Suppressed information - when it's ok to quote the experts and when it isn't.

The issue of doctor/expert advice vs. non-doctor/expert advice is a standing problem in this debate. We are ridiculed for advising against the vaccine because we are not doctors. But the majority of people forcing/pressuring/taunting people to get the vaccine aren't doctors either. Cuomo, Newsom others aren't doctors and they stand up and tell us we neeeeeeeeeeeed it.

Okay some will say, "Well governors, administrators have access to medical experts!" to which I respond, "And how did that work out for them? They forced sick Covid-19 patients into nursing homes - which of their medical experts insisted they do that?"

THEM: "Fauci! He's the Expert! He says EVERYONE has to stay locked down! "

ME: Welll, I found a video clip of him saying that asymptomatic spread, as a rule, does not drive epidemics.

45 Second Twitter Video Clip of Dr. Fauci Saying. ".... asympomatic spread is rare and historically not a driver of outbreaks. Symptomatic people drive outbreaks."

THEM: "Not that video clip, you idiot! You'll kill us all!  Ignore it unless we tell you to obey it!"

ME: Even Fauci doesn't think Covid-19 is that dangerous. He must have been informed that the CDC says Covid-19 has a 99.8% survival rate. If it was such a dangerous virus and there's no medical treatment for it, wouldn't he at least be careful to wear a mask out of consideration for others when the cameras are NOT on him?

THEM: "SHUT UP! HE'S AN EXPERT! HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING! WHATS YOUR POINT? ARE YOU ANTI-SCIENCE?!!"

This imbalance and slavery to undesrved qualifications and protection from the MSM makes even senseless advice seem to many to be "more reliable". The following meme is fairly old now, but was accurate at the time. I can only assume the PhD's and doctors and their complicit MSM airhead reporters who tell us what to think about the vaccine have caused an even greater disparity between the effects of "expert or MSM advice" and realit.

Hey, I thought 'journalists' were supposed to help the public be better informed!
