> COVID Death Rate per 100,000, by State

For the point the article is trying to make, this is a useless metric.

Do death rate per 100,000 starting after vaccines were generally available and the partisanship lean will be much more apparent.

Show death statistics vs. time. Initially, there were regions that were horribly hit (NY, Italy, ...) and then things shifted as first management and then vaccines appeared. Now, the issues seem to be the power of Delta and the sheer pig-headedness about vaccines.

Here's cases vs time - it's pretty clear from the graph when the vaccines became available: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/pbzaeg/oc_...
