The most depressing and enraging thing you’ll watch today. nytimes.com/2021/08/21/opi…
“I’m more of a libertarian.”
“I’m still not completely, 100% sold on the inoculation.”
“I mean, I think there’s everybody’s individual right of choice to do what they want to.”
He died 9 days after being interviewed for this piece.

#GetVaxxedNOW.
(Oh, for those who inevitably try to shame me for "mocking" him: Fuck you. He SPECIFICALLY chose not to get vaccinated, he SPECIFICALLY agreed to be interviewed, he SPECIFICALLY stated, *while hooked up to expensive hospital machinery*, that this was his "individual choice.")
Meanwhile, his "individual choice" used up a hospital bed & other resources which could have gone to someone else who DIDN'T "choose" to be a selfish prick. For all we know that other person was a child who *can't* get vaccinated yet who was infected BY HIM.
Some folks are noting that he’s at least being consistent about “libertarianism” to the end, but not really. He was using up hospital resources mostly paid for by others instead of building or buying his own BIPAP equipment by the sweat of his own brow, etc.

⚠️ Annnnnnnd there it is: COVID death rate by county since 6/30/21 by Trump 2020 vote, now including Florida, updated as of 9/15/21. Image
Note that besides Nebraska, this doesn’t include several thousand deaths whose county of residence is unknown. Also, some of Florida’s deaths to date still won’t show up for another couple of weeks.
FWIW, the death rate in the reddest bracket is 8.2x higher than in the bluest bracket. Of course, there's only a tiny number of people living in either of those, so it's probably more representative to look at the 5.5x ratio between the 80-90 & 10-20 brackets. Image

📣 BOOM: White House & HHS announce 2.8M additional #ACA enrollees via 2021 SEP & #AmRescuePlan! acasignups.net/21/09/15/boom-…
#ACA SEP enrollment via the 36 HC.gov states is 2.8x higher than for the same period last year (pre-#AmRescuePlan) and 3.7x higher than in 2019 (pre-COVID).
Middle-class enrollees (>400% FPL income) jumped from 2% of #ACA exchange enrollees to 7% thanks to the #AmRescuePlan's subsidy expansion.

Existing #ACA exchange enrollees are saving an additional $67/month apiece thanks to the #AmRescuePlan!

Huh. @goldsteinamy must've gotten an embargoed copy of the final SEP enrollment report because it's still not posted at CMS *or* HHS *or* the ASPE site...but President Biden's statement on the report *is* live at WH.gov: whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
FWIW, it looks like I was off by around ~60K enrollees nationally, although I'll have to see the report itself to be sure ("2.8 million" could easily be rounded up or down by several tens of thousands): acasignups.net/21/08/10/cms-m…
BOOM: The report is now live (via @HHSGov, oddly, not @CMSGov): hhs.gov/about/news/202…
