One of my favorite movie scenes is the one in Annie Hall (1977) in which Woody Allen and Diane Keaton are standing on a movie line and behind them is a know-it-all guy pontificating to his girlfriend on the theories of the Canadian communications theorist Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980).
Allen goes off screen for a second. When he returns, he has McLuhan with him. McLuhan immediately tells the guy he doesn't know what he's talking about.
I sometimes wish there was a Woody Allen character or characters who would go on camera on one of these talking heads TV shows to challenge hosts and guests about the efficacy of COVID vaccines and the lethality of COVID. The information given seems to be one-sided.
