Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the link between excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic and political partisanship in Brazil, focusing on death rates and election results from 2018 and 2022.
- It was found that municipalities with higher votes for former President Bolsonaro correlated with increased excess deaths during the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021.
- Despite the rising mortality rates, support for Bolsonaro did not waver in the 2022 elections, reflecting Brazil's tribal politics and strong emotional ties to political groups.
