Lack of immunity does not mean you cannot become resistant to it. Like with all things education will free you. It's just a matter of finding enough of it and from the right sources

This implies I have to put effort in. I'll just write this comment off as propaganda and pat myself on the back for a job well done combating BS for the weak minded sheep. - Most of society

In my experience most people are more than happy to have a conversation about things. It's more about it being on their terms so they can find the information approachable

I agree. And on a more serious note, I think it all stems from the fact that people don't like being confronted about their identity. And oftentimes people will hold onto beliefs so hard that they become part of their identity. Look at many flat-eathers, it's not a belief they have, it's who they are, they are a flat-eather, and when you try to attack or question someone's identity they react very defensively. So showing a flat-eather that there is evidence disproving their belief, then they either must reject it or question their identity. And rejecting it is always much easier. Which can make those convos extremely hard.
