NPR looked at deaths per 100,000 people in roughly 3,000 counties across the U.S. from May 2021, the point at which vaccinations widely became available. People living in counties that went 60% or higher for Trump in November 2020 had 2.73 times the death rates of those that went for Biden. Counties with an even higher share of the vote for Trump saw higher COVID-19 mortality rates.

In October, the reddest tenth of the country saw death rates that were six times higher than the bluest tenth, according to Charles Gaba, an independent health care analyst who's been tracking partisanship trends during the pandemic and helped to review NPR's methodology. Those numbers have dropped slightly in recent weeks, Gaba says: "It's back down to around 5.5 times higher."

 

The Reddest counties, the top 10% highest Trump supporting counties had a death rate 5.5x higher than the national average. Those counties that voted at least 60% for Trump had almost 3x higher death rate.

Trump supporters, like old guy and angry man, believed the garbage he was peddling. Those counties didn't:

1. Wear Masks

2. Get vaccinated

at nearly the same levels as Non trump supporting counties

He did an very good job.  Regardless how the fake news puts out it's propaganda Trump did just fine.

most of us are happy that COVID-19 did not start during Biden's administration.  I can see it now, no masks, no medical gowns, no vaccinations availabl.  And hospitals over loaded with no respirators and no relief.  And the death rate passing passing the level that the Obama medical team claimed it would.  The Obama team said that 70% of the people would be affected and a death rate over 2.2 million.  Thank God Trump was in office.

Are you going to tell me that the vaccine did not possibly save your life, THANK TRUMP!!!!!
