- cogman10 5y agoJust because a state is red or blue, does not mean that everyone in that state is a democrat or republican. It's not binary. And, in particular, with infectious disease a few bad apples spoil the bunch. Can you tell us why the current delta deaths are pretty much entirely the unvaccinated? Care to take a stab at what the #1 predictor of vaccine status is? [1] Also, maybe a shocker to you, but densely populated states (such as NJ, NY, and MA) tend to do poorly when a communicable disease hits. It spreads fast and the hospitals are overwhelmed.
