Better that than hot food just getting hotter and hotter till the room catches fire
The article does not link the study. It can be found linked from the authors site (https://www.mattmotta.com/publications) here: https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/qmbkv/

Data
Data for this study are derived from a nationally representative online survey of N = 2,200 US adults, conducted between March 30 - April 10, 2023. We administered this study in partnership with YouGov...

The firm then corrected for any remaining deviations ... on the basis of respondents’ racial identity, gender identity, age, educational attainment, and 2020 US Presidential vote choice.

As Table 3 demonstrates, a large minority of dog owners consider vaccines administered to dogs to be unsafe (37%), ineffective (22%), and/or unnecessary (30%). Correspondingly, we find that a slight majority of dog owners (53%) can be considered to be vaccine hesitant; i.e., because they endorse at least one of these three positions (see: Measures)
If this is how badly people take on the propaganda when they know it's fiction, imagine how terribly indoctrinated people are in-universe
