Itโs just bananas that the โhighly educatedโ and โmedia literateโ 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 โbelieve scienceโ types who were claiming in February and March of 2020 that masks donโt work, that not wanting to shake hands was racist, and that Covid was โjust the flu.โ
They donโt 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 donโt understand most of what they read so theyโre usually only right by accident, and even then not that often.
