Peter Navarro: "My view of this now is doctors' opinions are a dime a dozen."

Side note: Navarro is such a weird little man. So is Kudlow. Where do they get these weirdos (who often seem like they are on something)?

[unc70]

1. Kudlow certainly was/is on coke

Well documented

5. Navarro and Kudlow seem to be in a race to get to Rudi territory

9. Navarro is the upper, Kudlow is the downer...

Rudy exemplifies both of the, err, traits.

2. LOL, so that makes Navarro's opinion utterly worthless then doesn't it...

[empedocles]

3. Madmen at the helm

4. Loyalty to Trump is the main consideration these days. Anyone with that mindset

is going to be on the weird side.

6. Sure they are!

I mean on the one hand, you can listen to someone like Dr. Fauci, who has spent most of his life studying epidemics and has advised six presidents, or on the other hand you can listen to someone like Dr. Immanuel, who thinks that gynecological problems are caused by people dreaming about having sex with demons.

Who's to say who's right?

7. Huh?

8. "My view of this now is GOP opinions are worthless." n/t

10. Why should anyone care what Navarro thinks?

He is saying that medical doctor's opinions are a dime a dozen. He an economist. No offense to economists out there but this fool is trying to knock people who are informed by hard science when he works in a field that basically guesses at human behavior through analysis of trading transactions and manufacturing and hasn't been able to produce any cogent understanding of the information.

Navarro is a hack and shouldn't be talking about medicine or science in any way. His opinion on the pandemic is less than worthless.

11. Actually that is Economists, Peter.

12. When you get an Economics degree from Trump U., you also get --

at no extra charge -- your choice of (A) a medical degree, (B) an international relations degree, (C) a degree in particle physics, or (D) a political science degree. I guess Peter chose (A).

13. Why do they keep giving airtime for this crap?

Once upon a time, the networks wouldn't dream of giving airtime to crackpot and lunatic fringe theories.

At most, it's a one-time story that there are people out there talking about such nonsense, then the media *called* it nonsense and moved on to facts and things that matter.


These days they're more than happy to let them promote something clearly harmful, maybe useless at best, surely these crooks are making money off it somehow, and it's taking away from sound advice that could save lives.

14. The Doctors HE cites are a dime a dozen, for sure!

Jared quit too early.
