This is crazy inaccurate btw!
True story:
February 2021 - one of my friends (masters in management) asking me: Why are you still not vaccinated? You have PhD in chistry !

Self-reporting PhDs. Yeah right.
Sorry, Medical Informaticist telling you this is inaccurate.
You: MBA
Vs.
Me: Some college
I’m gonna go with the meme on this one.
lol 😂

Literally, still never know whether I’m on the far left or far right…I flunked the SATS…so high probability I’m on the left 😂
I'm right in the middle, but no damn way I'm injecting something with liability protection for the manufacturer and little to no benefit for me. What a rort.
Ok, I mean I only live in data, every day, all day.
This doesn’t refute the meme.
The meme is from people that lied, isn't that obvious. People lie on self reporting surveys, the smallest categories are the most influenced. As faculty at a med-school, I promise the doctors all get vaccinated. Where you see hesitancy is in the nurses, etc. People with doctorates are not RFK-types. I work with those PhDs and MDs. Do you?
I know many phds and mds yes.
Even have this guys number in my phone 
Med school faculty and doctors in general are followers, not thinkers.
They are practitioners within the current scientific consensus.
To say they all take vaccines is to understand the obvious. People entrenched in a paradigm follow the paradigm.
I am a physician and this is how it is.
Points at data.
Scientific progress is a kind of a mirage. Populations change and the so does the data. Evidenced based medicine is just like every scientific enterprise—linear, and progressive only within a given paradigm. New paradigms are more the result of new thinking, than accumulated data from the old paradigm. Check out “the structure of scientific revolutions” by Thomas Kuhn.
Other than in my case, where science has been redacted for some idea of ethical medicine overruling scientific knowledge, I'm too analytical to believe anything other than those vaccines save lives and that's science. It's basically immoral from a societal perspective and selfish to not get them. You do you, but that doesn't make you right. I prefer moral decisions, it makes life and society better.
“Immoral from a societal perspective” seems like a Utilitarianism (greatest good for greatest number”. This may appeal to your analytical mindset, but I think it is a brutal totalitarian philosophy that can justify anything in the name of the societal perspective.
And “you do you…I prefer moral” is obnoxious and smug.
You may find yourself in a very small society with this approach.
I'm dying, it makes life simple.
