It wasn’t my theory.  I was quoting a guy named John K Clark, who opined thus:

 

 

>…Well ... some people don't know much. Let's do some historical research and divide Americans from January 2020 into two groups: 

 

>…1) People who got their news primarily from Twitter/X, Breitbart and Fox.

 

>…2) People who got their news primarily from Science, Nature and The New York Times.

 

>…You'll find that people from group #2 were FAR more likely to live through the next 2 years without dying from Covid than people from group #1. Why is that? Because ignorance can be lethal, although people from group #1 wouldn't explain it that way, they would say the only reason it's true is because reality has a liberal bias…

 

 

Well OK then, I will bite.  I looked at it.  The surviving people have spoken.
