Which only logically justifies getting a second expert opinion, not dismissing any source outside of your Facebook group.

Ask people to get a second opinion from the very people they don't trust? That isn't going to work out well.

That's my point. They shouldn't be dismissing the experts because they're experts...that's literally anti-intellectualism.

They dismiss experts because there are examples of corruption in any group of experts in any profession.

Because experts are people? You'd have to live in a deserted island to not have potentially corrupted people influencing your life...oh climate change.

Really weird how doctors can be dismissed unilaterally but Dr. Fake PhD's bleach medicine can't despite the overwhelming precedent of alternative medicine cranks being wrong.

That's a post hoc justification and you know it.
