Polls of the U.S. public continue to show that up to twice as many Americans have lost a household member to a Covid vaccine injury as have lost one to Covid.
The pooled results of five surveys of the American public, now totalling over 2,500 people, show that while 4.4% of respondents reported that a member of their household had died from COVID-19, 8.9% said a member had died as a result of Covid vaccination.
The results also showed that 8.6% said they had been injured by their vaccination, 4.9% that they had sought medical help and 3.2% that they had been hospitalised, while 3.6% said that as a result of vaccination they were no longer able to work a full day or at all. These are percentages of all respondents. If we look only at the 74.0% vaccinated with at least one dose then the figures, as a proportion of vaccinated persons, are 11.7% injured, 6.7% needing medical help, 4.4% hospitalised and 4.8% unable to work. While these figures are self-reported and there is no control group, since the unvaccinated were not asked about adverse events, they are still alarmingly high.
The results also showed that, among those who reported a Covid death in their household, more than twice as many reported that it occurred after the person was vaccinated than before (2.8% vs 1.2%). The proportion who said they had contracted Covid before their vaccination (13.1%) was very similar to the proportion who said they contracted it afterwards (11.7%). These figures are not indicative of a vaccine highly effective against either infection or death.
The people polled were randomly selected, representative samples of the U.S. public, of whom 74.0% were vaccinated, so the samples were not inherently biased towards or against the reporting of vaccine problems, though as in all opinion polls (especially online ones) there may be an issue of self-selection bias.
I reported on the first three of these polls last month. Two more have now been added, each from a different polling company, and the results of all five are strikingly similar (see summary table below), indicating that the findings are a true representation, if not of the American public, at least of the section of the American public inclined to complete polls like this.
Some commentators have expressed scepticism about the results, implying they are skewed in some way. It’s true that they are funded by Steve Kirsch, a technology entrepreneur who is raising awareness of safety and efficacy issues around the Covid vaccines. However, the polls are by ordinary polling companies surveying an ordinary representative sample of the U.S. population, so there is nothing to criticise on that score. The results are not under the control of the funder and the questions are neutral. The fact that they are all similar, regardless of which polling company is used, shows that the results are not anomalous. Anyone can commission a similar survey if they wish – though Steve Kirsch discovered that Google and some other polling companies refused to run surveys asking people about their experience of the vaccines.
Steve has enlisted the help of a survey expert, who he says is nationally known and well-respected, though he hasn’t yet revealed his identity. The expert has done two surveys on vaccine safety, one for Steve and one for another client, and he says the safety signal is “real, significant and gravely concerning”.
Phase 1: Signal Detection. Using convenience samples, we validated that there is a significant signal that the general population is reporting a variety of issues and adverse events related to the Covid vaccine programme. While not representative of the entire population and certainly imperfect in design, the multiple iterations of the same questionnaire across two different independent survey panels validate the strong signal detection. Internal consistency matters even when dealing with subjective issues like surveys, and these data are absolutely consistent.
Phase 2: Validation. This first study using a more high quality sample source, and the planned duplication across at least one other independent platform, validates that the signal is real, significant and gravely concerning. The surprising level of coherence in these data, now across three unrelated sample sources, is indisputable. We’ll do one more study with a fourth source, but I am confident we’ll see the same high level of validation. The signal has been detected and it is clear; something is very, very wrong.
Steve Kirsch’s five polls have all been carried out in the last five weeks. You can find them here: June 30th, July 2nd, July 4th, July 20th, July 28th.
Despite the striking consistency between the surveys, it ought to be noted that the findings don’t fit neatly with what we know from other sources. For example, the surveys show 6-7% seeking medical care following vaccination, whereas government surveys have typically found just under 1%. Similarly, there are around 120 million households in the U.S, so if 4.4% of them had a Covid death (as per the surveys) then that would give 5.3 million Covid deaths – yet official figures show there have been around 1 million Covid deaths in the U.S. Why are the surveys coming up with figures that are five to seven times higher than other sources? This does need to be answered.
A further question is raised by a sixth poll commissioned by Steve Kirsch (on July 11th), this one much shorter, asking only two questions, one about household members having Covid and one about them having a vaccine injury. It found 22 of the 500 respondents (4.4%) reported a vaccine death in the household versus 40 (8%) who reported a Covid death. These proportions are still high, but they are not consistent with the other five polls, the two figures being reversed. Is this survey anomalous or would it be replicated in similar short polls? If so, it may indicate a source of bias in the length of the poll.
Nonetheless, such issues should not distract from the key point, that representative surveys of the American public are consistently finding alarmingly high reported rates of serious vaccine injury and death. This is not a safety signal that should be ignored.
Postscript: It has been pointed out that data from death certificates collected by the CDC say 1,032,462 deaths had been attributed to COVID-19 on death certificates since the pandemic began as of August 6th 2022, the same date this article was published, with COVID-19 listed as the underlying cause of death for at least 90% of those deaths. In contrast, only nine COVID-19 vaccine deaths have been confirmed, all cases of TTS caused by the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
In Will Jones’s defence, he’s referred to the limitations of the surveys in the above article and drawn attention to the fact that they differ significantly from the official data on vaccine injuries. The CDC data on Covid vaccine deaths is implausibly low and the agency does not appear to be properly investigating and reporting on vaccine deaths. We believe it’s unlikely there were only nine Covid vaccine deaths in the U.S. as of August 6th 2022 and none for Pfizer or Moderna. Thousands of Americans have reported deaths to VAERS that they believe to be linked to these vaccines. Should we really dismiss every single one of those reports, many of which have been submitted from medical professionals? We think it’s reasonable and not misleading to report on data, such as opinion poll data, that challenges the official data. Note that the polls are done by ordinary polling companies and the questions and data are all available to inspect.

