People with a PhD are the most hesitant when it comes to getting the Covid-19 vaccine, according to a paper by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. Researchers surveyed just over five million US adults in an online survey, with 10,000 reporting that they were educated to PhD level. The report showed a surprising U-shaped correlation between willingness to get a Covid vaccine and education level—with the highest hesitancy among those least and most educated. Of those surveyed, 20.8 per cent with a high school education were reluctant to get the shot, and 23.9 per cent with a PhD were against it.

Perhaps these people are watching information like that produced by people like Dr. Ryan Cole on You Tube, Stop the Mandate. Very informative and convincing.

I think anyone with half a brain and full faith in God have no interest in getting the jab.

Surprised someone actually reported this, as it really does kill the Rats' narrative that it is uneducated Trump voters who are refusing to get vaccinated.

My family's PhD, in the top 1% of the scientist in his field, has not had the vaccine and neither have his parents. He is hard core conservative.

It's a dubious conclusion that folks who have a PhD are the "most educated."
I know many people whose FORMAL education ended with a high school diploma (including my wife) who are far more educated than many folks who have a PhD.
Too many PhD dissertations are next to worthless regarding adding worthwhile knowledge to society, and too many are full of plagiarism.

Didn't they just tell us it was Blacks with lowest vax rates?

Exactly #5. PhD stands for Piled Higher and Deeper. Many people that get PhDs are those that are good at nothing so they stay in school until the end, look at Dr. Biden.

PhDs may have a fancy degree, but I know a whole lot of them who couldn't find their way out of a wet paper sack.

I think that the Masters numbers are skewed by the MBAs.
My techie Bachelor & Masters and a decade of creating and managing tech projects, including several in bioscience in the former soviet states, including one veterinary vaccine development project, gave me enough insight to be suspicious of their shot as soon as I understood the technology they had selected. It was clearly NOT a standard vaccine. The more research I did, the less inclined I got towards becoming a guinea pig.

I personally know someone with an IQ over 180 that has deeply researched the whole SARS-COV-2 outbreak since the beginning. He has recovered from COVID-19 and has no interest in getting the mRNA protein production shot. I have had COVID-19 and don't think there is any benefit for me to get it, as there are more risks than gains. I am not against The Shot. I just think it has limited use and is not a panacea. Get it if you want to have partial immunity to whatever they programmed it for. Just don't think it is necessary for everyone to get it. Why is this even an issue? Stupid, ignorant Demzis, that's why.

One does not need a PhD to know better than to receive this particular vaccine. And even if you don’t understand the real agenda behind it, the ridiculous series of carrots and sticks being used to persuade you to take it ought to make you look askance at those who are so hell bent on getting you to do so.
Being injected with an attenuated virus that triggers your God-given immune system to work its magic is what a vaccine does. It’s pure genius. And that’s not at all what’s being offered to you this time.

Less than a quarter of PHD’s are hesitant while over 75% are NOT hesitant. Of those with a high school diploma 79% are NOT hesitant. Over 90% of master degree holders are NOT hesitant. This story is one more illustration that those who are hesitant to get the vaccine are a very small minority.
I got the vaccine as soon as it was available. I couldn’t care less that there are those who won’t.
