A model of opinion dynamics with echo chambers explains the spatial distribution of vaccine hesitancy [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Vaccination hesitancy is a major obstacle to achieving and maintaining herd immunity. It is therefore of prime importance for public health authorities to understand the dynamics of an anti-vaccine opinion in the population. We introduce a novel mathematical model of opinion dynamics with spatial reinforcement, which can generate echo chambers, i.e ...
