset that it didn't kill more.
Moronic post started by a moron. Age and comorbidities are the only serious indicators of COVID death rate. Fat, old, sick people are 99.9% of all COVID deaths. Now do vaxx deaths. See that 20 year old med student who dropped dead from a heart attack the day after her stabbing? 20 year old. Healthy. Drops dead from a heart attack? Maybe JJ Watt needs another defibrillator shot, too.
no other college student has dropped death from heart attacks in the history of education before this instance.
As expected --- being MAGA directly correlates with death. Covid death rates are higher among Republicans than Democrats, mounting evidence shows Lower vaccination rates among Republicans could explain the partisan gap, but some researchers say mask use and social distancing were bigger factors. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/heal...es-higher-republicans-democrats-why-rcna50883 Covid deaths are unevenly distributed among Republicans and Democrats. Average excess death rates in Florida and Ohio were 76% higher among Republicans than Democrats between March 2020 and December 2021, according to a working paper released last month by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Excess deaths refers to deaths above what would be anticipated based on historical trends. A study in June published in Health Affairs similarly found that counties with a Republican majority had a greater share of Covid deaths through October 2021, relative to majority-Democratic counties. But experts are still puzzling over why these differences exist. Are lower vaccination rates among Republicans responsible? Or did mask use and social distancing guidelines prevent more deaths in counties run by Democrats? The Yale researchers behind the new working paper say vaccine hesitancy among Republicans may be the biggest culprit. "In counties where a large share of the population is getting vaccinated, we see a much smaller gap between Republicans and Democrats," said Jacob Wallace, an author of that study and an assistant professor of health policy at the Yale School of Public Health. Indeed, his paper found that the partisan gap in the deaths widened between April and December 2021, after all adults became eligible for Covid vaccines. Excess death rates in Florida and Ohio were 153% higher among Republicans than Democrats during that time, the paper showed. "We really don’t see a big divide until after vaccines became widely available in our two states," Wallace said. But the June study suggested that Covid vaccine uptake explained just 10% of the partisan gap in the deaths. Those researchers suggested that compliance with other public health measures such as mask use and social distancing was a significant factor. "Vaccination does play a role in the difference that we’ve observed in excess mortality between red and blue places, but it is not the whole story," said Neil Jay Sehgal, an author of that study and an assistant professor of health policy and management at the University of Maryland School of Public Health. "When you have less transmission, you have fewer cases and you have less mortality. And you have less transmission in general by instituting protective policies like mask requirements when we had them, or capacity limits in businesses," he added. Role of vaccine hesitancy Both papers come with limitations. The study from Sehgal’s team looked at counties, not individuals, which makes it difficult to determine whether other demographic factors — such as education level, proximity to health care services or the share of older residents — played a role in the trend. The new Yale paper, by contrast, linked political affiliation to excess Covid deaths at the individual level, but it still used county-level vaccination rates. The research was also limited to two states. "It may very well be that in Ohio and Florida, because of the nature of Ohioans and Floridians, vaccine uptake may have played a greater role than [in] the country at large," Sehgal said. Wallace, however, said it's common knowledge that attitudes toward vaccines "are not Ohio- and Florida-specific issues." Joe Gerald, an associate professor of public health policy and management at the University of Arizona, who was not involved in either study, agreed that Ohio and Florida are good places to study this issue, because "you have lots and lots of people that are otherwise very similar — they live in the same place, they’re roughly the same age distribution — but they differ by party ID." He said he thinks vaccine uptake rates partly explain the gap in deaths, but it's still not clear how much they're to blame. Will the partisan gap narrow? Both Wallace and Sehgal said their studies shouldn't be misinterpreted as blaming Republicans for Covid deaths. "This is not saying: If Republicans were in fact Democrats, they’d be less likely to die," Wallace said. He added, however, that when it comes to the overall consequences of vaccine hesitancy, "we’re talking about a lot of preventable death and morbidity." Around 20% of the U.S. population still hasn’t received a single Covid shot, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Gerald predicted that the partisan gap in Covid deaths could narrow over time as more people get Covid and acquire immunity, regardless of their vaccination status. But Wallace cautioned that low vaccination rates might perpetuate the trend. "Sadly, if the pandemic continues, and those vaccine attitude differences continue, we may continue to see this kind of a divide," he said.
