Holy shit, a reasonable comment that doesn't just assume the other half of the country are idiots.

People don't know what to believe and are skeptical for good reason (some historical, some present). Time and time again we've seen our institutions fails us. We see blatant corruption that the elites don't even bother to hide (e.g. corporate capture). And we see freedoms eroded in times of crisis (e.g. Patriot Act). I'm not saying we should be conspiratorial about doctors or science. But reasonable people on both sides of the aisle see what's happening to our institutions and this has knock on effects.

Science is often communicated to the public via either companies, politics, or the media. Which al have their own interests and issues in representing “scientific facts”.

Science is communicated using whatever means has an audience.

Science is also communicated much more precisely and accurately in scientific journals, but those generally aren't easily accessible to the wider public.

Do you have a suggestion to how we might solve those 2 overlapping problems?

The thesis is that you should listen to experts when you don't know what you're talking about. No one is saying experts are never wrong, but they're more likely to be right than just some guy. There's a whole lot of 'just some guys' who claim to appreciate science until it tells them something they don't want to hear. That's what the meme is against.
