“Covid deaths are unevenly distributed among Republicans and Democrats. Average excess death rates in Florida and Ohio were 76% higher among Republicans than Democrats”

“The partisan gap in the deaths widened from April to 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

“Lower vaccination rates among Republicans could explain the partisan gap, but some researchers say mask use and social distancing were bigger factors.”

As I’ve said before, no one has been more wrong more times on Covid than the right, listening to them bloviate on anything regarding Covid is like listening to Harry Dunn’s views on anything, and it appears the reality is beginning to catch up to them now

How sad and how unnecessary. It's hard though to pinpoint any one factor in this discrepancy. The most logical reason IMO though is not the vaccines. IMO it is the fact that older ppl tend to be more conservative and thus are (R) voters -- the same age group that has had the lion's share of deaths from the virus.

Of course you are going to have more republicans sick as well as dead from covid. They are the ones stupid enough to think it's the vaccine is going to hurt or harm them. We lost about a million due to the virus how many did we lose to the vaccine? Maybe 2? Oh that's right, they're all going to start dying next year.

Your obsession is noted, Tommy. Yes, older ppl have higher death rates from the SARS-COV-2 virus than the younger (<60 yo) cohort. Older ppl also tend to be more conservative. Even a drooling moron like yourself who thinks blogs = "science" should be able to comprehend that.

:laugh: Yes. Any. Day. Now.

My favorite part is watching the Reichwingers cry about the vaccine being "poison," yet they're fine with taking the EUA anti-RNA-viral meds that come with warnings saying that men with sexual partners of reproductive age should not have unprotected sex for at least THREE MONTHS after taking the course of meds. Three months? Hmm, but that's not "poison." lol

And thusly, due to their being more conservative, believing and accepting the disinformation put out by the right regrading Covid
 
Here's an interesting article. 3 anti-vax wing-nut radio hosts all dead from Covid. I hope they're families are honored by their loss... they stood up for the anti-science shit they believed in. RIP, I guess.

"Sept. 3, 2021, 8:36 AM CDT
By Allan Smith
First it was Dick Farrel. Then Phil Valentine. Most recently, Marc Bernier. Just within the past month, those three conservative radio hosts — all unvaccinated critics of inoculation efforts — died after contracting Covid.

Will their deaths help sway any minds of unvaccinated listeners or the broader segment of conservatives resistant to the shots? Some fellow personalities think so — although the optimism is limited.

"There's no question when somebody like Phil Valentine, when you read that he has it and then three weeks later he's dead, it will get your attention," said John Fredericks, a pro-Trump conservative radio personality who said he is vaccinated."

You really are full of shit, you could never debate me on climate or most other science related matters, come to that. I'll concede that you know more about dogfish dissection, wigwam and wampum making than me though.

What an interesting albeit hard to accept perspective--Republicans dying is "sad and unnecessary."
Are we presently campaigning for canonization, Owl?

:laugh: Hardly!

It IS sad when people practice willful ignorance and die from it, like the radio hosts Lurch mentioned. Maybe we don't like them (I know YOU don't for sure lol), but they have families, kids, friends, etc. who miss them. Dying a pointless death because of your extreme partisanship is stupid. Spreading around a lethal virus because of your willful ignorance is even worse.

Anti vaccine and insistence on melting snowflakes by gathering in groups as if there was no pandemic

Nobody gives a flyin fuck about ancient history, the Turks slaughtered the Greeks too. And just where did you get the idea that it was liberals and not conservatives doing the slaughtering?

Slaughtered with Covid, moron. :palm:

You really don't know these stats about minority deaths? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Dem virtue signaling hypocrisy. You only pretend to care. :palm:

I got a theory. First, for the first time in forever, by 100k, there are more registered republicans than democrats in Florida. Florida has been called "God's waiting room" for a long time, because of all the old folks we have down here. Up until about 20 years ago, most of the elderly population were post-war roosevelt democrats and old vietnam era hippies. Those people are almost entirely gone now, and people moving into that age demographic probably do lean GOP (as in, "what the fuck was I thinking for all those years"!). As of 8/21, 98.8% of Florida's seniors had at least the first shot. 86% were fully vaxed. That's about as good as you're ever going to get for a vax rate in ANY demographic.

The second part of my theory is a real shocker, so stand by!

COVID KILLS OLD PEOPLE. IT DOES NOT REVIEW YOUR POLITICAL AFFILIATION. IF YOU ARE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED, IT DOES NOT CARE IF YOU ARE VAXED AND BOOSTED, IF IT CAN FIND A WAY IN, YOU WILL GET SICK AND POSSIBLY DIE.

NEW STRAIN ALERT!!! https://news.yahoo.com/pretty-troublesome-covid-variant-bq-211248699.html

THIS IS BEING CALLED "THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION STRAIN"!!
