There has been a lot of discussion on twitter about who is being and who should be interviewed by media when it comes to #Covid_19 "experts".
It is easy for everyone to be biased, follow on twitter or listen to, interview those who think like us, whom we relate to. Unfortunately that can cause us to focus on single aspect of a complex problem. It can create large dark spots in our vision, and gaps in our understanding.
And then, what happens if the "experts" cognitive model is based on "fixed mindset" as opposed to "always learning mindset." So much of our understanding of #COVID, transmission, complications has changed. #humility = key, to admit we got it wrong & change approach to #pandemic 
I like how @edyong209 avoids bias. He uses a "forcing strategy." From UBC Phil Lind Initiative presentation, April 2022. lindinitiative.ubc.ca/events/the-ubc…
"What is the meaning of being expert?
ex·pert ˈek-ˌspərt ik-ˈspərt. : having, involving, or displaying special skill or knowledge derived from training OR EXPERIENCE."
ex·pert ˈek-ˌspərt ik-ˈspərt. : having, involving, or displaying special skill or knowledge derived from training OR EXPERIENCE."
Imagine if early on in #pandemic, we'd listen to the "expertise" of the "essential" family members of residents of LTC. They would have told us that without them, their loved one wouldn't be hydrated, fed, washed, & feel loved. Without that "expertise," we learned but too late.
