So I think you might be misunderstanding my point a bit.
Scientists and Doctors should be talking about it in scientific forums and communities. Politicians should be reiterating the 'current consensus'.
People shouldn't be talking about it in public / tabloid forums because the information is vague, misrepresented and will be taken entirely out of context.
I totally support people taking contrarian positions.
I think we should probably assign people towards being 'The Devil's Advocate'.
The issue is not 'freedom of expression and open dialogue' - it's one of 'crude populism and misinformation'.
It's about how information is propagated, and how people react to it.
