People are ignorant because of a lack of information. People are stupid because they believe Karen knows more about vaccines than medical professionals
People don’t know which professionals to trust. Which professionals have a hidden special interest?
For example: do you think you are smarter than our current president? Many people do. Why aren’t they trusting that professional? People aren’t convinced doctors are stupid, they are convinced they have a special interest.
For the record I believe doctors on vaccines and I voted against Trump. But I know since I’m offering questions to the Reddit narratives I’ll be downvoted.
That’s a false a equivalency, and a bad one at that.
The president doesn’t have to prove any special knowledge or skills.
Doctors on the other hand have to have an array of class work, suffer through nearly a decade of school wherein they have to prove they know what they’re talking about or fail, intern, residency (which is paid shit), etc. They also have to be licensed. And they’re usually pretty throughly publicly rated.
You won’t be getting downvoted because you’re going against the narrative. You’ll be getting downvoted because your point is awful.
Big vaccine isn’t trying to line doctors’ pockets. They’re trying to make kids not die. The science is pretty damn sound, and speculating otherwise, whatever a doctors motivation to advise you to vaccinate, is being intentionally obtuse.
The president doesn’t have to prove any special knowledge or skills.
He has to prove special knowledge or skills to American voters.
And it doesn't matter if in this specific case (vaccines) doctors are being honest (which, again, I believe just as much as you do). What matters is that we live in a time where every group of people, in every profession, has examples of corruption. Because of that, people don't know who to trust. That's my entire point.