Well they’ve ignored or dismissed every piece of data which contradicts their narrative thus far but how long can they go without acknowledging the rising excess deaths? How many more “cause unknown” deaths will they sweep under the carpet, all to avoid doing what they ought to and investigate?
Were all of the deaths confirmed by a coroner as covid or vaccine? Many of the deaths in the UK were ‘it looks like covid’, whatever that is, can they tell between pneumonia and covid etc? The tests they take weren’t designed to do this so how do they know unless referred to the coroner
I was wondering the same.
I remember way back The Mail were meant to be investigating this because one of the staff’s mother or father’s death was attributed to Covid despite the fact they’d never seen a GP in person. Patients were getting diagnosed as having Covid just by describing their symptoms on Zoom! People dying, elderly with many comorbidities, and Covid going down on the cert as cause of death. There was a big hoo ha but don’t know what happened. I thought Dr Claire Craig was investigating it all. I can’t even begin to imagine how many deaths have been blamed on Covid when there was no actual evidence to support such a conclusion.
I remember that and have thought ever since how could they possibly know the initial deaths were ‘covid’, no tests and they had mostly been ejected from critical care in hospital
Indeed, I know of one first-hand.
A good friend of mine’s mother was in a care home with Alzheimer’s. The mother was 73 and physically quite fit. Around May/June 2020 the mother began suffering severe abdominal pains; they suspected liver cancer. She went to hospital for an ultrasound, nothing to see. The severe pain continued throughout the summer, increasing pain relief did nothing.
In the end the doctors said they suspected either pancreatic cancer (notoriously difficult to find early) or bone cancer, either of which would have required surgical intervention, radiation, etc., all things my friend did not want to subject her mother to, for a disease which had poor prospects anyways.
It was agreed with the doctors at the home to give her pain relief and let things go. Food and drink was always made available, but if the mother would not eat, she was not force fed. Obviously she deteriorated very quickly and for approx. a week had taken in next to no food or liquid and was on very high doses of morphine, after which, unsurprisingly, she passed away.
At the same time, corona was doing the rounds on the ward she was in (they did still let my friend in to see her every day). The mother never displayed any symptoms of corona at any time, nor was she ever tested and died due to whatever illness she had, drugs and lack of food and drink. She was nevertheless listed as having died from corona.
No, my friend didn’t object to the death certificate, I’m not sure why, she is on the sceptic side. Maybe it was just a bit too much after a very trying and stressful few months prior to her mother’s death.
According to ‘official figures’ around 160.000 people in England died within 28 days of a test..so are classed as coof deaths. A FOI request to the ONS which has been discussed many times, even on GB News, brought that figure down to around 17.500 ‘actual’ deaths from Covid itself.
In the latest update from the Yellow Card, released on June 18th, there were 458.003
reports of adverse reaction, resulting in 1.498.911 separate injuries….(an average of 3+ injuries)
There have also now been 4,166 reported cases of harm to children and 50,255 cases of harm after a booster….deaths and injuries in children, and booster doses, are not being separately disclosed by MHRA.
whichever way you slice it something is definitely wrong….
Pollsters earn their money by finding a way to get the results the client wants. Maybe i’m being harsh and it’s just because the polls that don’t get the ‘right’ result go straight in the bin – but whether a poll is favourable or not i’m always sceptical.
Of course it’s always the case with Polls that you have to take them for what they are, and that they aren’t always 100% correct.
In this instance I can only say that it confirms my personal experience. I don’t know anyone who died with/of/coz Covid….but I know at least six different people who have had some kind of side-effect, from menstruation problems, to having a blood clot removed….my ‘lived’ experience is a much better indicator of what’s going off I think…
The poll is worthless.
There are about 120 million households in America.
If 4.4% of households have lost someone to covid, that makes it almost 5.3 million covid deaths in the US
That is 5 times more than the official figure which is already suspect of over counting.
If jab deaths are supposedly double that, that would make it over 10 million deaths from the jabs.
For perspective, that is more than the number of soldiers from all countries believed to have died in World War 1.
I don’t think so.
It is not worthless. There is clearly a flaw in that respondents to the poll interpret household differently to whoever is formally counting them in the US (eg I’d count my mother as family, but I don’t live with her, so the government doesn’t). So in terms of absolutes it does not inform well.
What it DOES show is that the deaths from the vaccine reported are approximately twice as many as from the virus. Which fits with what we see elsewhere. So it is helpful from a relative perspective.
Actually it doesn’t even show that, Steve Kirsch’s poll says COVID deaths are twice as high as jab deaths. And Steve Kirsch is no covid jab enthusiast.
Maybe people don’t know what a household is, maybe they do. We can only speculate.
These polls don’t give me anything I can use against covid zealots. They’ll do the same calculations I have and wave the information away.
The table says 224 vaccine deaths plays 111 covid deaths. What are you interpreting differently?
Entirely legitimate questions being asked in these comments about the technical value of these polls.
My view is that, rather than a handle on the clinical ramifications, such polls reflect a changing public attitude towards and view of the stabs. For that reason alone, they are valuable.
We are all witnessing vaxx injuries. We know of three/four cancer deaths post vaxx. Cancer out of nowhere, spread throughout the body, dead within six months or less. Three breast cancers post remission, and pancreatic cancer.
