In short he is either knowingly acting as a gatekeeper, senile, or just not that smart. I would bet on the first conclusion.
I'll agree with your bet. Classic controlled opposition.
No, I think both of you conspiracy theorists are smarter than Chomsky. Chomsky is a slave of the establishment and both of you conspiracy theorists are free hero members of the society.
If you brake your leg or your neck, you should consult a quack instead of a university trained doctor of the establishment.
Some 'trained' doctor told my mom not very long ago that she should take some medication for cholesterol. When she asked about the reports of liver damage, the guy said "Oh, we can do liver transplants now."
From my research into vaccines I am sure that 90% of 'trained' doctors have very little knowledge of how the various parts of our immune systems interact and how the ecology of diseases themselves actually work. They are trained to 'know' what the pharmaceutical industry wants them to know and nothing more though some of them will, thankfully, not stop there.
So, no, I won't go to a quack. I'll evaluate the situation myself and decide who is most appropriate to help me out then I'll evaluate what they tell me and double-check that it is not self-serving bullshit. I am sure that almost no medical doctors are deliberately evil. Just that they are humans like everyone else. You probably have to be in the upper 10% in terms of native intelligence to obtain a doctorate (medical or otherwise) but that is certainly not sufficient to be immune against intellectual laziness and various socio-economic pressures.
