I don't believe anyone here have these sorts of traits. I think the health of the economy is primary concern of most people here, which is extremely important too.

Abstract
A proliferation of conspiracy theories has emerged during the Covid-19 health pandemic. The present study investigated individual susceptibility to conspiracy beliefs and the mediating role of Covid related conspiracy beliefs on links between personality and intentional dissemination of Covid-19 conspiracies and willingness to obtain a Covid-19 vaccine. Specifically, we focused on trait psychopathy, Machiavellianism and collective narcissism, as these traits have previously been linked to heightened conspiracy mentalities. We recruited 406 UK participants to take part in an online survey investigating personality and Covid-19 information. Machiavellianism and primary psychopathy positively predicted general and Covid specific conspiracy beliefs, whereas collective narcissism positively predicted Covid specific conspiracy beliefs only. Covid-19 conspiracy beliefs mediated the negative relationships between all traits and willingness to obtain a future vaccine. We discuss possible implications of these findings and provide direction for future research.
As the covid contrarians tend not to be anti vaccines in general, but are just sceptical about the new 'rushed' covid ones, and as the contrarians tend to underplay the seriousness of C19 while over playing the dangers of vaccines, this research below might not really apply to them.
'Anti-Vaxxers' May Think Differently Than Other People
In the study published in the journal Vaccine, doctoral student Mark LaCour and Dr. Tyler Davis suggest some people find vaccines risky because they overestimate the likelihood of negative events, particularly those that are rare.
The fact that these overestimations carry over through all kinds of negative events — not just those related to vaccines — suggests that people higher in vaccine skepticism actually may process information differently than people lower in vaccine skepticism, said Davis, an associate professor of experimental psychology and director of the Caprock FMRI Laboratories

Vax pushers don't care about vaccines, or viruses, or pubic health. All they care about is bending others to their will. By contrast, vax skeptics simply want to be left alone.
"I don't believe anyone here have these sorts of traits. "
Really. So why post unverified propaganda on an economics site?
Unless you have replication you just have opinion from gurus. And psychological research is notoriously unreplicable.
“ I don't believe anyone here have these sorts of traits.”
lol all the lefties here all think there is a global cabal of “neoliberals” acting in conspiracy against the benefit of the rest of the people…
Here is Bill from today: “ ECB nearly comes clean”
He thinks the ECB is acting in secret conspiracy and has to “come clean”….
- We are observing an opportunistic push for profits and power.
- This is a fear driven campaign.
- Censorship is being applied.
- Authoritarian sentiment among the population is on the rise.
Behavioral psychology may be able to explain all of the above.
Thank you for that.

Ps: on my way to buy a very simple and inexpensive fermentation kit. The fancy expensive crocks can wait for now. Really, the fermentation of vegetables (cabbage for me because I like it alot) is not difficult at all :)
Mass-achoo-setts is an overvaxxed hotspot.
Go and live on an island then.

Adaptive and Dark Personality in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Predicting Health-Behavior Endorsement and the Appeal of Public-Health Messages
Dark traits (esp psychopathy, meanness, and disinhibition) predicted low endorsement of health behaviors and the intent to knowingly expose others to risk.

Why do you have this need to post propaganda, Kaivey?
It's people like you who end up committing genocide and believing you are righteous.
