[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4662126, member: 63706"] You are talking about made up people who only exist in your head. No one "specializes" in science. But there are scientific principles that people who consider themselves scientists should adhere to. Science requires logic, and that is something the average person has no education in. Appeal to authority in and of itself is no basis for a public health strategy. Bias and poor logic are something scientists have to contend with to get a clearer picture of reality. Arguing from a conclusion is an illogical approach. Believing "experts" must be right always is illogical, especially when experts disagree. Double blind random controlled tests and experiments are the best tools we have for eliminating bias. All such tests that measure the efficacy of masks have shown insignificant evidence that masks slow the spread of respiratory illnesses. It's that simple. Any "expert" who recommends wearing masks is either unaware of the facts, believes they can't hurt so why not, or is simply trying to give the public what they want, or some combination of those, and possibly other things.
