While education is devolved, the government could use the power of the purse (ie research funding) to compel the woke Welsh government to adhere to academic freedom.

This was also robust to adjusting for a range of possible confounding variables - ethnicity, age, gender, socioeconomic circumstances, area-level poverty etc

This pattern disappeared when we adjusted for responses to a survey item asking about whether people had a responsibility to their local community to get vaccinated, but did not when we adjusted for items measuring confidence in vaccines 6/

We think this is because people who were on the fence about vaccination were considering the benefits of vaccination for others in their communities when making vaccination decisions and weighted this lower when they were in the minority locally 5/

I’m sure everyone’s got their own (political hobby horse) take on this but I’m genuinely curious. Why? Health system, diet, what…
