Reasoning with the unreasonable

You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into to begin with. I just wonder how many oblivious people would chop their little finger off if NEPHT said it would reduce their chances of catching the virus! You'd be surprised...
I would even hazard to guess that the majority of people with public-health skepticism are highly informed, scientifically literate, and sophisticated in the use of and questioning of data.
