The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Oddly enough, in the Philippines there was a move away from the MRNA and AstraZeneca vaccines to the more "traditional" Chinese vaccine, which my Philippine friends got. I got AstraZeneca, but my wife wangled a way through a relative on another island to get Moderna because...Moderna was cool and scarce. I also told her one of the main problems AstraZeneca had was more with women. She wore 3 masks - an N95, and over that a KN95, and then a copper mesh mask all the stars in Manila were wearing over that. So... traditional vs. stylish vs pragmatic (me). I got Moderna later. I became a pin cushion. :)

The Partisan Gap Widened Post-Vaccine:
Before COVID-19 vaccines became widely available, excess death rates between Republican and Democratic voters were nearly identical.

Significant Spike in Republican Deaths:
After April 1, 2021—when all adults became eligible for vaccines—the excess death rate for Republican voters rose to 43% higher than that of Democratic voters.

Concentration in Low-Vaccination Areas: The study found that this partisan mortality gap was significantly wider in counties with lower overall vaccination rates.
