Where your doctor friends virologists? Doctors are some of the worst people to ask, in my opinion, about what to do if they do not have subject expertise. They have just enough knowledge to speak authoritatively and not nearly enough subject expertise to really know what they're talking about. The old adage that doctors are the worst patients, I think, rings true.

I get your point -- and I especially agree with that statement w/r/t nutrition. One owns a clinic and works primarily with terminal cancer patients. The other works in an ER.

So we can trust some experts, but not others? We're getting into a dangerous situation where some experts are blessed and others are not: https://battlepenguin.com/politics/secondary-effects/#ministry-of-truth https://battlepenguin.com/politics/secondary-effects/#minist... We are no longer having real honest debates where we talk about all the evidence. Most of the studies can't even be replicated due to the dangerous nature of containing a virus and the limited labs and universities equipped to handle that research. You combined that with the massive political influences of Gavi, the Gates Foundation and others, and we're looking directly in the face of a Orwellian Ministry or Truth. Texas is talking to other experts (https://www.westernjournal.com/texas-lt-governor-goes-off-fauci-wrong-every-time-every-issue/amp/ https://www.westernjournal.com/texas-lt-governor-goes-off-fa...) and you can be sure that, since they're a red state, they'll be slammed for not taking the official dose of science from the US federal government, where Colorado can have the same numbers and no one will blame them since they're blue. Very little of this virus is about "experts" as much as it is about politics. That's the fucked up part.

  The answer is yes. Being an "expert" in one field does not make an expert in another. Knowing how to perform brain surgery does not make you an authority on vaccines. This should be obvious.

    In the case of Karol Sikora, he is an expert who even spent 2 years working as a director at the WHO. Yet whenever anyone posts anything about him, it's met with immediately criticism, either ignoring his WHO work, stating he's 'only' an ecologist, his exaggeration on his connections to the Imperial College .. but none of those criticisms invalidate his expertise or the fact that he was hired by the WHO and had experience directly in infectious diseases. Oddly enough, people will immediately attack his character and background, but they won't bring up his involvement in Lockerbie.
