Study Links Conservative Media Consumption to Increased Vaccine Hesitancy in the U.S.
A study by Johns Hopkins University has found that individuals who regularly engage with 'new right' media outlets, such as Breitbart and Newsmax, are more than twice as likely to be vaccine-hesitant. The research surveyed nearly 3,000 adults in 2025, amidst a significant measles outbreak in the U.S. The study highlights a strong association between media consumption habits and attitudes towards vaccines, with hesitant individuals more likely to rely on non-authoritative sources for health information. The findings suggest that media preferences play a crucial role in shaping public health attitudes.
