“When you know more than the doctors who’ve spent their entire careers studying infectious diseases, it’s time for a Dunning-Kruger.”
I wish there were a requirement for inventors of internet memes to sign their work. Who gets credit for this whisky advertising mashup?
Now there’s a video ad, from Dr. Rohin Francis.

Retired teacher of law, economics, history, AP government, psychology and science. Former speechwriter, press guy and legislative aide in U.S. Senate. Former Department of Education. Former airline real estate, telecom towers, Big 6 (that old!) consultant. Lab and field research in air pollution control. My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

Love this advert and come back to it every few months. I am a retired Public Health Doctor and the science around Covid is incredibly complex and the answers to some questions change almost daily as new strains emerge and the prevalence of the illness varies.

But I am curious. I said nothing specific to science in the post. What did you think I was saying about science, and where did you get that idea that I said it?

Give me the award when you prove my simple statement to be in error. I have not disagreed with the scientific experts, only with the idea that questioning science, even by other scientists, is stupid.
