Medical Freedom Proposals Most Supported By Disaffected Trump Voters
Voters by more than a 30-point margin overwhelmingly agree pharmaceutical companies (Big Pharma) should not have immunity when their vaccines cause injuries. The survey was conducted by BIG DATA POLL for 1776 Law Center as part of the annual Four Freedoms Poll in partnership with the Public Polling Project.
Six in ten (60.0%) voters agree Big Pharma should not have immunity shielding them from direct accountability over vaccine injuries, including one-third (33.0%) who strongly agree. Of all the proposals tested in the annual Four Freedoms Poll, this is consistently among the most widely-supported and with the highest intensity among voters.
Only 17.5% disagree to include 12.9% who strongly disagree.
“Few single issues enjoy more support across every group of Americans than ending all immunity for Big Pharma,” said Robert Barnes, the civil rights and criminal defense head of 1776 Law Center. “That includes their vaccines when those vaccines cause injury.”
Not a single core demographic—to include sex, age, race and ethnicity, education and income, area and geography—report less than majority support for the proposal. Voters ages 65 and older agree by the narrowest margin, though still significant, while ages 30-44 agree by the widest margin.
“As we have seen with food and financial freedoms, the proposals are supported most vigorously among the voters the administration badly needs to win back over,” BIG DATA POLL Director Rich Baris, said. “That includes voters below 65 years old and minorities that previously voted for the president in 2024.”
The survey also asked voters whether they agreed with the government suing those companies that denied a religious accommodation to vaccine mandates. Fifty-one percent (51.2%) agreed, just 27.1% disagreed and 17.8% were unsure.
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. set his sights on a federal program that pays money to patients injured by immunizations, seeking to expand the types of injuries eligible for compensation. Critics said it could potentially exhaust the fund and bankrupt what the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. But voters clearly no longer want drug companies to be able to hide behind the nonjury vaccine court.
The Four Freedoms Poll has consistently found no less than one in five voters report to know someone who suffered from serious adverse effects, to include death, from the Covid-19 vaccines.
Methodology
The Public Polling Project conducted by BIG DATA POLL interviewed 2,012 registered voters and 1,805 likely voters nationwide from February 16 to February 18, 2026. Interviews conducted online are sourced through Lucid (CINT) and live-agent phone interviews including P2P SMS and text-to-online are sourced from the L2 National Voter File Database. Participants who opted for text-to-online were given 24 hours to complete the interview. Interview details plotted on maps can be reviewed by hovering and clicking on the locator pins. Results were weighted for sex, age, race and ethnicity, education, and geography. The overall sampling error is ±2.1% for the registered voter sample and ±2.3% for the likely voter sample at a 95% confidence level. It is important to note that sampling errors for subgroups are higher. All BIG DATA POLL publicly conducted surveys are crowdfunded via the Public Polling Project, supplemented if necessary by BIG DATA POLL and are NOT funded by or affiliated with any candidate, campaign, committee, or political entity. This survey was conducted with partnership sponsoring from 1776 Law Center. Full and interactive crosstabs can be viewed on MarketSight. The Four Freedoms Poll is an annual partnership with the Public Polling Project to gauge support and/or opposition to issues relating to food, financial, medical and political freedoms. 1776 Law Center helps those who cannot afford counsel and public advocates to obtain capable, competent counsel and public advocates, especially when their case broadly impacts civil liberties.
