>These are some of the best scientists of all time. OF ALL TIME! How could you doubt them? It's not about that. Forget about the Nobel Prize, the guy still has 50+(!) or so years doing pharma research, plus he discovered Ivermectin, wouldn't you want to hear what he thinks about it? Arguments from authority are wrong, I know, but experts DO exist in any given field and you can't just dismiss what they're saying.

> experts DO exist in any given field and you can't just dismiss what they're saying Yes, ok, so isn't "parasitic infections" arguably a different field than coronaviruses? That's why I saw a parallel with Pauling and Newton. What am I missing? The fact is, I have no idea about the science. Right now I dismiss it because it seems like mobs of people pop up in recurring threads to promote this thing, as if orchestrated. Every few days or weeks it seems like there is a new thing that "they" (mainstream media or big tech) are trying to suppress. If it was being suppressed, I wouldn't feel like there was a firehose of it directed at me. And if the interest in it was organic and evidence based, then the discussions in one thread ought to cause the next thread to be different. But it seems like groundhog day - either people don't evolve their views, or there's an influx of new people.
