54. That is not true, and there is no data to support that.

The CDC and other believable sources for vaccination data do not collect data on political affiliation. Anything said or heard about supporting the idea that only Repubs are dying to COVID is anecdotal at best.

In fact, if we look at the age old understanding that young people lean Dem and older people lean Red, you can see the fallacy of this argument.

According to the CDC, the least unvaccinated groups are adults age 18-24 and 25-39. Those age groups would appear on the surface to lean blue.

Older Americans are some of the most highly vaccinated, with people 65-74 reporting a 93% (one dose) vaccination rate, and people 75+ reporting an 88% (one dose) vaccination rate.

The virus doesn't give a shit about political beliefs, and I'm positive that people on both sides of the aisle are suffering from this.
