đŸ§” Scores of people have called my attention to the new NBER study by @paulgp, @jwswallace and @jasonlschwartz confirming that COVID deaths have been MUCH higher among Republicans than Democrats since the moment the vaccines became widely available. 1/

This morning I noted that the first week of 2021 (Omicron) looks very different than the last 6 months of 2021 (Delta).

First 2 graphs: Case/Death rates from 7/01/21 - 12/31/21

Second 2 graphs: Case/Death rates for the first 6 days of 2022 (w/projections for the full month): ImageImageImageImage
When looked at by *vaccination rate* it's a similar story, but far less dramatic of a shift (so far): Case rates are actually *higher* in the most-vaxxed counties, but death rates are still much higher in the least-vaxxed counties...just less so than during the Delta wave. ImageImageImageImage
Again, the second set of graph only include the first 6 days of January; each additional day of data can shift these around dramatically. And of course the new wave hit the big, densely-populated cities first (as prior waves have) so it makes sense that they'll get slammed first.

Well this doesn't bode well: Neither Florida, New York, Georgia or Michigan have had any new cases/deaths added at @Worldometers today yet.
Well, now they have anyway...
Up to 438K now with just 3 states left to report (WA, ID, AK). A few like CA & TX may have additional updates later this evening as well.

Any news outlet who allows journalists to say (unquestioned) that there's no evidence wearing a mask lowers the risk of infection, when the scientific community almost unanimously says it protects others...

You will have blood on your hands.

Thread:
1⃣ @TheLancet is pretty much the top scientific journal in the world. Here are their findings.

2⃣ The Centre for Disease Control has shared several studies documenting the evidence that it prevents the spread of the disease by stopping the droplets leaving your face.

Get a more concrete feel for how urgent it is to slow #COVID19 by everyone wearing masks NOW, from visual simulations in this 4-min video. Masking protects your community—not just you #UniversalMasking #masks4all #wearafuckingmask #maskupnow
Been working round the clock since Feb on the urgency of universal masking w/multidisciplinary team of @guypgoldstein @AlexeyMorgunov @V_alien @AnnaRotkirch —theoretical predictive modeling, empirical evaluation, public policy. Key recommends from white paper & research article:
1. Masking should be mandatory or strongly recommended for the general public when in public transport and public spaces, for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic

#MetsTonPutainDeMasque - #WearAFuckingMask pour empĂȘcher le #COVID19 de courir ! A Wuhan en Chine et Ă  Daegu en CorĂ©e du Sud, j’ai compris que le port du đŸ˜· permettait d’éviter la transmission du #coronavirus par des porteurs sans symptĂŽme #foustacagoule wearafuckingmask.com/?fbclid=IwAR1_

It’s time to start a movement to get more people to Wear Fucking Masks. We need to dispel the myth that mask wearing in public is only for people in Asia. #WearAFuckingMask #WeekendProject wearafuckingmask.com 1/
Background: I lived through SARS in 2003 and was one of those people that didn’t wear a Fucking mask:

“Fucking masks can’t filter viruses. Fucking Masks are for Fucking cowards.”

I was Fucking wrong. I Fucking missed the point. #WearAFuckingMask wearafuckingmask.com 2/
Fucking surgical masks keep you from spraying droplets on other people when you talk, cough or sneeze. These droplets might contain Fucking viruses which will Fucking infect other people. #WearAFuckingMask wearafuckingmask.com 3/
