The only thing worse than a useful idiot, is a useful idiot with a degree.

Nutpicking.

I don't care anymore about what people say on Twitter. What we need is politicians running on a platform to remove all the power from unelected bureaucrats and strengthen the protections that were supposed to be provided by the constitution. No more extended emergency orders.

It must be so horribly painful for these ego maniacs to ever admit they’ve been wrong about anything. Considering how much agony they’ve caused millions (if not billions) over the past two years, I hope the pain doesn’t subside anytime soon.

Pfuck him.

Albert Einstein wasn't "qualified" to teach high-school math or physics.

Thank God L.A. Unified requires "teaching credentials" or kids might get a crap education!🤣

There's no correlation between "educated" and "intelligent". Some of the smartest people I know have little or no formal education, and some of the dumbest people I know have more degrees than they can count.

“It is neither the level of our education nor the institution that educated us that makes any of us intelligent. Rather it is the willingness to challenge our present belief system, our openness to analyzing new knowledge, and our ability to critically think for ourselves independent of authority that makes us intelligent.” - JS Kim

Conflict of interest statement: I'm a retired computer engineer, with very little formal education after high-school.

“Don’t wear a mask!” “Wear a mask!” “Wear two masks!” Wear three masks!” “Cloth masks don’t work!” “Only N95s will protect you!”

“If you’re vaccinated you can’t get covid.” “Vaccines are 100% effective at stopping covid.” “Vaccines are 96% effective.”

“Vaccines are 70% effective.” “Vaccines no longer effective after six months.” “Boosters are our only way out of covid.” “It is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.

Just a sampling of the nonsense that has been spouting out of these morons pie holes.

I deduced from the data I've seen from Israel that natural immunity is more effective than mRNA induced immunity.

I was kicked off a local MeetUp site by a group administratior who started an altercation about masking that devolved into his bragging about his credentials while calling Ivermectin horse paste. Once the truth is out there and indisputable, that credentialed dope will still be asserting the CDC narrative of 2021. I take being off that site as a badge of honor.

The problem with people like him and Fauci etc. It has nothing to do with their credentials. Its the fact that you, Fauci etc refused to debate anybody with the same or better credentials is what makes you a clown! What kind of doctor or scientist doesn't allow debate? One thats full of sh!t

Expand full comment

Because they don't understand exactly what "Credentials" EARN OUR TRUST.

Letters behind your name, or what you've published has some impact, but you must BE HONEST to be trusted. Admit you're wrong. Admit where you're uncertain. Admit that, "XYZ action reduces your risk, but you have to apply your own values to your own choices." etc.

People need to remember that science is something you do, not something you are, and the moment you start putting self interest or ideology above a commitment to truth, you aren't doing science any more. I have he greatest respect for experts who remain humble and honest. Those who aren't are giving expertise a bad name.

I feel so ashamed. There I was, listening to some rando named Michael Levitt on the internet. He won a Nobel prize thingy. (That's a participation award, right?) And those randos Sunetra Gupta and Jay Bhattacharya. What was I thinking?

“…Dr. Anthony Fauci, previously the most respected medical voice in the country…” LOL. Says who? Sadly, for decades most of us were completely unaware of Dr. Mengele Fauci. That’s how he quietly amassed so much power. I guess ol’ Derelict Dent is counting on some grant money from Tony, so he’s gotta bow publicly at his alter.

Credentials LOL

He paid big bucks. Put his time in. Said what he needed to say. Learned what they wanted him to learn.

He gives away the real value of his credentials when he says vax immunity is better than natural immunity. Real genius. He says that and the wonders why people don't want to listen to him. He may as well just wear a badge that says: I'm a Friggin Moron But Listen To Me. I Have Credentials.

Expand full comment

It's easy to confuse credentials with credibility. It's nice when they coincide, but they often do not. A nice Venn diagram may be helpful here, but you'll have to draw it for yourself.

Expand full comment

Expert opinion is level 5, the lowest level, of the hierarchy of scientific evidence. Likewise the computer modeling projections. The BIG F's politically driven and financially driven and conflict-riven pronouncements did not even make it into the hierarchy of scientific evidence. So that guy's rant is not about the science, clearly, but he, like BIG F, makes it all about ME-ME-ME. Not a good look for the face or the voice of THE SCIENCE.

If he believes in the Covid vaccine that much, he wouldn’t mind taking a couple hundred vials would he?

He's panicking that nobody cares about the letters after his name. We've been lied to and manipulated for too long. I watch Washington Journal on C-Span most mornings, it's not perfect but does give you a glimpse of the masses. I think the tables are turning. The majority of callers now have seen the light. We're sick of it and pushing back finally.

I had to laugh. My mother was a Ph.D., my brother is a Ph.D. I called my brother "doctor" one time and he said "don't do that again." I said why? You earned it. He said "The only thing that means is I could sit still for 8 years." Just because you went to school doesn't mean you know everything. Plenty of Ph.Ds., are wrong about stuff all the time. This guy didn't lose respect during the pandemic, he obviously never had it to begin with.

“Fauci, the most respected medical voice”

Was he really? Or just that he held the purse strings. If he was so great, then name an accomplishment.

I guess he hasn't read The Real Anthony Fauci

Expand full comment

Dr. Dent, could you identify this (these) random person(s) on social media? It would help a lot. As to your assertion Dr. Fauci was previously the most respected medical voice in the country; well, that is a stretch according to a relative of mine who attended conferences where Dr. Fauci was speaking in the 1990s. More to the point, did you ever receive any information from Dr. Fauci (or the CDC) to supplement 6,000 iu of Vitamin D3 daily, like he does? If you did not, you are not alone. Neither did I. How about that massive campaign by the CDC to encourage people to reduce their BMI? I missed all of the CDC outreach on that one, too. Dr. Dent, using your background in immunology, could you please provide a back of the envelope number of how many lives we could have saved in the US by pushing Vitamin D3 supplements and BMI reduction with as much vigor as the various levels of government have pushed mRNA vaccination?

Poor pathetic sap...natural immunity is always better than jab induced...always... and this joker is an immunology prof......good grief...Prof Alexander, please take your credentials and shove them where your dent is!

Expand full comment

Credentials are simply the person's high opinion of themselves used to hide a faulty argument and their actual low self esteem. The first and biggest BS was and is a vaccine has superior immunity then mother nature. There are so many reasons why. All you need is common sense with or without credentials.

Moderna makes its mRNA one molecule at a time in machines conceptually like a 3D printer. They can't possibly be checking each amino acid. How many of these are defective? Even if each mRNA is perfect, what about short/long term unplanned effects?

He should be sued for vaccine misinformation. It’s been known for more than 100yrs that natural immunity is superior to any vaccine.
