Essential Terms of the Authority Crisis

Some excellent observations here. Credentials are mostly meaningless, and we need a new system of continuous evaluation regardless of past achievements in all critical professional fields to really trust competence: medicine, engineering, law enforcement, legal, etc.

A few additional and interesting data points to consider:

1. There are over 10,000 employees at the CDC (https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2020/02/29/106...).

2. It has been reported that the CDC was poorly prepared to respond to a pandemic despite years of “planning” and “predicting” the coming storm. They provided false information (the use of masks) and false tests (https://www.npr.org/2020/11/06/929078678/cdc-report-official...).

3. In general, it is reported that the majority of published medical research findings are false :(https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/jo...)

4. It is reported that over 250,000 deaths per year are attributable to medical error (https://www.sidgilreath.com/learn/medical-malpractice-death-...)
