De que maneira a ideologia afeta a disposição a se vacinar contra o Sars-Cov-2?

Abstract

Throughout the covid-19 pandemic, there has been signi cant interest in examining the intermediary role of politics and how it affects individual and governmental decisions regarding the development and procurement of vaccines, and implementation of vaccination. An added factor that has played a strong role in driving the politicization of vaccination and vaccine attitudes is driven by the fact that much of the world’s population is also experiencing an “infodemic” – the spread of misinformation related to the virus and vaccines. In this paper, we explore how attitudes towards vaccines developed for the protection of the population against the most severe symptoms caused by the Sars-Cov-2 are correlated with ideology. We analyze to what extent attitudes towards vaccines of a representative sample of Brazilians a ect the individual probability of vaccination.
