Watching the media and online forums, you will assume that the people most hesitant to get vaccinated will be uneducated or even conspiracy theorists who think they are injecting 5G magnets into the arm so that the government can track you.
You will be surprised to find that this is not the case.
Although people with low levels of education are still at a high position even when they refuse to be vaccinated, those with the highest levels of education constitute the largest group of people who are hesitant about vaccines.
According to a Carnegie Mellon University and University of Pittsburgh Research, 20.8% of the population with a high school education level or below are not very keen on vaccination. 18.3% of the group with some universities backed down. The number of people with a master’s degree continues to decrease, but the level of education has begun to rise again.
The group with a Ph.D. degree shows that 23.9% of people are hesitant to vaccinate.

One has to wonder why the most educated people in the United States are not so keen on getting the “educated” circle to push for vaccines so hard. To be sure, there is more information to gather here. According to this study, the reasons for refusal to vaccinate are wide ranging, from political beliefs to health issues.
The positions of many highly educated people on this issue are not covered, and more information is needed before actual conclusions can be drawn.
In any case, this is very surprising information. The popular saying in our society is that those who refuse to get vaccinated do so only for stupid reasons. Vaccine hesitation is usually associated with conspiracy theorists or stupid people, but this seems to be far from the truth. The higher your education level, the more hesitant you will find.
Interestingly, according to the doctor’s response survey conducted in June, Nearly 60% Of doctors say they have not been fully vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus.
Back in January, CBS News Report A large number of doctors and other medical staff have also refused to be vaccinated. Many people report being upset about how fast the vaccine is, or simply lacking standard information about it:
This hesitation may be surprisingly difficult to overcome. Surgo surveyed more than 2,500 U.S. health care workers to assess their comfort level with vaccinations. In the survey conducted from December 17 to 30, 53% of respondents were vaccinated. Of these workers, 15%, or nearly 200 people surveyed, said that they refused to get vaccinated, and many claimed that there was insufficient evidence to prove that the treatment was effective, despite other assurances from federal and state health agencies and major pharmaceutical companies.
Another 24% mentioned personal safety issues, while 16% said they thought the approval process was too hasty.
Remember, doctor. Does not necessarily mean a medical degree. People can achieve this level of education in countless subjects, so many people with this level of education do not fully understand the ins and outs of medicine. In any case, hesitation is not the domain of the uneducated. In fact, people with higher education have more of it.
Over time, it is likely that there will be more information about this. RedState will have access to these survey results when they are released.
