This is the anti-vaccine, anti-COVID crowd’s playbook. They pretend to have hidden knowledge. They don’t. Here’s the tactic: Deny the event. Discredit the witnesses. Accuse corruption. Declare themselves the only “critical thinkers” left. They were never in the ICU. They never ran a ventilator. They never took trauma call. But they will confidently explain what “really” happened. And if you challenge them, they won’t debate data. They’ll erase your credentials. They’ll question your motive. They’ll move the goalposts. This isn’t skepticism. It’s manufactured certainty wrapped in grievance. If someone claims every doctor is corrupt, every hospital lying, every dataset fake — and only their corner of the internet sees clearly — you are not witnessing insight. You’re watching a recruitment strategy. Engage if you must. Just understand the script before you step on stage. Oh and their credentials? They know someone, they are not boarded in any medical society - but 'they know.'
