Re. Rogan & Musk trying to bully @PeterHotez into having a "debate" w/raving lunatic, serial liar & convicted drug trafficker RFK Jr., here's @KFF's estimate, which put U.S. #COVID19 deaths attributable to not getting vaccinated at ~234K as of April 2022: healthsystemtracker.org/brief/covid19-…
...and here's my own estimate (using cruder methodology) which put it at between 180K - 235K as of March 2022:

Finally, while this one doesn't try to specify the hard number who died due to not getting vaccinated specifically, here's the U.S. COVID death rate broken out by vaccination rate at the county level from 5/01/21 - 2/11/23:

Two notable things about this last graph: First, it isn't just that the least-vaccinated tenth of the U.S. population had 2.7x the COVID death rate as the most-vaccinated tenth, but how *linear* the death rate reduction is as you move from the least to most vaccinated brackets.
Second, this graph is virtually a mirror image of the COVID death rate breakout by *partisan lean* over the same time period: It ran 2.7x higher in the reddest tenth of the U.S. as in the bluest tenth (defined as the % who voted for Trump in 2020):
And of course when you compare the partisan lean of every U.S. county to its COVID vaccination rate, well...yeah.
