Public health officials have issued plenty of warnings about people who are reluctant to get vaccinated for Covid-19. But an MIT research team centered at MIT’s Initiative on the Digital Economy (IDE) says this may be counterproductive: When shown basic numbers about how popular Covid-19 vaccines are, the fraction of people reluctant to get the vaccine drops by 5 percent. To reach these conclusions, the team drew on a massive international survey about the pandemic, including 1.8 million responses from 67 countries, and developed an experiment covering 300,000 people in 23 countries. The researchers described their findings in a working paper and a recent LA Times op-ed. The MIT researchers are: Alex Moehring, Avinash Collis, Kiran Garimella, M. Amin Rahimian, Sinan Aral, and Dean Eckles. Stay safe , stay home 🏠
