It really is that way unfortunately. Even when they get fooled and they know they get fooled it doesn't make them more suspicious of the narrative next time. It's large scale Gell-Mann amnesia.
For God's sakes people still eat margarine and that's been a known scam for forty years. The average person is dumber than hell and unfit to make decisions past their own nose.
This is actually a huge pain point for me. People know they are super unhealthy and that everyone is basically super unhealthy but if you tell someone to cut out vegetable oil (or something similar) you'll get a "well, achtually, the experts say that vegetable oils are more healthy than animal based fats- I read that on huffpost or something."
The average pleb doesn't matter, their opinions are just whatever they're told to think. What matters is that the pleb-wranglers in the media, academia, etc, are gonna have short-circuiting brains because of this.
What, did you really think that media and academia care about whether masks actually work?
Their brains won't short-circuit. The regime says masks good. So they say masks good. Any research showing otherwise is a far-right conspiracy theory, until such time that the regime tells them that masks are bad. At which point Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
Normies worthy of the title will just go right along and fall for the next obvious bullshit. Because they're stupid.
