The "experts" now know the Cat is out of the bag.🐈I do think the average person (whatever that is) is so saturated with information that they have ended their personal search for the truth. The "experts are now in the if you can't win them over with facts, dazzle them with Bullshit.

Yes. Currently working on a piece about the new darn age we are experiencing: the age of noise. There is too much information to handle, and the information is hard to parse. The funny thing is the "experts" can hardly be trusted right now as there are no experts on this virus. It has not existed long enough. Doctors who are complaining they are overwhelmed due to covid (unlikely) treat the virus like another respiratory virus (when it appears to be a blood borne virus more than anything) and do not spend their off hours looking at the research. Researchers are getting paid a lot of money to steer their analysis in a certain way. The closest thing to experts there are may be among the group of people motivated to spend the most time of their days researching this subject (the ones with the boots on their throats right now). Luckily, a lot of us have excellent backgrounds in data analysis and science. Some are clearly grifting as well, but at least even the grifters are in favor of preserving our institutions (like the Nuremberg code). The fact that the other side wants to burn those institutions down in a complex situation that no one fully understands for unknown benefits is the most reckless attack on the western world in my lifetime.
