Statistics and Data Science Tackles COVID-19 Robin Mejia , director of the Statistics and Human Rights Program at the Center for Human Rights Science, and her colleagues at the Delphi Group at CMU and Wendy C. King , associate professor of epidemiology at University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public Health, conducted several studies on vaccine hesitancy. They found that vaccine hesitancy decreased among U.S. adults between January and May 2021, with variation by occupation, race and other characteristics. While tentative people are concerned about COVID-19 vaccine safety and potential side effects, those with stronger views tend to distrust the government.
