First, (consistent with what others have argued) there is a difference between vaccine hesitance and vaccine resistance. Most people do not want to be first in line for vaccines, but the large majority do want to get vaccinated. 20-25% do not want to be vaccinated. 2/11pic.twitter.com/aeaAdHA0sa

Age: interesting relationship here. The oldest are the least resistant (unsurprisingly given their vulnerability), but the youngest are the next least resistant. The most resistant are the 25-44 year olds. 6/11pic.twitter.com/xREBXGoY31

Excellent work, David thank you. The youth numbers are so stark, highlighting the "what's in it for me" gap. I hope this kind of data makes the messaging people of the world think hard.
