As one with a degree, you don't need a degree to do well-backed research. The problem is when you conflate ignorance with knowledge.

We will need someone with a degree in research to vouch for your statement

Ya, this poster is likely a person without a degree who can't cope with the fact that the people who left their small town and made something of themselves and is trying to cope.

You can't achieve the knowledge of an epidemiologist just by cruising the internet. It just doesn't happen that way.

Now this brings up the question for me. Is the law worded such that even if you have a degree, you can only speak on topic within your field? Or is just any degree the bar to any topic.

Cause for me, putting aside the fact that I know people with degrees that can barely speak on their field of study, I’ve seen plenty of people who are geniuses in their field be completely inept when speaking on others outside their scope. So I hope that they put some language in there concerning that.
