The CDC noted that 25 out of every 100,000 residents in counties that heavily voted for President Donald Trump last November died from COVID in October, which was more than three times higher than the rate in heavily Joe Biden counties (7.8 per 100,000). And October was the fifth straight month when the gap between COVID deaths in Trump and Biden counties widened. Remember during the 220 campaign when Trump preached that we were turning the corner on Covid ? I guess his voters didn't know where the corner was !!!
The Dems that were going to die all got COVID early in the pandemic, that is why their rate is lower now (it just took Republicans longer to finally contract the disease due to geographic and climate differences). Truth is, pretty much everyone is going to get it. Look at data from the UK. 98% of the population has COVID antibodies, yet their weekly cases loads are still more than double ours on a per capita basis. 1.5% of the cases are reinfections, while about 60% are breakthrough infections.
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1031157/Vaccine-surveillance-report-week-44.pdfWhen you just look at cases for those over 18 (80+% of the unvaccinated cases), 87% of the cases are among vaccinated individuals (and the vaccination rate for those over 18 is about 90%). This is no longer just a pandemic of the unvaccinated. In fact, case rates are higher in the UK among the vaccinated than among the unvaccinated in age groups 30 and above (this is likely due to a higher degree of natural immunity in the unvaxxed).
