For starters, look near the bottom where the authors analyzed the responses to this facebook survey by self reported educational status. Keep in mind that anyone could enter any status they liked to mess with the data.
The data is normed to 1.0 using the hesitancy of those who completed a full 4 yr college education as the standard. Those who completed up to but no more than high school had a relative risk of being vaccine hesitant of 1.89. In everyday terms that means those people were 89% more likely to decline vaccines than a 4 yr college grad.
Those who started but did not complete college were 67% more likely to decline shots. Those who got a masters degree were 27% less likely to decline shots.
Those with what the table calls "professional degrees" eg MD JD [but doesn't tell us what the exact wording used on the survey may have been] were 3% more likely to be hesitant. And those with "doctorates" which represented 1.9% of the self reported participants were 35% more likely than 4 yr college grads to be hesitant.
Thus your statement that is wrong, wrong, wrong. The most highly resistant by education is the group with 12 grade or less education.
The vaccine hesitancy ethnicity is highest in absolute numbers in white survey participants, with this number entirely related to the higher number of Trump supporters who were white. The data is all there. Some TOTV readers understand how to read and analyze data, some don't
I'll await your apology.

Thank you for the analysis. I just KNEW those results did not make any sense and I believe I did say that but I did not break it down like you did. Thank you, again.
