I think there needs to be more clarity and responsibility with whom they label an expert. MSNBC called Gottlieb an expert, without clarifying that he was on the board of Pfizer. Fauci, a doctor without patients, is not an experienced doctor. At best, he was a researcher, paid by Big Pharma, with a history of questionable medical ethics. They need to start disclosing the backgrounds of their so-called experts, or face serious consequences. Moreover, whatever happened to conflicts of interest? That Gottlieb was formerly a member of the FDA, before he was purchased by Pfizer, which has a history of FDA violations (not to mention Nuremberg Code violations) should have been red-flagged as a conflict of interest. There should be no crossover employees allowed between Big Pharma reps and gov't health advisors. Paid goons are not experts. Besides, coming from colleges nowadays that cannot even define biological genders, how qualified are these so-called frankenscientists?
I used to do training for retail stores. Would be in front of 50 people and pick one to come up front, they never pushed back. Would ask them to do something they'd never consider doing if a stranger asked them and they'd do it. We called it "The Guy in the Front of the Room" (TGITFOTR) effect. Authority figure, you accept what they say unconditionally. It's no different than the majority of us agreeing with the Patriot Act when it was first proposed never considering most of it was 100% anti-Constitutional if we even tried to read it at all. But, TGITFOTR proposed it so we said OK.

TGITFOTR. Very interesting experiment. Like the elevator experiment. A sad observation of society.
