      You do t have to be “qualified”, not being qualified can be a good thing. For example a medical review board, it’s good to have normal people because they are a check and balance and don’t let bad doctors off easily where doctors are bias and will.

        The answer to bad scientists are good scientists. The answer to bad scientists is never a drywaller named jeff. Im gonna assume youd prefer your triple bypass is done by a heart surgeon and not a charismatic accountant who is keeping surgeons accountable. Stop drinking the koolaid and grow up.

            Jeff can console himself by realizing that he doesn’t have to pay back the student loans the scientists are paying.

              No but he did have to deal with the grief of breaking into a trade profession that’s so old boys club dominated we might as well start calling them guilds again.

              Jeff’s REALLY not going to want to hear that.

              He’s doing drywall to pay for his Master’s in Economics.

        Yeah, let’s get more unqualified people in power over women’s medical decisions! Or unqualified raciats into cororner positions so they can blame minorities for being murdered by the police!

        Checks and balances!

        lol, what?

        “Normal” person: I think vaccines are bad! We should punish medical professionals for making at-risk people have them!

        “Normal” person: I think we should force this woman to give birth to a fetus with no heartbeat. Because abortions and abortifacients bad.

        “Normal” person: Yes, dewormer is an effective treatment for covid. We should punish doctors for refusing to administer it.

        Last damn thing we need is normal people telling experts the validity of their expertise.

        That’s literally why Americans have the worst Healthcare. We let non-scientists make scientific decisions. Just stop.
