Nate Silver thinks his expertise in statistics, which is real, makes him an expert in everything, including politics. sports, and now epidemiology. It doesn't. He's gotten a ton of stuff wrong and jumped to a lot of conclusions since the start of the pandemic. He can't stand the idea that there's another group of people (epidemiologists) who understand the subject better than he does. It's the same way he has contempt for all these people who worked in politics before he did.

538 an excellent site.
Nate Silver as a pundit is terrible.
Dick Morris terrible.
He should stick what he does best and leave the punditry to the experts.
