It is not possible to collect party affiliation of those who die of COVID. County level is the closest we can come.
Republican voting counties are 60% vaccinated. Democratically voting counties are 91% vaccinated. Covid vaccination is known to be 90+% effective at preventing death from covid. Covid deaths in Republican voting counties is 5.5X higher.
That should be enough for party leadership to start realizing it’s bad strategy to encourage your most vocal supporters to behave in a way that will literally kill them.
But, heck. I’m not a political strategist so what do I know? Maybe killing their people is part of some devious master plan I can’t figure out.
