A video shows a Texas doctor, who has been treating children in a measles outbreak, with a measles rash on his face in a clinic while caring for patients a week before he met with Health Secretary Robert F.
I’m non-US and work at a university. Some of the academics I can’t imagine surviving in the real world. The only way I can explain it is they get a PhD and then the Dunning-Kruger effect applies to everything, but they don’t evolve on it. And they’re weirdly incredibly gullable—like, in their 30s and vulnerable to scams and misinformation your grandma would immediately pick up on. You get concerned for what else they may be teaching students because kids fresh out of high school often trust adults and these adults put off an identity of being experts.
You want to say to them, “If it’s not about phylogenetics, don’t listen to a single fucking thing this person says no matter how confident they sound.”
