 As I’m an MD myself and said this in 2020 to friends and collegues about Biden having obvious dementia. They laughed it off and said  ”Hans, Hans, Hans…if it were so it would be ALL OVER THE MEDIA!! How can you be so stupid?” 
People are really easily fooled is my conclusion…
and of course, that Mainstream Media is a poison for civilisation in the long run. (Especially public service like Sveriges Television in Sweden). #MSM 
(This was by the way in the same timeframe when I discovered #Bitcoin and immediately went ALL IN). https://image.nostr.build/a5a69ee20060daddab3ea974e1bb4e439bdc380721521c07178aa61e6361e3ff.jpg  
 Very hi IQ friends, no doubt.

 Yes. Some of them. But, as I understand that you understand, IQ is not a the most important factor in these matters. The fear of (social) inconvenience is more important than the truth. Truths are often obvious; you can see them clearly lying at the bottom of the pool, but to get them you have to expend energy, and holding your breath for a short time and you get wet and maybe a little bit cold in the process. Was it worth it? Many prefer to just stay above/on the surface and ignore what lies a little bit deeper, out of convenience. 
 Social acceptance and conformity is a disease sadly
