This thread is pure stupidity and bias.
This thread starter tried to keep it simple and looked at the state as a whole via the electoral vote and the total vaccinated of each state. In contrast, vaccinations are monitor by counties / districts within each state by government organization like the CDC.
Another key difference, the density (population) of each city is looked at for Covid infections. One would think based upon the thread starter logic that a state that Trump won very easily while Biden won a few counties / districts within the state that Trump won...
Yet, the population within those counties / districts that Biden won have the most vaccinated residences.
How's that possible if Trump won the electoral for that state ?
Those counties / districts that Biden won within a state that Trump won the electoral...the counties / districts that Biden won have a density with the most vulnerable individuals that the state made a priority to get vaccinated.
Maybe someone has already done the proper vaccination math and counted a more accurate picture via looking at the vaccination numbers by each county / district...I really don't know but the CDC does keep in-depth details of the vaccination rate in each county / district of each state.
- It's a known vaccination fact...the urban cities have the most vaccination centers and the most vaccinated individuals @ https://www.npr.org/sections/health...-farther-behind-in-covid-19-vaccination-rates
I've looked at a few states that I have relatives living within that Trump won the electoral...there are a few counties / districts of the Trump state that Biden won a few counties / districts within the state and the Biden counties are more vaccinated.
In addition, the CDC looks at where the Covid outbreaks are at in the United States...a person could look at the political makeup of those counties / districts that have the Covid outbreaks to determine if Trump / Biden voters are causing the Covid outbreaks...
That would be waste of time in my opinion.
Now imagine if people had to answer a question prior to being able to get vaccinated...Did you vote for Trump or Biden ?
Can you imagine the conspiracy theories that will grow out of such a question just to get vaccinated. Just the same, now imagine if every hospital asked each patient that tested positive for Covid and the patient is severely sick...doing the same thing...
Who did you vote for...Trump of Biden ?
---------
- My point, if someone truly wanted the vaccination numbers from a political perspective...they would look at the counties / districts voting records and then compare it with the addresses of the vaccination records and not look at whom won the state electoral vote.
Talk about an invasion of privacy if someone had access to that information.
---------
People now are in a panic again after all the recent news of Covid Delta Variant outbreaks in the United States...people on both sides of the political spectrum are looking for whom to blame and their stupidity is causing them to believe in error that Covid Delta Variant is very simple in that it knows how you voted.
It must be a Red state versus Blue state...wrong answer.
- When they hear and see the hospital facts...Covid is now hitting +90% of the unvaccinated population...

Right. The objective of tracking vaccinations in states/counties is to determine resistance to large outbreaks, ie herd immunity.
But what I will say is there really is no such thing as bad data if it is accurate. The hypothesis and conclusion is the trouble here, with Mr. @Mercor
Although, what I will say is it depends on where you are in the US as to whether there is panic over the Delta variant. Where I’m at there really is no panic because we have a relatively high vaccination rate. Nothing is really limited here and no public health officials or leaders are throwing red flags otherwise. Tracking vaccinations by congressional districts would be rather difficult as we mobilize health departments down to the county level and some congressional districts comprise multiple counties. The cross referencing and updating on that would be rather difficult. Or at least I would assume so.
It is, however, sad to see healthcare officials in states like Missouri and now Florida pleading for action and assistance and it falling on deaf ears.
