You can thank journalists for that. "Expert" opinions have been overused to control public opinion during COVID times, and several of the expert opinions have turned out to be wrong. People remember that, and distrust is the logical result.
Yep -a single look at an "expert" in computing from any recent articles shows the problem first hand. There's a massive issue with a focus on credentialism first, which is leading to a distrust of experts in general.
