No, the vast majority of Americans think covid-19 is real. Vox had a poll saying it was in the area of 1%. The issue is many don't want to be forced to wear masks, which is dumb and selfish, but not what you are saying.

Meanwhile as of 2019, over 20% of Americans doubt climate change, a much more significant number. This is far too high in my opinion, but it is steadily improving.

About 34% of all Republicans say that the theory that the outbreak was intentionally planned is definitely or probably true.

> About a third of those who have heard this claim (36%) – a quarter of all U.S. adults – say that they think it is “definitely” (8%) or “probably” (28%) true.

72% say they would get vaccinated, you aren't reading your articles correctly.

You're correct that I overstated my case. I wasn't making a meaningful distinction between people who say the virus is fake, or not dangerous, or not wearing a mask, or not social distancing in a reasonable way.

How were they sampling? I could totally believe 1% of Vox readers don’t believe it while 30% of the US also doesn’t.
