“You claim authority you don’t actually have.” I didn’t claim any authority. I simply asked you a question: “Where did you get your medical education?” You didn’t answer. But bizarrely, you pretended that you did, like William Macy’s character in Fargo! It’s actually pretty amusing, apparently you thought no one would notice. Weird. |
You lack the moral authority to require those you question to prove they have credentials they don't need in order to express an opinion.
I pointed out your criteria are invalid. That is my answer. Why would I labor to live up to your irrelevant criteria?
How is this hard for you to understand? You aren't 'above it all' determining who among us is qualified to state an opinion and cite data. You aren't entitled to make up criteria by which others must be judged.
I cited material intended for public consumption that makes you uncomfortable. You respond by pretending I am misrepresenting my qualifications and speaking 'above my pay grade'.
Get over yourself. You fail in every respect to make your case that somehow consumer information is not to be opined upon unless one has medical training. I can have an opinon - try to cope with that fact. To console yourself, read the mandate that required the CDC to set up VAERS, and then read the information regarding drug warnings and side effects I provided, noting as you do that I pulled information from the "Consumer" section, and not the physician section.
Or don't. But don't expect me to cave to your misdirection and pointless criteria.
So are you keeping your education secret?
Either answer the question or don’t. No one is forcing you to answer.
You don’t even have to write an essay on the question of “moral authority”. Just refuse to answer or plead the 5th or something. People can draw their own conclusion.
