Making a Biden reference in the headline for those of you who don't know, so unknot those knickers. But in all seriousness, the Commies have made the calculation that people who refuse the vaccine are mouth-breathing Trump supporters, and therefore they can just mandate willy-nilly without pushback from the left. Some evidence, however, shows that PhDs are among the most vaccine hesitant (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.20.21260795v1.full.pdf). Yes, they tend to be liberal, but these people are also well read and have strong opinions about Big Brother-type of governments. If they're as smart as their credentials show, then they should know that a vaccine mandate is just the beginning of a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. Unfortunately, many of them are under pressure to play along with their liberal academic colleagues or government institutions. Now that they will be forced to take the vaccine, they will feel like cornered lab mice. They might just decide that hey, maybe the Omega folk are up to something. So, once they show up, you better be on your best behavior. Comb your hair, wash your face, put on a new shirt, and uncross those eyes.

I think my point is that the paper goes contrary to the narrative that the MSM wants to put out there, which is that only one-toothed cross-eyed Trump supporters are refusing the vaccine because they are ignorant. This is a similar strategy that they've been using for years now in politics. That is, the right is made up of uneducated, fat, and ugly people, while the left is smart, sophisticated, and good-looking crowd. The paper indicates that those who are hesitant about the vaccine also include book-smart people, though it says nothing about their looks. As far as why the two groups (low and high education) are hesitant is difficult to say. Maybe they share a common human trait that makes them suspicious of injecting foreign substances in their bodies, or maybe they arrived at the same hesitancy through different paths, or maybe something else. It's also possible that the design of the study is not good.
Right wingers are objectively better looking. Facts.
I think you're right. Hesitancy seems to cut across all social and educational levels, and over time as well. I understand it was present in the influenza epidemic over a hundred years ago as well.
