not sure whi said this

Society doesn't change when new ideas are brought up, Society changes when old people die.

It was fucking Max Plank!!!

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it ...

Close enough

At what age do people catch conservatism? Is there a vaccine?

Generally the age when they start to feel overwhelming fear of change and the unfamiliar. Exposure therapy is probably the best cure.

Different for each person. Very early if indoctrinated, like religion or peer culture. Some catch it when they transition to working life or overall success and catch the I got mine disease. I'd say it grows fairly early, teens at the latest, and solidifies early 20s. The I got mine crowd can happen late, like 30-40.
