Texas outside Austin is republican voting country, and on average their voters have lower vaccination rates.

Wouldn't this depend on what variant and which wave places are seeing?
I would think this particularly true in places such as Canada with a variety of communities that are not homogenous, which may also be weighted by access to health care and vaccination rates.

Other weird outliers are Quebec, which are seeing x3 the deaths per million that we are seeing in the UK and various parts of Texas that have just exceeded the first wave in terms of hospitalisations.
So far, only the UK and possibly New York State seem to be behaving closely like SA did, but even we seem to be deviating from that now in terms of duration of peaks
