An important thread on expertise— but would also add that we have many *silos of expertise*, w/ fewer people who are able to orchestrate a coordinated effort that leverages the right expertise for the right problem to create and implement an actual epidemic *response* https://t.co/X0phB9pqWU

The experts, as a group, needed to fight for and earn public trust; that's not what happened in this pandemic. I say this with enormous respect to many *individual* experts who are doing excellent work *and* fighting so hard, doing media, social media, etc. But that's not enough.

The public cannot individually pick between experts making absolutely opposite claims who often have similar credentials. That's why we needed CDC and WHO to do a stellar job, to lead. Alas. A pandemic is a communication emergency. I wish it were as easy as "trust the experts."

Trust the experts, when expertise, according to the definition in the original thread, has nothing at all to do with actually knowing things? (Not even mentioning knowing *better*)

To clarify: I don't mind actual expertise. Just absurd definitions of expertise
