I don't understand what point you're trying to make, other than "I don't like people telling me what to do. Especially people who can claim authority through their credentials and experience, and those that trust their experience. Punk rock isn't dead!"

I think he’s making fun of the people who don’t trust the CDC, WHO, or epidemiologists but think Joe Rogan had interesting things to say about which strain of cannabis is most effective for treating Covid pneumonia.

Ugh what the hell is this nonsense? Just say "so there are a percentage of people who are adamant about not getting vaccinated, we gotta enact stronger measures to make sure they are". But "to piss them off"? Stupid posturing and needless antagonisation. Elon Musk-level rhetoric.

Geiginni is right though. You are not really saying anything beyond some experts are experter than others.
And we all agree on that.

Thanks. I know I was being a bit dense in asking that, but part of it has been purposely putting myself in a bubble to avoid the frustration of learning all the bullshit other people are following or believing.

Part of the demographic drive of the "which experts to believe" is driven by relational trust. Everyone almost everywhere knows jackasses like Rogan and trust them in honest guy-to-guy, business-on-a-handshake contexts, but don't necessarily know or spend time with people who have higher degrees in the sciences and statistics. Viewing public employees as faceless cogs in a hierarchy driven by lack-of-accountability at the top exacerbates the lack of trust in people who otherwise love the families and communities and want what's best for their fellow citizens, and whose years of study and devotion to their profession should imbue them with trustworthiness over random famous dudes with podcasts and snake-oil websites.

Djokovik is not vaccinated apparently and may be sent back from the down under.
