The field of Medicine is oustanding today, heavily regulated and with gate-keeping via certified training programs.
Here is a look at how the field looked like when there weren’t any regulations, with the specific example of the United States in the 19th-century. It’s not pretty – to say the least.
Is that were the “we’ve had enough of experts” (and of regulatory agencies) crowd would like to go back to?

Nice binary strawman.
Isn't one fallacy about trusting "experts"? Science isn't about trusting "experts" but about demonstrable evidence.
Science is about trusting experts (in part). You do not have the time or capacity to be an expert on all the things. Scientists get really into one specific topic. They become experts, and we should listen to people who have spent their lives studying topics.
@BearOfaTime Demonstrable evidence falling into trained ears that can understand statistics, math, physics, chemistry – at least at an entry level.
