The fact that the weather forecast is sometimes wrong doesn't mean you should listen to your best friend about whether to pack an umbrella. Demanding that experts be right all the time is unrealistic. And damning all experts because some used their authority to lie is sub-optimal.


Then perhaps those “experts” shouldn’t be making broad, far reaching, incredibly costly public policy? Especially ones as incredibly destructive as what was enacted for covid.

All the crap these “experts” pushed was the exact opposite of what was in tons of different pandemic plans. It was all unproven and untested. Making us all in unconsenting research subjects.
