Rasmussen Reports – Jan 12, 2024

A majority of Americans believe COVID-19 vaccines may be to blame for many unexplained deaths, and nearly one-in-four say someone they know could be among the victims.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 53% of American Adults believe it is likely that side effects of COVID-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths – up from 49% a year ago – including 30% who think it’s Very Likely. Thirty-six percent (36%) now don’t say a significant number of deaths have been caused by vaccine side effects, including 16% who believe it’s Not At All Likely. Another 11% are not sure.

Twenty-four percent (24%) of adults say they personally know someone whose death they think may have been caused by side effects of COVID-19 vaccines, while 61% don’t and another 10% are not sure. A year ago, 28% believed someone they know may have died from the vaccine.

The new findings come as Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene holds a hearing today on COVID-19 vaccine safety with witnesses Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Ryan Cole, and Dr. Kirk Milhoan.

The survey of 1,133 American Adults was conducted on January 7-9, 2024 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
