Retired Sociology/Demography professor. I know the United States has an awfully high middle aged death rate. My goal is to explain it well enough to get people to fix it.

Here is a USA state map where the states are colored and numbered to show the difference between the state's age 20-64 and age 65+ death rate.s R's close to 2.0 mean that the state's middle age death rate has been constantly going up while the elderly is going down. Click ALT. 🧪💡☠️ #Sociology

This is a finished version of a graph I posted about two weeks ago that examines the Evangelical effect on state population aged 0-19 death rates. This analysis estimates excess Evangelical deaths add 31.9% to our young death rates. Click ALT to see the full description. 🧪💡☠️ #Sociology

Here I make an abnormal use of that most used statistic, the correlation, aka r. Here I use it to show how deaths rates by single year age and race/ethnic group in the United States has changed from 1999 through 2023. Click ALT for more info. 🧪💡☠️ #Sociology

Here I present a new view of religion and death rates by separately looking at the effect of state percent Evangelical and state percent non-Evangelical Christian on state total death rates. The lines on the below graphs are hints. Click the first ALT to see description. 🧪💡☠️ #Sociology

Another set of words about the relationship between percent Evangelical and death rates. This one focuses on the low point in 2010 and what it can tell us what anti-science religion does to young death rates. Click ALT to read more with the graph. 🧪💡☠️ #Sociology

Here is a theory, no data to support it, about why Trump supports global warming: His boss wants global warming because it would make more of Russia warm enough to farm and used for a lot of other things. They think it would grow the useful Russia. 🧪💡☠️ #Sociology.

This fixes my messed up attempt to show total COVID death rates for years 2020 through 2023. I deleted my messed up version and here is the fixed one. I will start with translating Alabama's number into English so you can better understand those you are interested in. 🧪💡☠️ #Sociology

As I look at the things Trump has killed I kind of see a pattern that reminds me of the Evangelical elite's view of what they feed their suckers/followers to turn and keep them in the sucker/follower role. Anybody else trying to take the a large view of what is going on want to argue? 🧪 #Sociology

These two states show the 2018-2023 total gun death rates for states for males and females on separate maps. I put both maps on the same color scale so there is little female differences shown so you may have to rely on reading numbers for the female's map. To see more click ALT. 🧪 💡 ☠️ #Sociology
