It’s just bananas that the “highly educated” and “media literate” demographic is the one that is relatively more misinformed regarding covid risks, especially its relative risk to young children. How did we get to this point?

These so-called highly educated are the same “believe science” types who were claiming in February and March of 2020 that masks don’t work, that not wanting to shake hands was racist, and that Covid was “just the flu.”

They don’t actually know anything or have any insights at all. They merely parrot what they see higher-status people claim (who also often know little) and what allows them to appear morally righteous in front of their peers. However, they have no capability for systems thinking and don’t understand most of what they read so they’re usually only right by accident, and even then not that often.
