Chris Hayes mentioned this on his program. I wanted to make sure that the numbers were accurate, so I looked up the data and verified the conclusions independently.
Compare two states, Vermont (pop. 623,251) and South Dakota (pop. 896,581).
Both states have Republican governors.
Covid-19 Vaccination rates:
VT: One dose: 74% Two doses: 66% Rank: 1
SD: One dose: 51% Two doses: 46% Rank: 28
Total Covid-19 cases:
VT: 24,445
SD: 124,641
Total Covid-19 Deaths:
VT: 258
SD: 2,039
South Dakota has had FIVE times as many Covid-19 cases and EIGHT times as many deaths.
Policy matters.
Vaccines make a difference.
Please get vaccinated and encourage those around you to do the same.
