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.

In the wake of the Covid pandemic data there is enough data to process and the findings are not surprising.

While it's dropped significantly since last September, there's still a clear and dramatic correlation between how much of the population has been 2-dose vaccinated and its COVID death rate since May 1, 2021:

The death rate since May 1st, 2021 in the least-vaccinated tenth is still 2.72x higher than the most-vaccinated decile.
The death rate since May 1st, 2021 in the least-vaccinated fifth is still 2.42x higher than the most-vaccinated quintile.

-----------------------------

The death rate since May 1, 2021 in the reddest tenth of the country is still 2.71x higher than in the bluest decile.
The death rate since May 1, 2021 in the reddest fifth of the country is still 2.25x higher than in the bluest quintile.

"In short: Get Vaxxed, Get Bivalent Boosted, and wear a mask when indoors in crowded public locations."
