Study Finds Most Highly Educated Americans Are Also the Most Vaccine Hesitant
August 11th, 2021Via: Summit News:
A new report by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh has found that the most highly educated Americans are also the most vaccine hesitant.
The researchers canvassed no fewer than 5 million Americans who responded to surveys on whether they were “probably” or “definitely not planning on getting a COVID vaccine.
The results will shock many.
“More surprising is the breakdown in vaccine hesitancy by level of education,” reports UnHerd. “It finds that the association between hesitancy and education level follows a U-shaped curve with the highest hesitancy among those least and most educated. People a master’s degree had the least hesitancy, and the highest hesitancy was among those holding a PhD.”
In addition, while the lowest educated saw the largest drop in vaccine hesitancy for the first five months of 2021, those with PhD’s were the most likely to not change their minds.
To be honest, I’m shocked. I would have thought most of the more “highly educated” would also be the most “highly indoctrinate” — I know that’s the case (for the most part) among my friends and family: all bachelor’s degrees or above, and almost all totally on board w/the jab. (Yes, I’m the black sheep for this and so many other reasons.)
