Not entirely accurate, in my opinion. You should realize most issues brought up as arguments between left and right are publicized in order to substantiate a (mostly ficticious) divide between the left and right, and thereby prevent cooperation on instituting solutions that would likely disrupt established power structures. I would have to argue also, that point 2 is somewhat incorrect. The cultural attributes of liberalism are more likely derived from television, which has many orders of magnitude more influence over people's thinking than any college or school has. Don't discount the social cues adopted by peer groups which influence one's behavior, also mostly imparted through television.

Perhaps your 3rd point is the most accurate of the stated reasons. But, even then, your final conclusion leaves me disturbed. There is no reason to distrust verifiable facts when they are presented, and I don't think right-wingers are any more prone to ignorance than left-wingers. What is rotten in the entire matter is that the industries attached to that science, and governments that employ science for the same reason, as a tool, with which to procure economic benefits from market participants.

All that I can suggest to anyone who wants to complain about people who do not trust vaccines, is to do something to make them more trustworthy. If they are so imperative to public health and safety, then why have a profit seeking corporation directing the implementation? The very track record of behavior by the pharmaceutical and agro-chemical industries make me question the very sanity of those who would promote thier products, let alone use them on themselves or their family.
