I started out believing that COVID is blown way out of proportion for the first couple of weeks, seeking evidence that mortality rates are lower than people thought, etc (not that it's a conspiracy or whatever, just that we're overreacting). But reading papers about it looking for data to support this, then hearing accounts of medical staff, and discussing it with friends made me do a 180 pretty quickly. It could also be the social atmosphere around me, I'm not sure, but I do remember totally flipping my position and understanding what an idiot I was, it wasn't a very gradual process.
