It's a big problem, more if in the education system is based only on the in the accumulation of data and on the other hand without putting priorities in reasoning, worse when science is strongly influenced by absurd religious beliefs. They want usefull and submissive subjects, not thinking people.

People need to learn how to build a "firewall" for their brain.

Well the new world order is what the people in power want, but they only need smartphones and tv to do it. No chips in the brain needed, people are idiots.

We need to split the US up into two parts so we can do A/B testing.

As others have said, the problem of vaccines isn't that they don't work. The problem of vaccines is that they work too well. They have completely eliminated the diseases that motivated their development, so people can't imagine a world where these vaccines don't exist anymore.

We need to split the US up into two parts. One gets vaccines, the other one does not. Wait 30 years. Then the people will see the effects and then the people will understand why we should have vaccines. If the people don't see the alternative scenario, they can't see the difference that vaccines make. We need to make these differences more visual.

I was one of those people in college, the only reason I even graduated was because I found tutors to get me through my required math and science credits. I'm smart enough to know that there are many things I don't understand so I listen to who do understand them to not do that is like going to a lawyer and explaining the practice of law or to a mechanic and telling them how to fix your car.

None of the basic bio taught in American or Western schools is enough to actually understand mrna and how modern immunization works. Physics has ONLY been helpful to me racing cars.

The issue is tearing down institutions that serve as experts.
