Yes, I have a ways to go. When the New England Journal of Medicine publishes an article demonstrating the effectiveness of jamming a light bulb up one's azz to cure covid or anything else, or ivermectin, then you'll have my full attention.

Bill Gates is a computer engineer (Harvard dropout and all), but he talks like a person who understands science, and he works with a broad range of scientists, so I think he is more credible about science than your average man on the street. Especially these days. Americans have never been so stupid about science. Ya' know, people in other advanced countries don't seem to share this ignorance.
