I do have plenty to back up that taking RFK's anti-vax position as representative of most Dems' views and practices is something that only an under-educated fucking moron would do.

Where's YOUR link to support your implication?

Here's mine that shows my position is better supported by evidence than is yours. I'm not better than other people, I'm just better informed than you. That low bar helps to keep me humble.

Excuse me now while I take some victory laps around my dining room table. :)



The influence of political ideology and trust on willingness to vaccinate

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5784985/

Our findings demonstrate that ideology has a direct effect on vaccine attitudes. In particular, conservative respondents are less likely to express pro-vaccination beliefs than other individuals. Furthermore, ideology also has an indirect effect on immunization propensity.

The ideology variable predicts an indicator capturing trust in government medical experts, which in turn helps to explain individual-level variation with regards to attitudes about vaccine choice.

Conclusion

Decisions regarding vaccination are more complicated than simply considering risks, costs, and benefits. In this paper we argued that socio-political characteristics of individuals shape their vaccination attitudes.

More specifically, we examined the role of ideology, trust, and the relationship between these and attitudes about vaccination. Our findings corroborate analyses that show that the intent to vaccinate differs among conservatives and liberals with conservatives expressing less intent to vaccinate. Similarly, those with lower levels of trust in government medical experts are also less likely to express intent to vaccinate, and these individuals also tend to be conservative.
