The lack of trust in these situations seems to come more from how many people perceive the world of science. Many people seem to think once science has an answer it can't be wrong, and it's difficult to change, when it's more or less the complete opposite. That's what we've been taught in school. No one has been taught about how many studies turned out wrong or are easily misleading, or how to study papers and make research.

I blame education for that, for it doesn't properly teach you how to understand science. Science is taught like a Bible, when it should be taught as something people created and it's error prone.
