A new survey from YouGov and The Economist released Thursday reveals a startling number of Americans will not get vaccinated due to concerns about side effects, "microchip" implantation and political motivations.

One in five Americans believe that the U.S. government is using the vaccine to plant microchip tracking devices into people, the survey found. A significant number of those who reject vaccines also cite the belief that inoculation in general causes autism.

As COVID-19 cases among the unvaccinated surge nationwide, vaccine conspiracies and rejection of the danger posed by COVID-19 appear the primary obstacles in containing the spread of the virus. Jeff Zients, coordinator of the White House coronavirus team, confirmed in a press briefing that unvaccinated Americans "account for virtually all recent Covid-19 hospitalizations and deaths."

The Economist and YouGov survey was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 1,500 American adults surveyed from July 10-13. The margin of error for the sample was estimated at about three percent.
