I have no clue who Alex Berenson is, nor do I care. What I do know is, they have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.
Source: I am a very close former friend of Dan’s who received several calls regarding the cause of death. And no, I am not going to comment further on this. But, I think my track record makes clear that I would have no problem telling y’all if there was an actual vaccine conspiracy story here.
Whoever this Alex Berenson person is, they’re an absolutely despicable person for doing this to Dan’s legacy. I’m so angry right now.
I only met Dan a couple of times at Toorcon, so I can only imagine how angry you are. His memory doesn’t deserve this.
Unfortunately that’s Alex Berenson’s shtick of latching on to someone else’s problems to sell his work in the culture wars. Prior to COVID he had, despite having no qualifications or experience, written a book arguing against cannabis legalization alleging that it caused psychosis. This was flatly rejected by the scientific community for analytic errors but acted as a warmup for what he’d do during the pandemic when he found a larger audience for his lies and came pretty close to parlaying them into his own Fox show.
Just before reading this, I read an article in the local newspaper (sz.de), interviewing the team at one of the hospitals. Their life is hard. Many patients, but also: Last year they had regular people as patients. Now they have many who wouldn't get vaccinated and are asking for much justification for every treatment.
One of them describes current corona patients as "a potpourri of difficult personalities".
The lady Alec Baldwin killed had guns pointed at her (by actors!) lots of times before, and hadn't died of it to that point! It's irresponsible to speculate that just because other people have been killed by guns, that was the case here!

That Alex Berenson fits.
