Share of U.S. adults certain of COVID-19 misinformation as of 2023, by race/ethnicity
A survey in 2023 found that the proportion of adults in the United States who believed in COVID-19 misinformation doesn't always vary by their race or ethnic background. White adults were less likely than Blacks and Hispanics to believe in the false claims that "More people have died from the COVID-19 vaccines than have died from the COVID-19 virus" and "The COVID-19 vaccines have caused thousands of sudden deaths in otherwise healthy people." However, with the other two false claims, all adults were more or less likely to be wrong.
This statistic shows the share of adults who thought select false claims about COVID-19 were definitely or probably true in the United States as of 2023, by race and ethnicity.
