And actually being a doctor really isn’t the best degree to learn critical thinking.
You are taught how to be very good at memorisation, split second decisions, following protocols etc. 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.
