"fairly robust intra-expert disagreement on the right answer to many key questions (unsurprising given the moment)" Is it though? Was there ever a time without this intra-expert disagreement? Also, often intra-expert disagreement is much less than it appears.

I am SO sympathetic to the situation you describe and in which you find yourself! Old enough to recall early HIV hysteria and demonization of Fauci, etc. Surely some sociology of science in there with the panic psychology !

I'm always wary of 1.HUBRISTIC experts who 2.OVERCLAIM while 3. SUPPRESSING CONTRARIAN VOICES thru ridicule, character assassination, or actual attempts to censor. Also experts who insert politics into the science side. I gravitate toward epistemic humility for complex issues.