GWB is ignoring the simple fact that the greatest number of death occurred in extreme liberal Democrat states like New York, California, New Jersey, etc. Chances are pretty good that a good number of extreme liberals perished in the process. In addition, most extreme liberals are fully vexed, double, triple, quadruple and more on the way booster shots all taken. Take note, that those who got booster shots has contracted Corona Virus multiple times. Your extreme liberal illustrious leader Joe Biden has been fully vaxxed and boosted and has contracted Corona Virus 3 times so far. And the good news, each time you get those vaccines, spike proteins are being put into your bodies. A doctor said he does not know what will happen or if they will affect our bodies with those spike proteins. So far, there are no adverse reactions but, he is concerned in the future it could have adverse effects.
It is a shame that you can't even get basic facts right. The death per capita is much higher in rural areas and red counties. In terms of raw cohorts of Covid deaths -- white Republicans have the highest number of raw deaths -- exceeding every other cohort significantly. Prior to Omicron, Covid boosters provided significant protection against both infection and severe illness. The vaccinated breakthrough rate in the U.S. prior Omicron was a mere 0.56% which is 6 times less than the vaccinated breakthrough rate of the measles vaccine of over 3% in an environment where the virus is highly prevalent. Since Omicron -- the Covid vaccines still provide significant protection against severe illness. In the U.S. over 90% of the deaths of people under 60 by Covid currently are the unvaccinated. Generally these are people cut down in the prime of their life due to their own stupidity in believing Covid vaccine misinformation.
And the majority of the white Covid deaths are unvaccinated MAGA supporters in red counties. They even have a name for it now - "Red Covid". White Americans are now dying of COVID-19 at higher rates than Black Americans, analysis shows https://theweek.com/covid-19/101764...covid-19-at-higher-rates-than-black-americans When the COVID-19 pandemic slammed the U.S. in March 2020, and for months afterwards, Black people were at least three times more likely to die of COVID-19 than their white peers — but now white Americans are consistently more likely to die from the disease, The Washington Post reported Wednesday, based on its in-depth, age-adjusted analysis of federal COVID-19 death data from April 2020 through last summer. The Black-white mortality gap narrowed and widened, then first flipped in October 2021, the Post found. White people have been consistently dying of COVID-19 at higher rates than Black and Hispanic Americans since April 2022, and Asian American mortality rates have been lower since a year before that. "So what contributed to the recent variation in death rates?" the Post asked. "The easy explanation is that it reflects the choices of Republicans not to be vaccinated, but the reasons go deeper," including opposition to mask-wearing and hospital closures in predominantly white rural areas. But it's also about vaccination. Black and white Americans were equally reluctant to get the COVID vaccine when it first became available, but Black people overcame that hesitation more quickly, Tasleem Padamsee, an assistant professor at Ohio State University, tells the Post. At the same time, it has been evident for months that Republicans are dying from COVID at higher rates than Democrats. A new working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that excess death rates in Ohio and Florida — or deaths above what would be expected — were 76 percent higher among Republicans than Democrats from March 2020 to December 2021. "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," the Yale researchers report. A study published in the journal Health Affairs in June found a similar partisan gap at the county level. David Leonhardt at The New York Times dubbed this phenomenon "Red COVID." Over the spring and summer, the partisan "gap did narrow somewhat," as predicted, he writes. "But it has begun growing again in the past two months." "Experts are still puzzling over why these differences exist," NBC News reports, whether it's more about low vaccination rates among Republicans, greater use of public mitigation measures in Democratic areas, or — as the Post posits — a complicated snarl of racial and class politics. Republican areas, with lower vaccination rates, are also shunning the extremely effective antiviral Paxlovid, Leonhardt notes. "That mistake has had tragic consequences."
