People with more empathy more likely to support international sharing of COVID-19 vaccines, study shows uniofexeter PLOSONE
] also found a positive relationship between support for domestic redistribution and international redistribution at least among some voters . The reasoning is that these voters might support redistribution primarily because they want to see a reduction of inequality rather than because they would gain from redistribution personally. This logic could apply also in the case of international vaccine solidarity.
Although we draw on pre-registered analyses of a large, nationally representative panel survey of a notable case , this research includes limitations. A noteworthy limitation is that our cross sectional survey only provides a snapshot of citizens’ attitudes towards international vaccine solidarity at a particular point in time. Citizens’ attitudes on this issue might in fact be very volatile in nature and driven also by context conditions.
The role of context conditions has not been the focus of our analysis, but it is undoubtedly an important one. Future research should analyse the volatility of public support for an international redistribution of medical supplies such as vaccine doses and what role domestic infections play for the willingness of citizens to share their medical supply internationally.
Another limitation relates to the measures that we employed in our analysis. We relied on single-item measures for several complex concepts rather than multi-item scales. Our robustness checks reinforced our results, but future research could use multi-item batteries in order for the analysis to better capture individual differences. Future research could also collect data on support for foreign aid side by side with support for international vaccine solidarity.
Finally, it should be noted that the extent to which COVID-19 posed a real or perceived risk and affected citizens is likely to vary in ways beyond the issues we could account for. Individuals who consider themselves to be less at risk or who are less affected—for other reasons—might be more willing to share vaccine shots. Future research might address these factors in a more detailed fashion.
