      Ah yes, random twitter person, please do lecture me, an epidemiologist who has written papers on the social determinants of health, how bad lockdowns are for disadvantaged people Obviously something I'd never considered before 🙄🙄

      It has pained me to witness the 2 versions of credentialism 1. I'm right b/c I have credential (X) 2. You are wrong/ not allowed to have a view because you lack credential (Y) These are used instead of arguing the point It is tiresome & weak Stef is right https://twitter.com/sdbaral/status/1342997025063923713 …

      Credentials don't make you right, but blathering on about things that I'm credentialled in to me is a bit tiresome nevertheless

          Then log off or are you going to continue to casually dismiss the harms of lockdowns?

          Being an epidemiologist does not make you “credentialed” in public health policy, and the wide ranging inputs and outputs that must be considered when making such policy. There is a reason that we do not wish to live under a technocracy - it would be terrible.

          It’s a technique used to stifle rather than encourage discourse.

          The biggest differences I’ve noticed in these groups is interest in learning. The credentialed often want to hear different views and expand knowledge. Then there’s those who assert their (unresearched) opinions as fact.

          I think you might need a course in critical thinking. If such a skill can be taught. The epidemiologists who are the heros of this pandemic are not afraid to think outside the box. You seem to just regurgitate other like-minded peoples tweets and thoughts.
