"They are of course less well educated than the MDs and more susceptible to unsubstantiated scare stories."

Most of the "unsubstantiated scare stories" I've heard have been proposed by DOCTORS who cite their evidence and describe the process by which they came to their conclusions.

And I didn't know that the "educated" are immune to "scare stories." They seem eager to believe scare stories about climate change, Donald Trump, and "white-supremacists," among other things.

I did say “and,” not “and therefore.”

I hear the chatter, though, and it’s not a product of clear thinking. It’s mostly one person trying to make another even more scared, a “can you top this” parody of a real conversation.
