COVID Stupid

[Roller]

That's what happens when you simply tell people "shut up, you're stupid" and don't allow any legitimate discussion.

To what legitimate discussion are you referring? You mean like when people like Rand Paul, who has no understanding of the medical or biological issues, questioned Anthony Fauci, or maybe doing what America's Frontline Doctors were proposing? Consideration of the pros and cons of vaccination and other measures is always appropriate, especially during a public health crisis, but that doesn't mean buying in to every disproven fringe theory.

I know you aren't anti-vax, but I also believe you favor letting people decide for themselves. Guess what? I do too. I'm required to review the concepts that apply to self-determination in medical care and research annually. But although I don't think people should be forced to be vaccinated against their will, neither should they be permitted to put others at risk by their choice.

But a *legitimate discussion* needs to be had by degreed medical professionals (epidemiologists, virologists, immunologists, etc) with decades of experience. Drs. Larry Brilliant, Anthony Fauci, Deborah Birx, etc come to mind. RFK and conservative talk show talking heads don't cut it.

They want pundits with an opinion to have the same weight as actual specialists who have spent their entire lives studying and practicing in this exact field, and if they don't allow it you're labeled as "woke". It's utterly ridiculous.

If wonder if they'd be OK with having an appendectomy performed by someone (a member of Congress, perhaps) who's only read a lot of books on the subject?
