Not ignorant, but have a more open mind, take a good look from the other side, and maybe have more respect for those who don't believe what you believe.
You do understand having an open mind doesn't mean that you automatically believe crackpot theories that have been widely discredited, right?
As much as it would be nice to do labratory research on vaccines and the immune system, I just don't have the resources to do that. Because of that, I'm going to have to trust that 95% of scientists who devote their lives to studying these things know what they're talking about.
