Can We Make Thursday \u2018Everybody Blog About Mass Formation Psychosis Day?\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

Recall that people are\u00a0trying to de-platform Joe Rogan<\/a>\u00a0for hosting Dr. Robert Malone, who has popularized the \u201cMass Formation Psychosis\u201d theory to explain public reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Well, here\u2019s some news for you:\u00a0They can\u2019t de-platform everybody<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If all of us with access to digital platforms \u2014 bloggers, columnists, people on Twitter and Facebook, etc. \u2014 will unite behind this idea, we can defeat these censors and make it impossible for them to suppress the idea.<\/p>\n

Therefore, I propose that this Thursday, Jan. 27, be declared \u201cEverybody Blog About Mass Formation Psychosis Day.\u201d The objectives:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Call attention to the censorship campaign by which COVID-19 panic brigades are attempting to suppress criticism.<\/strong>\u00a0If you look at the Google results, you\u2019ll notice that the first page of results (which is all that most Googlers ever see) is dominated by \u201cfact checks\u201d and people endeavoring to \u201cdebunk\u201d Mass Formation Psychosis as a \u201cconspiracy theory.\u201d This obviously reflects manipulation of the Google algorithm in an attempt to support censorship of Joe Rogan and others.<\/li>\n
  2. Explain what \u201cMass Formation Theory\u201d really means.<\/strong>\u00a0There is nothing outlandish about\u00a0the theory that Dr. Malone has outlined<\/a>. When the \u201cdominant narrative\u201d is promoted by politicians and major media organizations \u2014 when they\u2019re all on the same page, so to speak \u2014 most people will believe what they\u2019re being told and react the way they\u2019re instructed to react. The theory is a bit more complex and nuanced than can be summarized in a sentence or two, but the basic idea isn\u2019t at all crazy or \u201cextremist,\u201d no matter what the self-declared \u201cfact checkers\u201d claim.<\/li>\n
  3. Most critics of COVID-19 policy are not \u201canti-science.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0This has been the problem with public reaction to the pandemic from the start. Various \u201cexperts\u201d (including Dr. Anthony Fauci and the science\/medical commentators on TV news outlets) presented themselves as having all the answers to COVID-19, and advocated restrictive policies as the One Right Way to fight the virus. Because these experts were presented as being the voices of \u201cscience,\u201d anyone who criticized the restrictive policies was implicitly accused of being \u201canti-science.\u201d This involved an appeal to a common prejudice among college-educated people, who cherish a self-image of being on the side of enlightenment, and who view themselves as engaged in a war against ignorance. To such people, it was easy to see Dr. Fauci as a heroic knight doing battle against the dragon of \u201canti-science.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It does not matter, in terms of \u201cEverybody Blog About Mass Formation Psychosis Day,\u201d what you believe about the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines. Dr. Malone himself is deeply skeptical of mRNA vaccines, but that\u2019s neither here nor there in regard to the importance of the free speech issue involved. I\u2019ve gotten the vaccine, and have suffered no side effects worse than minor soreness in the arm where I got the shot, but I\u2019m against making the vaccine mandatory, which is what the Biden administration has been trying to do, while demonizing anyone who refuses to get vaccinated, no matter their reasons.<\/p>\n

    A young woman of my acquaintance is a liberal and a mother of two sons. Like many other women of childbearing age, she is unvaccinated \u2014 that\u2019s one of the dirty little secrets that the COVID-19 vaccine propagandists don\u2019t want you to know. They keep trying to pretend that it\u2019s us old white Republican guys who are the so-called \u201cvaccine resisters,\u201d but it\u2019s really more common among women under 40 and among racial minorities. Furthermore, mothers especially are angry about schools being closed, and this is causing some liberal moms to declare themselves \u201cpolitically homeless\u201d because they can see that it\u2019s Democrats who want to keep schools closed. So this young unvaccinated mom of my acquaintance, who lives in the Land of the Free \u2014 thank you, Governor DeSantis \u2014 has already had COVID-19 and thus has natural immunity. Yet she sees Joe Biden (whom she voted for) on TV demanding that everybody must be required to get the vaccination,\u00a0as if natural immunity doesn\u2019t exist<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    The plural of \u201canecdote\u201d is data, as they say, and I think there must be a lot of people like her out there. Two years into this pandemic, even liberal Democrats are sick and tired of the maximum lockdown mentality, and they are the real target audience for \u201cEverybody Blog About Mass Formation Psychosis Day.\u201d If they can be made to see how public perception can be manipulated by politicians and the media in this specific case, perhaps they will become more skeptical to other \u201cdominant narratives\u201d that are promoted in the same way. Who knows? Perhaps they\u2019ll even start questioning Keynesian economics.<\/p>\n
