I have a very intelligent family member, retire professor, PhD in nursing, bought the hoax completely. I think the scammers knew they had to convince the medical industry first. Many felt specially informed and got inflated as solution crusaders saving the world. The most dangerous evil is the one who truly believes they are doing good
The PhD professors are the easiest to fool, because they fully believe in the CDC, FDA, NIH, etc. as authorities, and they live in ivory towers. They are also the ones publishing much of the nonsense in peer-reviewed journals, usually on frivolous and even ridiculous topics. Not only is this how they obtain tenure, but its how they get paid.
