The pandemic absolutely pickled their brains, the percentage of Republicans who say MMR vaccine risks outweigh the benefits has more than doubled since 2020.
Among parents of children under age 18, the large majority say the benefits of the MMR vaccine outweigh the risks, but one in four now say the risks outweigh the benefits, up from 17% in 2022. Like the public overall, parents are divided along partisan lines when weighing the risks and benefits of childhood vaccines. Republican and Republican-leaning parents are about twice as likely as Democratic and Democratic-leaning parents to say, “the risks of childhood vaccines for MMR outweigh the benefits” (15% vs. 33%).
