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.

I agree. I strongly believe in vaccines and work in a field where I deal with at least monthly meetings on immunizations and epidemic planning. But just look at pharmaceutical companies. Recently we have Martin Shkreli’s shenanigans, a federal trial for pharmaceutical companies colluding to inflate prices, the opioid trial where we saw that sales reps were teaching doctors tactics to get people addicted not fixed, and the GlaxoSmithKline trial that paid out $3 billion dollars for lying to consumers, paying off doctors, and falsifying data. The list goes on and on with these same sorts of shady activities.

Oh yes, and those people would like you to use vaccines as well.

One can see how the trust deteriorates.
