For instance, they're more likely to eat organic foods because they oppose preservatives and other chemicals in their food. I'd say that most vegans are environmentally conscious. I'd also say that vegans are more likely than others to be averse to vaccines. Ergo ... some correlation wouldn't surprise me.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking. It's not the science but the preformed belief/bias/philosophy; if the science supports their belief, then yes they believe in the science, if not then no the science is suspect. But what about folks who don't believe that global warming is real, do those people believe in getting immunization shots? Just thinking/asking out loud.
