I really do despise this term “Vaccine hesitancy”.
For the record, I am not hesitant. I am not waiting around to get it later. I am just not taking your death jab. Ever. It’s that simple. No hesitancy here. Just a desire to survive.
In my view it’s a devious approach much like the marketing approach of ‘assuming the sale’. It’s a way of refusing to acknowledge people like me, and just make us all sound like we are delaying for a while until the ‘conspiracy theories’ abate.
And to do a quickie pre-emptive ‘fact check’ here:
Hesitancy - The state of being hesitant
Hesitant - (Mirriam Webster) - “Slow to act or proceed”.
That being said, it’s a term ‘they’ like to use. And a report showed something I am sure ‘they’ would so badly like to be untrue about the distribution of this ‘hesitancy’!
A paper produced by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh showed that the group with the second highest rate of ‘hesitancy’ are the least educated in America.
HOORAH!! I am sure they perked up when they saw that.
But unfortunately the data went a bit further, showing that THE VERY HIGHEST rate of ‘vaccine hesitancy’ was in the MOST EDUCATED (and arguably most intelligent) Americans. Oops!
Fair play though, they could have buried the information as they so often do (and have) when studies don’t produce the results the funder/organisation is seeking. But they didn’t. So here it is:
Yep. That’s right. PHDs are the least likely to ‘swallow’ the jab, no doubt because they are much harder to fool into swallowing the hocus pocus and fudged data behind the program.
In the report a comment is made as to the validity of this study:
'To our knowledge, no other study has evaluated education with this level of granularity, which was possible due to our unusually large sample (of over 10,000 participants with PhDs).'
Short version? It’s LEGIT! It’s real. The smartest Americans are the most likely to stick two fingers up to the vaccine-mongers.
So next time you’re called a moron, a dumbass, a sheep, a fool (give it 24 hours for all 4 to come your way), just show them a link to this post or to Carnegie Mellon University’s own article about it.
Brilliant! I appreciate your clarification that your not 'hesitant' but instead 'hell no, never'.
A retired physician from Texas. No vaccine for me! I have found numerous "like minded" physicians who have the choice or who are in private practice not needing hospital privileges, also not getting vaccinated.
