Different opinions can come from different contexts. We were talking about doctors and scientists, which are only a couple of perspectives ... valid as they are. But in a world dominated by specialists, there's nothing about that validity that suggests it must somehow carry over into politics, economics, etc. Let alone some virologist's opinion about public health and lockdowns, let alone mental health.
But I'm not sure where you're coming with some tyranny of consensus bubble. Scientists telling you to eat expensive
magic dirt are as much a distraction today as they were in March 2020. That hasn't changed.
If you're going to rail on the complexities of weaving in the concerns beyond scientists and doctors, that's an entirely different convo.
Companies on the verge of collapse usually celebrate Xmas parties in January, so good on you for that.
