    which are different skills than what is valued in people like biologists and biochemists who conduct lots of biomedical research.

    Ehh… I wouldn’t say that your degree dictates your ability to think critically. I mean a lot of MD’s have biology/chemistry degrees and work in biomedical research.

    I think virology is such a specified field of study that it takes someone with practiced experience to really explain it well.

    I mean, I have a medical degree, but practice in orthopedics and rehabilitation. I haven’t seriously studied anything having to do with viruses in over a decade. Which places me in the same boat as the vast majority of physicians.

    I wouldn’t really take anyone’s word on the matter unless they are actively working in the field at a reputable organization.
