The idea that experts shouldn't be trusted only extends to experts that are seen as "elite" (which is a very particular set of people). I think most people who doubt the government or medical experts have no problem relying on the expertise of plumbers, mechanics, hairdressers, construction workers and so on. That shows you that it's not about expertise or even safety (since electricians and mechanics need to keep you safe). I've never been called a sheep for taking my car to a mechanic when it started banging.
Unfortunately this is part of the culture war now, and therefore it's not really about logic anymore. Until we can learn to trust each other more, we're stuck with this.
