About 1% if you take the total number of cases in the US. Of course, this isn't right because lots of people who got it are not included in this count.
About 0.3% if calculated against the entire population of the US.
And then there's this:

Not sure what metrics the "as they say" part might include. Not taking sides. Thinking out loud, not sure if 0.2% over three years qualifies as "deadly".
In other words, the dude might be right in raising the question.
By this time it should come as no secret that US universities are engaged in suppressing speech far more so than encouraging free and open conversations across a range of topics. This is a matter of indisputable fact. Just try to book a conference with contrasting though on a range of modern topics and see how far you get. You are lucking if the faculty doesn't turn students into a violent mob and run you off the campus.
Regardless of the topic, this is the problem. Such things are not formulas for advancing society and thought. When you have to worry about actual physical violence you no-longer have freedom.
