You actually mean spread an opinion. I doubt any one citizen would conduct a trial or research; some may actually look at data, but that is rare. These are opinions, most likely biased by a belief.

You could say that about most breaking news.
It is not reasonable to expect people to conduct a rigorous field research before sharing their observations, especially if people's lives are on the line.
I distinctly remember citizen journalists sharing videos and pictures of the chaos in China at the end of 2019, trying to warn us. I remember all the tech platforms and our media doing everything they could to suppress it.
Most MDs are general physicians and know little about vaccines other than textbook knowledge that is decades old. Why would you trust them over a team of researchers? Especially at this point of the pandemic when we have so much data showing their effectiveness?
I generally trust MDs here more than others. That doesn't mean that some MDs couldn't be completely wrong. But almost all MDs agree that vaccines are very effective.
MDs have, via connections such as subscriptions to medical publications and net sites or databases, access to more information than most people, and because of their training have an ability to assess information, including which teams of researchers are doing genuine science, and which are selling horse dewormers.
That’s been the claim for a while, yes. But actually delivery of said promises has always been “soon”.
And while six million isn’t a huge country comparatively, I personally would be mighty pissed off if my entire country was used as a massive financial experiment for crypto enthusiasts.
They are limiting mining of a single coin: Ethereum. Nothing is going to stop mining other coins, which are quite profitable. Also, Ethereum is going through two upcoming events which will change the landscape dramatically. July has EIP-1559 which will reduce ETH mining earnings by 30% and the eventual move to proof of stake in late 2021/early 2022. Both of these events will make other non-ETH coins more profitable.
Not sure I completely agree. I was in the ASIC biz back in the early 90s. I knew about the NN company I described above because they were a customer. Looking at NRE costs now vs then it doesn't seem all that different (considering inflation). (Sure, they can do a lot more gates now than back then)
Staking (for Ethereum 2.0) will be the mechanism over the current proof of work method. This will reduce the energy cost significantly by removing the requirement of mining.
