First, only people who are interested in answering for one reason or another are going to answer, which leads to participation bias or\u00a0nonresponse bias<\/a>, amongst other forms of bias. People with particular experiences are also the most likely to respond to certain surveys. In this case, it may be that people with strong feelings about COVID vaccines are the most likely to respond to the survey.<\/p>\n

The survey question in this case doesn\u2019t ask for verification on cause of death, so they aren\u2019t asking if someone knows anyone whose official cause of death was the vaccine. The question asks if the respondent believes they know someone whose death was caused by a vaccine. As we know from looking at social media, many of those beliefs aren\u2019t based on any medical fact, but rather on\u00a0misinformation<\/a>\u00a0and misunderstanding.<\/p>\n

The concern with this poll isn\u2019t that vaccines are causing deaths, but that there is enough misinformation still perpetuating that those who are responding to these polls believe these vaccines are causing these deaths.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
