From Searching for the cognitive basis of anti-vaccination attitudes:
"Although most earlier studies have included fewer predictor variables, the same cognitive factors that were here associated with vaccine skepticism have predicted belief in fake news (Bronstein et al., 2019), belief in alternative medicine (Galbraith et al., 2018), skepticism about genetic modification (Rutjens et al., 2018) and climate change (Trémolière & Djeriouat, 2021), paranormal and conspiracy beliefs (Rizeq et al., 2021), creationism (Sinatra et al., 2003), the tendency to rate meaningless statements as profound (Pennycook et al., 2015a), and a general tendency to endorse pseudoscientific and other unwarranted beliefs (Čavojová et al., 2020; Fasce & Picó, 2019; Piejka & Okruszek, 2020)."
From the brain trust at omegancanada.win: "Ah baloney!"
Folks, sudden death is worth it.
No one wants a cold,. Everyone wants chronic heart disease from mutant RNA injections
According to the research listed above, folks, - and that's not all of it - it tends to be the just the ones with a looser grasp on reality that think they're better off ignoring the science.
Your posted study is from pre-covid and i agree, those ant-vaxers are dumb.
Sure.
Published "Published online: 04 Mar 2022" is prior to 2019.
That's how it can link to studies from 2020 and 2021. /s
Right in the first paragraph of the study:
And the very next sentence is "The results showed that anti-vaccination attitudes decreased slightly with cognitive abilities and analytic thinking styles, and strongly with scientific literacy. In addition, anti-vaccination attitudes increased slightly with teleological bias and strongly with an intuitive thinking style, ontological biases, and religious and paranormal beliefs. The results suggest that the same cognitive mechanisms that predispose to other epistemically suspect beliefs may predispose to anti-vaccination attitudes as well. The findings also indicate that pro-vaccination communication should focus on early prevention and that interventions against vaccine hesitancy should strive to be intuitively appealing."
Do we have any anti-vaxxers here folks?
