Summary
Dr. Herman J. Edeling’s article “COVID-19 – Blind Faith or Open Minds” addresses the confusion and polarisation surrounding expert opinions on the pandemic. He contrasts “fashionable opinions” from well-funded entities like politicians and media with “unfashionable opinions” from independent experts. Emphasising critical thinking, he advocates for transparent and reasoned debate. Edeling highlights the importance of evaluating expert opinions based on evidence and logical analysis, akin to legal practices. He calls for transparency in reporting vaccine-related statistics and warns against the uncritical acceptance of interventions without considering long-term risks.
