A new Rasmussen survey found that 53% of Americans believe the COVID-19 vaccines are linked to mysterious deaths across the United States.

Thirty percent of respondents said it is “very likely” that mRNA vaccines are to blame for deaths.

The finding is 4% higher than last year’s survey.

Almost a quarter (24%) of Americans also reported knowing someone who died from the vaccine.

More than half (54%) of respondents also believe there are reasons to be concerned about the safety of the vaccine.

Among those, 69% were Republican, 37% were Democrat, and 54% were unaffiliated with the leading political parties.
