I don't care about his credentials but as u/Death_Metal_Patriot stated, his statement could be used to poison the well. People are passing this around like it's gospel from the FDA themselves when in fact he was just one of many speakers that got a mere 3 minutes to present their case. Many here were lead to believe he was FDA when he doesn't even have a background in medicine. People need to know this.
Everything needs to be taken with a million grains of salt. Always. From everyone. The point I was getting at was you making a point of fact regarding him not being a doctor and that detail being the core reasoning behind your grain of salt comment is unfounded. He was reporting data sets that requires basic common sense, basic logic and 2nd grade math. He wasn't diagnosing a biopsy of a lung. So saying his data was potentially less reputable because he doesn't hold a doctorate is a fallacy. Nothing more.
