Strangely, it was a U shaped curve, with the least vaccine hesitant group being those with masters degrees. Huh, wonder how that happens? Makes you wonder that since it was an online survey, with no verification of accuracy required, that the unusually large number of PhD’s in this survey might have partially consisted of people who lied about their education level.

PhD isn’t an MD. I don’t care what a PhD in geography or history has to say about medical matters.

Now an ATP, that's a different matter. Add a jet type rating and you are master of the universe, have knowledge and insights that mere medical doctors, scientists or lawyers could only wish they had. Our opinions are beyond reproach and our spouses (if we still have one) marvel at our ability and brains.

I don’t care one way or the other but I found this to be an interesting article in Newsweek published yesterday.
Maybe I shoulda held out a bit longer…

88% of nurses, 96% of doctors are vaccinated. I guess they're all dumb.

Forbes magazine story on Houston Methodist Hospital and vaccination: "The rate of vaccination is pretty much inverse of the education level of staff".

Donald Trump victory speech: "We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated."

It's all coming together.
