@BrendanNyhan It strikes me that in the human challenge debate the expers are obviously very smart and they understand the armchair cost-benefit analysis very well. They simply reject the idea that would save tons of lives based on dubious ethical reasoning. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m going to stop fighting on Twitter about this after one more observation — I think a lot of the trust-the-experts people on here are better understood as institutionalists. They don’t seem bothered by the fact that Jay Powell is a lawyer who didn’t even do econ undergrad. — PolitiTweet.org

@BrendanNyhan The general question is not "does the public health community understand how to do cost-benefit analysis?" (as you say they aren't idiots) it's "are they correct as a community to reject it on ethical grounds?" — PolitiTweet.org
