who am i gonna trust... an apolitical expert immunologist or a politically motivated optometrist?
A difficult decision
I’ve had about enough with libertarians and their shytty ass takes. They think their ideology makes them and outside the box thinker. I know this dude I went to high school that would put all his libertarian ideology all over instagram, shytting in the science, downplaying the deaths that I had to delete him for his bullshyt. Dumb ass

Rand is right, we should be asking roofers & valet drivers how to handle the pandemic, we can’t really trust that the experts know best

They should take away his medical license away from him, and make him suffer.

It's crazy that a huge % of conservatives will actually think LESS of someone's opinion if they find out they're an expert in the field in question.
Certain coli posters pull this shyt too, using the "nerd!" taunt as if studying a subject is a negative.
For conservatives it probably isn't surprising since they were probably going to get their degrees either way, and never had to work for stuff like that, so they assume everyone had their experience.

Rand Paul’s Coronavirus Fix: ‘We Just Need More Optimism’
During a tense exchange on Capitol Hill, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Tuesday blasted the nation’s top public health experts for their lack of optimism during the unprecedented, highly lethal, and surging coronavirus pandemic.
“We need to not be so presumptuous that we know everything,” the Kentucky Republican said during an impassioned plea to the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions about the need for schools to reopen. He went on to call America’s public health community “fatally” arrogant.
“Perhaps our planners might think twice before they weigh in on every subject,” Paul added. “Perhaps our government experts might hold their tongue before expressing their opinion.”
Paul specifically berated Dr. Anthony Fauci—the public face of the White House’s coronavirus response and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases—for his recent statements on spectator sports, herd immunity, and other subjects. Though Fauci had couched his words in caveats, he said that “it would be very hard to see how football is able to be played this fall” and that, even with a working vaccine, herd immunity might be difficult to accomplish if Americans aren’t willing to take it.
But Paul said such statements have caused “undue fear” in pockets of the country and cautioned the public not to trust the words of top infectious disease professionals in the country, saying: “We shouldn’t presume that a group of experts somehow knows what’s best for everyone.”
“We just need more optimism,” Paul added.
In response, Fauci told the committee that his words often get twisted in the media and that, “I feel very strongly we need to do whatever we can to get the children back to school.”
But minutes later, he also said that the country could begin seeing 100,000 new cases a day “if things don’t turn around,” telling the committee: “It could get very bad.”
My only take away from this is that its too bad Rand Paul’s neighbor didn’t finish the job.
