I assume that republicans are on average older than democrats. If so, has that been taken into account when making this study?

  Yes, it is broken out by age and vaccination status. Turns out vaccination status is the likely culprit.

    How about comorbidities? They don't necessarily follow with age. Some populations can be more fit than others in the same age bracket too.

      Prior to covid, the R and D cohorts had identical excess deaths. 2 years later, following covid, there is a large gap. It seems unlikely theres a comorbidity that struck the unvaccinated, that cant be explained by covid.

        Excess death is not just caused by covid...

          Ok, what caused the unprecedented spike in excess deaths over the period in which covid was widely spread?
