In the new study, the authors surveyed 2,200 people and found 53% had some concern about the safety, efficacy or necessity of canine vaccines. Nearly 40% were concerned that vaccines could cause dogs to develop autism, a theory without any scientific merit.

I don't think the average American knows what communism means other than associating it with something negative. Saying a country is communist just means it's bad.

Americans interpret political ideologies as personal moral characteristics rather than representing economic distribution systems. Capitalism just means innovative but greedy, socialist means altruistic, and communism just means scary bad things with red flags.
