Important statistical question – how correlated is mask rejection and vaccine rejection? are these independent issues in people’s minds or do we have same people denying everything?
why is it important? say, 20% of people refuse each of them. If these are the same people, then you can expect pandemic to continue raging at 5x lower level. If these issues are independent, then only 4% of population (0.2*0.2) will be fully unprotected and we can expect significant reductions at the end…
Argument for independence – people are bring unrelated reasons for each of the rejections. Argument for correlation – the reasons are excuses, and the rejection in both cases is based on distrust of science and authorities, independent character, ignorance, lack of empathy.
Can we take a vote on 2 issues at the same time:
reluctance to wear masks and to take a vaccine from 0 to 10?
mine: 0 and 2
