I feel like there's some kind of unconscious scorecard that smart, college-educated people have where they gain points for every habit/action they adopt because it's "the smartest thing to do according to experts."

The vaccines felt like that sort of badge of pride, at least at first.
Smart people, but not wise enough to figure out one size does not fit all with drugs and biochemistry. Sad.
