Table 4.
Adjusted odds ratios (with 95% CI) of comparisons within gender, age groups, and health care worker categories regarding belief in microchips in the COVID-19 vaccine, DNA-altering vaccines, and willingness to take the COVID-19 vaccines. The models were adjusted for age, sex, marital status, education level, health care worker category, place of work, chronic illness, prior COVID-19 infection, daily exposure to COVID-19, main and trusted source or sources of COVID-19 information, and level of trust in government information on COVID-19.
