This is caused by our culture and our political leadership. As shown in this topic, too many Americans both never want to be told what to do no matter how beneficial, are conspiracy minded, and believe reality is simply a matter of opinion and that disregarding it is being a "free thinker" or "independent"

This has negative consequences all the time, but it's literally life or death with a pandemic that doesn't care about what these people think about anything, it simply uses them as vectors.

Then our leaders model bad behavior and give positive feedback to these toxic mindsets because they're reliant on these same people.

That's how we get where we are.
