Re: overwhelming evidence ?
I think you're touching on the actual issue here.
The problem isn't people who doubt experts, it's the ones who trust them too much and don't get that sometimes they mislead you.
In March there was a global shortage of masks. So a variety of people took it upon themselves to lie to the plebs, probably spontaneously. Now there is no shortage but some of the plebs still believe what those people said when there was.
Having no faith in experts whatsoever, I masked up in March.
