I don’t think we’re really disagreeing here, I think my point was just that in addition to your point about people misreading data, some people read it correctly and come to different conclusions. Not to mention the issues we have no data on like people believing who believe in vaccine shedding. I think people believe in this stuff precisely because there is no data and you can come to whatever conclusion you want. The even stranger thing is that I’m not sure we even all agree on what knowledge is. I think some believe more that knowledge is about what you can argue, sort of a rhetorical/debate centered argument vs a scientific observational/data centered argument.
