I’m not and neither are most FReepers. What’s your point?
Do you believe things based on the education of the person talking to you? If so you’ll be a very strong vaccine proponent because in the scientific/academic community the debate is 98% to 2% pro-vax.
Do you want to compare qualifications of the people publishing about Covid? Or just find a few fringe outliers and try to claim some sort of authority?
Keeping in mind science isn’t done by consensus, history has shown repeatedly it’s the outliers, not the “mainstream” who prove correct most often.
So not being a specialist means you most likely selectively edit whatever you read through your own specialty (or not) education and biases, coming to conclusions, as you seem to make clear in this very statement, according to the preponderance of opinions.
FREEREPUBLIC readers should know that most media is agenda-driven, that St. Anthony Fauci is a malign thug more often wrong than correct, and those opposing him have lost jobs, lost their public expert opinion voices in the public square through silencing, canceling, or simply ignoring their learned opinions and scientific conclusions.
I was mainly curious as to whether your opining bore any weight at all, or was just mewling of yet another opinionated yahoo.
Other than that, deponent sayeth not.
