Have you ever considered that we might be the ones that turn out to be stupid. After all, the vaccines are still only experimental having only been approved for emergency use. No one yet knows if there are any long term effects. I'm hoping not but I still understand there's that risk.
Actually, no, I have my entire life put science first in my life. So, I put my trust in scientists that spend their lives learning about pandemics and doing that for that old fashion, an out-of-style thing called "helping mankind".

Sure there are some scientists that have sold their souls to big corporations and make statements like "Camel Cigarettes are GOOD for your cough". And they are part of the reason for the anti-science so prevalent today.

And then there are the charlatans that sell their snake oil to those that will buy it.

But, those down in the trenches, not looking for fame and riches, do doing the hard work and publishing in peer review journals. I trust them. I think NOT trusting them would be a bad idea.
