The purpose of education is not at all to convince you to see the truth, to arrive at it logically or through observation of reality, but rather to shape your worldview to such extent, that you will not question “established facts”. /2
The extent of education has a sweet spot. Enough. Not to little. Not too much. There is a distinct segment of those who question vaccination - scientific. Funny the author forgot to mention them. Allusion to them is hidden under the code word “sophisticated population”./3
What cognitive distribution doesn’t show you - two types of knowing ignorance at each tail. The lower end that lacks formal education and knows little of the scientific stuff. The higher end that studied enough to arrive at the point of being sure we don’t know much. /4
