Peter Navarro, when asked why he is qualified to have an opinion regarding COVID-19 treatments, answered, "I'm a social scientist. I have a Ph.D. I know how to read studies and statistics."
Now, I'm not sure how many of you have MDs or PhDs, but this is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time. This is like a baker telling you he should fix your car because he can read Popular Mechanics or Street Rods magazines.
I have about two dozen friends who have PhDs in social science, and they are going to be thrilled that they can recommend treatments because they have PhDs, and can read studies and statistics. It's a shame my late wife isn't alive, as with two PhDs in social sciences, she would be in great medical demand.
It's just stunning hubris. A doctorate in one field has about as much expertise in another as a blackjack counter has regarding hockey betting.
