Covid vaccination rates [correlate significantly with educational attainment](https://news.usc.edu/182848/education-covid-19-vaccine-safety-risks-usc-study/), and [so does life expectancy](https://news.yale.edu/2020/02/20/want-live-longer-stay-school-study-suggests), so this doesn’t seem surprising. (It also suggests that we, as a society, should be taking a long, hard look at how education, health, and economic inequality intertwine, but since it’s a lot easier to blame people for their individual choices, I’m not very hopeful that we will.)
