New findings join other reviews of politics and the pandemic The study was funded by the Tobin Center for Economic Policy at Yale University and the Yale School of Public Health COVID-19 Rapid Response Research Fund. And because data about the vaccination status of each of the 538,159 people who died in the two states wasn't available, researchers could only go as granular as the county level in assessing excess deaths and vaccination rates.
The researchers' data also did not specify a cause of death, and it accounts for some 83.5% of U.S. And because the researchers drilled into data in Florida and Ohio, they warn that their findings might not translate to other states. The study focused only on registered Republicans and Democrats independents were excluded. The researchers note that their study has several limitations, including the chance that political party affiliation "is a proxy for other risk factors," such as income, health insurance status and chronic medical conditions, along with race and ethnicity.
The study doesn't provide all the answers In the researchers' adjusted analysis of the period after April 1, 2021, they calculated Democratic voters' excess death rate at 18.1, and Republicans' at 25.8 - a 7.7 percentage-point difference equating to a 43% gap.Īfter the gap was established in the summer of 2021, it widened further in the fall, according to the study's authors. When coronavirus vaccine access widened, so did the excess death gap. Things changed as the summer of 2021 approached. The researchers estimated excess mortality based on how the overall rate of deaths during the pandemic compared to what would have been expected from historical, pre-pandemic trends.Īs they calculated excess death rate data for Florida and Ohio, the researchers found only small differences between Republican and Democratic voters in the first year of the pandemic, with both groups suffering similarly sharp rises in excess deaths that winter. adults became eligible to receive shots of the COVID-19 vaccines. It used May 1, 2021, as a key dividing line because the date marks a month after all U.S. The study collected weekly death counts, breaking down the deceased's party ties along with their county and age cohort. 31, 2021, at ages 25 and over, compiling their political party affiliations based on records from 2017. Researchers analyzed data related to 538,159 people who died between Jan. It's the latest research to suggest the perils of mixing partisan politics with medical advice and health policy. The different rates "were concentrated in counties with lower vaccination rates, and primarily noted in voters residing in Ohio," according to the study that was published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine on Monday. More specifically, the researchers say, their adjusted analysis found that "the excess death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters" after vaccine eligibility was opened.
Researchers from Yale University who studied the pandemic's effects on those two states say that from the pandemic's start in March 2020 through December 2021, "excess mortality was significantly higher for Republican voters than Democratic voters after COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults, but not before." But after COVID-19 vaccines arrived, Republican voters in Florida and Ohio died at a higher rate than their counterparts, according to a new study.
