TS,
It is interesting that in the US the current "plandemic" "science" is the new voodoo religion that mustn't be questioned whereas in the UK there are dissenting voices. I don't listen to the American fake news but I've been listening to those voices from the UK on the YouTube. For the most part. There is Tom Woods here in the states.

Back in the day a liar or an ignoramus was just treated as a liar or an ignoramus – an unintended product of the internet though is that such people have created communities of like-minded believers that have become self-sustaining as each baseless claim is picked up, amplified and reinforced. Suddenly we see the re-emergence of flat earther, moon landing denier, anti-vaxxer etc communities convinced of their rightness, and that we’d all see it too but for mysterious global organisations (eg the Bilderberg Group) intent on suppressing their insights.
In the US 260,000 + and counting people have died of Covid-related illness while your president has been asleep at the wheel, various mask-free events have been broadcast only for multiple participants to come down with it (“super-spreader” events), and there have been some 12.8m cases in total. If you want to call reputable sources “fake news” and instead decide that outliers posting videos on YouTube are the real deal then you need to explain why. Of course science can be challenged – the whole enterprise relies on challenge after all so as to validate and test its theories – but if you want to challenge science you have to play on science’s turf. This means presenting facts and evidence, and developing the reason-based counter-arguments they support.
Instead though what happens is that outliers throw out their assertions on You Tube, then claim that science is some sort of global conspiracy that won’t give them a fair hearing. I sense that you’re lost to reason, but if nothing else ask yourself this: cui bono? Who benefits? Why would someone with the massive assets necessary to put in place a global system of suppression designed to stop you going to the mall without a face mask do that when, presumably, he could invest his money in more profitable enterprises?
