It's both types of people that are complicit in all the shit from the past 4 years. A small group of people with clearly bad intentions and a larger group of useful idiots who lack the mental capacity to get over their personal incredulity.
This is occurring in all branches of modern "science", not just medicine. Even particle physicists believe in fairly tales like virtual photons, which are mathematical abstractions not based on the input or output of any experiments. Models and math, completely detached from reality and lacking the ability to define and explain the very things they claim are true.
