If you thought the corona vaccine had side effects, but those who choose not to get vaccinated have none, we have news for you: Vaccine opponents who believe more information about the corona vaccine are more likely to suffer from depression, a new study finds.

A team from Massachusetts General Hospital that examined more than 15,000 people found that people who support misleading theories related to the vaccine are also more likely to have mental health problems.



The study, which analyzed responses from two rounds of online adult surveys across the U.S. between May and July 2021 and was published in the journal JAMA Network Open, found that participants with moderate to severe depressive symptoms were twice as likely to adopt at least one of four false statements presented to them about corona vaccine. As a result, they were also less likely to be vaccinated.The researchers believe the phenomenon may be primarily a result of a loss of confidence.

The researchers assessed incorrect information related to the vaccine using four specific statements.

"We selected these statements based on misinformation gained on social media platforms in the spring of 2021," the team adds.

These statements included "COVID-19 vaccines alter human DNA", "COVID-19 vaccines contain micro-chips that can track people", "COVID-19 vaccines contain embryonic lung tissue" , And "Vaccines can cause fertility problems, making it difficult to get pregnant."

Result of loss of trust.

Estimates show that one in four adults in the United States is afflicted with depression during the plague.

Studies show that it increases their risk of contracting COVID-19.

People with depression may also exhibit less optimistic beliefs, which may lead them to underestimate the potential benefit of a vaccine.



"It should be noted that mood disorders have been linked to worse COVID-19 outcomes in hospitalized patients," the researchers write in their report. The authors of the study.

"We found that the presence of moderate or more significant depressive symptoms was associated with a higher likelihood of confirming misinformation about vaccines," reports study author Dr. Roy Perlis



. With major depressive symptoms often show a more pronounced "negative bias", in which bad thoughts gain more weight, Perlis explains.Therefore, depression can facilitate the absorption of misinformation at the individual level.



"Alternatively, it is possible that the link between depression and misinformation can be mediated by a change in trust," says Dr. Perlis. It is more likely to trust other institutions that disseminate incorrect information. "He added that" as expected, we also found that people who adopted incorrect health information were less likely to be vaccinated or willing to receive the vaccine if available.



" Recently it showed that people who felt stressed, anxious or depressed at the beginning of the plague in 2020 were at a higher risk of contracting corona during that year.
