I think we are in a similar place. I have similar feeling about the global warming debate, seems like it's a real thing to me, and the scientific justification makes sense. I try to keep an open mind though, I know people smarter than me like the famous physicist Freeman Dyson were skeptics, and the 'science' wasn't quite as settled on mrna vaccines as the same authorities claimed. Honestly, its just crazy how the 'science' has gone about being from data and arguments to some sort of religious 'trust whatever the experts say'. I trust science, but the scientific facts often change when we learn more. It's tough, and I understand why people are confused and angry

Climate change does remind me of covid, in that first the scientists and media warn it is going to be terrible, then things aren't that bad so people don't trust the scientists and media anymore, but that threat is kind of bad, not something to just totally ignore but not something to go nuts over either. We know pollution can be deadly, causing a lot of health effects these days, sending ppllution gasses into the atmohsphere can't be good. I think they use chemtrails to try to mitigate this but it'll probably have other negative consequences and that's like how the vaccine meant to control covid has other health effects on people. There are other ways to solve climate change like not polluting but they don't really want to do that, not if it doesn't lead to more profits. There are solutions to covid besides the vaccine but that doesn't make pharma profits.
