A year ago, American polling company Rasmussen Reports found that 28% of Americans believed they knew someone who died due to Covid vaccines, with almost half of survey respondents attributing “a significant number of unexplained deaths” to the vaccines.
Now, a new Rasmussen Reports survey reveals that a year on, public opinion has not changed much on the subject of Covid vaccine harms.
Just over half (53%, up 4% on last year) of Americans believe that Covid vaccines may be to blame for many unexplained deaths, according to the new report, released on January 12th 2024. Additionally, one in four (24%, down 4% on last year) Americans believes they know someone who died from the jab.
Additionally, 54% of Americans believe there are legitimate reasons to be concerned about the safety of Covid vaccines, while 33% think people who worry about vaccine safety are spreading conspiracy theories.
The survey of 1,133 American adults, conducted between January 7th and 9th 2024, shows that despite dogged commitment to ‘safe and effective’ messaging from regulators and public health bodies, despite media propaganda and gaslighting over safety concerns, and despite ongoing censorship of Covid vaccine injuries, about half of the American public just ain’t buying it.
At the same time, half of the public is buying the official line, despite revelations of high levels of DNA contamination and unintended frame-shifting errors in the mRNAs, despite evidence of regulatory failure, despite unprecedented high rates of adverse event reporting, and so on.
That the Rasmussen Reports survey of attitudes towards Covid vaccine safety has yielded similar results year-on-year is suggestive that people’s beliefs relating to the Covid vaccines are entrenched and not necessarily adaptable to new information.
This is supported by the fact that while there was no significant difference between racial groups or genders when it comes to the question of what’s driving unexplained deaths (in every group, at least half or more blamed the Covid vaccines), there was a marked differential along political lines.
Twice as many Republicans (44%) answered that it was very likely that Covid vaccines were to blame for unexplained deaths as compared to Democrats (22%). Conversely, 22% of Democrats think it’s not at all likely that Covid vaccines are causing unexplained deaths, whereas only 7% of Republicans share this view.
While 69% of Republicans think that there are legitimate safety concerns about the Covid vaccines, only 37% of Democrats agree with this position. Only 21% of Republicans believe that people who worry about vaccine safety are spreading conspiracy theories (10% are unsure), yet this is the position of 55% of Democrats (8% are unsure).
The political divide on this issue is hardly surprising, as Covid vaccines and policy have been heavily politicised since the outset of the pandemic. Nothing demonstrates the political nature of attitudes towards Covid vaccination better than the below video (2 mins 15 sec) by friend of DDU, MilkBarTV. Democrats were the OG anti-vaxxers, until Trump was out, vaccines were in, and the tables turned.
A final observation is that the characterisation of those concerned about Covid vaccine safety as a fringe minority of ‘conspiracy theorists’ is shown, in this survey, to be false – they are the majority (53%). In fact, it is those using the ‘conspiracy theorist’ pejorative who are the minority (33%). They just happen to be a loud minority with outsize influence in the top journals and media outlets.

