I looked at the stats the other day and they are disproportionately minority

They hardly vote Republican

The Townhall column is probably trying to mitigate this story:

Unprecedented: Deaths in Indiana for ages 18-64 are up 40%

Key points:

1. Deaths among 18-64 year-olds (who don’t normally die) are up by 40% in 2021 vs. pre-pandemic levels

2. This is huge. HUGE. They’ve never seen anything like this before in their history. Normally death rates don’t change at all. They are very stable. It would take something REALLY BIG to have an effect this big. The effect size is 12-sigma. That is an event that would happen by pure chance every 2.8e32 years (as shown in the image below). That’s very rare. It’s basically never. The universe is only 14 billion years old which is 1.4e13. In other words, the event that happened is not a statistical “fluke.” Something caused a very big change.

3. Others in the industry are seeing it too.

4. It isn’t COVID. COVID deaths are down this year.

5. Whatever it is that is causing this, it is bigger and more deadlier than COVID and it’s affecting nearly everyone.

6. The CDC is totally on top of this… ok, just kidding… the CDC is clueless as usual.

I am 65, a Trump supporter, and I had covid.
Not vaxed and survived.
I am not antivaccine.
Just poison government jabs.

Like Reagen said,

The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”

Propaganda is everywhere.

Thanks for the post. I hope it reaches many people who need to see this.

We can all agree; the left wants us to die. They also want us to break with President Trump. They believe and have succeeded to a point with vaccinations. We see far too many people taking the bait and adopting irreconcilable extreme positions.

If we all embrace the conservative cause of personal freedom for health related decisions we would have far more support, but the left wants this divide between conservatives to fester and spread.

We can beat them if we realize the extent of the manipulation and work fight the battles we can easily win together.

NO Mandates, period. Then it doesn’t matter what one thinks of the vaccine.

Nope, not vaccinated. I’m just readily aware the left would love to see all of us die.

Vaxx deaths are now over 21k as reported by VAERS, author’s 10k is old old data.

Also, how many COVID deaths are in people deficient in vitamin D? Why are so many people deficient in this vitamin? This is such an easy problem to fix.
Testing vitamin D blood level probably cost less than testing for COVID. My doctor recommends a blood level between 50 and 80 ng/ml. I believe thus approach is more effective than the innoculatiins. The D3 supplements are inexpensive and widely available. Add vitamin C, zinc and quercetin for even more protection.

The “vaccine” is not a vaccine and it does not work.

Townhall are taking George Soros money. That’s why they are going leftward. So is Ann Coulter.

The love of money is the root of all evils.

The only issue really is that every red state death is one less vote for us. I think we need every vote we can including older voters.

I was acquainted with 2 people that died in 2021 shortly after recieving the vaccine. They were both elderly and had several complications and were urged to take the vaccine saying it was perfectly safe. Death for both was ruled as things other than the vaccine despite both happening within 24 hours of taking it. The vaccine isn’t safe for people with many complications.

It occurs to me that if the goal of the vaccine was merely revenue for Big Pharma, saline would have done nicely.

Saline would have been just as effective and offer no risk of side effects.

The fact that the vaccines have 'proved' to be dangerous indicates an ulterior motive.

Despite having co-morbidities (age/COPD/diabetes - but not overweight), I will chose to risk CoVid over CoVid vaccine.

I have noticed the media reports on the deaths of conservatives.

Even if more liberals died than conservatives the media would not report it.

-- "Please refute and explain this lie...."

Nowhere in all the "official" data are there any taxonomic statistics gathered by political affiliation, from Johns Hopkins to Worldometer to IMHE to the WHO and the the European sites. There is NO data to support any political affiliation for any "official" Covid death.

The supposed conservative-leaning Townhall cites a Daily Kos article, titled "Rumors Of Age Being A Major "Confounding Factor" In COVID Death Rates Have Been Greatly Exaggerated."

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2021/10/18/2058910/-Rumors-Of-Age-Being-A-Major-Confounding-Factor-In-Death-Rates-Have-Been-Greatly-Exaggerated

The writer cites his own visual analysis based on county voting, so the data gathering are his. The assumption is that vaccination "rate" and voter affiliation predict deaths. He, Charles Gaba, has been selling this political analysis, along with his continuing support of Obamacare stats and such.

The 'assumptive' conclusion based on his own data gathering is that 'Trump supporters' -- notice this is not presented as 'Republicans,' per se -- supporters are less "vaccinated," and therefore dying at his own calculated rate.

The Townhall writer then amplifies the assertion with her title: " Many More Trump Supporters are Dying From COVID-19 Than Democrats."

Here is the REAL -- let's chuckle a bit -- "official" data as of two years of this "deadly" event:

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/

For the US....

( 825,819 "U.S. Deaths" over two years / 331,002,651 U.S. population ) x 100 = 0.249%

About one quarter of one percent, given the rule of thumb that about one percent of a population dies off each year. Covid related sorts of assertions in 2022 are becoming a game of Chinese Whispers, passing word phrase on with slight changes, so very often into turning up the "heat" into hysteria and plain old politics. A plain, statistical data point for the worldwide "official" data. Worldwide the data says: ( 5,440,715 "global deaths) / 7,917,528,778 global population ) x 100 = 0.0687%

Less than seven one-hunredths of one percent "global deaths" from Covid over two years.

“But if he had been acting like a liberal, he probably would not have attended the massive rally.”

Probably the closest thing to a true statement in the article. If Herman Cain had been a liberal he probably wouldn’t have attended the Trump rally. He would have been at a George Floyd protest rally.

For real, more Biden sycophants are being murdered in the City States than Trump supporters.

Biden worshiper murders in the City States reached an all time high in 2021

The City States put to the lie that Black Lives Matter
