The partisan gap in Covid-19 deaths worsens as support for Trump increases: "Counties where Trump received at least 70% of the vote have an even higher average Covid death toll than counties where Trump won at least 60%," the Times reported. KFF noted that people were more likely to believe lies about the pandemic--including that the government is exaggerating the number of Covid-19 deaths or covering up deaths due to Covid-19 vaccines--if they relied on right-wing news sources including Newsmax, One America News (OAN), and Fox News.
