I think you're cherry picking this data. Your chart shows that Asians are even more highly vaccinated in California than Whites (by a substantial margin), but their share of deaths has increased by a much smaller amount and remains below their share of the population. Most of the shift is between Whites and Hispanics, the two largest demographic subgroups. The fact that the absolute rate of Covid deaths has declined substantially makes survivor bias a more plausible explanatory factor, a priori. Survivor bias is less plausible for explaining shifts in inter-country all-cause mortality patterns, since absolute rates have increased post-omicron in many highly vaccinated countries. But this California data, by itself, doesn't convince me that the vaccines are playing a major role.

Asians are more likely to care for family members / are more family-oriented / more likely to live in intergenerational homes and eat WAY healthier than white people. That's why.

You said "Omicron" like you think it is/was a real thing.

Bill Gates admits that the Omicron strain of SARS-2 acted as a vaccine

Assuming that SARS-CoV-2 came from a lab, which I think pretty much everyone not reliant on NIH grants now openly acknowledges, from the outset one of several conjectures is that a lab was working on a vaccine against HIV.

There you go again. Gates twists everything to fit his bigger narrative. Gotta get the serfs to believe in the Viral Mythology fable so as to make them more controllable.

Asian covid mortality seems to differ greatly worldwide from whites for an unknown reason

It's been noted that there could have been some natural immunity in certain populations even before the SARS-CoV-2 appeared on the scene. So far as I know, it is not controversial that SARS type coronaviruses are endemic to China. Thus it's a reasonable guess that there would be more likely natural immunity in those populations closest to natural virus lairs.

I'm not that familiar with, say, data in Western countries broken down by demographic group. On the other hand, the differences are not so great between East Asia and, for example, Australasia and Scandinavia (bar Sweden). In particular, both Covid- and all-cause mortality *trends* during the pandemic have been similar in these regions: relatively low pre-omicron, then exploded. While Covid mortality has abated (at least in official figures, which are more or less not even being published any more), all these regions continue to suffer from what looks like chronic all-cause excess mortality, and at comparable levels (maybe even higher in East Asia than in Scandinavia). All such countries are, moreover, highly vaxxed and boosted, so they exemplify the apparent failure of mass vaccination.

Because Asians are extremely compliant. It’s absolutely pathetic to behold. I see them everyday at the coast with no one around wearing a mask. Pure insanity…
