A troubling new study has found that deaths and severe illnesses caused by Covid mRNA vaccines are higher in Republican-voting American states.
The study, published in the prestigious JAMA Network Open medical journal, found that the rates of adverse events among the Covid vaccinated were lower in Democrat-voting states.

In the study’s paper, the University of Pennsylvania-led research team wrote that “mortality has been higher in US jurisdictions that are more conservative in their party registration, voting history, or representation.”
The researchers also found that the adverse events (AE) suffered by Republican voters were more severe than
