He was 100% opposed, tried to be smaht by arguing something like more screening = more false positives and he came to the dumbest conclusion that no one should do tests until they have symptoms or something, lmao.

So, like, two things here.
First: all that happened here is: I read a lot of stuff about this, and "don't get a full body scan" is a super common message actual experts deliver. I remembered, and repeated it on a thread.
Second: how weird is it that you somehow remembered some otherwise-long-forgotten slapfight thread and brought it up unbidden like this? You should charge me rent if I'm going to live in your brain like this.
