Excess death rates for RepublicanS and Democrats during the COVID-19 Pandemic
NATIONAL BUREAU OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH ^ | 09/2022 | Jacob Wallace, Paul Goldsmith-Pinkham, Jason L. Schwartz

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.

I would suspect that Republicans are on average OLDER than the Dem crowd, which is what is probably the difference. In the next few years I would bet that Dem death rates go up significantly, as they are the most vaxxed.

Good I hope all the Democrat Karens in my area leave to go rot in a Democrat-leaning hell somewhere else.

Older people are more likely to register for a party. And, they are more likely to die of Covid.

They accounted for that by looking at excess deaths - actual deaths vs. expected for any given age.

5% of 'vaccine' batches had the majority of deaths - some batches of vaccine were far worse than others. You can check your vaccine lot# here:

https://expose-news.com/2022/05/18/how-harmful-is-my-covid-vaccine-batch/

Those 'bad batches' were usually sent to predominately Republican areas and nothing could be done to stop the administration of those 'vaccine' lots.

Then, non-vaccinated were more likely to be treated with Remdesivir (toxic 'medication' they knew was harmful).

Then, non-vaccinated were less likely to receive monoclonal antibodies.

Then, there were some reports that some locations would dispense Ivermectin to the vaccinated only.

The depopulation is on schedule.

I scanned the article for the word “age.” The article claims to be age adjusted. In other words, they are comparing the death rates of like groups. The all-cause death rates among the vaccinated are higher than in the unvaccinated group. That has been discussed at length in the Dark Horse podcast wich mostly features researchers. No-known-cause is the leading cause of death in many Canadian provinces and some states. These include young, healthy people who suddenly keel over from heart arrythmia. There are also the unexplained linear blood clots being found in people who are vaccinated and now dead.

I think most of these deaths would have been avoided if we’d treated the symptoms with medications, we already had available and then let the pandemic run its course. Africa, which was almost totally unvaccinated is reporting few if any new cases. They’ve achieved herd immunity. We can’t achieve it because of the vaccinations forcing the virus to evolve.

Don’t have it handy, but studies have shown more deadly jab batches went to the red states.

Well here's a shock. The people doing the research:

The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) is an American private nonprofit research organization that is neither national nor a bureau of the government.

Remember it was reported multiple times, over a year ago, that 100% of Covid vaccine deaths came from just 5% of the lots/batches manufactured and shipped

OKAY, I actually scanned the “report”. ALL the data is presented in PERCENTAGES. No hard numbers anywhere in the document. Statements like this abound: “The aggregate excess death rate from March 2020 to December 2021 was 10.3 percentage points. The paper clouds the issue with percentages, give me hard numbers, unless the intent is to “mislead” the reader.

Remember 10% of 100 is a hell of a lot different than 10% of 1000. BUT it’s still 10%.

The report “claims” Repubs are being taken out by Covid because we are Refuseniks, the REAL numbers are never expressed.

Says this at the top of the page when I go to the link,

“Contamination Bias in Linear Regressions”.

What does that mean?

I assume it’s because blacks were very hesitant to get the clot shot, and thus less likely to die.
