There is no such thing as a public health expert

April 1, 2021 (The Dossier) — Since the beginning of COVID Mania, we’ve been
told to “listen to the public health experts.” Governments and the corporate
media has identified this category to us as individuals (Dr. Fauci, Rachel
Levine, Tedros Adhanom, Bill Gates) and groups (CDC, WHO, Gates Foundation,
Imperial College, etc) that are supposedly the best resources out there for
dealing with pandemics and disease spread. Want to know about how to deal
with COVID-19? Follow orders from the omniscient public health experts, we’re
told.

Well, we’re now over a year into this thing, the free world is in shambles,
and virtually everything recommended by these supposed world-class experts
has resulted in complete chaos and devastation.

The “public health experts” told us that lockdowns were the key to our
salvation. When that didn’t work, they did the same thing with masks,
curfews, physical distancing, and the like. They had it all figured out,
until they didn’t, and destroyed tens of millions of lives in their attempts
to resolve a virus problem. So how could these highly-touted “experts” get
everything so catastrophically wrong?

And what exactly is a public health expert anyway?

There are plenty of examples of individual health experts in society.

A dentist can help a patient understand the best practices for oral health.
A fitness professional can help a client achieve optimal metabolic health. A
nutritionist can tell you what to eat in order to stay healthy. A physical
therapist can optimize your recovery from an injury. A orthopedist can
evaluate bone health. These are but a handful of dozens of examples of
individual health specialists.

Now what can a “public health expert” do for you exactly, and how do you
define it?

Well, that’s when you encounter some roadblocks. If you Google “public
health expert definition,” you’ll get 40 different answers from 40 different
academic and government public health departments. Answers range from
“professionals in the field struggle to define public health precisely” to
“the science and art of preventing disease.”

That’s because public health isn’t a real science. Take it from me, as
someone who studied another fake form of science (political science) in
undergrad. Just as the “common good” is not good for everyone, Public Health
suffers from the same innate failures as a health concept. What is good for
Joe may not be good for Jane. What is best for Catherine may not be best for
Carlos. An attempt to optimize and perfect “public health” will inevitably
result in chaos, as we’ve seen play out over the course of the last year.

You can thank the “public health experts” for normalizing healthy
quarantines, outdoor masking, 6 feet social distancing, nightly curfews,
societal lockdowns and plenty of other baseless mystical population control
measures that were enforced (and failed to succeed in combating a virus) in
the name of science.

Individual health is to public health as liberty is to totalitarianism. The
moment you depart from treating individuals, and attempt to collectivize a
population, you’re not so much an expert as you are an authoritarian control
freak disguised as an expert.

Fauci is not a public health expert, he’s a power drunk immunologist. Bill
Gates is not a public health expert, he’s a maniacal technocrat. The CDC and
WHO do not possess public health expertise, they are bloated bureaucracies
offering historically poor recommendations for dealing with disease spread
and other societal issues.

No one person or group can claim the mantle of public health, and no one
person or group can claim to know what is best for the collective, just as
no one leader should make devastating decisions for the “greater good” of
society. Self-proclaimed public health experts are really nothing more than
aspiring autocrats who happen to populate governments and academic
departments. Given the lack of actual expertise or competition in those
fields, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that these same individuals also
happen to have atrocious track records when it comes to preventing and
treating disease spread.

Lifesite Spews? Seriously? Okay, I assume you're posting

No idea who is telling you that, but here's a hint: if
they're using the term "omniscient" in that manner, they
are *not* people actually recommending listening to the
recommendations thus offered.

Wait, is he completely unaware that the Great Orange
Shitgibbon was told to get off his worthless ass and do
something useful, and even told *what* to do, but instead
the Great Orange Rectal Polyp chose to pretend the whole
thing was a hoax, do nothing, let's go play another 500
rounds of golf?

You can't say something "didn't work" when it was never
tried at all, or tried but in such a lax fashion it may as
well not have been tried.

Hint: you can't have political rallies, bar nights, church
meets and the like if you're in a lockdown.

Masks? At what point were masks - and social distancing -
made a requirement, from a federal standpoint, an backed
up by anything resembling actual penalities for failure to
abide by them? Was that before or after the GORP kept
showing up, unwanted, unmasked, and arguing it was all a
hoax? "Chinese flu" - does that ring a bell? Is that the
phrasing of someone treating it as a national crisis?

No.

But yeah, let's pretend that the guy who has precisely
zero power to impose such mandates is the one to blame
here.

Tell me you're not actually so fucking stupid you buy that
narrative.
