Your points are valid and you state the challenge regarding experts exactly. Namely, "The problem is where you get your information from experts and how much credence you give the experts." When I say "expert" and you say "expert" it's very possible we may have two completely different people...

Forgive my sarcasm above. It's just that I get frustrated by the misinformation and what sometimes seems to be intentional ignorance demonstrated on social media and in face to face conversations I have with various people. As with cancer, heart disease, AIDS, the flu and other illnesses, there...

That's not a regimen I would prescribe for COVID-19, but I think the case can be made that it would be at least as effective as some of the solutions you seem keen on.

Well, since you put it that way, why use just one backup regimen? Since we're covering as many bases as we can, lets run several regimens. Penicillin is a long-used drug that is not harmful. Maybe we should combine a shot of two of that with a anti-malaria injection (also approved for human use...

So What? There is always someone recommending something or other. But so what?

The dictionary.com definition of quack works for me: "noun. a fraudulent or ignorant pretender to medical skill. a person who pretends, professionally or publicly, to skill, knowledge, or qualifications he or she does not possess; a charlatan. adjective. being a quack: a quack psychologist who...

Certain COVID-19 vaccines and monoclonal antibody treatments help with COVID-19. The companies that developed the vaccines and treatments now widely used in the U.S. are listed below. Presumably, the people who own these companies (the shareholders) own the vaccines and treatments. Vaccine...

That's true. The danger from ivermectin and the thing that is sending people to poison control centers is they don't know what you know about this drug. They don't understand the dosage difference for humans and horses. They don't understand that the other stuff that is in ivermectin medicine...

Correct, but people's responses to the virus are both political and social. Thus the political and social COVID-19 issues. Agreed Agreed

Credibility is in the eye of the beholder. I find it helpful to recognize that COVID-19 is a medical issue, social issue and political issue. And I find it helpful to note that just because someone has letters after one's name, or has a big name, he or she in not necessarily a bona fide expert...

I notice you do not have letters after your name. Does that make you the real expert? Does that make you the one to whom people should turn to learn the real truth about COVID-19? A few months ago, I was at a car dealership service counter and an unmasked, loud-talking customer there said she...

That's true. It's also true that tobacco and alcohol shortens millions of lives and degrades the quaility of life for millions more. For every George Burns story, there are thousands if not millions of other stories involving suffering and early death.

Because it affects our business, I check FL COVID-19 numbers almost every day. No media outlet is needed to do that. Simply go directly to the sources that originate the data; the same sources the media goes to when they see fit to do a COVID-19 story. While "dropping like a rock" is a good...

Recent (Sept.) information about FL nursing home deaths and COVID-19 Florida continues to rank first in the nation in nursing home deaths

Is there such a person on earth or in the history of science? A link to an article that introduces the scientific method is below. Notice that the advancement of science or scientific knowledge begins with a question and scientists are human beings. Therefore human beings begin the process. I...

So the only experts you'd support are those who share and have the courage to espouse your political view? You talk of following the science. Where the scientists do not agree, whose science do you follow? Also, when you say "follow the science", what does that mean exactly? What is it exactly...

Just like champion baseball players like Babe Ruth misses more than he hits, experts are wrong more than they are right. Science is not advanced by knowing the truth in advance. It is advanced by experimentation which shows what does not work more often than it shows what does. It frustrates...

I'm not disputing that liquor stores generate tax dollars. That's obvious. But I do not believe states kept them open for tax reasons alone or even primarily. If it was about every nickel, they would have kept all businesses open. But it was not about every nickel. To me, the shutdowns seem...

Interesting. So far, the only other news organizations reporting this cite the Epoch Times as the source. It would be a big story if true. Waiting to see if this is confirmed by others.
