    Dems Celebrate Study Showing Trump Voters More Likely to Die from Covid, Hope It Sway

    Dems Celebrate Study Showing Trump Voters More Likely to Die from Covid, Hope It Sways Midterm Elections

    Democrats are excited about a new study that suggests that Trump voters are much more likely to die from Covid-19 than Biden voters. Some are even musing it might help sway the 2020 election.
    One health expert who has appeared repeatedly on MSNBC and CNN throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, Dr. Peter Hotez of Baylor University and the Texas Children’s hospital, shared the study on Twitter.

    plying to @PeterHotezHow do we define speech that contributes significantly to the loss of American lives on a scale we’ve not seen before in modern times?

    Dr. Hotez, who has an impressive background in actual vaccine development, was reacting to the views of Sarah Palin, who recently said that she would get the coronavirus vaccine “over my dead body.”

    @PeterHotez

    At what point do we define such public remarks made by former or current elected officials as hate speech/rhetoric? Since June 1, 2021, I estimate 200,000 unvaccinated Americans lost their lives to Covid because they refused vaccinations despite their widespread availability.

    “At what point do we define such public remarks made by former or current elected officials as hate speech/rhetoric?” he asked. “Since June 1, 2021, I estimate 200,000 unvaccinated Americans lost their lives to Covid because they refused vaccinations despite their widespread availability.”
    It is not clear where Dr. Hotez was getting his figures, since nearly as many Americans have died under President Biden as under former President Trump, despite the widespread availability of the vaccine and the prevalence of natural immunity. Furthermore, excess mortality in 2022 is roughly the same as it was in 2021.
    But to break apart the chart shared by Dr. Hotez, which he credited to first seeing from Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding, there appears to be cause for concern.



    The chart appears to be based on research that was corroborated by NPR based on CDC data. Significantly, it runs through 12/6/2021.

    “Since May 2021, people living in counties that voted heavily for Donald Trump during the last presidential election have been nearly three times as likely to die from COVID-19 as those who live in areas that went for now-President Biden.” NPR reported on December 6. “That’s according to a new analysis by NPR that examines how political polarization and misinformation are driving a significant share of the deaths in the pandemic.”
    “NPR looked at deaths per 100,000 people in roughly 3,000 counties across the U.S. from May 2021, the point at which vaccinations widely became available,” the report continued. “People living in counties that went 60% or higher for Trump in November 2020 had 2.73 times the death rates of those that went for Biden. Counties with an even higher share of the vote for Trump saw higher COVID-19 mortality rates.”
    “In October, the reddest tenth of the country saw death rates that were six times higher than the bluest tenth, according to Charles Gaba, an independent health care analyst who’s been tracking partisanship trends during the pandemic and helped to review NPR’s methodology,” the report added. “Those numbers have dropped slightly in recent weeks, Gaba says: ‘It’s back down to around 5.5 times higher’.”
    “The trend was robust, even when controlling for age, which is the primary demographic risk of COVID-19 mortality,” NPR went on. “The data also reveal a major contributing factor to the death rate difference: The higher the vote share for Trump, the lower the vaccination rate.”
    “The analysis only looked at the geographic location of COVID-19 deaths,” it continues. “The exact political views of each person taken by the disease remains unknowable. But the strength of the association, combined with polling information about vaccination, strongly suggests that Republicans are being disproportionately affected.”

    CNN also touted a study in early December that showed Trump-voting states had a 50% higher risk of dying from COVID-19.
    “That’s according to a new CNN analysis of data from Johns Hopkins University, which shows a direct parallel between low vaccination rates and higher death rates in individual states,” CNN/WKRC reported. “Pro-Trump red states had a 52% higher average of COVID-19 deaths per capita than blue states, researchers found.”
    Indeed, that’s enough to case Donald Trump’s recent statements on the vaccine in a different light, even as both Trump and his voters are adamantly opposed to unlawful vaccine “mandates.”
    There is no strong reason to doubt the validity of the study’s results, even when accounting for the fact that older voters tending to vote more Republican. But it is important to note that since the study’s results were released, blue states like New York, New Jersey, and Michigan have ascended in the rankings of Covid-related mortality per 100,000. Early on, blue states New York and New Jersey were among the leaders, suggesting that population density, as well as regional and seasonal factors, impact these figures at any given point in time.

    “No matter how angry the hypocrite left gets about a dad tricking their senile president into repeating ‘Let’s Go Brandon,’ it will always go down as one of the most legendary pranks of all-time.”
