I think by definition, most people get their information from "mainstream" media. It also seems like hindsight is being applied here. We have perfect information now, and it seems that you are claiming that this whole time _you_ had perfect information/sources from the beginning. How could you expect that people could reasonably believe this? You also seem to be implying that there was some sort of sinister motive to get people to do things like get vaccinated and wear masks. I do not think that is credible; I think it is more likely that uncertainty was high, and it was reasonable to work with a high degree of caution. This belief doesn't require sinister intent, but it does paint people who worked against the grain as being selfish; that seems to track.
