I’ve know quite a few MDs. They are not exactly physicists. And, they very probably do not do detailed statistical analysis of health trends - and I KNOW those health trends to not even come close to sully analyzing all variables.
As such, I’d trust a physician very very slightly more than I’d trust a journalist for my climate information.
As for NPR, well, they are NPR precisely because they are NOT scientists.
Oops, “fully”, not “sully”.
And, I should have added fake “I am there” sounds to my reply so that I could compete with the simpleton NPR jokers.
