Serious question: Aside from requiring proof of vaccination to fly or use other federally-controlled transportation, what else could the Biden Admin legally do to boost the U.S. vaxx rate that it isn’t already doing?
Several people have suggested raising health insurance premiums on the willingly unvaccinated. That’s not legal for a very good reason: acasignups.net/21/08/04/there…
Having said that, EMPLOYERS can raise their unvaccinated employees PORTION of their insurance premiums if they wish, as Delta Airlines is doing.
(OK, technically I believe they REDUCE premiums for VACCINATED employees by calling it a “wellness discount” but it amounts to the same thing.)

📣📣 THREAD: Last week I posted the *county-level* COVID vaccination rates of all 50 states by partisan lean.

TODAY, I'm posting the county-level COVID *death rates* of all 50 states by partisan lean.

Note: These don't include a small # whose county of residence is unknown. 1/
--I'm posting the vaxx graphs side by side with the death rate graphs for easy comparison.

--Death rates for all counties are since 6/30/21, since a) that's roughly when the Delta wave started in the U.S. and b) every American 12+ had ample ability to get vaxxed by that point.
ALABAMA: Not much of a pattern in death rates...but also not much of one in vaxx rates (basically, vaxx rates are low across the board): ImageImage

This is getting some traction again thanks to @jonathanweisman’s piece yesterday and the controversy regarding his framing of it (which I have mixed feelings about), so here it is again: acasignups.net/21/11/17/red-s…
Here’s what the cumulative COVID county-level death rate looked like by Trump’s 2020 vote as of July 2020, after the first wave ended. It was 7.6x higher in the Bluest tenth of the country than the Reddest tenth.
By Election Day 2020, the Reddest counties had already started to @catch up:” The bluest bracket was only twice as high cumulatively as the reddest bracket:

For those criticizing @jonathanweisman's framing (especially by citing my own data/analysis in response):

First, while I appreciate the props, if you read the article, you'll see that *he* actually cites that exact same data/analysis in the article itself. 1/
The issue is how the same data & the same empirical data is *framed*.

In this post, I stated that the GOP is shrugging off thousands of their own voters dying as "a small price to pay" in return for driving Biden's approval down, and that it's working:
acasignups.net/21/11/03/simpl…
This is pretty much identical to @jonathanweisman's story (which, again, cites my own data to drive home this point).

The difference? My blog post clearly presents this truth as being horrifying & inhumane, while some feel his *tweet* frames it as a clever political strategy.

📣 WEEKLY UPDATE: For those who followed my state-by-state county-level vaccination breakout, here's all 3,144 U.S. counties (+ the territories) with some additional context/details:
acasignups.net/21/11/23/weekl…
📣 For stats folks: Here's how the national county-level R-squared has changed since February. Notice how from mid-March through around mid-September the R^2 increased regardless of other methodology/policy changes. Since then it has leveled off:
Here's the same data in bar graph mode, with each bracket having roughly the same number of U.S. residents.

Notice how the vaxx drop-off is fairly mild until the Trump vote hits around 50%...at which it drops off rapidly:

📣📣 It's been several months, so it's time once again to look at the *county-level* COVID vaccination rates of all 50 states by 2020 partisan lean.

As always, these graphs only include county residents who've received 2 Pfizer/Moderna or 1 J&J dose (boosters not included yet).
📣📣 Other important caveats:

--Every state has a small percent of total vaccinated residents whose county of residence is unknown; those aren't included here.

--The vaccination rates are out of the TOTAL population, not just adults/over 12/over 5.
