“The “Rogue” episode alone is enough to justify a one star. Experts who state “I know the truth” on complex rapidly evolving medical situations should be exposed as the problem. Anyone who disagreed with them is a problem. Only the “experts” have a right to speak up. Those of you who are not in our club, just be quiet.
So many of the “truths” once advanced as “settled science” and unassailable are now being re-visited as potentially wrong just like hundreds of medical “truths” that had to be corrected after decades of damage to the public. Those were “truths” imposed on us by medical professional. Everything in medicine is or should be open for discussion and debate.
These two so-called academics rail against ad hominem attacks but never miss an opportunity to attach pejorative adjectives (“right wing”) to those who disagree.
The problem isn’t the perspective of these two—they have a right to be heard….it’s their not so subtle expectation that censorship THEY get to define is needed and justified. They couch it it terms of civility but that misses the fundamental point that they want to stop opposing views.
What justifies this? “We need to protect the reputations of our institutions” and ban what they call intellectual arrogance. Nothing related to Covid rises to the level of certainty of gravity. Stop it.
Freedom of expression can be messy and uncomfortable but Id rather that than the alternative of letting these “learned men” decide for all of us what is mis/dis information requiring the censorship or ridicule they get to impose.”
