New research points to more deaths among Republicans than Democrats after the COVID-19 vaccine was released in the U.S., as a study found the excess death rate was 76% higher for members of the GOP
As the pandemic progressed, Republicans and Democrats diverged over how to respond to the new disease. Republicans were more likely to ditch masks, and demand that public health restrictions be lifted especially in schools and businesses.Dr. Anthony Fauci, appearing on MSNBC's"Up With Chris Hayes" in July 2021, said:"We're not asking anybody to make any political statement one way or another.
"Here we have a vaccine that's highly, highly effective in preventing disease and certainly in preventing severe disease and hospitalization," said Fauci, the chief medical advisor to the president."It's easy to get, it's free and it's readily available so you've got to ask, 'What is the problem?' Get over it, Get over this political statement. Just get over it and try and save the lives of yourself and your family.
The Yale professors — Jacob Wallace and Jason L. Schwartz of the Yale School of Public Health and Paul Goldsmith-Pinkham of the Yale School of Management — wrote that there was evidence that Republican-leaning counties had higher COVID death rates than did Democratic-leaning ones, but not whether that association persisted among individuals.
“The challenge, of course, is whether it’s really about Republicans vs. Democrats living in these areas, or just the areas where individuals sort into are different.” Goldsmith-Pinkham tweeted.
