Moral of the story- these 'vaccines' do not work and have caused more harm than good. But what are we going to do? Boosters! Following the science so hard.
The chart is a little tricky since the overall colour is whitened for the smaller counties due to the white border between them. Nonetheless it is consistent with COVID-19 transmission rates being higher in areas where vitamin D levels are lower, due to lower amounts of ~295nm UV-B light from the sun at higher latitudes, less time spent outdoors without clothing protection at these latitudes due to lower temperatures, and also due to people with black or brown skin synthesizing less vitamin D3 for any given level of UV-B skin exposure.
It seems that most people think that the seasonality of COVID-19 and influenza, in areas more than about 30 degrees from the equator, is due to people spending more time indoors when meeting others (outside their family group) in winter, with closed windows. I think this is a factor, but only a minor one compared to the seasonal changes in 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels.
If your thesis was valid, the Southwest and southern West would be just as light-colored as the South. They aren't, despite being at the same latitude. Sorry!
The 2021 map has lighter colors, generally, than the 2020 chart. This appears especially in the Southeast and Plains regions. The gradient and overall regional patterns echo 2020 strongly.
One example is South Dakota, now with about 400 cases a day, vs. over 1,000 a day a year ago. The state's spike to over 1,400 cases a day was mid-November 2020. No big spike this November.
All those unvaccinated southerners sending all their virus northward even more efficiently than last year.
haha! good one!
Data is beautiful when you get the presentation right.

Please see my article on this https://nutritionmatters.substack.com/p/covid-19-seasonality-is-primarily and the research articles I cite at: "What every MD, immunologist, virologist and epidemiologist should know about vitamin D and the immune system" https://vitamindstopscovid.info/05-mds/ .

Nope, can't be vitamin D. Southerners spend less time outside than midwesterners.
Facts are hard!
Okay, but what about death rates? Lower thanks to vaccines.
Love the woke zombie!
Thank you...when I share this I am sure the people I share it with will cry "false information"! :-) But I will anyway.

Everything seems to be offset about 3-4 weeks from last year- the curves turn upwards later this year for whatever reason you might guess.

Slight differences, the NW is darker. Southeast quite a lot lighter. Contrasting daily in animation would be really interesting.
