Four years after the COVID-19 pandemic gripped the world, many Americans believe they know someone who died from the vaccine that promised to stop the virus.
I think this is a very clear demonstration of what it is that is strongly correlated with "people who answer the phone to unknown numbers and then stay on and talk to them at length"
Remember this when you read a poll that is concluding some more realistic-sounding thing
I didn't misread it (though I could totally see myself doing so had the planets been aligned just a little more.) But I do wonder how that number compares to the number of people who claim to know someone who died of COVID.
