      I haven’t ever looked into this. But it got me curious so now I’m looking. I haven’t seen one for vaccines in general yet, but I did find one study about generational differences in opinions on the covid vaccine in particular.

      Interesting read, I’m still digesting the data. Seems like, compared to Gen z and millennials, Gen x was more in favor of the covid vax in this study.

      Again, yes this is just about the covid vax, but there’s probably a decent overlap in the groups

        Covid-only will skew things massively. Disinformation wars really went to town on that one.

          Yea I have no idea how much it skews, that’s why I made it painfully clear. But it does still talk about the generational imprinting of the major events that the various generations experienced.

      I’m just translating.

      There was a skew to trump among gen x ers. But richer people tend to live longer so that’s not an uncommon trend.

      Imo, I would expect the antivaxxers to be more common in generations with school age kids because it is media-slop targeted at parents. I’d like to see the sources myself.
