In a recent letter to the editor, I stated that I did now know what qualifications the Bosens have that allows them the ability to decide which scientific papers are “true science,” and which are “pseudo science.” That was not a question, but the Bosens decided to respond with what they see as their qualifications. And I still don’t know!
As usual Mr. Roy, your rant is full of misleading and false statements. Out of 4500 accredited U.S. Hospitals, U.S. News and World Report ranks Stanford Medical as 12 in the world, and Tufts nearly as high, and an RN in either's employ is held to the highest standards of care in the industry, as both are renowned teaching hospitals which require that their nurses participate in continuing in-service education workshops taught by leaders in their respective fields of study. Being an RN in such a hospital does qualify you above the herd because of that. For instance, my wife has a special certification in infectious disease for having participated in such training and that qualifies her not just to give COVID shots, but requires her to be current on the science of it. Moreover, the UMass MBA program is consistently ranked by USNWR as the number one public program in the northeast. An MBA in Health Care Administration is the level of education most often found among CEOs of health care organizations who are responsible for managing the delivery of care in their organizations according to professional standards. You bet it qualifies them to review the current scientific literature that informs the standard of care in those professions for which they are legally responsible.
As you are fond of quotes famous men, here's one for you:
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” - Isaac Asimov
