I wasn't clear. Most of the time, as with prostrate screenings, one of the following is true:
- There is no expert consensus (on treatments, etiology, etc.).
- Consensus exists, but the level of consensus is overstated.
- There is broad consensus, but with relatively low confidence.
A generalized public health threat like a pandemic doesn't change the epistemological calculus, nor the sociology of knowledge.
