We're not all economists, yet we should have the right to criticise the government and industry for economic policy because it affects all of us. We're not all scientists specializing in disease pathology or novel coronaviruses, and yet we still should have the right to criticise governments and pharmaceutical industries for making decisions that affect our personal lives as well. I wouldn't trust myself to develop a vaccine, and yet I have had enough experience and knowledge about pharmaceutical industries and governments not to trust them either. Democracy involves us making decisions about public policy and cannot preclude the essential step of exploring inconvenient truths, dissension, and criticism in a fair and reasonable manner. Yes, I understand that we don't really live in a democracy, but I won't bow to any Ministry of Truth until they accept all kinds of questions before they embrace any singular answer.
