I have been getting a lot of attacks for my book--Hitler's Big Lie and the Covid-19 Pandemic. It boggles my mind at how many people are willing to throw out their rights and the rights of others as well as throw out everything we have learned about disease and disease control in the past 300 years. They are so closed minded that they accept what the CDC says without actually reading the citations behind it, while at the same time condemning my opinion without even reading my book or any of its citations.
Because I do reference history and how these ideas (lock downs, masks, etc.) were discredited as methods of controlling pandemics years ago and continue to be discredited today--I was accused of relying on old medical theories instead of "new" ones. Most of the citations in my book have been written since 2000. The ideas of lock downs as disease control were initially created in the 1300s.
The irony is that these things came under scrutiny as soon as they were proposed and used for pandemic control. That did not stop them from being used because people "thought" they were effective even when science said they were not. The same experiments have been replicated in different ways throughout history, and they have the same results. When it is all said and done, lock downs and masks do not stop the spread.
WHO is no longer giving daily situation reports. They seem to be shifting away from allowing people to interpret numbers toward forcing people to accept their interpretations. They also are superimposing daily deaths over the daily new cases--using TWO DIFFERENT SCALES SO DAILY DEATH NUMBERS LOOK GREATER. But look back at the reports from January to June. Every country locked down in March before they had huge numbers--immediately after this lock down, infection numbers around the world spiked up. This means that even if you do not accept ANY scientific data on lock downs prior to COVID-19 and you only use the data collected by WHO during this pandemic, you will see that the lock down did not stop the spread of disease... again.
If lock downs did not cause severe economic damage, then one could say, "Sure, lets keep trying these because they make some people feel better." But the problem is that lock downs hurt people massively--with no benefit.
As a freelance writer, I am usually ghostwriting, so I would not get direct attacks for controversial subjects. But I don't write things that I haven't spend a lot of time researching, though, whether I am ghostwriting or writing under my own name. The irony is that I have not written some conspiracy theory book with fake citations. In fact, I can't think of any conspiracy theory books where 1/4 the book is listed citations. I also can't think of a conspiracy theorist who encourages you to go out and do your own research, but I might be wrong because I don't read too much of that.
If you believe the "new" normal is the best thing to do--fine--but the "new" normal is actually a very OLD normal that people have fought hundreds of years to get rid of because it was harmful and didn't work. You are entitled to your opinion, but I am also entitled to mine. Science says yours (and the CDCs) is wrong.
