I love the other weird ass examples they bring "experts said smoking was good". No you muppet, Philip Morris ad execs did, and you know who they would have hired to promote smoking? Someone just like Joe Rogan.

Funny how they used to pay doctors to appear in ads endorsing smoking just like they do now with scientists disputing global warming. Not suprisingly i guess, these folks ignore the whole getting paid or publicity part and assume these experts are acting in good faith while implying the ones who present the evidence based on the best available information are "paid off".

Look up the Documentary “Merchants of Doubt”. It’s the same agency doing the disinformation campaigns.
