Trusting the experts

I think Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx are highly respected experts in their fields, but they are not experts in all fields. The are not mental health professionals, they are not agronomists, they are not bankers, they are not sociologists, educators or restaurant owners. They are not librarians, theologians, mathematicians, economists or plumbers. They are not airplane pilots, auto salesmen, butchers, bakers or candlestick makers. They have a tiny piece of safety and health information, but there are many others to be consulted. Their knowledge may have saved a few thousand lives and a few big hospitals in a selected group of metropolitan areas, but they have also ruined others and are producing and directing a horror movie of deaths and illnesses to be released soon.
