The only problem with the argument of highly educated expert is that after COVID, that is a dubious claim. Many so called professionals in the medical community were just doing what they were told by a small minority. And several people, who were not just some nutjobs but actually respected medical professionals, were ignored, shunned, or canceled. And that was simply due to the fact that they offered alternatives and weren't promoting the "approved" messaging.

I, like jdubya suggested, am skeptical of the experts now. That doesn't mean that I am anti vax, by any means (just got shingles vaccine 1.5 years ago). But I feel like I did learn from that experience how manipulative people in positions of power can be and how much they are willing to wield said power.
That's what I feel COVID was about. Not that I am into conspiracy theories like plandemic or whatnot. It was real, but it was also used to manipulate societies.

And frankly, even those that are medical experts didn't bother to account for the effects of shutting down society. And why should they? That's not their expertise. But they should have.

I am currently reading Diary of a Psychosis: How Public Health Disgraced Itself During Covid Mania by Thomas E Woods Jr and The Libertarian Institute. It's a good read and helps to put things in perspective. Check it out. Or don't and continue to not see things. I don't care.
