Once again: “trust the experts” doesn’t mean that *no one* questions scientific consensus, it means that *experts* build and debate and question consensus. People without the domain expertise (and society more broadly) are best served by aligning with that consensus if the process isn’t undermined.

I find it amusing that they're all about the amateur epidemiologists but not amateur surgeons.. "what do you mean you don't want this guy to take out your appendix, he's done his own research, and he's been on a lot of podcasts"

Yep, there isn't one member of the Republican party leadership that's going to go to RFK, Jr. for medical advice let alone hand him a scalpel. Insanity.
