"good guy team" lol reads like an 8th grade creative writing assignment. The fact that you were unable to realize from the beginning that there was seriously nefarious agendas at play makes you stupid. There is no way someone as stupid as you should have any fancy pants little letters in front of your name. First do no harm? It's a hypocritical oath all right. How about the people you harmed by recommending (or directly injecting) this medical product to tell you they'll do you no harm while they stomp your miserable skull into mashed potatoes you pedantic moron.
". . . I realized that there really wasn't one reliable authority to go to for everything. On some things, the government gets things right, and the alternative influencers are wrong. On other things, the government is wrong, and the alternative influencers are right.
"This was very hard to accept because what it means is that it is impossible to know exactly who to trust on topics on which I have little expertise. Everything must be taken on a case-by-case basis. There is no perfectly uncorrupted authority on all topics. There are no perfectly good guys or perfectly bad guys; everything is in flux. And what was misinformation yesterday could be the science of today, and vice versa."
I second what @H8SBAD wrote.
The COVID-19 pandemic response and both the creation of SARS-CoV-2 in the lab (as part of gain of function research in general) and the cover-up of this creation, and the cover-ups of all the mainstream response failings have been egregious failings in the extreme. This pattern of corrupted, groupthunk ineptitude has caused the majority of whole professions, worldwide (with possible exceptions in some developing countries who made substantial use of vitamin D, ivermectin and other preventives and treatments officially disfavoured in the West, and in China and Russia . . . ) to act in ways which harm and kill millions of people.
These professions include doctors (and to a lesser extent nurses), immunologists, virologists, vaccinologists, epidemiologists, public health officials, politicians and mainstream media journalists. If a majority of any one of these professions, in any substantial country - or even an influential enough subset of them - had broken ranks and decisively, publicly, rejected the mainstream patterns of thought, it would have punctured the whole global pattern and greatly accelerated its dissolution. This has not yet happened, even 4 years into the disaster.
There are nefarious, corrupting elements at work - most importantly the multinational pharmaceutical companies and the legions of virologists and vaccinologists hell-bent on over-estimating the value of vaccines (and mRNA and adenovirus vector quasi-vaccines) in order to fluff up their own sense of professionalism and importance and especially to keep the public funding floodgates open sending a torrent of billions of dollars in funding each year, accompanied by widespread visceral hope and trust, to keep funding their research. However, most of the impetus for this pattern of grave failure arises spontaneously from a large subset, probably the majority, of ordinary people, in most or all countries.
Just because the outcome has been bad - I recall that The Economist somewhere estimates nearly 30 million deaths - does not mean that the whole thing was centrally planned.
The WHO, WEF, pharma companies, governments and do-good billionaires absolutely did deliberately act in ways which are utterly at odds with their responsibilities. But overall, this pattern of hope and faith in the conventional approach, which is overly focused on vaccines, emerges pretty much organically from the morass of second and worse rate thinking that characterises much of humanity. The fact that people in these professions are of above average intelligence makes them more dangerous, since their mistake is to use their intelligence, authority and great energies to support whatever they thought their tribe was doing. They could not imagine that their tribe was just plain wrong about any important matter, or that their own personal view of the world was so limited by their tribe's groupthink that they could be unaware of how mistaken the thrust of that groupthink was.
I subscribe to 150 or so Substacks, many of them concerning health. Quite a few are written by people who thought and acted conventionally at first and then changed their mind. I can't think of anyone who has done this with greater intellectual and emotional clarity and vigor than Kevin Bass.
Got to the "gain of function" pablem and couldn't read any more. You are a stupid person who is a danger to themselves and others. Please do not return to your word vomit like a malnourished dog.
Do you care to provide links to observations and/or arguments which explain your extreme displeasure?
Do you really think SARS-CoV-2 arose from zoonotic transfer, when it spread initially from Wuhan, which has less than 1% of the Chinese population, and is the only city in China which hosts virology labs which were known to be researching SARS-related corona viruses? This includes gain of function research which intended to make novel viruses which were more likely to infect humans.
If so, where is the intermediate animal? Have you read the evidence for the lab leak hypothesis? You could start by following links from: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/07-origins/ .
I understand the vitriol, but grace and forgiveness are two of my favorite attributes. Kevin is a helpful warrior against the machine. I would encourage you join me in embracing him.
This is the first I've heard of him. I'll withhold my judgement as controlled opposition cooling the marks for now. We'll see if he has the testicular fortitude to reply for himself.
I appreciate your honesty. Very few people have acknowledged what you have, and probably never will.
I have no idea where Rancourt is coming from, I’ve seen him before and thought he was reasonable, but not this time.

I have read a substantial subset of Kevin Bass' writing since he realized the errors of the mainstream pandemic response which he had formerly supported, including https://kevinbass.substack.com/p/a-scientists-independence-and-disorientation in which he wrote:

Do your own homework. Now go gobble your rat poison (cholcalciferol).
