False dichotomy. Not only are there more than two options, looking to economists among others without medical training on epidemiological matters as though they should have equal standing is asinine. Dunning-Kruger applies here. As said before, might as well ask Mike Pence whether bloom filters are an effective relational database indexing strategy.
"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”"
– Isaac Asimov
