Excess Death Rates for Republicans and Democrats During the COVID-19 Pandemic

https://www.nber.org/papers/w30512

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.

 

Have no fear! Marjorie Taylor Greene has been named to Congressional committee to investigate Covid.

 

FIFY

 

Is there any area where Dems out death repubs?

 

Do you mean due to Covid or just any area of life? Dem states have higher drug use, so maybe drugs?

I was being a bit sarcastic, but it was with respect to any area...the whole political score keeping is wild as hell, anymore. Thanks for your response.

 

How could you tell?

 

Covid is still going around, there is just not the mass testing and fear porn.

 

Yes. The mass fear goes away once enough people are vaccinated... Because the vaccines are effective at preventing serious illness.

 

Of course it is. You didn’t think it would go away did you?

 

Made sense until kale. A lot of Americans never touch kale. It's called vaccines, public health, and public works like water systems. Things like school lunch programs help. Until Republicans get rid of them.

Excellent points! They should all be free

 

What is the motivation for developing them if they are free?
