Further investigation into hesitancy among those with a PhD is warranted.”
i think you are reading too much into this article.
At the very end of this paper are the data graphs. It’s clear as day which groups of people are the most hesitant. The phd’s, along with those with ANY college degree, are far
less hesitant to get vaccinated. The data does, however, support the notion that it is unlikely that vaccine hesitant people with phd’s will change their position over time.
