Recent revelations about the origins of the COVID-19 virus have heightened suspicions many Americans have about both the pandemic and the vaccines used to treat it.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 45% of American Adults consider it likely that the COVID-19 pandemic was part of a secret plan by global elites to reduce worldwide population, including 24% who think it’s Very Likely. This view of the virus as “a population control scheme” has been called COVID-19 misinformation. Forty-five percent (45%) don’t believe this explanation is likely, including 30% who say it is Not At All Likely, while 10% are not sure.
