Health expert is a term used all too loosely these days.
What people need to understand is that doctors get it wrong too, even doctors sitting as director of the NIAID, especially concerning a virus that is poorly understood. It's a good rule of thumb to heed the advice of doctors, in this case Dr. Fauci since you're directly referencing him, but my statement is still very much true. Health expert is thrown around way too much these days. Even doctors can be dumbasses.
