How Many People Died from the Covid-19 Inoculations?

How Many People Died from the Covid-19 Inoculation? An Estimate Based on a Survey of the United States Population (Working Paper)

Mark Skidmore

Executive Summary

This paper examines potential fatalities and injuries from the Covid-19 inoculation using an online “Covid-19 Health Experiences Survey” administered to a representative sample of the US population. The sample is composed of 3,000 respondents balanced on age, gender, and income to the extent possible. The survey was administered in December 2021, collecting information regarding respondents’ experiences with the Covid-19 illness and the Covid-19 inoculations as well as Covid-19 health experiences within respondents’ social circles. The survey also collected respondent economic and demographic information. Using these data, I find the following:

Covid-19 inoculation-related fatalities:

  • Assuming that all the respondents who know somebody who they believe died from the inoculation actually died from the inoculation, estimated fatalities are about 308,000.
  • Subtracting out those who may have died regardless of inoculation yields an estimated 294,000 inoculation-induced fatalities. This is an initial first pass estimate—more evaluation is needed.

Factors associated with being inoculated:                        

  • The likelihood of being inoculated is significantly less for those who identify themselves as African American, Hispanic, and Asian, and Republican or Independent.  Democrats, Caucasians, and more the highly educated are more likely to be inoculated.
  • Those who indicated that they obtain information about Covid-19 from alternative news sources were less likely to be inoculated.  Those who obtain information from mainstream news and official government source are more likely to be inoculated.
  • Knowing someone who experienced a significant health problem from the Covid-19 illness increased the likelihood of being inoculated.
  • Knowing someone who had been injured by the Covid-19 inoculation substantially reduced the likelihood of being inoculated.

The official position of the US government is that the Covid-19 inoculations have resulted in nine fatalities (CDC, 2022).  The experiences shared by hundreds of respondents in this survey suggests that many people died or were injured following inoculation.  Which data are more believable—nine fatalities or as many as 300,000 fatalities?  Surveys have limitations in assessing the impacts of health interventions.  However, this type of evaluation offers an important point of triangulation. The experiences of people captured in surveys generally should be consistent with official government data.  In the case of Covid-19 inoculations, there is a tremendous divergence which should be cause for further inquiry.  My hope is that this research will motivate a full and transparent examination by independent health and medical scholars to ascertain the degree of harm being caused by the Covid-19 inoculations.

  1. This is an excellent report that aligns well with other research indicating that the injections are resulting in massive deaths and severe, often permanent and always financially-devastating medical injuries. Is it even remotely conceivable that Fauci, Walensky, the CDC, the FDA, the WHO, the DoD, the major medical research universities including Harvard, MIT, UNC, Emory, UCLA, Stanford and the like, U.S. politicians at the federal, state and municipal levels, Trudeau, Macron, Johnson, Ardern, Morrison, DR.(!) Van der Bellen (Austrian leader and national death shot enforcer), Scholtz (German understudy to Van der Bellen), Schwab, the entirety of the WEF Board, the entirety of the WEF “Young Leader” Goose Stepper squadron, the C-Suite executives of the entire WEF corporate donor base, the IMF, the World Bank, the Fed, the ECB, the European Parliament, etc., and most important Xi and the CCP are not 100% aware of the human carnage now methodically and systematically being inflicted upon humanity, specifically western humanity??? (Please note that no MRNA injections are being force-jabbed in China.) If we, ordinary citizens having far less access to the detailed and privileged information made available to the elites, were able to figure out MONTHS ago the true nature of this malevolent and evil agenda, is there any possibility whatsoever that the aforementioned parties plus their many affiliates do not know exactly what is happening here? The answer is “No.” There is no way on this earth that the aforementioned do not know exactly what is happening. And yet no one in authority demands that this killing spree be stopped. No one in authority publicly states that the kill shots must stop. Why not? That is the question that every human being on this planet needs to stop everything and think about, if they seriously want to survive this onslaught and genocide. People need to get off of the “what” merry go round … in other words, the daily news cycle that anesthetizes them 24 hours per day with random “whats” … who said what, what happened here, what happened there, what meeting is going to happen today, what war is going to start tomorrow, and on and on and on in an endless drip of the debilitating, enervating drug called “What” … and focus their minds on “Why.” When they understand the Why, they will realize they have no choice but to get directly involved. No one is coming to save us but ourselves. That should be very clear to everyone by now. This report by Dr. Skidmore is further proof of this fact.

  2. I’m new to your website and was referred by Solari.com. Thanks for everything and may God bless you and your family. We love you!

  3. The rise in life insurance company payouts for deceased post-injection is a legitimate reflection of deaths from the jab. If VAERS reports, as Harvard Pilgrim found, only 1% of actual injury/death, the US is well over 2 million deaths from the injections, even as CDC “scrubs” the data. Those two markers, as well as this survey, are evidence that the government is lying and individuals are guilty of criminal acts. See David Martin, Drs Cowan, Kaufman and others privy to the deception and fraud.

  4. Wow, I knew it was bad, but this report and video really hits the ball out of the park! There needs to be charges against many people for crimes against humanity. No truly God fearing person is capable of doing to society what these mass murders have done and are continuing to do. God have mercy on us ALL!

  5. Fantastic paper and I’m not going to be critical of the sample size. You are definitely in academia, as that is a mini-book and not a paper. Well done and consider publishing a book as they generally get more attention. Best wishes and God Bless!

  6. The vax world in medicine has never tracked adverse reactions with any substantive efforts and that includes the government to. At present in the United States the only reporting done is called VARES by the C.D.C.. It is a voluntary program and only picks up somewhere between 1% and 5% of the deaths and serious AR’s. That fact indicates to me that they do not want us to know the number of deaths and serious injuries that are occurring. if the agencies, doctors, hospitals, clinics and politicians were serious about protecting us they would have a permanent
    and all encompassing mandatory program for following up on the single largest cause of death in America, Big Pharma’s drugs and in this case inoculations for covid 19 inoculations. What do you think about my statement?
