The experts can tell me the numbers and the odds. They can tell me that washing my hands and avoiding sick people is the cheap and easy way to prevent spreading diseases.
What they can't do is parlay sound medical advice into ethical government practice.

depends on where you draw lines on what is ethical for the populace vs what is ethical for the individual. to me, the response has been ethical, its the backlash and disrespect for experts doing their jobs to the best of their ability that's unethical.

He doesn't need to. We have a whole government department that has spent their lives evaluating the potential harm of vaccines and other drugs, and they say it doesn't pass muster.
Granted the FDA standards are unreasonably high in many cases (Kinder egg being a popular example), and I am all for people being allowed to beta test experimental treatments.
It just seems irresponsible to promote experimental vaccination for a disease nobody would have noticed if the media had failed hype it.
