Excess Death Rates for Republican and Democratic Registered Voters in Florida and Ohio During Pandemic
JAMA Internal Medicine Original Investigation
About The Study:
In this study evaluating 538,000 deaths in individuals ages 25 and older in Florida and Ohio between March 2020 and December 2021, excess mortality was significantly higher for Republican voters than Democratic voters after COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults, but not before. These findings suggest that differences in vaccination attitudes and reported uptake between Republican and Democratic voters may have been factors in the severity and trajectory of the pandemic in the U.S.

Maybe republicans are older?
They’re still at it.
Politicization of everything is a hallmark of communism.
Makes sense. Republicans mocked COVID for a long time as just a cold.
More people die from auto accidents going about life than those who hide in a closet and isolate themselves from the rest of the world. did you know that !?
A total bunch of bullchit. The fake lethal vaxes have killed and harmed far more.

Key Points
Question Was political party affiliation a risk factor associated with excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida and Ohio?
Findings In this cohort study evaluating 538 159 deaths in individuals aged 25 years and older in Florida and Ohio between March 2020 and December 2021, excess mortality was significantly higher for Republican voters than Democratic voters after COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults, but not before. These differences were concentrated in counties with lower vaccination rates, and primarily noted in voters residing in Ohio.
Meaning
The differences in excess mortality by political party affiliation after COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults suggest that differences in vaccination attitudes and reported uptake between Republican and Democratic voters may have been a factor in the severity and trajectory of the pandemic in the US.
Abstract
There is evidence that Republican-leaning counties have had higher COVID-19 death rates than Democratic-leaning counties and similar evidence of an association between political party affiliation and attitudes regarding COVID-19 vaccination; further data on these rates may be useful.
Objective
To assess political party affiliation and mortality rates for individuals during the initial 22 months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Design, Setting, and Participants
A cross-sectional comparison of excess mortality between registered Republican and Democratic voters between March 2020 and December 2021 adjusted for age and state of voter registration was conducted. Voter and mortality data from Florida and Ohio in 2017 linked to mortality records for January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2021, were used in data analysis.
Exposures Political party affiliation.
Main Outcomes and Measures Excess weekly deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic adjusted for age, county, party affiliation, and seasonality.
Results Between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2021, there were 538 159 individuals in Ohio and Florida who died at age 25 years or older in the study sample. The median age at death was 78 years (IQR, 71-89 years). Overall, the excess death rate for Republican voters was 2.8 percentage points, or 15%, higher than the excess death rate for Democratic voters (95% prediction interval [PI], 1.6-3.7 percentage points). After May 1, 2021, when vaccines were available to all adults, the excess death rate gap between Republican and Democratic voters widened from −0.9 percentage point (95% PI, −2.5 to 0.3 percentage points) to 7.7 percentage points (95% PI, 6.0-9.3 percentage points) in the adjusted analysis; the excess death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters. The gap in excess death rates between Republican and Democratic voters was larger in counties with lower vaccination rates and was primarily noted in voters residing in Ohio.
Conclusions and Relevance
In this cross-sectional study, an association was observed between political party affiliation and excess deaths in Ohio and Florida after COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults. These findings suggest that differences in vaccination attitudes and reported uptake between Republican and Democratic voters may have been factors in the severity and trajectory of the pandemic in the US.
More bs propaganda
And how did they know they were Republicans?
Democrats are more likely to die from the jabs than Republicans...
“...between March 2020 and December 2021....”
Maybe the study period is too short?
Not to mention said “Go out and get infected on purpose”.
Glad I am neither. Also glad Someone guided us to decline to participate in the great CONvid farce. 🙏

“Maybe republicans are older?”
Normally you would adjust for this but if it doesn’t produce the result you want, you ignore it. Such is “science’ today.
Politicization or not …
Can you refute the findings though!
The study itself admits it’s crap - fake science. To quote:
“ Our study has several limitations. First, there are plausible alternative explanations for the difference in excess death rates by political party affiliation beyond the explanatory role of vaccines discussed herein. Second, our mortality data, although detailed and recent, only included approximately 83.5% of deaths in the US and did not include cause of death.”
They didn’t even determine they died from Covid.
“And how did they know they were Republicans?”
They didn’t vote after they died?
Republicans who died were more likely to have been diagnosed as having died ‘of’ Covid compared with Dems.
There was a LOT of monkeying around with diagnosis back then, and to avoid exposing the vaxxed dying at ‘inconvenient’ rates, some hospitals stopped recording vax status and would therefore record vaccinated as ‘unvaccinated’ if they died. LOTS of game playing - the invalid PCR tests, which were designed to identify a ‘related’ virus (not Covid) were run at diffent cycles based on ‘vaccinated’ status, at least for awhile. In the run up to the ‘vaccine’ release in 2021, the PCR tests were often run at too high of cycle rates but when the ‘vaccine’ was released, the PCR was run at different rates based on whether you were vaccinated or not. No excuse for that - different accuracy rates etc. LOTS of monkeying around with numbers to conceal the failure of the ‘vaccines’.
