How do people become skeptical towards vaccines? My new paper with @WillemDeKoster & Jeroen van der Waal @socscimed explores how vaccine skepticism comes about doi.org/10.1016/j.socs… 1/8

Future research could uncover how a wide variety of health-related events related to other issues than vaccination can trigger processes shaped by pre-existing views, like events related to medically unexplained symptoms or vaccination against COVID-19. 8/8

Parents with science-oriented health views, on the other hand, queried the potential risks of vaccination and sought out what the viewed as the most scientifically sound information to answer their questions. 7/8

Waarom zijn hoger opgeleide ouders sceptisch over vaccinaties? Sommigen omarmen hun intuïtie en de natuur, anderen kijken kritisch naar wetenschappelijk bewijs. Bijdrage @socialevraagst met @JosjeTenKate en Jeroen van der Waal socialevraagstukken.nl/waarom-hoger-o…

Happy to announce that I have been appointed as Full Professor of General Sociology, in particular Cultural Sociology @ESSB_Erasmus. A good occasion to use my first ever Twitter emoji: 🎉🎉🎉

These opposing views on vaccination are likely to inspire different responses to the same health-related information. Future research could uncover how they play a role in the population at large and how they play a role in the reception of health-related information. 7/7

Consequently, the same vaccination decision (e.g. not vaccinating against measles) can be made for different reasons: because measles are seen as crucial to natural development, or because the scientific basis for the measles vaccine is deemed insufficient. 6/7

How can we understand vaccine skepticism among more-educated Dutch parents? My new paper with @WillemDeKoster & Jeroen van der Waal @JofHSB shows their vaccine skepticism is informed by radically different health views. 1/7 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
