I was on the fence about the covid vaccines, until I smartly realized the canaries in the coal mine aren't dropping dead, meaning the first human test subjects for the vaccines from a year ago. Now I'm fully immunized from covid and had nothing but a sore arm for several days from both injections.
No...you are not fully immunized. You can still get COVID-19 even with the vaccines which appear to be giving many people a false sense of security that they're now fully immune. Not true.
Fine with the vaccine, not fine with the idea that because there are variants that can still infect you we need to do forever masks and distancing and perpetual stimulus.
Maybe it's more a case of, educated people harbor greater trust than less educated people.
And that would include greater trust of medical institutions.
I think that's true, but would like to modify it a little.
College educated people put greater trust in the US institutions - recognized media sources, recognized medical professionals, etc.
Uneducated people are more likely to put very strong but undue trust in off-shoot, non mainstream sources of information that's counter to the traditional mainstream media or experts.
And that behavior makes the uneducated extremely vulnerable to misinformation and superstitious behavior.
The only debate here in this thread is about the definition of "education".
The non-educated do what they're told and have leaped into the middle of the stampede toward the vaccine. The educated understand that there is good reason to be very cautious and that many have been harmed or killed by this experimental vaccine that they did not need or stand to benefit from.
How are you defining "educated" here, in a thread that shows college educated are more likely to get vaccinated?
Are you defining "educated" as "mistrustful, or cynical"?
I will agree, that cynical people, who in general tend not to believe what the mainstream believes, would be less likely to vaccinate. Due to their general suspicion of others and other's motives.
Give one peanut to 100,000,000 people you will have a few side effects.
Give ANYTHING to 100,000,000 people you will have a few side effects.
It's rather interesting how you guys so blissfully dismiss some mysterious deaths that occurred in healthy individuals right after the vaccines. We should apply the same standard to Covid deaths.
Some of the dumbest people I know have college degrees.
Some of the smartest People I know don't have much or any college.
College teaches the common sense out of many people.
Makes perfect sense why people with common sense may not want the vaccines.
Gone are the days you need to be smart to go to college. Everyone goes. We actually have a shortage of tradespeople who actually now make more than most college majors (if they're employed at all).
Someone who finished "woman studies" or something like this does not get to say they're educated. More like indoctrinated.
