Investigating Covid and Government Responses: One Year Later
For more than a year, government leaders and corporate media have exploited the fear of covid-19 to achieve their own ends, perpetuating a narrative of accepted beliefs that cannot be questioned.
Almost a year ago, I published a lengthy article recounting my lengthy investigation into covid-19 and the various strategies that had been implemented to combat its spread. Since that time, I’ve watched as government leaders and corporate media have exploited the fear of covid-19 to achieve their own ends, perpetuating a narrative of accepted beliefs that cannot be questioned. Genuine scientific inquiries by some of the world’s leading epidemiologists and public health experts have been censored, and open debate on how to balance risks and benefits of various mitigation strategies has been suppressed. In what is purportedly a free society, I did not expect that dissent on these issues would or could be so quickly and almost uniformly rejected (and that the proponents of dissenting views would be falsely maligned). But as time goes on, I’m realizing just how paralyzing fear can be and how it can lead to an inability and even an unwillingness to think carefully about these important issues (I personally experienced this debilitating fear from January to April 2020).
As I write this post, I'm fully aware that I have friends on all sides of the covid debates. But regardless where one stands on all issues related to covid, I think it is beyond dispute that certain viewpoints on lockdowns, masks, treatments, et al. have been censored and suppressed, while an accepted narrative on the threat of covid—and what it will take to “go back to normal”—has been proclaimed as gospel. For those who are not aware of the data that contradicts the prevailing narrative on covid and have not really heard a succinct summary of the many who dissent from this narrative, I commend to you this short and powerful presentation of what the data really, truthfully shows about the reality of covid-19 and corresponding measures (especially lockdowns and mask mandates). YouTube removed the video shortly after it was published (and after more than 500,000 views), so I’m providing a link to the video on the author's website. If you have 25 minutes, I encourage you to watch as Nick Hudson succinctly relays all that I have found to be true as I have continued to research all things covid over the past year. Here’s the link:

And here’s a link to the main page of the website created by Nick Hudson and others (contains a wealth of data and information on covid):

I hope to post a few other videos in the coming days that have also been censored by YouTube and other entities, including discussions with several leading epidemiologists and public health experts.
Finally, here’s a link to my article from last year for anyone who would like it (the video is better, shorter, and more recent, but the article contains earlier links to statements from the WHO, the CDC, Dr. Fauci, etc., that are also referenced in the video):
Addendum: Why continue posting articles and videos related to covid? Because there are some people who are still seeking to use covid as a pretext to exert control over people’s lives, actions, and thoughts. I care about what is true, and I care about people, so I want others to know what is true so that they can make genuinely informed decisions for themselves and their families. Moreover, because lockdowns, masks, and other measures have caused significant harms and interruptions to people’s lives, it’s important that we all know the truth about these measures because they will be used again and again for future epidemics if people do not learn the truth now.
