"The largest decrease in hesitancy between January and May by education group was in those with a high school education or less. Hesitancy held constant in the most educated group (those with a Ph.D.); by May Ph.D.s were the most hesitant group."

Not sure I buy it with the clear clustering of education but with PhD being a weird outlier, the excel default graphs don't provide me with too much confidence, tbh.

Oh I know what he's trying to do rhetorically, but I'm curious what he thinks this data means.

I just find it interesting, is all. I didn't necessarily expect the highest education level to be the most hesitant

Any ideas why this education group would be the most hesitant?

A PhD is not a MD

Thats not to say there isnt a somewhat sizeable portion of MD's who are idiots enough to speak against the vaccine, Doctors for Covid Ethics for instance is one such organization with a couple of hundred doctors that routinely speaks out against the vaccine. You can find idiots of any education level or training.

Professional doctorates, which are typically faster to get and lower in "rank" than PhDs.

This is just simply false. There is no ranking system across different fields. Maybe people with phds care about this because they make 50k a year while a nurse crna with a masters works 3 days a week and makes 250k a year. It is a lot harder to get into a crna program then get. A PhD program for history, and even harder to get into an MD program. JD degree value is entirely dependent on your school and ranking within that school.

Professional doctorates aren't even recognized at doctorates in most countries outside of the US.

Based on my Google-fu it's looking like History PhD program acceptance rates are lower than 10% but I can't really find an average. CRNA programs are 26%. Medical school is 7%.

I mean the prereq are massively diff. Nursing undergrad is hardest major to get into, doesn't mean it is the most achieving.

Honestly don't understand the purpose of this discussion. What exactly are you trying to say? That getting a history degree is somehow more achieving than professional degrees? Any PhD? Fine. Lol. Personally i prefer making 4x the cash and actually doing something helpful for humanity

If they only had a a handful even 1 anti vax PhD could skew the results from the actual rate.

A study of the incidence of kidney cancer in the 3,141 counties of the United States reveals a remarkable pattern. The counties in which the incidence of kidney cancer is lowest are mostly rural, sparsely populated, and located in traditionally Republican states in the Midwest, the South, and the West. What do you make of this?
...
Now consider the counties in which the incidence of kidney cancer is highest. These ailing counties tend to be mostly rural, sparsely populated, and located in traditionally Republican states in the Midwest, the South, and the West.
...
The key factor is not that the counties were rural or predominantly Republican. It is that rural counties have small populations.

This simply could be a typical confidence interval flaw of data from a smaller population group. Comments on this site help to explain other discrepancies as well : https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.20.21260795v1.article-metrics

Outside of PhDs there's a clear downward trend in hesitancy as level of education increases, so I'm guessing it's an issue with sample size