This is what gives me hope that we won’t have another psycho-pandemic any time soon.
Even though the bureaucratic elite have closed ranks to defend their horrific actions during covid, the public knows and won’t stand for it again.
US politics and the views of the public seem more polarised. There is less consensus within even “mainstream” politics and media on matters such as “covid”, “net zero”, social issues.
There’s some real hope. You can never fool all of the people all of the time..
Despite the incessant fearporn propaganda fuelled by the RPTB over the last 4 years these figures, even if half right, show that an ever increasing number are seeing the toxicity of the jabs.
Never forget the mantra “The only way to salvation is through universal vaccination” and the classic ” No one is safe until everyone is safe”.
With any luck the pitchforks may yet come out for those responsible.
They have blood on their hands.
Lots of it.
I don’t share your optimism. I’m hearing about more and more ‘sudden and unexpecteds’, more unusual & recently developed chronic illnesses and even the occasional ‘odd’ turbo cancer, yet not one person mentioning these incidences – not one – has linked it to the jab. I’m also seeing more mask wearing in public, people standing away from others in shops, plus people still testing and isolating, etc. I think if the TPTB hit us with another plandemic, they’ll just massage the psy-op propaganda to address any newly developed scepticism amongst the masses.
Totally agree. Just a matter of when – the timing.
Disease X, WHO scamdemic treaty May 2024, Kill Gates’ threats on the ‘next pandemic will get your attention’.
Rona part 1 was the pilot project.
The fascists learnt to quell dissent, control media and parliaments with outrageous and clear as day bribes and payments, shut down debate and change laws to make it illegal to protest.
A lot depends on the US election and Drumpf. Rona in 2020 was the perfect cover for the 40 million vote fraud. The CIA et al may need to do it again for the uniparty to keep Drumpf out of the White House.
“At the same time, half of the public is buying the official line”
The reason is simple, Shame, guilt and knowing you’ve been taken for a fool and hate to admit it ,so double down on the refusal to believe (a bit like a child with chocolate round his mouth claiming innocent about eating all the cake!)
There is also a cohort of stupid people. There is no cure for stupid and the educational establishments are currently making them more stupid with their perverse ideological nonsense.
I think it is a lack of critical thinking, combined with naivety and (hugely misplaced) trust in authority.
Please don’t forget the depth and intensity of the psy-op that’s been played out. The number of people I considered sensible, grounded and in full capacity of critical thinking skills who succumbed to the propaganda was truly astonishing – and utterly disheartening.
Too kind. No, most people are stupid and one goose step away from being a screaming fascist. That is what I saw and heard during the scamdemic. Imbeciles and morons believing anything, playing Gestapo and supporting the Medical Nazism.
Right, well if ”MPs demand a thorough investigation” I shall expect max attendance at our Andrew Bridgen’s debate this week. That’ll be the proof of whether they’re taking this seriously or not, and thus far it’s been absolutely dire. And that’ll be because they’re all guilty of democide! But Boris Johnson gets a job on bloody GBN anyways!!
OK, I’d better stop there before I go off on one.
”Heart failure is the biggest driver of an alarming surge in excess deaths, a study reveals, as MPs demand a “thorough investigation” into the trend. Last year was the most deadly non-pandemic year for excess deaths – those above the five year average – since the Second World War.
Research published tomorrow (Sunday) by scientists at Oxford University shows that while cancer and dementia deaths have fallen, deaths from heart and circulatory problems are spiralling.
This includes deaths from heart disease, heart attacks, strokes and lung clots.
The scientists say the rise cannot be accounted for by an ageing or growing population.
The new study, based on government figures, shows there were 595,789 deaths last year of which 53,000 were considered ‘excess’ or ‘extra’. This is based on a five year average of deaths before Covid.
By comparison there were 82,000 and 60,000 extra deaths during the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021 respectively.
This equates to 1,000 additional deaths each week during 2023, surpassing the total of 50,200 excess deaths in 2022.”

Ditto!
Other likely effects of the jabby jabs are bloodclots, long white bloodclots that can reach through most of the main artery system that have been noticed by up to 75% of morticians and embarmers in the USA, but, no response as per usual
Indeed
Is there a similar survey for the UK? From my own evidence such a survey in the UK would have show similar if not more damning evidence.
Sunak is far too busy overseeing an investigation into qwacine harms, visiting his new best bud and handing over our dosh for a pointless counter offensive is top of his to do list. This link to a petition regarding the W.H.O. deserves everyone’s attention.

The pushback against the jabs has to come from those who were forced to take them in order to keep their jobs.
What are the NHS medics now thinking as too late to get the stuff out of your system or did they all get the lucky batches?
Why have the Junior Doctors Union not picked up on these reports?
Good news. They’re waking up. Might be considered off topic, but the underlying bureaucratic problems could be very similar to what has come to light in the Post Office “Horizon” system. Spot how the internal behaviour develops when under scrutiny.
I wonder how many of those who responded that the jabs are perfectly safe, etc., had ever even been exposed to the concept that the jabs are not perfectly safe? Are they just fooling themselves, just doubling down on their opinions, or keeping their tribal identification intact, i.e., leftists believe x, y, and z, so I believe that too?
