Almost twice as many Republicans than Democrats died of Covid, study says

[Marener]

They didnt say how

That’s absolutely not true. They provide all the information one needs to determine if they did or not.

Do you deny this?

So post it. This will be the fourth time I've asked.

There’s a lot more obesity and diabetes among republicans

Not saying that's not true but you're gonna have to cite a source on that one.

The article explains and provides a URL with all the supplemental information.

You didn’t look at it.

Do you deny they corrected for age?

? That link doesnt take you anywhere informative

Of course it does. That’s where their supplemental information and analytical strings are.

That’s where they explain how they adjusted for age.

It’s exactly what you asked for.

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.

Does anyone believe the mortality data in 2018 and 2019 had anything to do with COVID? Why wasn't the study confined to just the 2 years when COVID was a pandemic? Since the GOP has way more seniors than does the Dems, do you suppose the figures from those 1st 2 years might've compromised the COVID data since there was no COVID then? Or also over the last 2 years for that matter, more seniors died from COVID than young people and most of the seniors were likely to be repubs, no? This study is bullshit.

It’s a website. Are you actually asking how to sign up for a website to get a login?

You sign up.

Look. If this is too complicated for you, I have bad news about what’s next. It’s a lot of statistics.

Hmm...now this should be an eye opener for some..but--it won't be.
I see this as a purely Darwinian exercise---sad but inevitable.

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.


Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused over one million deaths in the United
States [6], leading to considerable interest in identifying risk factors for COVID-19 mortality.
Political affiliation has emerged as one potentially significant risk factor, amid evidence that
Republican-leaning counties have had higher COVID-19 death rates than Democrat-leaning
counties [11, 14]. But it is unknown whether this county-level association — which may be
subject to the ecological fallacy [12] — persists at the individual level. Prior research has also
established differences in vaccination attitudes and social distancing based on political party
affiliation [1, 9, 2, 8, 13], but it has been more difficult thus far to establish corresponding
links to health outcomes due to data limitations. This study overcomes that challenge by
linking voter registration data in Ohio and Florida to mortality data to assess the individual-
level association between political party affiliation and excess mortality during the COVID-19
pandemic. We estimate higher excess death rates for registered Republicans when compared
to registered Democrats after vaccines were widely available — and not before — and these
differences were concentrated in counties with lower vaccination rates.

2 out of 10 democrats are just as ignorant as the other 8 ...so thiers that

Have you ever been to the South?

 

[Faun]

So, 7% of registered R's who voted, voted for Biden. Fair to say there were some number of people who were registered R's and didnt vote either because they didnt like either candidate, or just dont vote anymore?

Still doesn't account for Republicans dying at a 100% greater rate than Democrats. Not even close.

There was a 10-15% difference. Dont be stupid.

 

[Faun]

There was a 10-15% difference. Dont be stupid.

The study showed a 2 to 1 ratio. That's a 100%. Then subtract the 7% who voted Democrat.

Ah. So your ignorance, combined with laziness has resulted in skepticism.

This isn’t the researcher’s fault. Its yours.

It doesn’t matter if you sign up for it, because we both know that you wouldn’t understand it anyway.

If you dont want to have an actual discussion and just want to fling poo have at it.
