Quantum mechanics is weird but coherent and testable. Chemtrails or "COVID vaccines are killing, COVID isn't" aren't.

It makes perfectly sense to me that the COVID vaccines could be killing people. The amount of testing they did was very limited and the little they did wasn't really a big success. How mRNA interacts with the human cell and the immune system, nobody seems to fully understand, and the way they withheld information is highly suspicious. Just to name a few. Thinking science is about trust and not distrust, is telling of how much one understands critical thinking. And parroting the mainstream media instead of doing your own research, has never been a smart move. My point being; just because a particular view is dominant, does not automatically means it's the correct one. Quite the opposite.

  None of the people who proclaim they do their own research do their own research. Yes, they use Google. Yes, they might read the conclusions to other people’s research. But not a single person uses the scientific method to determine whether their hypothesis is correct. So whenever someone says that they are doing their own research, I’ll just assume they are trying to confirm their own biases and beliefs, while trying to convince others they’re skeptical and unbiased.

    I see where you are coming from, but reading other peoples research is also research. And what you say about bias, is most likely true for a lot of academic research as well. And a lot of people actually do their own research. I once tried to find the article which explains how CO2 is the cause of global warming. I read through all the IPCC reports, I read through all the referenced articles, and I read through all the referenced articles in all the references before giving up. One would think that such an important article would be easy to find, but as far as I know, it does not exist.
