'Areas with many Trump supporters will have up to six times the mortality rate of the new Corona.'

Pro-Trump counties now have far higher COVID death rates: Shots --Health News: NPR

A study conducted by NPR began in May 2021 when vaccination with the new coronavirus became available nationwide, with vaccination rates and deaths per 100,000 in approximately 3,000 counties across the United States. The result is as follows. The blue cross is the average of the counties that support Mr. Byden, the red cross is the average of the counties that support Mr. Trump, and the black is the overall average. The higher the axis), the lower the vaccination rate (vertical axis), and with regard to DEATHS (number of deaths), the higher the approval rating (horizontal axis) of Mr. Trump, the more deaths per 100,000 people (vertical axis). The composition that increases is visually shown.
According to the NPR, the county with Trump's approval rating of 60% or more had 2.78 times the death toll of COVID-19 compared to the county with Biden's approval rating of 60% or more. Also, referring to the results as of October 2021, the counties with the highest approval ratings for Mr. Trump had six times the death toll of COVID-19 compared to the counties with the highest approval ratings for Mr. Biden. that's right.
This result is just a rough comparison of the approval rating of presidential candidates by county, the vaccination rate, and the number of deaths. I emphasize that it is not. But even with that in mind, 'Republican supporters have a disproportionately high probability of being affected,' NRP points out.
In the United States, African Americans, younger generations, and rural residents were said to be repelling vaccines, but according to a survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation, vaccines for people in these groups over time. The inoculation rate is improving. However, despite the fact that these groups have begun vaccination, Republican supporters have consistently avoided vaccination.
The graph below shows the percentage of supporters of each political party among all non-vaccinated people. As mentioned above, the percentage of Republican (Republican supporters) who say that the vaccination rate is flat has continued to rise relatively over time because the vaccination rate for African Americans and others is rising. In contrast, Democrats and Independents are declining in proportion as they are well vaccinated.
According to the NPR, this vaccination rate gap is due to the belief in fake news by many Republican supporters. While polls from the Kaiser Family Foundation show that 94% of Republican supporters believe in at least one fake news and 46% believe in four or more fake news about COVID-19 and vaccines. The results show that only 14% of Democratic supporters believe in four or more fake news. The most widely believed fake news is that the government is exaggerating the number of deaths from COVID-19.
NPR took up an episode in which Mark Valentine, known as a radio personality, changed his vaccination claims after losing his unvaccinated brother at COVID-19. I was asked, 'Are you there?', But I answered, 'I have questions and concerns, but I want to get vaccinated anyway.'
