Will Humble, the Director of Arizona Public Health Association and former Director of the Arizona Department of Health Services, has some statistics on the Governor Doug Ducey administration’s criminally negligent mismanagement of the Coronavirus pandemic:
In October @PublicHealthAZ published a report establishing #COVID19 as the leading cause of death in #Arizona during the pandemic.
Today we updated the data through the end of 2021. Here's that October report https://t.co/TOU0lh7RxN & the new updated graph. 1/5 pic.twitter.com/mTmtoEavPO

In November we published a report demonstrating that #Arizona was in fact the ONLY state in which #COVID19 was the leading cause of death over the course of the pandemic.
Here's that report: 2/5https://t.co/YbvW74Zlml

Some have suggested #Arizona's age or ethnicity demographics are why #AZ is the only state where #COVID19 has been the leading cause of death during the pandemic.
Not true. Observe here the much higher mortality rate in AZ among all age groups & most ethnicities (vs WA). 3/5 pic.twitter.com/tAo4Ee3QGx

Our December report showed that #Arizona had the highest increase over expected all-cause mortality in the US in 2021 – with an estimated 36,000 excess deaths occurring in #Arizona due directly or indirectly to the COVID pandemic. 4/5https://t.co/THyYeSjeAg

These dubious & lethal distinctions are the direct result of the decisions made by @dougducey, former @AZDHS Director Christ and most recently Interim Director Don Herrington.
They are NOT because of "bad luck".

Unvaccinated Republicans and Trump supporters are celebrating the record number of COVID cases that they caused by blaming President Biden. “Republicans Cause COVID Surge Then Blame Biden”, https://www.politicususa.com/2021/12/30/republicans-cause-covid-surge-then-blame-biden.html
Republicans blaming Biden for the COVID surge is like an arsonist setting their house on fire and blaming the fire department for not putting it out fast enough.
60% of Republicans are unvaccinated: Everyone knows who is behind this effort to use COVID to sabotage the Biden presidency, and it is not Joe Biden.
Republicans aren’t owning Biden or scoring political points. Unvaccinated Republicans are lemmings who are jumping off the COVID cliff.
The GOP is killing its voters to blame Biden for the pandemic, which has taken political obstruction [sabotage] to a new dark and deadly level.
Arizona ended the year with a massive surge in Covid cases. “Arizona reports 7,720 more COVID cases, most in a year”, https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-health-arizona-phoenix-52a5b3f13ae7e42f09f531e9d9e4c6f2

[A] top official of Phoenix-based Banner Health, the state’s largest health care chain, said Tuesday that the current bulge of COVID-19 hospitalizations is not expected to peak until mid-January.
