Another take on why many people correctly don't trust "experts".

The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis and the Case against Scientism

"More than a half century ago, famed writer C.S. Lewis warned about how science (a good thing) could be twisted in order to attack religion, undermine ethics, and limit human freedom. In this documentary "The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis and the Case Against Scientism," leading scholars explore Lewis's prophetic warnings about the abuse of science and how Lewis's concerns are increasingly relevant for us today."

It is very simple. People don't trust experts because a majority of the time, the experts are proven wrong.

well the cdc and who did not attack religion.

one thing we must have is basic trust. trust in your superiors and trust in public authorities. to be lead blindly? no. but to understand there is a problem and experts are working hard to solve it.

Agreed, but I see the underlying theme that many scientists are putting grant money, agendas, personal or political bias before actual "science"...

the broader quote was ,"...science (a good thing) could be twisted in order to attack religion, undermine ethics, and limit human freedom..."
"attack religion, undermine ethics, and limit human freedom"

Seems pretty clear that "lock downs" falls squarely into the "limit human freedom" category.

And telling churches not to open up while liquor stores and abortions clinics are open for biz, while dispersing, fining and arresting people for having church in their cars. Pastors arrested and facing arrest for holding services in Florida, Louisiana, California, New York and more is in fact an attack on religion salt don't you think?

No. You may do so. I place no faith in 'experts'. Nor do I allow some amorphous authority to decide whether or not I should move for my own safety. I look at the available information and make my decision based on my assessment of the threat. I am not a lemming, blindly obeying nonsense spouted by talking heads, but a free human being with the ability and sense to make decisions for my own safety and well-being.

what propaganda slot did you pull that out of??
the administration is the one who is going for personal and political gain over peoples' lives!
