Susie Moore, Deputy Managing Editor at RedState
Early in the COVID pandemic, I wrote an article at RedState regarding the dangers of experts who “cry wolf.” My point was that there is a measurable harm that flows from respected “experts” (in any field, but particularly science and medicine) losing their objectivity and becoming activists, pushing a partisan agenda. They may justify it to themselves, but what they’re ultimately doing is undercutting the very faith they request (and sometimes demand) others place in them.
