Ah the old "I checked with an expert" canard. Much like nutrition-chronic disease studies, for every expert in nutrition, there's an equal and opposite expert. Thread on the problems of expertise, because this (there's more upthread of tweet below, so read that too) 1/:https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1203604334165909504 …

I actually came on to suggest to Adele vaccination is what the thread was about. I think we all need to be careful to dig in a bit and find out the context. I suspect fewer would disagree if they knew the topic was anti-vax.pic.twitter.com/mSqfkYP1aX

I see your point. But I'm interested here in the topic of expertise. And, having sat through a number of *really* eye-opening presentations (in
#SciComm field) on the subject of vaccines & anti-vax sentiments, the closing of the thread still holds. - Show replies

It's not worthless. & I'm not sure my thread applies to anti-vaccine arguments (equal & opposite experts/science? I don't think so). I was more interested in the "Check with an expert" remark. My point : You'll get a different response depending on what expert you check with.

Will you? For every issue? What if I wanted to know the nutritional recommendations for people with stage 5 CKD? Or total parenteral nutrition?

I did make it clear - at the beginning of my thread - that my context was nutrition. I have run into overlap in pro-LCHF and anti-vaccine thinking, causing some really awkward moments in Q&A at conferences. But I've encountered plenty of "plant-based" anti-vaccine proponents.
