But more surprising is the breakdown in vaccine hesitancy by level of education. 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 with a master’s degree had the least hesitancy, and the highest hesitancy was among those holding a Ph.D.

What’s more, the paper found that in the first five months of 2021, the largest decrease in hesitancy was among the least educated — those with a high school education or less. Meanwhile, hesitancy held constant in the most educated group; by May, those with Ph.Ds were the most hesitant group.

Health PHDs should be the only PHDs who count

What I gather from that graph is that the smarter someone thinks they are, the more compliant they are likely to be.

The actual intelligent people are more hesitant.

And this is coming from someone whose highest degree is a masters

It be hilarious if those PHD numbers are largely being bolstered by CDC and pharma scientists.

Not to derail the thread, but she doesn’t have a PhD, she has a Ed.D (Educationis Doctor).

Because there are intelligent enough to make informed decisions.
1. I can get one of the vaccines and definitely get well documented side effects and still not have reasonable protection against variants. Or....
2. I can take alternative proven deterrents like ivermectin and take my chances with the prevalent Covid strain, in which case I will likely survive the infection and have natural/better antibody protection against said strain.

can confirm

btw they're already changing the narrative for the booster shot. ONLY CERTAIN PEOPLE WITH COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEMS WILL NEED AN ADDITIONAL VACCINE DOSE

they used to say "everyone"

IDGAF if she got her degree from Mister Ed, she's a frigging dolt.
