From Andrew W. Saul:
Well, it looks like Facebook has deleted my page. Since 2013, “themegavitaminman” has been offering non-commercial, peer-reviewed information on nutritional medicine. What did it? My posting so many COVID-questioning articles – and virtually all straight from the mainstream media, such as Forbes, NY Post, Daily Mail, ABC, FOX News, Reuters, CBC, CNN, and the NY Times.
DKos, a DNC propaganda mill, was founded by Markos Moulitsas, who interned at the CIA, and has fondly recalled its “liberal” atmosphere. If I remember right, he’s also the scion of a wealthy family in El Salvador.
Some “left” we have—a “left” that gloats over a wholly groundless decision by the state to deprive one of its own communities of a doctor’s services.
From P. Jerome:
This is a really interesting article, far more positive (coming from MIT) about skeptical data analyses than one might expect. This portion caught my attention:
Data literacy, for antimaskers, exemplifies distinctly American ideals of intellectual self-reliance, which historically takes the form of rejecting experts and other elites [53]. The counter-visualizations that they produce and circulate not only challenge scientific consensus, but they also assert the value of independence in a society that they believe promotes an overall de-skilling and dumbing-down of the population for the sake of more effective social control [39, 52, 97]. As they see it, to counter-visualize is to engage in an act of resistance against the stifling influence of central government, big business, and liberal academia.
The authors also cite how the work of Thomas Kuhn has become critically important to “anti-maskers,” which is itself a positive statement given Kuhn’s pivotal role in the concept of paradigm shifts in science. A recent Corbett Report on Kuhn was a great introduction to this line of thinking, for those who are unfamiliar:

This is a disgrace. What next? (We’ll know very soon.)
Anyone who’s interested in IBM’s role in the Holocaust should read Edwin Black’s classic IBM and the Holocaust.
Please let me vent my spleen a little, and put a crude new spin on an old adage by observing that those who don’t know shit about the past are doomed. Period.
We badly need some proper education in America, in our schools and through the media—both of which institutions have completely failed to honor their respective missions. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be here now, waiting for the next totalitarian decree.

This new study by a team of researchers at MIT finds that “anti-maskers” and “coronavirus skeptics” have a much firmer grasp of the pertinent science than their adversaries, who piously invoke “the science” without actually knowing it. The former—i.e., we—”espouse a vision of science that is radically egalitarian and individualist. This study forces us to see that coronavirus skeptics champion science as a personal practice that prizes rationality and autonomy; for them, it is not a body of knowledge certified by an institution of experts.”

And then there’s this sign that some liberals have woken, or are waking, up:

From Catherine Austin Fitts:
Dr. Milller just described a new hit piece on him. Here is the new one on RFK, Jr.
Worth covering in M&M how hit-pieces work. Notice they will not deal with Kennedy’s facts and presentation on science. Instead, his clothing, home appraisals, family gossip.

Just got this from her:
I do not know what to say to you
A dangerous thing is happening to us
We are exposed to constant and severe bombardment of more than 100 rockets in 5 minutes
Clapton is, among his other virtues, notably eloquent.
This hit-piece on myself—”The Professor of Paranoia”—has just come out in the Chronicle of Higher Education. It comes as no surprise to me, since it was clear throughout my conversations with Mark Dery that, despite his friendly overtures to me some months ago (we knew each other once upon a time, as he reports), he’s utterly repelled by what I’m doing, both as a professor and a public intellectual, and was seeking ammunition. I’ve only glanced at what he wrote, and will go through it carefully when I have time; but I wanted all of you to see it, and would, of course, be pleased to have you come to my defense with letters to the editor, if you should feel so moved.
I’m sure I’ll write my own reply; and, since I believe that such attacks should always serve as “teaching moments,” I’ll probably put all the raw materials for Dery’s hatchet-job up on my website, and share it with you: the two Zoom videos of my conversations with the author, and our extensive email correspondence. This will enable one to see what details Dery chose to string together, and— more importantly—what he left out, in order to create his caricature of a once-fine mind now spouting “right-wing bunkum.” (In that way it’s somewhat like a New York Times hit-piece on RFK, Jr., published in the Style section years ago, when Bobby was writing on election theft; only Dery’s piece is less respectful.)
Right now I’ll note what struck me most about the author’s attitude toward my many heresies: his total ignorance of all the controversial issues that we touched on, or talked about at length—the moon landing, Sandy Hook and Parkland, Andrew Wakefield and Vaxxed, COVID-19 and the “vaccines,” the Great Reset, etc.—and what seemed to be a certain pride in that ignorance, as if only nut-jobs and “deplorables” would even bother studying such things at all, as doing so would mean departing from what he kept on reverently invoking as “the consensus.” It was like talking to the New York Times itself, the Gray Lady having taken over Dery’s body (which, despite his animosity, I sincerely hope keeps functioning as usual, as he and his are “fully vaccinated”; and his faith in those “vaccines,” he told me, rather frighteningly, is “carved in stone”).
In any case, we carry on, despite this kind of thing—which is to be expected when you go against the grain. (I’m honored that Dery sees my online work as comparable to the “calamity-howling” of my friend Naomi Wolf, who also has been excommunicated by the Times and, therefore, types like him.)
