When relating the answers to these questions in the Pew surveys to people’s political views, I find an interesting divergence. The more conservative and also the more liberal someone is, the more likely he or she is to believe that vaccination is unsafe.
Yet only those who are very conservative are more likely to believe that vaccination should be a parent’s choice. This suggests the social dynamics that shape Americans’ personal beliefs about vaccine safety are not the same as the social dynamics that shape their views about whether parents can decide not to vaccinate their children.
What I found is that the more political someone is, the more likely he or she is to believe that vaccines are unsafe. Those who are “very conservative” are one-and-a-half times more likely to believe this than moderates.
Yet, the same is true for those on the left: compared to moderates, those who are very liberal are also one-and-a-half times more likely to believe vaccines are unsafe.
Interessant, thanks. Ik denk dat het wel belangrijk is om dit te vermelden.
When we look at whether people think that vaccination should be mandatory or a parent’s choice, a different story emerges.
Now it is only the very conservative who are more likely to think that it should not be mandatory: they are twice as likely as moderates to think that it should be a parent’s choice. Liberals are now more likely to think vaccination should be required: Compared to moderates, liberals are 43.5 percent less likely to think it should be a parent’s choice and those who are very liberal are 14.2 percent less likely.
What explains this divergence? First we have to realize that there is a difference in the overall number of Americans who believe that vaccinations are unsafe versus the number who believe it should be a parent’s choice. The Pew surveys indicate that 8 percent of the U.S. population think that vaccines are unsafe, while 28.2 percent think it should be a parent’s choice.
Dus als ik het goed begrijp denkt 8% van de US populatie dat vaccinaties niet veilig zijn, waarvan extreme conservatieven en liberalen de meerderheid uitmaken. Dat is gelukkig een relatief klein getal. Dan heb je ook 28% van de US populatie dat zegt dat vaccinatie een keuze voor de ouders moet zijn, waarvan conservatieven de grote meerderheid uitmaken. Dat is al een veel grotere hoeveelheid.
Ik heb hier een iets recentere poll gevonden over vaccinaties in het algemeen en dan zie je inderdaad dat maar liefst 30% van de liberale kiezers tegen verplichte vaccinatie opgelegd door de overheid zijn. Er is wel een groot verschil met conservatieven (46%) maar minder dan ik dacht. Bij COVID-19 is het verschil dan wel weer groter.
