ABSTRACT. Employing recent research results covering pervasive misinformation, COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, and lack of trust in science, and building our argument by drawing on data collected from Horizon Research, KFF, OECD, and RSC, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding COVID-19 vaccine attitudes and behaviors. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
