You mean like people who have, say a Ph.D. in mathematics and have "FAQs"
about vaccines? Or about people who claim to be experts in nutrition while
trying to sell a vitamin drink or other useless concoction.

Or, how about a group of physicians who went to college for 4 years, then
med school for 4 years and then 3 or more years of residency. And base
their
beliefs largely on information that has been published in peer-reviewed
journals?

Gee, so whom should one believe for expert advice on the care of children?
Someone who is a board-certified pediatrician or an outstanding
mathematical
theorist?

All the best,
