"You're not qualified to have an opinion" is just an appeal to authority. Common logical fallacy.

Non-experts can be right about something while experts are simultaneously wrong about the same issue. That can happen. That's why you shouldn't just defer to experts without any other avenue of ascertaining what is true.

Experts are *more likely* to be right. Laymen are *more likely* to be wrong. That doesn't mean experts are always right, or that laymen are always wrong.

And with our current situation, it is made even more confused by the fact that *other* experts who contradict the arbitrarily chosen KING expert (Fauci) are literally banned from the public square. Like it or not, 99% of people get their information from either facebook, youtube or twitter.

Dissenting personalities when it comes to covid are being completely blacklisted by these groups, regardless of their credentials (doctors from literally johns hopkins and oxford, for instance). You are merely pretending to care about expertise if you're actually an activist working at facebook deciding that somebody far more credentialed than yourself on a topic should be silenced. This is a recipe for disaster. I fear for anyone who doesn't find anything disturbing about this.

You need to re-take logic. This is not the opinion of a single expert with no other evidence. This is the concensus of experts.

A single expert can be wrong over a single layman. If the consensus among experts differ form the consensus of laymen, the laymen are wrong...

The one expert you saw on an OAN video doesn't mean there isn't a consensus.

Well my friend killed himself out of utter despair... and he had a wife and four children to provide for. But he doesn't count.

Cut out the bit that DOES NOT COUNT.
Your friend is a Selfish cunt.

Probably wasn’t a true story but rather to prove a point about suicide completions going up during the lockdowns, but hey, never miss an opportunity to show people what an edgelord you are

[Duik]

Ok. That fictitious man did a bang up job looking after his fictitious wife and 4 fictitious children.
Better? I dont believe so, jut whatever makes non edgelords (whatever they are) happy.
Ps. Still a selfish vagina.

So basically the experts are wrong, king expert Fauci is wrong, and laymen on social media are right.

Endless appeals to perceived authority

Fauci is a politician. Nothing more.

Fauci has a medical degree, training in immunology, and 40+ years of experience in the field. He was appointed by a Republican president in 1984.

You're a Trumptard, nothing more.

An edgelord means someone trying to seem tough or edgy on the internet, usually by saying provocative or controversial things

I’ll use it in a sentence

“Suicide victims are vaginas” said the edgelord while everyone else cringed or laughed to themselves at him

Now you know
