Conservatives are “dying at a significantly higher rate than liberals” due to science mistrust

[jknowgood]

I pointed out your hypocrisy supporting someone doing exactly what you claimed to condemn. Hypocrisy is something Jesus preached about ad nauseum. You didnt condemn Trump's comments and you support his rhetoric of violence but my throw away comment you protest? Hypocrisy.

I will be standing at the pearl gates accusing every one of you faux Christians of hypocrisy.. and if you are a conservative you'll be there soon due to your looney beliefs that science isnt real.

You support abortion, more than likely. You won't see those gates.

Well, it can reasonably be stated that every time I look at the obituaries in my AO a right-leaner has passed.

A "Tennessee conservative" is a Democrat who supports Israel.

"Tennessee has historically ranked among the highest states in the United States for prescription drug use and opioid dispensing. The state currently records an opioid dispensing rate of 56.1 prescriptions per 100 people, which significantly exceeds the national average"



And while these "TN Republicans" all hate marijuana, they are dosed up on Pfizer Opium, the effect of having an IQ under 5 and parroting Fox Faux News, JDAAC preacher, and "your doctor."


The good news is that this prescription pill popping is wiping out the worst self proclaimed sub humans who support Israel. It also means the Only Israel Matters Party base is dying off... not good for future election prospects...

People tend to lean more Republican as they age due to the accumulation of knowledge and wisdom.

The GQP went all-in with conspiracy theories that medicine was dangerous, doctors are corrupt and stupid, and vaccines are bad. It has produced results that are bad for them, arguably good for America though.

Your politics could be making you ill, and conservatives are dying at significantly higher rates than liberals, according to a recent study in Nature.

Over the past decade, a health gap has emerged in the United States. While extensive research has examined how factors like income and education shape health outcomes, political ideology has largely been overlooked—until now.

A paper published last month analyzed individual health data from a long-term study of a large, representative sample of Americans across all 50 states.

“2010 is the last year in which we can say fairly clearly that there is not this gap,” Elizabeth Elder, a coauthor of the study, tells Fast Company. “By 2020 we have pretty clear evidence of a gap in which conservatives are less healthy than liberals.”

By 2016, the gap had begun to appear in biomarker measures. By 2020, it was showing up in deaths from causes such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Since then, the gap has only widened. Between 2020 and 2022, only 0.2% of “very liberal” respondents died of internal causes, compared with 1.34% of “very conservative” respondents.

Add homicide and it all changes to democrats

Celebrating the death of political adversaries is good now. Where have you been? I searched your history. You did not condemn this comment from my research and still support the "evil person who considers the death of other people to be a benefit".

He just threatened to kill everyone in Iran as well.

Mueller was far more demonic than a "political adversary"...He deliberately and knowingly allowed innocent men to rot, and die, in prison, in order to protect certain favored mobsters.

His death was a benefit to all of humanity.

Study makes no sense. Conservatives are happier and healthier. Why would they die sooner?

The abortion issue is no longer. Roe is gone.

Conservatives have always had a higher mortality risk than Liberals. That has primarily been driven by cancer, heart disease, and stroke. It is intuitive, just where you live can push the difference. Conservatives dominate the stroke belt, that alone would inflate their mortality risk.

But there is lifestyle. Obesity rates are higher among conservatives. Then there are suicide rates, which provides us with a good example of what is driving the differences in the OP. There have been studies that have shown, Republicans commit higher suicide rates than Democrats, but those differences can be explained by socioeconomic conditions. That is what is happening here.

Because they don't go to the doctor for preventative care as much.

What is "preventive care"? I've seen doctors all my life and never received 'preventive care'. In fact, doctors are very mum about preventive care.

That's true of black men and Hispanic men. I wonder if they were part of the study.

Preventative care includes things like getting a flu shot, checking cholesterol, screening for diabetes, cancer etc.

Conservatives don't eat their veggies.

Because they reject "science", as it is determined by schittlibs.

I agree we need all females who dont want to ever have kids using contraception. Thats a growing percentage of women. That or get the tubes tied at 20. That would go a long way.

The flaw in the study is the hypocrisy of people. If a conservative has the lifestyle of a liberal, is he or she really a conservative. For example, all overweight/obese people have a liberal lifestyle regardless of how they vote.

Conservative: Save (your life).
Liberal: Spend (your life).

We all know conservatives believe their individual liberty and freedom is a top priority.

So when someone tells them what to do, they're naturally inclined to recoil and do whatever they want.

I remember way back in the day listening to Rush Limbaugh. People told him smoking was unhealthy, he recoiled at the idea. How did that go?

