https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Sachs#COVID-19 (emphasis mine)

In spring 2020, Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet, appointed Sachs as chair of its COVID-19 Commission, whose goals were to provide recommendations for public health policy and improve the practice of medicine. Sachs set up a number of task forces, including one on the origins of the virus.

    What does “he lead the lancet team” even mean?!?

    It’s like you didn’t even read the the body of my post, never mind the wiki page I was quoting from.

    Is he an expert in virology, world politics, or economics? Which is it? Lol

    He is indeed an expert in world politics and economics. Did you not do even the most basic research into him? And no he’s not an expert in virology, but he lead The Lancet teams, and some of them were experts.

    Not sure why you’re deciding this guy is the hill you want to die on.

    What are you even talking about? Is everything about smears and hill dying? I think Sachs, and I, are interested in discovering the facts of the matter. What are your motivations?

    zero background in economics

    Oh okay, you’re just gish gallopping? You’re saying that one of the most famous economists in the world has zero background in economics? I’m not going to bother addressing your other silly arguments then. If you’re going to write nonsense, why write at all?
