> I quite like Joe Rogan, but he's not a doctor, and neither is his partner in goofydom Brett Weinstein, they have zero medical credibility on the issue, they should straight up not be talking about the drug.

By this logic, this applies to every single person that aren’t doctors who shouldn’t be talking about the vaccine or the drugs. This includes data scientists and politicians. I’ve watched Dr. Pierre Kory’s full interview with Brett and seems clips of his testimony in front of the senate. He is extremely credible and should have a voice in this as a COVID-19 critical care doctor and who has done meta analysis of the drug (https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/F...). I think people like Joe and Brett help amplify voices of people like Dr. Pierre Kory similar to politicians who amplifies Dr. Fauci

So I think you might be misunderstanding my point a bit.

Scientists and Doctors should be talking about it in scientific forums and communities. Politicians should be reiterating the 'current consensus'.

People shouldn't be talking about it in public / tabloid forums because the information is vague, misrepresented and will be taken entirely out of context.

I totally support people taking contrarian positions.

I think we should probably assign people towards being 'The Devil's Advocate'.

The issue is not 'freedom of expression and open dialogue' - it's one of 'crude populism and misinformation'.

It's about how information is propagated, and how people react to it.
