Progressive / liberal folks can be as tin-foil-hat as Qanon believers. Fact: Very Online™️ people who see conspiracies everywhere are intellectually dangerous. You have to question popular, viral ideas, even when they come from your tribe.

Conspiracists would point out that the source comes from a government website 🧐

Interesting. Very likely many peer reviewed studies would back up the assertions here made by the govt but you’re right that some will discount the source. How sad for 2024
