That's the great thing. You don't actually have to know anything about anything you're talking about and people will listen to you because you are a "celebrity". It happens all the time, across all spectrums and views. It's been happening for a very long time. This isn't particularly surprising, or unique.

I guess what makes this situation different is what their doing is borderline criminal and it's probably going to get people killed.

I'm not sure anyone is really a covid-19 expert, but at least Dr. Dre and Dr. Oz are actual physicians.
