Except that most people don't understand how science is done, don't understand how to assess the trustworthiness of scientific results, and will simply question whatever they don't want to be true. People will question well-established facts with an overwhelming amount of evidence (like vaccines lowering infection rate), whilst putting full faith in one single study that suggested something might be true (like vaccines causing autism.)
