I think part of the problem is that the official media-approved narrative on coronavirus-fighting tactics isn't exactly the truth. Like, if you believe the press, the lockdowns and social distancing are a well-established, century-old scientific approach to tackling pandemics and stepping away from them will massively increase the death toll and economic damage. The media position is that even allowing them to be questioned is dangerous and will kill people. In reality, they seem to be a new, previously untested, scientifically controversial approach with little precedent since about the Middle Ages: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/22/us/politics/social-distancing-coronavirus.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/22/us/politics/social-distan... This is why, even though anti-lockdown ideas are the realm of conspiracy theorists right now, you can't cure them with information even if their proponents did actually base their worldview on it. I can't see this ending well. There are just too many signs that the media narrative about what works, why, what we need to do, the evidence, and what the costs and consequences are is diverging from reality, and with challenging them so far beyond the pale that leaves conspiracy theorists tying their claims into opposition to vaccines and wild theories about Bill Gates as the main folks questioning it. It's also getting really ugly and partisan, and not just in the US or amongst Trump supporters.
