Regarding education levels and vaccine uptake, my experience practising chiropractic in Canberra for decades is that the better educated certainly do get vaccinated more, and have greater belief in Allopathic medicine. Canberra has a higher proportion of people with Bachelor or higher degrees than the rest of Australia. During covid we were the only jurisdiction in the country not to introduce mandates for health care workers, because they didn't need to. Everyone lined up willingly. We were one of the most highly vaxxed cities in the world.

As a "mere" physiotherapist ("mere" because I have five tertiary degrees and don't call myself a "doctor"), I can echo these sentiments, that better education (or "indoctrination") is certainly no insurance against outright stupidity. And because I don't call myself "doctor", people feel free to totally disregard any advice I give them, because their "real doctor" always knows better! I work in a mining community where most are poorly "edu-macated" (yet, well-indoctrinated), and most rolled up their sleeves for the fake-"vaccine". The better educated ones amongst them did the same. They're actually a bunch of COCks! C.O.C. for "compliance, obedience and conformity". In a mining community, it seems that nobody wants to stand out, so miners generally comply, obey and conform!
