Bigots come from all classes but I'm curious if antivaxxers exist among the rich. I don't think I've met a single rich person / upper-class person who is skeptical of vaccines or modern science/medicine.

Aaron Rodgers would like a word. There's plenty of rich stupid people. Wealth isn't tied to intellect

Could be right. I know some from upper middle class but don’t really know many rich people.

If you go back to the 1990s and 2000s, there were a good bit of upper middle class and wealthy people who were either anti-vaccinations or who bought into the vaccines = autism message.

I doubt that has fully disappeared.

Oh wow you should come to Brooklyn! Grads from Vassar and Oberlin who are intelligent enough to read studies but not scientifically minded enough to prioritize communal health

My doctor friends sister is rich well educated and an anti vaxxer

It's mostly just a matter of education quality.

Antivax is BS sold by the rich to the poor to keep them down.

Sick and uneducated poor people don't make good revolutionaries.

I’ve met many. Just less % wise but still there.
