The problem is the politicized misinformation that's served up by algorithms and convinces idiots of all education and wealth levels that their doctor is part of a 5G conspiracy to give their kid autism.

So is the problem the misinformation or the "idiots of all education and wealth levels?" If we get rid of the misinformation, will those people then stop being idiots? If not, what should be done with all of these idiots? What causes idiocy? Is it genetic or biological in some way?
