You've either grossly misunderstood what I said, or you're purposefully being obtuse.
I didn't say poor people are inherently stupid, nor did I say they're the only ones who got the gene therapy. Being poor doesn't equate to lacking education. Similarly, possessing education doesn't equate to possessing financial wealth.
In fact, the correct term isn't "poor people" at all, that's just how OP was framing it and thus how I framed my reply. The proper term is "lowest common denominators". Long story short, the idiots and morons. I was going to be offending people either way so it is what it is.
Regardless, what I said was, "poor people" are the largest social group in the US (this is a fact) and thus have the largest amount of useful idiots (this is a fact) and gullible fools (also a fact) to spread propaganda to the rest of the population - including within their own demographic. AKA, they have the largest distribution of the lowest common denominators.
That's not to say that other demographics don't have their own useful idiots and gullible fools, but we're effectively comparing handfuls to dump truck loads and thus the former is irrelevant. When it comes to effectively spreading propaganda across an entire society, you need a big group of useful idiots to really get it going.
This is the basis of how modern propaganda works. It starts with convincing the largest group which subsequently results in convincing the smallest groups. Eventually, enough people from all the groups believe "it" that the few who don't ultimately won't matter one way or another.
This to say, It doesn't necessarily matter if 1 person believes something, but if you can say "100000 people" do, that 1 person is insurmountably more likely to believe it as well - based entirely on social proof.
Before it's brought up as an "ah-ha!", social proof can also function based on the influence of just a single person if they have a large and obedient following. But that's primarily rooted in the "proof" that stems from the following as they agree without question. Like a shepherd and a flock of sheep. Hence celebrities being used as props and "top doctors" sprouting up everywhere.
If there's still hesitancy, then you shame them; "Hey, you without the bloodclots, those 999 other people got the jab so why haven't you? You're the only one without clots and they all think you're crazy."
It's just how the human brain works. Not EVERY human's, but the majority. We're herd animals after all. If you want to see how easy this is to manipulate, stand downtown when it's busy and stare inquisitively up at the sky. Eventually, 1 other person will. Then 2 more, then 3 more, then all of a sudden 3/4 of everyone on the block is looking up... At nothing. The first couple might have been curious but everyone after is just a sheep following the flock.
You can argue with this all you want, if you want, but you're just arguing against facts. Social proof is the most powerful tool propagandists have and it all starts with the largest group of useful idiots. This group is, almost 100% of the time, considered the "poor people", but more accurately referred to as the LCDs.
