8. I looked into that - he's a little fuzzy, but here's what he's posted:

In case anyone is curious… Right now in the USA, every ten days, more than 8,000 (unvaccinated) Republican voters are dying of COVID-19. That’s 5X the rate for Democrats.

That was met with more than a bit of skepticism, so he added:

Thanks for asking. Twitter, of course, does not lend itself to full citations.

I derived the number from published COVID-19 death rates of unvaccinated people (about 1,000 per day). And from the polls that show 25% of Republican voters are unvaccinated, versus 5% of Democrats.

Still a little sketchy. I do think he's roughly right, but would really prefer a more robust analysis.
