Having written several books about the evils of Bush/Cheney, and otherwise decried the propaganda of the GOP, and election theft committed mainly by Republicans (work that landed my name on the Professor Watch List, a rightist index of Bad Academics), I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be sending out a piece like this, by Kathy Dopp (who isn't a Republican, either).

But facts are facts, and policies have consequences; so here is Kathy's startling overview of how states run by Democratic governors have fared throughout this crisis, in comparison with states run by Republicans.

From Kathy Dopp:

Do you wonder why the US has the 11th highest death rate out of its population worldwide; and why the U.S. rate of increase of its deaths out of its total population is trending higher than in Spain, Italy, and France --- so that the U.S. death rate out of its total population could soon surpass those countries'?

States led by Democratic Governors, more generally, have enacted legislation making it difficult for doctors to prescribe, and pharmacies to sell, hydroxychloroquine & azithromycin & zinc for treating Covid-19 patients.

I hypothesized --- because U.S. Democrats and liberal media have vehemently opposed using hydroxychloroquine, regardless of dozens of studies and reports worldwide showing hydroxychloroquine effectively removes the SARS-COV-2 virus from the body --- that U.S. states with Democratic Governors are more likely to have higher death rates than states led by Republican Governors.

Here are the results using today's data from https://ncov2019.live/data (from earlier this afternoon).

STATE LED BY    Total Pop.                   # Deaths                     Death Rate per 1000 Pop
Democratic Governor 
183794368
                 70095



0.00038
Republic Governor    
148576180
19544



0.00013


The death rate due to Covid-19 is 2.9 times higher in states led by Democratic Governors than in states led by Republican Governors, who, presumably, are *not* trying to prevent doctors from using hydroxychloroquine and also have less rigid lockdown policies.  The Democratic-led states have almost 2 (1.95) times the total number of "confirmed cases" out of total population (which I know is not necessarily a meaningful number), but still have almost 3 (2.90) times the total number of deaths out of the total population of Republican-led states!

ALMOST 3 TIMES GREATER DEATH RATE TODAY OVERALL IN DEMOCRATIC- LED STATES THAN IN STATES LED BY REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS!!

The Democrats better watch out when November elections roll around, as We the People surely will find out that they've been withholding the cure for Covid-19 simply because, as NYU Professor of Communications Mark Crispin Miller says,

"Ditto-heads come in two flavors, blue and red. The red ones yell, 'Whatever Trump says, I believe it!' The blue ones yell, 'Whatever Trump says, I believe the opposite!' Thus Trump controls the 'thinking' on both sides."

USA COVID-19 Stats as of May 20, 2020

Only two studies --- one funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the other designed by Dr. Fauci -- were artificially contrived to show hydroxychloroquine was dangerous and ineffective. The Gates-funded study was designed to show that hydroxychloroquine (HQ) has severe side effects---by giving double the safe and effective dosages to people without the virus.  Dr. Fauci designed two studies to show that hydroxychloroquine was ineffective---by giving HQ only to late- stage dying patients, for whom the treatment came too late, while withholding it from patients having mild to moderate Covid-19 cases.
