My attempts to protect my (college-educated) parents & sibling by debunking misinfo & exposing obvious grifts have taught me that the appeal of magical products that promise to diagnose and cure any ailment is very difficult to combat with facts. How can we repair trust in science and expertise?

Probably a combo of small-scale stuff like working with influencers to share accurate information and large-scale stuff like actually regulating misinformation on social media platforms. A big thing is deincentivizing the sharing of misinformation, which algorithims currently reward.
