"Abstract: ... This research identifies the factors associated with support for/against COVID-19 injection mandates and passports. An online survey of COVID-19 health experiences in the United States population was conducted to collect information regarding potential reasons why respondents might favor or oppose COVID-19 injection mandates and passports... The survey was completed by 2,840 participants between December 18 and 23, 2021. Twenty-two percent (612 of 2,840) of respondents reported that they knew at least one person who had experienced a health problem following COVID-19 injection. Respondents who knew someone who experienced a health problem following COVID-19 injection were more likely to oppose injection mandates (OR: 2.040, 95% CI: 1.635-2.254, and passports (OR: 1.691, 95% CI: 1.361-2.101)). Perceptions of COVID-19 injection safety based on personal experiences appear to be an important determinant of opposition to injection mandates and passports...

23% of survey participants reported that they knew at least one person who experienced a COVID-19 injection adverse event, including 57 people who are reported to have died following the injection. The health issues reported ranged from serious problems such as cardiac arrests and other heart-related problems, blood clots and other circulatory problems, to neurological issues, as well as milder effects such as feeling sick, headache, fever, etc."
