Another twist is that families in lower income social levels are all on socialized medicine, families in hundred fifty thousand plus social level are on private medicine. How does that make a difference? The rate of immunization in children on social medicine is near 100%, the rate of immunization with vaccines is much less on people with private medicine. In fact the lowest rate of vacine injection is in white upper class families, alone with the loweat autosm rates.
I would love to see a study directly relating these issues.
Well, then look at Hollywood's anti-vac intellectual/vocal social circle.
Money and not so much to brag about in the intellectual department - may also be observed in their children.
If you know that nobody can or will make you happy but you yourself, you learn to think, and this happens at an early age.
If you think your misfortunes are always somebody else's fault and that it's someone else's responsibility to make you happy and successful (which is Leftist dogma), your brain will never be stimulated, you'll never succeed, and you'll wind up, resentful, unhappy, angry, miserable--and poor.
Two of the smartest things I ever learned, I learned at a very early age; viz. to say:
"It's my own damn fault" and"Nobody else can or will do it for me."
Since vaccination prevents children from getting diseases that can damage their brains or kill them, then the vaccinated poor have a distinct advantage here.
I think that rich liberals who refuse to vaccinate their kids suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect--they think that a little bit of knowledge on a subject is much larger than it really is--and they have an ability to memorize, without understanding, a great deal of misinformation that is promulgated in anti-vax websites. By refusing to vaccinate their kids, they are creating pockets of disease susceptible populations where an outbreak could spread like wildfire. Once their young children have to fight off measles, mumps, whooping cough, etc., the brain damage caused directly by the disease, and indirectly by the child's body redirecting nutritional intake towards fighting the disease instead of brain development, will pretty much negate any advantages the child might have otherwise had due to an environment of increased intellectual stimulation.
Honestly, those who refuse to vaccinate their kids don't show much intellectual superiority. (In other words, they're dumb as rocks.) So I wouldn't expect their kids to be all that smart, or to remain in the wealthy class.
Children on Medicaid are eligible to get vaccinated. Doesn’t mean they bother.
Could not find any studies directly showing income level correlated to vaccination rates.
