The
Pew data are very illuminating and, indeed, the Science article points to Tuskegee as well. Bluntly, college-educated people, whites, Dems, non-evangelical Protestants, Catholics, religiously unaffiliated people, and Boomers are more likely to want a vaccine vs the Avg American. As for blacks....can anyone blame the skepticism seen in this poll?
Boomers remember what polio and smallpox were like before the vaccines for them. They’re (mostly) quite thankful for vaccines and all they’ve done to keep them and their kids and grandkids safe. I will never understand the backlash against the modern medical marvels that save millions of lives every year.
