On: Pro-Trump counties now have far higher Covid death rates due to misinformation

From the article:

"The trend was robust, even when controlling for age, which is the primary demographic risk of COVID-19 mortality."

I stand corrected then.

However, there is no "even" about it. They should control for age (as they purportedly did), or the results are probably meaningless.

I think it is deceptive that they emphasize the numbers which don't account for that, and I can't find the numbers they get after controlling for age.
