"*The researchers canvassed at least 5-M Americans who responded to surveys on whether they were “probably” or “definitely not planning on getting a COVID vaccine. The results are shocking"-*- Paul Ebeling

When it comes to who is hesitant to take a/any COVID-19 vaccine, they are the most highly educated Americans who are not planning on getting it, a new study found.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh said, *““It finds that the association between hesitancy and education level follows a U-shaped curve with the highest hesitancy among those least and most educated. People [with] a master’s degree had the least hesitancy, and the highest hesitancy was among those holding a Ph.D.”*

The researchers’ findings correlate with a Y 2009 study in BMC Pediatrics that found that parents who refused vaccines for their children *“reside in well-educated, higher-income areas than non-refusers.”*

The study revealed that the most common concern for those who are hesitant to take the vaccine are the potential side-effects and a lack of trust in government.

The results of the investigation completely debunk the notion, amplified by media narratives, that only “*dumb”* people are vaccine hesitant.

It also demolishes NYT White House correspondent Annie Karni’s characterization of elitists who attended Mr. Hussein Obama’s 60th birthday party by as “*sophisticated, vaccinated.”*

The Big Q: How many of them have or have not taken the vaccine?

The Big A: Likely the least educated among them and beyond.
