LurkerMom: Despite Biden's campaign pledge to "shut down the virus"...
He did.
After Biden took office, on January 22, 2021 the United States was averaging 184,230 cases of Covid-19 per day. A month later, on February 21, cases were down to an average of 66,231 per day. By June 22 cases were down to an average of 11,378 per day.
So from 184,230 cases of Covid-19 per day on average to 11,378 per day on average in 5 months.
When the second variant wave came in the winter of 2022, Trump was telling his rally crowds they didn't need to mask, didn't need to social distance, and didn't need a booster (although he got a booster). The Trump cult was screaming FREEDUM! TYRANNY!
As a result, Trump cultists who lived in counties that voted 60% or higher for Trump in November 2020 had 2.26 times the death rate of those that lived in counties that voted by the same percentage for Biden. Counties with a higher share of Trump votes had even higher mortality rates.
The Trump cult 'stupided' itself to death.
And I do mean stupided:
According to a recent analysis by Brown University, nearly 320,000 lives nationwide could have been saved if more people had chosen to get vaccinated. The Brown analysis also shows a partisan split in how those preventable deaths are distributed. States that went most heavily for Trump -- including Wyoming and West Virginia -- have among the highest rates of preventable deaths, while states that voted heavily for Biden -- such as Massachusetts and Vermont -- had among the lowest.Biden couldn't
make the stupids get vaccinated or take other simple precautions so they died. Needlessly. But they did have their freedom and did own the libs. Until they were dead.
