I appreciated the fact that he shared his credentials, otherwise he’s just a Vietnamese guy with a weird name on youtube with a stupid haircut.
same. I’m far from the degree or trade elitism type, but it’s just as much a disclaimer as it is a credential of support in these situations.
when I hear “I’m a physician” my mind knows to be especially critical of his/her opinion, as it only holds weight with regard to treatment/medical practice.
So if he starts making epidemiology claims I know this has gone from professional to personal opinion. Likewise if statistician/mathematician in epidemiology starts talking about using Aquarian cleaner pills.
if the guy is a freight shipping logistics manager and not talking about the impacts in his field...again skepticism.
I find it important to know who is providing me with info.
if it’s a journalist, I know the information is more worthless than a steaming pile of poop covered I. Flies....
