""It's quite a stunning set of facts. The common assumption was that skeptics of mainstream health science are the ones who really have questions about health truths ... and it's not true. It's everybody.""
""The data systematically dismantles every demographic explanation for why people believe what they do. Among people with a university degree, 69% hold at least one of these beliefs - nearly identical to the 70% of those without one.""
A global survey reveals that 70% of respondents believe at least one of six widely debunked health claims. This belief spans demographics, with 69% of university graduates and 78% of right-leaning individuals holding such beliefs. The survey indicates that health misinformation is not confined to a fringe group but affects a broad spectrum of the population, including various age groups and political affiliations. Notably, the prevalence of these beliefs is more pronounced in developing countries than in developed ones.
