@gummibear737 @Covid19Crusher @LukeMor19529310 @MichaelPSenger @EduEngineer @EthicalSkeptic We have been in the grips of some sort of mass self delusion, up is called down and the minions scream, “yes!” A few deeply examined the good and the bad science, me included.

We presented statistics, graphs, logic, and the moral principles involved. An incredible furor was directed our way. We were doxxed, our social media accounts turned down or cancelled, some of us were even assigned personal trolls from big Pharma to heckle us.

This is not whining but these are simple facts. We engaged in debate and they tried to cancel us. Many noted epidemiologists blocked me instead of simply talking about math/statistics errors. We are the canaries laying dead or dying on the bottom of our cages in the coal mine.

We are the early warning of what is and what is coming. The cancel culture now directed at science, economics, and politics. A perverse alignment of hysteria and opportunists spread through media, academia, bureaucrats, and politics all amplified by social media manipulation.

You followed the advice of corrupt institutions led by corrupt bureaucrats like Tedros and Fauci. You listened to a corrupt uni-media propaganda machine suddenly transformed into medical experts most of who could not tell you the meaning of a p-score.

And behind the scenes politicians and big Pharma manipulated it all. This is not simply a discussion of Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, it is a discussion of the state of our society. A great criminal act was perpetrated on the world.

Jeering crowds demanded luminaries like Risch and Raoult be condemned or excommunicated while Fauci, Rasmussen, Freiden, and Gottlieb spouted nonsense. There was not any real debate there were only adulation alternating with struggle sessions.

People make mistakes, but this was not simple error it was intentional. But it speaks to a greater problem, the creeping loss of individual sovereignty, bravery and discerning skepticism. It also tells us what an unbalanced press and biased social media does to society.

With no balance in debate, usurpation occurred. Political, economic, social damage was wrought across the planet. Over a million died unnecessarily because of profits, politics and pride. Your contrition is brave but all of us should be outraged and insist on reform.

Open debate and honest discourse is the foundation of our Western societies. Authoritarian self-satisfied leftist academics, a one party aligned MSM and immoral opportunists have been able to actively suppress, even redefine the truth. We should all be scared for our future.
