"Gen x is the antivax generation" literally means "gen x has a higher % of antivaxxers than other generations"

    I haven't ever looked into this. But it got me curious so now I'm looking. I haven't seen one for vaccines in general yet, but I did find one study about generational differences in opinions on the covid vaccine in particular.

    Interesting read, I'm still digesting the data. Seems like, compared to Gen z and millennials, Gen x was more in favor of the covid vax in this study.

    Again, yes this is just about the covid vax, but there's probably a decent overlap in the groups

    I'm just translating.

    There was a skew to trump among gen x ers. But richer people tend to live longer so that's not an uncommon trend.

    Imo, I would expect the antivaxxers to be more common in generations with school age kids because it is media-slop targeted at parents. I'd like to see the sources myself.
