"Experts" are the new "anonymous sources". Just another weasel phrase intended to provide false credibility without accountability.

It's all so tiresome.

I'm stealing that because it's so true. So where are these experts, anyway?

"Oh, well, they prefer to remain anonymous! They're...uhh, too busy for interviews right now. Never bother a scientist while they're at work! Someone will reach out to them and maybe get back to you."

Exactly. The "anonymous sources" were non-existent political players, but everyone can see how that has been failing; and so we have the "experts" who are non-existent medical professionals.
