Nearly half of Americans think COVID-19 vaccines may be to blame for many unexplained deaths, and more than a quarter say someone they know could be among the victims – including 22% of the vaccinated and 33% of Democrat voters. Pollster Rasmussen Reports has more.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that (49%) of American Adults believe it is likely that side effects of COVID-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths, including 28% who think it’s Very Likely. Thirty-seven percent (37%) don’t say a significant number of deaths have been caused by vaccine side effects, including 17% who believe it’s Not At All Likely. Another 14% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Twenty-eight percent (28%) 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.
The documentary Died Suddenly has been criticised as promoting “debunked” anti-vaccine conspiracy theories but has been seen by some 15 million people.
Forty-eight percent (48%) of Americans believe there are legitimate reasons to be concerned about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines, while 37% think people who worry about vaccine safety are spreading conspiracy theories. Another 15% are not sure.
The survey of 1,000 American Adults was conducted on December 28th-30th, 2022 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.
Seventy-one percent (71%) say they have received a COVID-19 vaccination, while 26% have not. Concerns about vaccine safety are much higher among the unvaccinated.
Seventy-seven percent (77%) of adults who have not gotten COVID-19 vaccinations believe it’s at least somewhat likely that side effects of COVID-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths. Among those who have gotten the vaccine, just 38% consider unexplained deaths from the vaccine at least somewhat likely.
Similarly, while 45% of those who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 think someone they know personally might have died from vaccine side effects, only 22% of vaccinated adults think so.
Forty-six percent (46%) of adults who have gotten vaccinated against COVID-19 believe people who worry about vaccine safety are spreading conspiracy theories, but just 15% of the unvaccinated share that belief. Sixty-nine percent (69%) of those who haven’t gotten the COVID-19 vaccine think there are legitimate reasons to be concerned about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines, as do 40% of those who have gotten vaccinated against the virus.
More Democrats (85%) than Republicans (63%) or those not affiliated with either major party (64%) have been vaccinated against COVID-19. More Republicans (60%) than Democrats (44%) or the unaffiliated (43%) think there are legitimate reasons to be concerned about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines. However, there is less political difference in the number who suspect someone they know might have died from vaccine side effects – 33% of Democrats and 26% of both Republicans and the unaffiliated.
These are huge numbers and show this is set to be a major political issue.

Meanwhile the UK government has established a strategic “partnership” with Moderna to set up infrastructure for the manufacture of 250 million mRNA vaccines a year.
They plan to migrate all vaccines to the mRNA technology.
Will they succeed in bludgeoning us into submission to the mRNA technology or will public scepticism prevail?
In that case no more jabs of any sort for me.
Yep, I’m done. No more jabs for me. I no longer trust the medical profession. I had a flu jab in 2014 that left me with chronic fatigue for three years. Never again!
If these results are correct then four things strike me:
1. mrna jabs now have such a poor public image it is difficult to see how the technology’s reputation with the public can recover.
2. Uptake of wider conventional vaccines is going to nose dive.
3. I wonder what the results might be if this survey is repeated in a year’s time? My guess is they are going only one way.
4. There’s a massive schism between Republican and Democrat voters – one which it is difficult to imagine how it can be reconciled. America is a country politically torn in two. I don’t know which is (un)healthier: that, or the amorphous complacency and defeatism which characterises politics in the UK. My reckoning is the UK is in the worse position.
It’s a shame that someone as clued up on other subjects as Ron Unz doesn’t think that vaccines are causing the extra deaths.
Many millions of Americans now “know” someone possibly harmed by the jabs: During last night’s widely anticipated football game, a 24-yo healthy athlete suddenly collapsed, taken to hospital, and diagnosed now with a massive heart attack. He’s alive but not expected to recover fully, per one report. Seeing grown men sobbing on the sidelines indicates how horrible the collapse was. Only one commentator described the frantic pounding on the player’s chest, but the overall air during the broadcast was grim. A football player died of a heart attack on-field 50 years ago. Will the NFL persuade fans that this to a once in a 2-generation tragedy or will people start asking questions?
People are asking questions alright, at least in America. Have a look at the newest comments attached to this explanation as to why it is not related to the injections.

