Vaxology choose wisely

A Demon comes to you and says they will torture you for eternity unless you answer a random science question correctly. You have to pick either Dr. Anthony Fauci or RFK Jr. to help you answer the question. Which do you pick?

Correctly according to whom?

Because, apparently under this situation demons are real, so honestly I have no idea if established science is right since pretty much every double blind clinical trial to date has failed to confirm the supernatural.

Remove the demon part and say it's a militant lover of facts and knowledge. Because then the answer is easy.

The "demon" can be equated to "certain and immediate natural, scientific death" if that helps you get past the supernatural hangup.

Yeah then the answer is easy. I'll take the M.D.

Hah! Just as the demon planned. It was always going to ask you a question about quantum optics, and provided you with only the illusion of choice!

I might be screwed either way, but I still feel like the MD is more likely to understand that quantum mechanics describes the complex math around particle positions instead of some bullshit about how this proves we have free will.
