It appears you and I are going to have to agree to disagree.

Mortality rates:

FYI, Texas is 24th-worst, Florida is 27th-worst. WA is eight-best.

Texas' mortality rate is 160 per 100,000

Florida's is 150 per 100,000

Washington state's mortality rate is 67 per 100,000

The hard numbers show TX and FL are over twice as bad as WA.

Vaccination rates (since you believe WA did so poorly):

TX: 29,479 per 100,000 people

FL: 33,134 per 100,000 people

WA: 34,486 per 100,000 people

There does not appear to be any indication that WA is doing poorly in comparison to its peers, according to this graphic. Instead, WA seems to be squarely in the middle of the pack:

Okay, so by what metric is WA doing so poorly?
