A third of adults believe Covid-19 vaccines caused deaths, poll says

I'm amazed how often an american survey has 1/3rd choosing the absurd answer. It's a surprisingly stable result.

A third of Americans don't believe in evolution:

Two-Thirds of Americans Think Government Should Do More on Climate

while 35% view Trump favorably https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/07/21/little-ch...

And coincidentally 35% think Trump is somewhat or very religious https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/03/25/most-amer...

Of course there's many items where a majority of American's have been confused into believing stuff that's not true, but there seems to be a solid floor of disagreement with reality that lies under that at around 1 in 3.

I guess a key question is if it is the same third every time.

Title is misleading; not just deaths, but “thousands of sudden deaths in otherwise healthy people”.

US adults. But I suppose morons are everywhere.
