The kind of people swayed by "national messaging" (e.g. "Your government assures you this fast-tracked vaccine is safe enough for you") are probably not the problem here.
It's the people that have heard enough "national messaging" in their lifetime to regard everything skeptically (see [0]-[5] for some context).
More "national messaging" isn't what fixes healthy skepticism of the same.
