Interesting, eh? The areas of the States less likely to be vaccinated are the ones with more excess deaths.

Remember that line that you heard on reddit that you like to stupidly repeat without fully understanding it? The one about correlation?
This is a study about correlation. They did not isolate vaccines. You’re connecting it. Maybe it is the vaccines and maybe not.
But then, your politically biased report also didn’t factor in a few other things that happened right around the same time - liberal states shut down stores, restaurants, and businesses harder than conservative states. Liberals also voluntarily locked themselves in their basements.
What’s that line about correlation that you stupidly repeat without fully understanding it again?
Interesting though, eh? More elephants and donkeys than usual are dying at about the same rate, until the vaccines arrive. Then the elephants start dropping faster.
But you're right. It could be more elephants are living near toxic chemical plants and the prevailing winds have shifted. Or maybe the elephants are having a run of bad horoscopes. Or maybe it's the Ivermectin they're taking. Who knows?
Elephants are liberals.
