Ven, yeah when you look at how information is spread online and how people look at it (i.e. they often don't fact-check) it makes a lot of sense how misinformation or flat out lies are spread so easily
lmao there was somebody arguing the other day that they couldn't talk to people who "blindly believed in science" like ok you're blindly believing a 2000 year old book written by Some Guy
That's the problem, though. It does make sense to some people because they don't do independent research and they're surrounded by people who hate science
