People don't have the tools or the time to understand all this stuff. It's all about trust, good reputation.
The only way governments and pharmas have been able to deal with loss of reputation is by trying to ridicule worried people, or persecuting them for a choice. Of course this is only making things worse.

Take your pick among your government, other governments, pharmaceutical companies, your doctor, anyone else’s doctor, immunologists, or any scientist with domain expertise. They all come to the same consensus. What doesn’t make sense is distrusting all of them while trusting Internet numpties peddling supplements.
