In an editorial May 17, 2023, The Post Editorial Board cited “a deepening vaccine hesitancy” reported by the Pew Research Center as a result of their  recent public survey. The Post, saying that “ [the Pew survey] “highlights the public’s continuing trust in information from a doctor or other health-care provider about vaccines,” notes that “clinicians can play a major role in fending off the shadowy doubts and unfounded suspicions, if they speak up forcefully, early and often.”
