Mark Mitchell, head pollster for Rasmussen Reports, said the polling company conducted it’s ‘biggest poll ever‘ in 20 years of business.
The poll focused on COVID-19 jab-related deaths.
Mitchell started a video presentation with this shocking statistic the poll found:
“73 million Americans. That’s how many people say they personally know someone whose death they think may have been caused by the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine.”
The poll’s question read: “Do you personally know anyone whose death you think may have been caused by side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines?”
- 28% said yes.
- 61% said no.
- 10% said not sure.
When extrapolated, that equates to roughly 73 million people.
In other words, over 1/4 of Americans think the COVID-19 shot may have caused the death of someone they know.
Mitchell also noted these findings from the poll:
- 33% of Democrats said they knew someone whose death may have been caused by COVID-19 jab side effects compared to 26% of Republicans.
- 35% of individuals aged 18-39 said they knew someone whose death may have been caused by the COVID-19 shot compared to 28% of individuals aged 40-64 and 14% of individuals aged 65+.
- 22% of vaccinated adults said they knew someone whose death they thought may have been caused by the COVID-19 shot, whereas 45% of unvaccinated adults answered the same.
Another question Rasmussen asked in the polling:
“How likely is it that side effects of COVID-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths?”
- 28% said very likely
- 21% said somewhat likely
- 20% said not very likely
- 17% said not at all likely
56% of Republicans answered it was at least somewhat likely that COVID-19 shots caused a significant number of unexplained deaths, whereas 51% of Democrats answered the same.
Another question Rasmussen asked included:
Which is closer to your belief, that there are legitimate reasons to be concerned about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines, or that people who worry about vaccine safety are spreading conspiracy theories?
- 48% said reasons to be concerned
- 37% said conspiracy theories
- 15% said not sure
When the same question was analyzed by party, 60% of Republicans answered reasons to be concerned and 28% said conspiracy theories. 44% of Democrats answered reasons to be concerned and 46% said conspiracy theories.
Mitchell noted that there was a heavy shift in Democrats being concerned about the COVID-19 shot compared to last year.
Watch the entire breakdown below:
Rasmussen Reports summarized its findings:
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.
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.

Rasmussen also noted these statistics:
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.
Forty-six percent (46%) of whites, 48% of blacks and 57% of other minorities believe it is at least somewhat likely that side effects of COVID-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths.
Younger Americans are less likely to be vaccinated against COVID-19, and 35% of adults under 40 believe someone they know personally might have died from vaccine side effects, compared to 28% of those 40-64 and just 14% of Americans 65 and older.
Slightly more men (52%) than women (47%) think it is at least somewhat likely that a significant number of unexplained deaths may have been caused by side effects of COVID-19 vaccines.
Married adults are more likely to be vaccinated against COVID-19 than their unmarried peers, but more married (33%) than unmarried (23%) Americans think someone they know personally might have died from vaccine side effects.
Voters with annual incomes below $30,000 are most likely to think there are legitimate reasons to be concerned about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines, while those with incomes above $200,000 are most likely to believe people who worry about vaccine safety are spreading conspiracy theories.
