It’s pretty hackneyed to whine about “the media” these days. Obviously, there are plenty of excellent journalists, and my own writing would not be possible without their efforts. Nonetheless many of them have been complicit in the COVID Amnesia Project, whitewashing and sanitizing the atrocious track record of MAHA doctors, thus numbing the public to their current threat. Several recent, utterly typical examples are below:

To be clear, these are very important articles. We should all appreciate journalists who gave us the inside scoop on Dr. Marty Makary’s ouster and revealed how Kennedy and MAHA doctors are quietly attacking vaccines from within. Without them, we wouldn’t know such things. Moreover, their descriptions of MAHA doctors aren’t totally false. However, they are woefully incomplete and therefore fundamentally inaccurate, like describing OJ Simpson as a football player who had some disagreements with his wife. 

It’s obviously true that MAHA doctors criticized lockdowns and mandates, and today they are portrayed as only having opposed the pandemic’s most unpopular mitigation measures. They are depicted as reasonable, good-faith actors who merely wanted better “evidence.” However, there was an important reason why MAHA doctors criticized lockdowns and mandates, and most journalists don’t mention it.

In reality MAHA doctors wanted them infected in 2020, and they spread a deluge of disinformation to further this pro-infection objective. They were part of an international effort to mass infect unvaccinated young people in the misguided belief that natural immunity would lead to herd immunity in 3-6 months. This is why MAHA doctors opposed lockdowns, mandates, and literally everything else that slowed the virus. Don’t take my word for it. Take theirs. They were very open about it at the time, and there’s no need to cover it up today.

I think it’s vital for journalists not to hide this sordid history from their readers, especially with several MAHA doctors still in power doing Kennedy’s bidding. People need context and background into who these doctors were- beyond their broad objections to lockdowns and mandates. People deserve to know their history. They didn’t arise out of nowhere, and it’s no surprise that doctors who spread disinformation about the COVID vaccine have extended these efforts to many other vaccines today. People need to know the past credibility of our medical leaders to accurately gauge their current credibility. Can we trust the doctors who told us not to worry about COVID in 2020 when they tell us not to worry about other viruses in 2026?

If journalists want to honestly inform their readers of what MAHA doctors said regarding COVID, I suggest they do what we do here at SBM and share their actual words. There’s an overwhelming number of Tweets, editorials, and YouTube videos for them to choose from. Accurate descriptions of MAHA doctors would then read:

See, that’s not so hard, and it’s all true.
