This seems totally uncalled for. Besides having a degree in Public Health, among others, he’s a cancer survivor. I’d say he knows a lot about diseases.
Like it or not, to say his warning about Covid-19 three years ago was prescient is an understatement.
Based on his bio, he seems more than credible:
Dr. Feigl-Ding graduated from The Johns Hopkins University with Honors in Public Health and Phi Beta Kappa. He then completed his dual doctorate in epidemiology and his doctorate in nutrition, separately, as the youngest graduate to complete his double doctoral programs at age 23 from Harvard SPH. Next, concurrently with his postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard, he studied medicine at Boston University School of Medicine for several years, until he left BUSM to become faculty at Harvard Medical School. Teaching at Harvard for over 15 years, he has advised and mentored two dozen students and lectured in more than a dozen graduate and undergraduate courses, for which he received the Derek Bok Distinction in Teaching Award from Harvard College.

Their predictions and recommendations were just so systematically atrocious and exaggerated. > he’s a cancer survivor. I’d say he knows a lot about diseases. That's a non sequitur if there ever was one. Having had cancer grants no expertise in understanding the macro behavior of respiratory viruses. > Based on his bio, he seems more than credible Credibility comes from accurate predictions that other people could not have made, not empty credentialism.
