So extremely tired of this anti-science stupidity on display in so many places in our society.
I doubt it is just strictly stupidity and/or ignorance.
My guess is it has more to do with the notion of "it can't happen to me" and/or "I'll take my chances" type of thinking. I have acquaintences/friends who think exactly in this manner, in spite of having highly technical/scientific backgrounds (including medicine, biochemistry, etc ...).
Basically purely extreme egotism, plain and simple.
