...there is despite,having built large, profitable followings, and is now a pariah in the media generally. I haven't seen his cash flow statement, but I doubt it's been positively affected by the censorship and the destruction of his intellectual capital that has resulted from his commentary. If you think financial motivation matters, I can guarantee you that Fauci's/Pfizer's balance sheets have improved much more than Berenson's over the past two years.

That aside, Berenson's take on COVID generally has been more right than wrong. His take on vaccines from the get go is that they probably make sense for the people most at risk of really bad COVID outcomes (elderly, obese, compromised, co-morbidities). He is not an anti-vaxxer. On the other hand, vaccines are at best neutral for younger, healthier people since 1) there are known negative short-term side effects and unknown negative longer-term side effects, and 2) younger, healthier people are at essentially zero risk from COVID, so why take an experimental vaccine for it?

He noticed very early on -- before it was reported anywhere else -- that the vaccines were not stopping transmission, which was exactly the opposite of how they were marketed to us by the drug companies, politicians and media. He was early on this and dead right. Pointing out this fact is one reason why he was kicked off social media. Think about that for a second. While the drug companies, politicians and media were lying their asses off, he was telling the truth, and he's the one who was censored.

I'd like to see you provide evidence for where he's been wrong. No one is perfect, so I know he has been wrong, and I also know how strident he can be, but I'm just curious where you see that he's been "proven wrong over and over". I want you to cite exactly what he said and exactly how he was proven wrong. Use primary sources, not how it's been characterized in your media for you.

Regarding your comment that "hundreds of thousands of Americans are dead" -- yes, hundreds of thousands of very old and sick Americans have died over the past two years who tested positive COVID at the time of death. A much smaller number of younger people died, most of whom were also compromised when they got COVID.

But your stat is ludicrous to cite without context. You are intentionally misleading people by citing it -- i.e.. exactly what you accuse Berenson of doing. (Ironically, Berenson was also early on in pointing out who exactly was dying from/with COVID and what the from/with fraud meant. He literally sorted through hundreds of death certificates online with full transparency to research what was happening -- did any of your esteemed media sources do that? No, of course not.)

Furthermore, using your stat to justify the insane public policy carried out in its name -- mask and vax mandates, business/school/church closures, levering up the U.S. balance sheet by $5 trillion, corrupting a presidential election, paying people not to work, etc. -- is just mind-boggling.
