Biden's failing global Covid-19 response

I think you mean "a simple statement of what I believe to be the truth." When you can demonstrate that it is true, you may remove the italicized phrase.

You see, there is a world plurality (about 68.35%) who DO NOT BELIEVE anything like what you do. And you can't demonstrate that they are wrong, either.

Evidently you are not considering something. People don't have to believe what can be, and has been demonstrated. In fact, people oftentimes don't.
No one can make another accept anything.

You are correct, I can't make anybody believe what they have no wish to believe.

But I might point out that this is quite often a real problem for those who do refuse to believe what has been demonstrated. As I've said before, not believing in gravity can have quite grave (I use the double entendre deliberately) consequences.

Aligning your beliefs to what is likely (on the evidence) to be true can be very useful, and the contrary can be quite damaging. Yet, there are millions of Americans who are unwilling to believe the careful science done by incredibly well-qualified people on vaccines, but are ready to buy in to a conspiracy theory on the web -- or a dubious drug or treatment, never really tested properly -- without a moment's hesitation.

So long as you understand.
