Narrative fail.
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.
The results of the investigation completely debunk the notion, amplified by media narratives, that only “dumb” people are vaccine hesitant.
It also demolishes NYT White House correspondent Annie Karni’s characterization of elitists who attended Obama’s 60th birthday party by as “sophisticated, vaccinated.”
How many of them haven’t taken the vaccine?
Meanwhile, the meme has been proven correct:

"Lack of trust in government" and really? If I were to go downtown and take a poll of 1,000 people walking about and asked one single question "do you trust your government to tell you the truth" how many would say yes of course government would never lie to me... I on the other hand 100% fully expect my government to lie to me. With a straight face all the while telling me to trust them.
Meh, I have doubts about any poll. It is skewed merely by people not trusting the media or pollsters. As to ph.d. holders? They are lower midwits, averaging only 115 IQ. I wouldn't care what they have to say, any more than a typical average uniformed or worse misinformed individual. They, really, are just barely above average white collar, groupthinking, union workers. And just barely whitecollar, because of being overpaid, not because they actually do any good, or are honest, ethical, or such.
i trust my gød given instincts that's bout it
