See also: Elon calling himself an engineer because he bought Tesla out from under its founders and invests in other tech companies. It's a natural conclusion of the antieducation, antiexpertise movement where anyone can be an expert if they just "do their research."

Dr. Salles researches these topics for a living. This is how she uses her highly specialized training as a physician and a surgeon, and an acknowledgement of an antiexpertise trend that started decades ago and sped up significantly with algorithm-driven social media. It's not about one person.

I have faith that when we need a #birdflu #vaccine the most, #trump will do EVERYTHING in his power to profit off its use.

Just be sure to check the vax label for a reputable maker, underneath the TRUMP LABS sticker.

OK, thanks. Well, I hope you're right! But it's hard to be optimistic about anything regarding advances in public health or science while these aggressively antiscience, antiexpertise goons are in charge. Hoping if Ds regain both houses of Congress, Bobby is among the first impeached and removed.
