wait, so Matt told his 10,000 followers that Roe V. Wade wouldn't be overturned, that Trump would be worse than Biden, and that we should stop lockdown completely two months into the pandemic - but he's graybagging a 500-follower expert for being too slow on covid?

A high-clout pundit who get things wrong all the time, attacking experts for getting something wrong one time. A graybagger assumes that just because he doesn't claim to be an expert, he doesn't have to take responsibility for getting things wrong.
God, that guy has 10,000 listeners and he's been wrong about so many big things. Why is he graybagging that 500-follower scientist for being wrong about that one thing that one time?
