Liberal experts, and scientists, have no moral compass. Political self-serving expediency rules the day. Objectivity is a quaint concept. They cook the books to fit their agenda.

What happens is there is always disagreement among experts, so the politicians pick the experts who agree with them.

It only works if the media has your back, so it is nearly always a scheme which favors Progressives.

I grew up trusting science. Scientists went by the scientific method and respected it. Politics has, however,invaded EVERYTHING including science. I no longer respect ir even listen to “scientists”. All that education and their degrees don’t mean a damn thing to me.

Science is still Science. Unfortunately Politics is still Politics and when you mix the two Science suffers. Trust but verify is what former President once said.

Climate “science” experts, Environmental lobby experts, gender study experts, history experts (some), sociology experts, ambulance chasers experts, health experts ...
Unfortunately, science has been politicized more and more. Plus there are so many snake oil salesmen passing for experts! ALmost all “popular science”, even Scientific American (last I have checked, before canceling subscription) is corrupt. Almost anytime I read about some scientific discovery in nonscientific paper it is crap or half truth. Even scientific publications are quite often publishing crap. So sad!

This sort of thing happened to hockey. Once the do gooders (doctors and others) wanted minor hockey players to wear suits of armour and ban fighting and even bodychecking in many leagues, that basically gave the cheap shot artists and the careless the green light to continue their bad behaviour. This sort of thing reached the NHL to one extent or another some years back and the game is now that far more dangerous and violent and also stupid compared to what it was like in a year like 1960 or 1970 or even 1980.

“ That is your opinion, to which you are entitled to,” ____________ If you were just a bit less obtuse, you would already know that it’s a cold hard fact. A bit of a jest too, so, I don’t expect you to understand anytime soon. I meant to, as I usually do, remove you from the “to” column, because I know this all about you already. But, thanks for granting the grace of my own free thought, Kaslin. I’ll be forever indebted to you. 🤪

Globebull Warming “experts” gave these charlatans the belief that they could branch out to other things but wearing face diapers for the Wuhanic Plague while rioters are declared exempt has already begun to diminish the use of the word “expert” in the lexicon due to its label for “perpetrator of fraud”.

Just like an “expert” witness in a court trial. You can always find one who will say whatever they are paid to say.

Yep, politics first, “convenient science” second.

Isn’t interesting, though, that “experts” that are in line with the progressive agenda are invariably wrong? Which might explain why the progressive agenda is such a failure.
