[Pre-print, not peer-reviewed] A nationally representative online survey of 1,315 US adults conducted in June 2020 found that 45% of respondents supported some form of immunity privileges. Among the forms, private certificates were favored over government-issued immunity passports (48% vs 43%). Respondents were more likely to justify immunity privileges for high-risk jobs or to attend large recreational events than for returning to work. Support did not vary significantly across COVID-19 risk factors such as age, chronic disease, or employment type. Women, Hispanics, and members of non-Black minority groups were less supportive of immunity privileges.
