Now... There were two really big reasons that Kulldorff could not get his message heard.
- Mainstream / Legacy Media that had zero interest in bringing on any guests that challenged the official (fully fear-based) narrative they were trying to run with; and
- Social media networks decided that they would become the arbiters of what information and ideas were or were not allowed.
As a result, most people in the US (and many around the world) never had a chance to discover that there were an array of differing opinions and viewpoints by credible experts even very early on.
The media / social media was driven by creating the appearance of consensus by eliminating your ability to hear dissenting voices.
Frustratingly, I spent much of today talking with people at a prominent libertarian think tank who can't fathom why this might be a bad thing, because it's Twitter/YouTube/CNN/etc.'s property and they get to decide whatever they want about what content is allowed.
Good work, guys.
