....yeah, it'd be nice if people understood science more, whatever it takes to
get people there.

And it'd be nice if there were more truth in advertising -- it's hard to be
informed on making decisions if you can't get information. But if a company,
oh, uses child labor, they have an incentive to not mention that bit. (and
lots of various other less-obviously-bad things that people would frown upon)

But with vaccines... I suppose I am somewhat biased on the COVID vaccines,
because by the point I was getting one in my arm, I had read a ton of things
about their efficacy rates and various other science-y info about them. So,
whatever the advertisements said were somewhat irrelevant, because I knew the
objective data and was aware of many of the weaknesses of that data.
