We're living in different times because of the way we receive and curate data as an individual.

Before social media, you'd watch the news, radio etc with your family, people in your community and workplace, as a group it probably made sense to agree to getting vaccinated.

In 2021 its "my choice", to not do x and to y.

In 2021 people come primed to a discussion or a decision with a huge artillery of "facts" they've spent time being recommended by algorithms.

This seems to be unique and unparalleled in history.
