The death of trust in "Experts"

Stuff like this caused it.
We're running out of conspiracy theories. Because so many are turning out to be true. The Experts are exposed as an emperor with no clothes.

And I just saw an article on Yahoo stating that so many are suffering from "long covid".

Over 3 years ago on here I stated that you would see an uptick in government disability claims over the mind frick that was Covid. And that the medical establishment would wholeheartedly endorse these claims as a way to cover their asses as opposed to a real medical diagnosis.
quote:
Can long COVID be a disability under the ADA, Section 504, and Section 1557? Yes, long COVID can be a disability under the ADA, Section 504, and Section 1557 if it substantially limits one or more major life activities….such as caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, working or sleeping.

To be entirely honest, when I had a particularly nasty case of Covid that put me in a hospital back in 2021, it took months before I was back to 100%. The disease absolutely ravaged my lungs. I was still dealing with brain fog and serious fatigue for 3 or 4 months after the fact. I eventually got over it, but I couldn't really work effectively full time until I'd recovered my strength.

This happens everyday to people when they get the flu, pneumonia, respiratory infections, etc. Covid doesn’t have monopoly on illnesses escalating into serious side effects.

You can tell an experts credibility by how faded the background is on their Zoom settings

And “long Covid” is just a lazy, fear porn catch phrase for legitimate residual effects for a variety of viruses and diseases.
KingBob, I feel for you, I truly do, I had the OG strain of Covid in ‘20 and as a result was diagnosed with bilateral pneumonia. Of course, it wasn’t supposedly in Mo. at the time, which turned out to be total BS.
I know this because there were dozens upon dozens of patients being seen at the local urgent cares and ER’s with a particularly bad URV. Turns out the local university(MU) did a review of all those cases and asked those patients to volunteer for a blood draw and evidence of Covid antibodies, as they were desperately seeking volunteers for convalescent plasma. As a result, I was branded a “conspiracy theorist” even though I had stone cold medical records and you know, I actually lived it.
Clown World.

Only slightly off-topic, but when I was working for a major corporation, top management was always bringing in "experts' and "consultants" who generally had their heads up their asses and who had no real idea as to what we were doing. Us in middle management had to sit through many hours listening to the drivel from those expensive outsiders.

I still trust experts. I don’t trust a person is an expert unless I can verify it.

Yeah, I think the death of trust in expertise is somewhat overblown. There's been a proliferation of counter-experts to those in the traditional knowledge-generating institutions. A thousand flowers are blooming in the contrarian spaces and people turn to them as authorities in mostly usual ways.
Now as to the comparable quality of the expertise and how well laypeople can sort the competence of experts...

Journalists are extremely lazy and prone to lying. So, instead of doing research they just write about their opinion on a subject and use 'experts say' as the unnamed source.

IMO,scientists in the medical,food and climate realm are nothing but a bunch of “whores”,just like politicians,they can be bought.

An expert is some guy from out of town

Now stop trusting the faulty psuedoscience proofs of a new deadly pathogen lest you be reeled back in on demand.

The organizations in medicine, food and climate, etc. are not run by experts in those specific fields. They are bureaucrats usually with a background in law. Their job is not to research and discover. It's to sell conclusions that their bosses have already reached.

"Experts" are nothing more than people with briefcases at least 50 miles from home.
