Your chart of the states seems to be missing Connecticut- was this on purpose? I know firsthand they are monkeying around with their data, because I was in the system during this period.

Also, I have a theory about NYC and Arizona. Just spitballing here, but I live near the border with NYC and their state funded hospital system is crumbling under the pressure from Covid and it has never recovered- at bit like the NHS. Qualified employees have left that expensive area and they are struggling to find new ones to fill in the gaps. Could that account for the high deaths? I remember one video of one such hospital during covid that forced everyone on a vent and a whistleblower nurse filmed it all- they even put a young man on the vent and she begged them not to because it was a death sentence, but they did it anyway. He died days later.

And as for Arizona, could these death numbers include Mexicans who were transferred to AZ hospitals during covid waves? I remember them allowing that during various stages of the pandemic...

I wonder if there is a correlation of excess mortality with percent of the elderly that are vaccinated, and if so, the # of shots they have had? I am a general internist, and I think my elderly patients are most positive about and also getting the most boosters. But we can't really assess dose-response well, can we? I really think of the vaxxes as being exposures to something toxic, the spike protein or LNP or both, and now we have folks with as many as 5 shots, and maybe an acute Covid bout in there too, which to me means potentially 6 exposures to a toxin. Just my thoughts as a physician.
