Wish there were a way to calculate the number of covid deaths due to people who refused a vaccine because of the anti-vaxxers spreading disinformation on social media platforms.

Not specific to disinformation on social media platforms, but I have seen some analyses that estimate -if I'm remembering correctly- that about 3/4 of the people who died (in the US) didn't need to die. They died due to a conglomeration of factors, mostly stemming from misinformation about masks, ivermectin (and other rubbish therapies), and the vaccine. True, some people did all the right things and still died. But it is a tiny fraction of the total casualties from this epidemic. I wish Loren Cobb was here to give us a proper statistical analysis.

However, I did read recently that the number of people who died after the vaccine was readily available, who then refused the vaccine, is over 300K. Some percentage likely would have died anyway, but we're still talking the population of a mid-sized city.
