I'm not sure what you mean by "intellectual elites" here. Currently, the technorati is terrible about paying attention to the evidence. Or rather, specialists each pay attention to their own specialty, and assume it's the only one that's important.
That's how we got to this situation where the epidemiologists are recommending handling the pandemic by destroying the economy, and the economists are recommending to preserve the economy by letting old people die.
