Yeah, I work with a ton of them. I still cannot fathom how many super-smart people were led by their noses by idiot groupthink.
I see a common thread, though...
They all put their faith in science, rather than just their critical thinking faculties.
And I get where their heads are at: mRNA very well could be the holy grail in immunology. It isn't there now. They wanted it to be something it isn't; but meme magic only works on .win (not Twitter).

I feel like the floor has dropped so low simply being able to follow along with basic concepts earns someone the title of "genius"
They may be an scholar but if they're not thinking critically all the time they're not a genius. More like an idiot savant if you ask me.
