I don't get on this site much, but today I am tiring of folks telling me that ivermectin didn't save India and the Carnegie-Mellon study is BS.

I would suggest you folk start reading a different newspaper quickly instead of listening to main stream media.

BTW, I do accept both of your apologies in advance.

I looked at the study. Makes no sense at all. Here is one apology. Not sure what the other one is supposed to be for.

Kinda explains some of the comments on this site by the vaxxers.

That's a poor interpretation of the results.

The least change in vaccine hesitancy in the Education group found during the study was with PhDs. Even then, their overall vaccine hesitance was about 25%. On the other hand, Race, Trump Vote Share, and Age showed groups with hesitancies up to 35%.

And you should read more than just the articles that agree with your favored position. There is more than a little disagreement with the assertion that Ivermectin saved India.

That's even less than a shred----Paul Craig Roberts????? He's insane. And he is an ECONOMIST----just the person to pontificate about a virus. Try harder.

Well, I'd get used to it. That's kind of like getting tired of people telling you the sky is blue or 1+1=2.

I took your suggestion and googled the study. I then took the extra step to actually read the study and look at the tables and figures. I have copied the one that related to education and vaccine hesitancy for your edification, if that is possible.

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

the survey concluded that the most resistant group to the vaccines were not blacks, Latinos, Trump conservatives, hut the highly educated.

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.

I agree. Thank you for a very excellent post!

Where? Did someone denigrate the dead? If so, did the dead complain or just someone looking for anything to argue about?

I’m sorry. Where are you getting your news? This seems like a very sheltered opinion of a world-wide PANDEMIC!

Please provide us with a list of famous people you’ve dined with so we’ll know whom to trust. Thank you

Who do you trust anymore? We get lied to so often.

You don't need the whole list. People just need to know what Fauci is like in person so as to not denigrate him with wildly inaccurate posts.

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.
