These people would stick their house keys into a power outlet if someone told them it effectively treated covid, measles, herpes, whatever.

Take note that these people make a point to get out and vote.

These people would stick their house keys into a power outlet if ~~someone~~ anyone but a doctor told them it effectively treated covid, measles, herpes, whatever.

FTFY.

Doctors would tell them to get vaccinated, wear a mask, stay home when sick, etc. and they wouldn't do that. Some antivax quack tells them horse paste, bleach, vitamin a, or literal snake oil will cure them? They're all about it.
