    Interesting stat on who's not getting the vaccine

    Last week Carnegie-Mellon University published a nationwide study on people who have not been vaccinated. They broke it down by various demographics such as race, income, political affiliation and level of education obtained. When it came to education the second biggest cohort (percentage-wise) of unvaccinated were people with a high school diploma or less. The cohort with the highest percentage of non-vaccination was people with PHDs. I have no idea what that means but I thought it was interesting.

      Simple
      The HS diploma folks still have common sense and have learned to be cynical via the school of hard knocks and the phds know the science doesn’t add up

      Everyone in between just comply, that’s why many went on to college anyway. “Everyone must go to college”. Why? “Because I said so”

        Very interesting. Not sure what that translates too either. My gut says that those that went to college and achieved degrees, are largely conforming to societal norms

            Hmm.
            Here's my thought.

            The High School Graduate ain't smart enough to "trust" the Government & the PhD is too smart to "trust" the government...

              I've got a HS diploma and a PHD. I think the Post Hole Digger is a True Value.

              Does it matter which brand of PHD it is?

                    I find this interesting:

                    Those from counties with higher Trump support in the 2020 presidential election
                    showed higher hesitancy, and the difference in hesitancy between areas with high
                    and low Trump support grew over the period studied. “This finding really highlights
                    the politicization of public health recommendations,” said King.

                    “What's concerning is there is a subset of the population that's got strong levels of
                    hesitancy, as in refusal to take the vaccine, not potential concern about it, and the
                    size of that group isn’t changing,” said Mejia.

                    Among the most recalcitrant, commonly cited reasons included not trusting the
                    vaccine and not trusting the government, while less hesitant groups were more
                    inclined to explain they were waiting to see if the vaccine is safe. The researchers
                    believe that different approaches are necessary to address these concerns.

                    “In all the other levels of vaccine intent we saw change over time. The lack of
                    change in prevalence of the ‘definitely not’ group implies those with strong feelings
                    about the vaccine are not likely to change easily,” said King. “Thinking about how to
                    reach that group and having messaging and incentives that that group will respond
                    to is important.”

                        I dont see the correlation to Trump supporters as being relevant. This is Trump's vaccine. He rolled it out in record time. The article is basically saying that Trump supporters do not support Trump's vaccine so where is the relevance?

                          That was pretty much what I got from the post as well.

                            I've got both and I'm sure as hell not getting an untested vaccine where there is no liability.

                              Seems like common sense right?
