The covid virus started under trump's first administration, so yes it was his responsibility as president, and 1.4 million Americans have died from that covid virus, those are the facts.
Those bump ups under Biden? Jesus, it you'd read what I posted earlier on this subject then you wouldn't have posted a graph that SUPPORTS the info below. Thanks for the help!
Did more anti-Covid vax Trump supporters die after the vax was introduced?
YES, fucking yes!
Yes, studies on excess deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic found that the gap in mortality rates between Republican and Democratic voters widened significantly after COVID-19 vaccines became widely available, with Republicans experiencing higher excess death rates. This is strongly associated with differing vaccination attitudes and uptake between the two groups.
Key Findings from the Research
Pre-Vaccine Period: Before the vaccines were widely available (prior to around April 2021), the excess death rates for both Republican and Democratic voters were similar, with only minor differences.
Post-Vaccine Period: After the vaccines were rolled out and available to all adults, the death rates began to diverge sharply. The excess death rate among Republican voters was significantly higher than among Democratic voters.
Magnitude of the Gap: One Yale study, using data from Florida and Ohio, found that the excess death rate gap between Republicans and Democrats widened from 1.6 percentage points to 10.4 percentage points after vaccines were available. Another analysis found that pro-Trump counties had more than double the COVID mortality rates of pro-Biden counties after the vaccine rollout.
Association with Vaccination Rates: The differences in excess death rates were concentrated in counties with lower vaccination rates, which were often pro-Trump counties.
Reasoning: While studies using voter data couldn't directly link individual vaccination status to death records, the strong correlation between political affiliation, lower vaccination rates, and higher death rates suggests that the lower vaccine uptake among many Republicans was a key factor in the increased mortality.
These findings suggest that the politicization of public health measures, including the COVID-19 vaccine, had significant and deadly consequences along partisan lines.
