It is pretty telling that some of the best, often breakthrough or disruptive scientific papers in the last few years go little to no attention. Sometimes I find myself reading remarkable papers, truly novel and the little windows on the side showing "total reads 50", or a few hundred max.

Depressing.

Three dramatic areas in which research went down a completely wrong "rabbit hole" and wasted huge amounts of resources and time are in:

—Cancer research focusing on genetic damage of chromosomes and gene abnormalities instead of the mitochondria and cellular energy production.

— The-heart-disease-caused-by-cholesterol and the resulting Statin drug fiasco. A corollary is the promotion of the very unhealthy high-carb, low-fat diet, and the demonizing of healthy saturated fats and promotion of toxic industrial seed Omega 6 oils.

—T2DM Diabetes treated as a "chronic, incurable, and progressive disease" of elevated blood glucose instead of a curable natural response to too-high a consumption of carbohydrates (especially fructose!) combined with a sedentary lifestyle and suboptimal nutrition (including too much Omega 6 fatty acids), AND frequent snacking, especially on high-carb/high industrial seed oils junk foods.

Standing on the shoulders of midgets does lead to more limited perspective. At this point we are standing under the midgets.

". . . in 2021, I started to find major flaws in a lot of the propositions of many doctors, especially many “alt-covid” personalities, who would later become big influencers. It took me 5 weeks, 16 hours per day to effectively “disprove” the bullshit, to no avail, to no change. Said influencer produced a preposterous and absurdly wrong proposition per week."

WHAT "'alt-covid' personalities", and WHAT "propositions" and "bullshit"???

If we have been fed fake data/information, please enlighten us! This is very important! I assume that you must have written about it already, but perhaps you can point us newer readers to it? Thanks!

I am not opening that can of worms again, pointing out flaws of how many of these "personalities" interpret data leads to nothing, just an absurd waste of my time.

I also passed the point of caring, I write to try and help people, but I don't get entangled with others anymore. You can find hints to who around my substance, in the comments of oldest articles or articles themselves but as Annie said, I have published quite a lot, so it will also be a waste of your time in that regard. But not to learn some good information maybe ?

I could be wrong but I believe JP is using the term 'alt-covid' from his pov. As in "not based in scientific evidence ".... like: highly contagious, high death rates, etc.

His archive is WAY too extensive to get into here, imo.💚

No, I am stating Alt COVID as the other side of the conversation, there is the pro vaccines, and the other side, "our" side. Robert Malone is a perfect example of this.

Also pro population control if nobody cared to go look into his "opinions".

I got sucked in for a few weeks when he rose to power after DarkHorse. I became suspicious when I heard the story often enough on different venues. It didn't deviate, every few days a 'new' insight. The damned Portuguese horses....and that spread in Virginia. I know that part of Virginia quite well. Alot of Washington money and weekend fox hunts. I kid you not.

Some other folks are now waking up to the fact that Malone always shift the lenses towards specific places, never to shine a light where it would be unconfortable for the DoD. Ironic enough a lot of these folks cultishly follow one specific "influencer" who quite literally took orders and runs cover for Malone, and has since the start.

Thank you for this intresting perspective and the references! I would love to know your working definition and/or a how to on "critical thinking". What makes it critical?

After reading a couple of paragraphs I thought "Graham Hancock and friends would appreciate this article " 👍
