Sounds like bull squeeze to me.
Excess Death Rates for Republican and Democratic Registered Voters in Florida and Ohio During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
This article found that the overall excess death rates among Republicans age 25 and older was 15% in the period of January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2021. The reason the time frame used predates the pandemic is to give the background death rate (can't determine excess deaths without knowing the typical number of deaths). But when the researchers looked only at the period in which vaccines became available, the excess death rate of Republicans jumped to 43% higher than Democrats.
JAMA is the Journal of the American Medical Association and is one of the top medical journals. Other researchers have published similar findings in other journals.
The reason for the excess deaths is the misinformation that has been deliberately spread among conservative forums and media. Prior to vaccine availability, the misinformation focused on convincing people that measures to reduce disease spread like social distancing and masking are not only ineffective, but dangerous. (At the time, the propagandists said that we had to wait until vaccines become available in order to fight the pandemic. Ha.) Once vaccines became available, the primary misinformation message changed to the typical antivax propaganda that has been around for centuries, with special components invented specifically to scare people about Covid vaccines. As a result, too many Republicans became scared to get vaccinated and their vaccination rate is significantly lower than that of Democrats.
Dr. Fauci had this statement on the subject of misinformation and higher Republican excess death rates:
"This is one of the most difficult problems that we are facing and that we all face in the future. There has always been a small element in the country of antivax and anti-science. And with the political divisiveness, in which public health has taken a political intonation to it, where we know that if you look demographically at the country, it is less likely for a red state to get vaccinated against COVID, than it is for a blue state. And deaths among COVID are more in red states than they are in blue states. That is terribly tragic, that a political ideology is going to be responsible for whether or not you are healthy or not, sick or not, or dead or not." (He goes on to describe the challenge for public health to combat misinformation, but I'm not going to transcribe all of that.)

The scientific community does not think it is fair for people to be more likely to die just because they pull the "R" lever in the voting booth. Doesn't that tell you something?
