The psychological research: if a persuader convinces their mark they are trustworthy, whereas other people are not, the indoctrinated will reject the othered especially if they’ve been tagged with moral repulsion.
In your world, Dr. Fauci would never be suffering what he’s suffering because he has facts and data behind him.
The research says that the highly educated are even more subject to indoctrination; they don’t presume they know everything, and reconsider.
