Real answer is in the last line there. If 60% of people we're capable of doing their own research (and arriving at the correct answer) then we wouldn't have anti-vaxers, flat-earthers and non-billionaire/non-bigot/non-christian nationalist republicans.

The problem lies where they "find" their "research" when they see the answer they want to see on social media rather than an actual study or any factual references.

They also seem unaware that google deliberately serves them, specifically, tin foil results based on their watch history.
