My overarching point here is that the experts failed to apply their expertise when it was most needed, while the "tech guys", most who lacked formal training in epidemiology, were the ones warning us of the immense risk we faced.

The overarching point is that the experts haven't "failed." They are at the front lines literally putting their lives on the line for us. They have warned us and they are dying to protect us. You should be giving them your thanks and not accusing them of failure.

DCP (Never Go Outside Again or You’ll Die) @PurpleBaptistWhen the global Wuhanification crisis passes—and it will—we need a reckoning. What helped? What made things worse? Let’s consider the role of “experts” like Dr Rasmussen, a virologist at Columbia. 1/n pic.twitter.com/jaa34o6ASlShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

That was a single anecdote. But the belief that experts and authorities have let the public down is shared by a fairly broad group of people. Even the editor of Vox is voicing it. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1241678325136982016 …

I could provide many more anecdotes since there has been so much extremely dangerous misinformation put out by people in positions of power. For example, the "Chair of the New York City Council Health Committee". https://twitter.com/Aelkus/status/1241843673006030848 …

It is clear to anybody reading this conversation that no amount of evidence will convince you that you are wrong. I suggest you take a few days to think about why that is.https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1217043229427761152 …

The world doesn't exist in a vacuum. Situations evolve, and posting information out of context and gish gallop is meaningless. Doctors and scientists are working around the clock to fight this pandemic. The experts haven't failed, no matter how many anecdotes you choose to spam
