Almost Twice as Many Republicans Died From COVID Before the Midterms Than Democrats

COVID-19 is killing more Republicans than Democrats, according to a new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research. The study, titled Excess Death Rates for Republicans and Democrats During the COVID-19 Pandemic, used voter registration and death records to answer a question: is there a link between political affiliation and rates of COVID related death in the U.S.?
The short answer is yes. “In 2018 and the early parts of 2020, excess death rates for Republicans and Democrats are similar, and centered around zero,” the study said. “Both groups experienced a similar large spike in excess deaths in the winter of 2020-2021. However, in the summer of 2021—after vaccines were widely available—the Republican excess death rate rose to nearly double that of Democrats, and this gap widened further in the winter of 2021.”
The study attributes this to the vaccine uptake disparity between Republicans and Democrats, which has been widely documented as more Republicans refused to take the vaccine; the most vocal anti-vax voices were Republican politicians and some conservative news outlets: “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 study notes.
Is it possible that anti-vax Republicans dying from COVID affected the midterms? “If Republicans are dying in increased numbers relative to their Democratic colleagues in a political climate where there are so many close electoral contests, could that have been the decider in a particular particular race?” Jason L. Schwartz, an associate professor of Health Policy at the School of Public Health at Yale and one of the authors of the study, told Motherboard. “Our study can't answer that. But it certainly seems plausible given just how stark the differences in vaccination rates have been, among Democrats and Republicans.”

Aren't republicans older on average than democrats? A respiratory virus taking out more old people than young people is pretty par for the course.
Seems like that's an important tidbit to leave out.

If you're young and not liberal you have no heart, if you're old and not conservative you have no brain.
Assuming that saying true what could be assumed about who would have the higher mortality rate.

You are missing the View. Better rush to catch the last quarter hour.
Anyone that believes these government “studies” are absolute morons. Bottom of the barrel stupid. Absolute propaganda slurping idiots.
The studies also showed the vaccine stopped transmission of Covid too didn’t it?
The studies also showed masks prevent transmission didn’t it??
The studies showed two weeks will flatten the curve didn’t it??
Slurp you up some more propaganda that these firms do just for government grants. Keep on playing the fool.

It's a function of age. There are more younger Democrats than Republicans.

Didn't help that some Democrat governors were forcing covid19 patients into nursing homes.
