As I work on organizing and migrating past work on the COVID event, and make plans to continue that work, I’m reminded of some things I said to an associate in July 2024:
It is, of course, easier said than done to pause or “stop” – especially when you don’t really want to, or are pursuing lines of inquiry that directly confront intransigent lies that keep being repeated.
But there is a critical need for those who have produced so much in the digital realm since 2020 to compile and archive paper copies of what they’ve done, if only for themselves and their own children.
Kudos to all who recognized this need early, or who have taken steps to do so by now.
I’m grateful that someone had the foresight to do that with ‘dissident’ tweets, including some of mine, via Team Reality: Fighting the Pandemic of the Uninformed. I also appreciate Norman Fenton and Martin Neil’s book Fighting Goliath: Exposing the Flawed Science and Statistics Behind the COVID-19 Event, comprised largely of material from Where are the Numbers? (their Subtack), which includes some articles I was able to co-author.
Fellow American Katherine Watt deserves high praise for compiling her and others’ diligent research into easy-to-access volumes and placing copies on file at a university library (until the library declined submissions offered after 2021).*
Many more authors whose books sit on my “COVID shelves” could be named; each has my respect for helping ensure the past can’t simply be disappeared.
