📣 MICHIGAN: A case study in how the #COVID19 partisan "hoax"/anti-science divide led to the COVID partisan vaccination divide:

Remember this, from @KatherineEban?
Well, that eventually led to this, which I've been much-criticized for daring to even track over the past year:
As I said last summer...
...and sure enough, 9 months later, we have this:
nytimes.com/2021/04/14/us/…
...and this... washingtonpost.com/health/2021/04…
...which led to the @NYTimes FINALLY admitting the obvious: nytimes.com/interactive/20…
And so, I've taking it closer to home; I'm tracking vaccination levels at the county level here in Michigan. Here's where things stand today (the 12 counties which voted for Biden actually have 55% of Michigan's population, while the 71 which voted for Trump only have 45%):
Statewide, the Blue counties have vaccinated 10% (3.3 points) more of their residents than the Red counties.
This may not sound *too* dramatic until you realize that the Red counties have *22% more senior citizens per capita*. If anything, they should be way AHEAD so far.
UPDATE: No offense to @JoeKanter, but if he'd been following me for the past year this wouldn't have caught him off guard, which is kind of my point. #JustSaying
