Having less accurate knowledge about COVID-19 is associated with a greater likelihood of contracting the virus, according to new research published in Scientific Reports. The findings indicate that people who believe misinformation about COVID-19 are at greater risk of getting sick compared to their more knowledgeable counterparts.
“When the pandemic first broke out in the spring of 2020, my lab group was struck by the fact that the entire nation was being asked to change their behavior, i.e., to comply with the social distancing recommendations,” said study author Russell H. Fazio, the Harold E. Burtt Chair in Psychology at The Ohio State University.
“Hence, we came to regard the directive as a call for action on the part of behavioral scientists. By May, we had initiated what became a series of studies examining the beliefs and individual difference variables that related to social distancing behavior. Eventually, we re-contacted the initial participants to ask whether they had contracted COVID-19, including whether they had tested positively for the virus, during the intervening four months.”

So, they must be talking about those people that bought into the vaccines?!
So I read that people who take the vax are less informed than people who chose not to. So are the vaxxed more likely to contract Covid?
Karen validation study. They decide what is “disinformation”.
Total bull$hit.
Dumb and dumber because the entire premise is predicated on a politically biased basis of what constitutes “misinformation” about Covid19 or about the vaccines for it. In my extended family in the greater NYC area the only ones I know of who have gotten the Covid19 bug and an associated illness with it are persons who are very Liberal and fully vaccinated. Does the article count them among the “misinformed”? I don’t think so.

Well, that explains EVERYTHING!
/s
That would be me!
Had it at the age of 68, survived it with ease and have four successive positive IgG antibody tests to prove it.
Must be because me and my non-masking community have been doing ok and I have a wife that’s been working in a nursing home the whole time. We agreed at the beginning, no newfangled mRNA vaccine for us. Finally got covid just over a week ago. Not sure it it’s Delta or Omicron. Symptoms are inline with the latter but I set her up with monoclonals the day before fedgov announced the one she got was no longer to be used and we both took all the FLCCC protocol vitamins and I did 4 of the 5 days of IVM. We’re fine and it was kind of a relief to have finally have gotten it.
The rural MO community didn’t necessarily believe in misinformation. We simply don’t believe in much of what the msm and fedgov have to say. We live based on real world observation. Everyone knew kids weren’t really at risk so the kids went back to school last Fall. Adults weren’t going to upset the normalcy of the children’s lives over something that affects the old and ill. The old and ill are experienced in taking care of themselves.
“So are the vaxxed more likely to get covid?”
Well nearly every state stays show unvaccinated more likely to die of covid.
The latest stats is 20:1 in Texas. Unvaccinated have a 20 chance higher of dying of covid. The stats are on the Texas dept of health.
Even Gov. Ron Desantis said if you are unvaccinated you have a greater chance of dying.
The “vaccinated” are getting it constantly.
All this coldvid 🐂 💩 is based on a germ..that even IF you get it ..you have a 98+% chance of survival.
So, honestly tell me who is stupid?
Stop the insanity.
Thanks.
The question is: Who decides what is “misinformation”?
“The question is: Who decides what is “misinformation”?”
*****
The loud guy with the big stick.
“Half of the ‘information’ regarding COVID the last 2 years has been misinformation, propaganda, lies. The problem is in determining which half that is.”
*****
At least half, and it comes from every direction, all the time.
“”””In addition, greater trust and confidence in President Trump, greater trust in the federal government, and greater conspiratorial ideation were associated with an increased likelihood of contracting the virus””””
Above from the article-—These three conditions cover about 100% of the population.
Those people who trust Trump are a completely different set of people who trust the federal government.
I would like to see the questions and which questions were based on false premises.
Probably true.
People who believed the covid misinformation that the vaxx prevented infection and transmission…were far freer in their behaviors
