Kitta’s Essay Appears in Cultural Analysis

Dr. Andrea Kitta’s essay “God is My Vaccine: Religious Belief and COVID in the United States” was published in Cultural Analysis, Series 1, 2023.

In the essay, Kitta argues, “We should always default to giving an individual the benefit of the doubt and listen to them before assuming what their belief system might entail. There are also areas of vaccine refusal and hostility that only serve to fuel their personal belief system and cause the researcher additional harm. Our efforts should focus on those who are vaccine hesitant.”
