David Leonhardt is ~15 years younger than Friedman and Brooks. They are dipshit generalists and he's just a dipshit covid specialist but I do believe he could come into his own in the very near future.

    I get where you're coming from, but the way this take is worded always rubs me the wrong way because it's exactly the same as foreign policy ghouls who spout off shit about how "wow, everyone is suddenly an expert about {COUNTRY WE WANT TO INVADE} whenever people call out the blatant bullshit and consent manufacturing. "SCIENCE" works the same way, especially considering that people who claim to be "experts" in the media are more like entertainers than people who do research.

      Agree. But when we talking about expert, we talked about science community from multiple country that agree on set of concrete data that have mask is good, vaccine is good, getting virus run wild is not good. Not those expert that paid by Lockheed Martin that present fake ass data
