On November 2nd, 2022 - 8 months ago - I wrote a piece making the same points as Swanson's essay - namely, that social media and the Internet, used like they SHOULD have been used - could and would have SAVED many lives.

I added a sentence after I sent article out to my subscribers. See the second sentence - I should have included this in my original column as it's one of Swanson's main points:

The opinions of those who believe the “experts” might be “ignorant” were censored or not allowed to reach large numbers of people. Because of this, “falsehoods” could NOT be “dispelled.”

Swanson points out such a surreal template is the exact opposite of real science, which exists to challenge dubious claims.