Not sure if this is true or not, because all the Left does is lie and twists truth, but for the sake of argument if it is, it would make sense after what the American public has just been through with Covid.

We should never forget how America was first told by Fauci and the Medical establishment that we did not need to wear a mask when Covid first hit the scene. We were told at that time that Trump wanting to stop all flights from China to the US was xenophobic, while Nancy Peloci and company were dancing in the streets of Chinatown in San Fran saying how it was safe and not to listen to Trump. But then when the body bags started piling up they changed their tune and said that people indeed needed to wear masks. Not only that, it was basically required everywhere. Trouble was, most people could only afford cloth masks which did NOTHING to protect them from Covid. Fauci knew that and so did the medical establishment but they pretended that having a cloth mask was enough. Later on, Fauci was asked why he at first said you did not need a mask and later said you did, in addition to be told also we should probably double mask, he said he had held the truth from the public so as to save masks for medical staff who needed them, that is, masks that actually helped protect people from Covid. So, he basically admitted that he lied to the American people and kept his job, which is unacceptable and can't help but build more and more mistrust.

Then came the jab. Trump said that a vaccine was in the works as he ran against Biden in his Presidential campaign, but Biden and company said it was all BS and that he had done nothing to stop Covid. Then about a week after the election that Biden won, corporations came out with the vaccine Trump had been talking about. The problem was, before that Kamala and company had publicly said that if Trump did have a vaccine in the near future, they would not be taking it. But since Trump lost the election, they switched gears and took full credit for the vaccine. Not only that, but they also basically made it mandatory for as many people as they could saying how safe it really was. But as people started having nasty reactions to the vaccine that the government was forcing people to get, which included death, people were being told they had no legal recourse for compensation. And not only did they have no legal recourse for compensation, if they got on social media to tell the world their horrific story about what they had just gone through with the jab the Biden administration made sure that companies like Twitter censored them and banned them from the site, as the public then labelled them anti-science and fear mongers. So, not only did they loose their loved one, they lost their friends as well. And God forbid you loved one was dying in a hospital from Covid because you were not allowed to even visit them, and not even offered the chance to take precautions like Medical staff to enter their room for their safety to do so.

And then we saw how Europe had banned the vaccine for young men due to the high rates of endocarditis, which is often life threatening due to the statistics on that issue. But the US just ignored it and forced a population of young health kids who had few health concerns from Covid to get the jab anyway. But by that time, the jab had become a cult of sorts, so there was no way to ever question it.

In fact, I know a medical person who had debilitating headaches after getting the jab, so much so she had to miss work for about 3 months. And when she asked her peers in the medical field if the shot had anything to do with it, all she remembered was the look of fear in their eyes of not knowing how to respond because they knew that any bad mouthing about the jab was a no, no. Luckily, however, her doctor took her aside and said it would probably be a good thing if she avoided getting the jab ever again, a truth that I am sure not all doctors around the country were brave enough to utter.

But the worst thing from Covid was probably what was not talked about, that is the shutting down of the world economy. Only one country decided to resume life as normal telling people to take precautions as best they could and continue to go to work and school, which was Sweden. Had the world done that, we would not have the worldwide crushing inflation we do today. Speaking of which, I was reading an article about the ill effects of a bad economy on the health of people written about 10 years prior to Covid, and in it they admitted that for about every percent of unemployment there are so many thousands of deaths from such things as heart attacks, drug abuse, alcoholism, etc. How many died due to horrible government policy will never be known or talked about, especially with a media that is largely controlled the government who is never accountable to the public.

And the whole thing about keeping 6 feet apart? Yea, they admitted that was based on nothing as well. You know, if you are correct, maybe the whole goal was to put mistrust in medicine so that more people would not seek medical care and die. Maybe they just wanted more data centers and less people.

Try again.

I love how you consider the deaths of others as a good for America.
That pretty much seals the argument for me.

I would rather die a righteous and morally good man, than live a long time as an evil person who considers the death of other people to be a benefit to myself.

Where has anyone posted that these deaths are "good for America"? They haven't, but like always, you assume evil intent by leftists. Even the assumption that others are evil, is in and of itself, evil.

How is dying of preventable diseases and causes, dying as a "righteous and morally good man"? It's NOT. It's dying as an idiot who doesn't need to die. It is highly laughable that this is your defense of your idiocy.

This is what right wing conservatives truly are with their denial of science and medicine, and their claims that the government is killing them with vaccines. There is no way you can spin these deaths other than right wing idiocy.
