Ex-Calif, I heard it described as the “rejection of expertise“. All the folks who think they can learn immunology through 3 YouTube videos (or 3 days worth!) so they “can make their own decisions” are nuts. A real immunologist spends four years in college learning basic biology, then 2 years getting a MS to understand the specific biology of the immune system, at a minimum. Most get MDs or PhDs. I listen to the true experts. I read peer reviewed journals and information from major medical institutions like the CDC, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, etc. I am lucky I had a solid scientific background, but some of it is hard going. Still worth it compared to reading a political blog poster talking about immunology or some chiropractor or even some random primary care doctor without advanced training.
