   Who told you the experts are lying? Do you take the word of some random   
   Facebook/Xwitter loony (or local politician who believes them) over   
   somebody who has made a career out of studying the cause and treatment of   
   diseases? Do you find it easier to respond to someone who pushes your   
   buttons, rather than someone who tries to give you accurate explanations   
   that you cannot be bothered to expend the mental effort to try to   
   understand?
