Its Official: Journal of American Medicine finds red states suffered more Covid deaths. [View all]
JAMA Summary:
“If all states had imposed COVID-19 restrictions similar to those used in the 10 most restrictive states, excess deaths would have been an estimated 10% to 21% lower than the 1.18 million that actually occurred during the 2-year period analyzed. The more restrictive states were in the northeast and the least restrictive were in the south and west.”
In general, Republican controlled states ignored science and refused masking, closures, mandatory immunizations, and other measures which would have saved more of their citizen’s lives.
They just didn’t kill Republicans. Democrats and Independents in their states also died unnecessarily as a result of their political approach to the pandemic.
The people who wouldn’t wear a mask to protect their fellow citizens, wore gauze on their ears to support their Dear Leader at the Republican National Convention.
Lesson learned: Voting Democratic saves people’s lives.
