It was killing me with the pandemic. ''I'm not sure about mRNA vaccines, I'm doing my own research'' homie, researching a vaccine means you are running a immunology lab. You're not researching, you're listening to a nut trying to sell you an unregulated vitamin in place of real medicine.

I did my own "looking into something and learning about it", and you know what? I came to the conclusion that a lot of those people are pretty smart and know what they're doing.

Research can mean something that's a synonym to what I said in quotes above since it doesn't specifically mean experimental research, but that still requires looking at a variety of credible sources and knowing how to interpret what they're saying.
Probably not what you're going to find on tiktok.
