I pointed him to a JAMA article talking about how 78% of people who got covid were found to have signs of myocardia.
He didn't seem to understand that covid is even more heavily associated with myocardia than vaccines are, and that if you want to point at statistics and try to infer causality, that 78% is a much much bigger number than 2%.
Sounds about right. My maga relatives barely have an elementary school understanding of math.
Two are now dealing with long Covid after "owning the libs" by not getting the vaccines.

Because vaccines work, and when groups of people don't take them in the face of a pandemic, they are more likely to get sick and die, which is what happened and continues to happen.

Age adjusted per capita Covid deaths here. Spoiler: the top ten worst are Republican.

I was referring to the question of Florida specifically, not R states in general. Looks like Florida drops way down the list when age adjusted.
Maine has the second oldest population and is third from the bottom on that list.
I swear these maroons will twist their brains in any direction they can to make it so Ron DeSantis didn't kill 72k Floridians through sheer devotion to culture wars.
My grandparents live in Florida. They like DeSantis. They voted for him. They'd vote for him again. He's not my pick but I don't live in Florida. The people chose.
Mine live in florida too and are not happy with how this was handled. Let's hope the people choose better next time.
Mine live in NY and not happy of all that Cuomo got away with killing seniors and then lying about it.
Well if they had loved their parents, they would have moved them home.

How so?
This article is a gross distortion.
Notice how they left out Maryland?
And the author seems ignorant of the fact D.C. is not a state.
Maryland was specifically mentioned in the OP. Reading is fundamental.

Just saw the Jennifer Rubin piece in Wapo. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/03/17/living-in-red-states-can-be-life-threatening/ Of course as the commenters note, none of the cult will ever see it because they’ve all been brainwashed to disbelieve “the libuhrul media.”

Really, who does?
It's people screaming past each other.
You would think the GOP would care, since they are killing off precious voters.
But, it's clearly working for them because voter base doesn't seem to care.
I would love to see a poll asking GOP voters and right-leaning independents to rank what is most important to them: GOP mishandling COVID or Biden being soft on Russia.
