Having gone to college is not evidence that your opinion is any more important than anyone else's.
What matters is: what does the data say about GMO safety? Are your views informed by the consensus of scientific studies?
If not, then the position is still scientifically illiterate, even if the individual has a Masters degree.
Resisting vaccinations is also quite common among educated, affluent people.

It's quite counterintuitive to me that, according to these numbers, education level doesn't seem to affect views om vaccination at all.
