There are urban and rural states on both sides of the graph. States with lots of death in wave 1 and very little. States with young and old people.
Basically every variable is pretty evenly distributed along the graph EXCEPT vaccination rate.
If you are positing there is a better explanation for the trend shown in the graph, provide evidence.
Feeble attempts at casting doubt seem to be the best you folks can do.
Pandemic of the unvaccinated.
I am calling cherry picking by the lack of reasonble support. Cherry pickers from both sides suck. You are a cherry picker defending this crap data set.
Lol bro I respect the effort
We know vaccines prevent COVID deaths at ~95% efficacy.
That should give us a very very strong prior that a state with more vaccination should have less COVID deaths.
That is what the data show — a very very strong correlation.
Of course there are other variables at play but given the causative effect of vaccination on COVID deaths, we should deem this correlation very credible!
I am open to data that explains this correlation in another way, but assuming vaccines are driving the disparity in COVID deaths between states is quite plausible.
Again, if your only argument is “something else might be driving this correlation besides the most rational explanation” then you need to provide evidence of that “something else.”