McCullough is saying the player could have had subclinical myocarditis and the tackle was the catalyst for the arrest. Poor guy’s in critical condition though so I really hope he recovers as he has his whole life ahead of him. Steve Kirsch has more;

For a while last year, children were unable to watch the games unless they were injected. Very upsetting.

This BBC News article published today states that “according to a 2016 study, there are approximately 100 to 150 sudden cardiac deaths each year during competitive sports in the United States alone” – but avoids stating whether or not there have been significantly more in the last two years.

Despite it being a different country it seems as appropriate a place as any to put this here. For those who didn’t know it is ‘Covid Vaccine Victim Awareness Month’ in the UK. It seems there’s quite a few gatherings organized across the country.

Are concerns really higher among the unvaxxed? I suspect the reality is that the unvaxxed are more willing to admit their concerns, I believe far more vaxxed are concerned than will admit it, even to themselves. Look at the comments in the DM on the story about the US football player – the anger in some against the “conspiracy theorists” is almost palpable and it ain’t because they’re sick of anti-vaxxer loons, it is fear that there is some truth in what they’ve been saying.
52% still think or are unsure whether there is reason to be concerned? The way I see it, we have clearly, beyond any doubt, been lied to – no, no blood clots here, no, no myocarditis here, no, no VITT here, no, no menstruation problems, etc. – to only see each one eventually admitted and several vaxxes quietly withdrawn (AZ, J&J, murderna for people under 30 in the Scandinavian countries, France and Germany). We were told 2 shots to freedom – as soon as it became 3 shots everyone on earth was literally told they either did not have a clue what they were doing and were making it up on the fly, or they had been lying. If they simply were making things up on the fly, then they were lying about the poison being tried and tested for efficacy and safety.
How can anyone not have any concerns at all with that track record? If the matter is properly, thoroughly investigated by independent experts and it turns out in 2, 3 years that it really is not the disaster we fear it is, then I can hold my head up and say great, so glad to hear that people I care about, that lots of innocent people around the world who acted in good faith, need not be concerned about their health. What will the people who believe the vaxx is “safe and effective” say if we do not thoroughly investigate and it turns out 2, 3 years down the line that thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of people were seriously harmed and killed? And that we allowed this to continue long, long after safety issues were known?
“…the anger in some against the “conspiracy theorists” is almost palpable and it ain’t because they’re sick of anti-vaxxer loons, it is fear that there is some truth in what they’ve been saying”
There is definitely truth in that. Those people have not thought the matter through or done any research to arrive at their views, they simply bought into the lie, maybe unwittingly and in good faith in some cases, and are scared when confronted with the suggestion they have been conned big time. None of this is helped by the media’s perpetuation of those lies
“What will the people who believe the vaxx is “safe and effective” say if we do not thoroughly investigate and it turns out 2, 3 years down the line that thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of people were seriously harmed and killed?” They will shake their heads and admit that ‘mistakes were made’ and move on. The same willful blindness that is affecting them now will blind them to the human suffering caused. Just as we have moved on from the hundreds of thousands of people killed by the opioids epidemic in the USA or the numerous fraud cases that have found against pharma. People are just not capable of caring about such things apparently.
Don’t think the jab deaths/injuries will ever be properly investigated. Too much money and lawsuits involved. For instance, the football player’s cardiac arrest will officially not be associated with the jab, even though he reportedly had a booster a week ago. We won’t know the truth and can’t trust official statements. Would players sue or retire, thus ending the billion-dollar enterprise? All this will further erode trust, though so much trust has eroded already the metal is showing.
In my wider circle of friends of family and friends of friends, I know two people who died following the jab. One 38-year-old dropped dead of a heart attack and a 50-something died in agony, her entire body full of blood clots. He neighbours called the ambulance because they heard the screams. I also know of a 19-year-old trainee nurse who was so badly injured by the first jab that she can never have another one. Consequently, she’s not allowed to be a nurse now either.
I don’t know anyone who actually had COVID-19 when they died. My brother, who believes all the crap, and his wife both got a flu-like virus. His wife tested positive on a lateral flow test, he didn’t. He tested himself multiple times and each was negative. His second PCR test came in positive, so he then started saying he had the virus! Imbecile!
