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.
