📣📣 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): 
ALASKA: Both graphs are kind of all over the map, but then again, Alaska has some very unusual geography and demographics:
ARIZONA: Heeeeere we go: As the vaccination rates steadily go down, the death rates steadily go up. Of course 60% of AZ's population is in one county which I'm sure skews the results:
ARKANSAS: Again, not much of a pattern in vaxx rates...so not much of one in death rates:
CALIFORNIA: A clear pattern on the left...and a pretty clear pattern on the right.
#GetVaxxed #GetBoosted #MaskUp

COLORADO. Again, aside from a few small outliers, looks like a pretty clear connection.
CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, DC, HAWAII, RHODE ISLAND: As always, I'm lumping all 5 together because none have more than a handful of counties individually; included for completeness. Even so, there's still a slight mirror effect.
FLORIDA: As I've noted repeatedly, Miami-Dade County's *death rate* since June seems to be pretty much in line w/what I'd expect; it's their alleged *vaccination rate* which seems to be a huge outlier...likely due to "vaccine tourism."
GEORGIA. The Peach State has a HUGE number of counties given its size (only Texas has more of them, but it's much larger in both population & land area).
IDAHO.
INDIANA:
IOWA:
KANSAS:
KENTUCKY: Anyone starting to notice a pattern?
LOUISIANA:
MAINE: Notice how even with only a small downward slope on the left it's still matched by a similar upward slope on the right?
MARYLAND:
MASSACHUSETTS:
MICHIGAN (my home state). Detroit makes up nearly 40% of Wayne County.
MINNESOTA:
MISSISSIPPI.
COVID has killed 1 out of every 289 Mississippi residents to date.

MISSOURI. Whoa. 👀
MONTANA.
NEBRASKA. The state stopped reporting ALL county-level case/death data as of 6/30; since then they've kind of/sort of started again...the NY Times has somehow managed to keep track of it:
NEVADA. Like Arizona, the bulk of Nevada's total population can be found in a single county.
NEW HAMPSHIRE. Notice how the vaccination rate line is nearly level...yet there's *still* a small upslope on the death rate. Lack of masking in the redder NH counties?
NEW JERSEY: See New Hampshire above.
NEW MEXICO.
NEW YORK. BRAVO! Check out the NYC boroughs on the right side:
The rest of the states will have to wait until later this afternoon...stay tuned!
📣 OK, I'm back...picking up again with:
NORTH CAROLINA:
NORTH CAROLINA:
NORTH DAKOTA:
OHIO. Welp.
OKLAHOMA:
OREGON. It doesn't get any clearer than this.
(And I've been informed that the CDC data consistently has Baker County's vaxx rate way too high for some reason anyway.)

SOUTH CAROLINA:
SOUTH DAKOTA.
TENNESSEE:
TEXAS: COVID appears to be messing with you...especially the counties which aren't getting vaccinated.
UTAH:
VERMONT:
VIRGINIA:
WASHINGTON STATE:
WEST VIRGINIA. At one time WV led the nation in vaccinating its population. That time is long gone; it now trails every other state *and* territory.
WISCONSIN:
WYOMING:
⚠️ PUT ALL 3,144 COUNTIES TOGETHER AND HERE'S AMERICA* IN ONE IMAGE:
*(50 states + DC; U.S. territories not included)
*(50 states + DC; U.S. territories not included)

P.S. for those claiming I’m “cherry-picking” by starting on 6/30/21, here’s the history since the start of the pandemic. TL; DR: yes, urban blue counties were slammed much harder in the first wave. Since then rural Red America caught up & bypassed it: acasignups.net/21/11/17/red-s…
