Anti-vaccine myths rattle health care Hagere Yilma, Irving Washington, Joel Luther | July 29, 2026

https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2026/07/29/anti-vaccine-myths-rattle-health-care/ KFF’s latest Tracking Poll on Health Information and Trust shows that larger shares of the public express uncertainty over common vaccine myths than definitive belief. The latest analysis, looking at patterns of belief across vaccine myths, shows which adults are consistent myth believers, consistent myth deniers, and those who fall in the “mixed middle” whose views are less defined and may be an important focus for those looking to counter vaccine misinformation. These findings, including a detailed explainer on patterns of belief across vaccine myths, can also be found on KFF’s interactive Health Information and Trust Polling Dashboard.
