In other words, the best educated are more likely to reject the “vax” than other groups.
A study published by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh surveyed 5,121,436 US adults and found that while vaccine hesitancy decreased overall by one-third between January and May 2021, there was no decrease in hesitancy among those with a professional degree and PhDs had the highest vaccine hesitancy.
"Those with professional degrees (e.g., JD, MBA) and PhDs were the only education groups without a decrease in hesitancy, and by May, those with PhDs had the highest hesitancy.
To our knowledge, no other study has evaluated education with this level of granularity, which was possible due to our unusually large sample size (>10,000 participants with PhDs).
Further investigation into hesitancy among those with a PhD is warranted."
