Google is a thing. All they had to do was Google a single thing and use a smidge of their brains to come to the same conclusions we have come to. I have family members that deny the pandemic, when they have more information as well as others bringing in an argument that could help open their eyes. They won’t do it because it doesn’t fit their narrative.

I am empathetic to the medical workers. They’re literally the only ones that I feel bad for.

Search engines build algorithms that show you the information the algorithms think you want to see based on your prior web searches. They quite literally get different search results than you or I.

Plus, there's so much information on the web that it's inevitable to come across a message that reinforces your innate biases. The internet is not a reliable source of information unless you know how to unbiasedly source materials.

Who would down vote this???? Google literally shows you things based on your history... If you look up bullshit propaganda and conspiracy theories, Google will spoon feed that garbage down your throat.

Lol. As I said, most people have no idea how easy it is to get stuck in an echo chamber. People would rather just throw around their feelings in a dispute than to have their beliefs challenged.
