This story caught my eye:
The study examined the deaths of 538,139 people 25 years and older in Florida and Ohio, between January 2018 and December 2021, with researchers linking them to party registration records. Researchers found the excess death rate for Republicans and Democrats was about the same at the start of the pandemic in March 2020.
Both parties experienced a sharp but similar increase in excess deaths the following winter. But after April 2021, the gap in excess death rates emerged, with the rate for Republicans 7.7 percentage points higher than the rate for Democrats. For Republicans, that translated into a 43 percent increase in excess deaths.
Researchers said the gap in excess death rates was larger in counties with lower vaccination rates and noted that the gap was primarily driven by voters in Ohio. The results suggest that differences in vaccination attitudes and the uptake among Republican and Democratic voters “may have been factors in the severity and trajectory of the pandemic” in the United States.
If the 2024 election is extremely close in places like Wisconsin, these excess deaths could cost the GOP the presidency. I’m not sure if killing off your voters is a wise political strategy.
There’s also this:
KFF estimated that between June 2021 and March 2022, at least 234,000 covid-19 deaths could have been prevented if people had received a primary series of vaccinations.
PS. Not content with killing these people, they are also trying to defraud them. If you watch Fox News, you’ll see that most of the commercials are aimed at taking advantage of gullible old people. And of course their private emails show they just make up the news, and don’t really believe the nonsense they spout. I don’t think Succession is cynical enough–the (liberal) screenwriters cannot even imagine the level of corruption.
