    I wonder if this was across the board or if the benefits were more concentrated in those with diabetes or pre diabetes ?.

    I can believe people died from the effects of diabetes.

    New report: Watching Fox News Kills

    How The Right Wing Media Killed Its Own Audience To Own The Libs

    “NPR examined COVID deaths per 100,000 people in roughly 3,000 counties across the U.S. from May 2021, the point at which most Americans could find a vaccine if they wanted one. Those living in counties that voted 60% or higher for Trump in November 2020 had 2.26 times the death rate of those that went by the same margin for Biden.

    The scale of the preventable loss of life is staggering. According to a recent analysis by Brown University, nearly 320,000 lives nationwide could have been saved if more people had chosen to get vaccinated. The Brown analysis also shows a partisan split in how those preventable deaths are distributed. States that went most heavily for Trump — including Wyoming and West Virginia — have among the highest rates of preventable deaths, while states that voted heavily for Biden — such as Massachusetts and Vermont — had among the lowest. “

    Data, ie numbers, show that people who followed djt approach died needlessly. I'm a numbers guy because numbers aren't partisan. Lots of people died and many more suffered because they put faith in an idiot that can't even pronounce Yosemite. That's what the data clearly shows. Nothing funny about that.

    I wouldn’t waste your breath. Most of these Trump supporters still think he’s some secret genius despite the multiple bankruptcies, multiple crimes he’s being accused of, and that he actually has policies in place that will benefit them. Lol. These cultists have been lost to the propaganda long ago and can’t admit to it.

    LOL the dailykos!!!!!

    I can’t believe we pay people to make such stupid studies. Seriously! We paid some idiots at brown to make up pure BS so people can feel better about taking a shot they never needed.

    If you want to know why Vermont and Massachusetts did better than West Virginia and Wyoming…it would be because they are two of only 3 states and the District of Columbia that have an obesity rate in the 20s. West Virginia is one of the worst period. But you keep telling yourself it is trump voters and Fox News that are the reason people died from Covid LOL!

    https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/maps/2022/2022-overall-prevalence.csv

    I really am starting to think one of the side effects to the shot is delusion LOL!

    You can’t make this crap up anymore. I know we have an abnormally high amount of people that are part of the 5% still taking the shot. But wow.

    The delusion is true comedy at this point. The crazy thing is they actually believe this crap.

    Note how not a single one will ever address the reality we all knew who this disease killed from the very beginning. They completely ignore the data from the Diamond Princess/Italy/New York that all played out exactly how any honest epidemiologist or public health official would have read the data. Instead we silenced and smeared those that tried to communicate this.

    I just chuckle at how ignorant you have to be. I really think the shot has affected a lot of our friends on the left (sad it became political) lol…

    Because there are better alternative products. There r product was neither as effective as the MRNA vaccines nor as safe, based on clinical tests. It was not cheaper not did it have a niche where the general test results did not hold. Worse products tend to stop existing in competitive markets. I am pretty sure that a basic Marketing or Economics class could explain to you why that is.

    LOL!!!

    “Competitive Markets”

    LOL!!!

    That was a good one md. Nothing like the government paying for a drug most people don’t need and attempting to force it on an entire population. Then they kept buying and subsidizing the drug no one really needed and kept trying to convince people to take it even after they could no longer try and coerce people to take it. But people saw what they did. Hence hardly anyone takes the drug now even though the government still recommends a 6 month old take it.

    LOL!!!

    The AstraZeneca vaccine is not recommended for 6 month olds in the US.

    LOL!

    No duh!

    md was talking all covid shots and the marketplace. And yes our government paid for three drugs that most did not need. And to this day still recommends a 6 month old take one of the two. Thankfully hardly anyone is listening as the marketplace is smarter than the idiots in the government paying for this crap.
