I would change #1 to be “speak loudest to your expertise” I think valuable insight can be gained when other spheres of intellect & schools of thought are brought to bear on the problem.

Can't solve the problem unless you learn to successfully integrate several fields of knowledge. This is why response to the pandemic has been mediocre, and we keep seeing inadequate responses based on poor interpretation of what goes on. We definitely aren't ready for biowarfare.

Remind your audience WHO was wrong when it said masks didn't help the general population, then set up flawed hydroxycholoroquine trials which it cancelled, basing itself on a fraudulent Lancet paper, so flawed it was retracted a week after publication.

Excellent, far to many hugging the Twitter limelight rather than engaging in two way reasoned scientific debate.

I also think scientists should refrain from telling non-scientists that they are incapable of making an informed decision on the moral legitimacy of lockdowns. You don’t have to be a scientist to see that shuttering society has tremendous human costs.

Great point. The corollary to this is that the scientist is no more qualified to comment on the moral legitimacy of lockdowns than is any other person. An epidemiologist is an authority on disease spread and containment, but holds no special expertise on larger societal factors.
