Who's calling them stupid? I don't recall any politicians or government health officials calling anyone stupid. Sure, there are people on Facebook/Twitter/etc... name-calling, but that's always been the case, and there's plenty of it on both sides.

If someone is telling you to do something, but demonstrates clearly they are not able to repeat your own argument back to you convincingly, they're calling you stupid, because they've demonstrated they don't think you have an argument.
