COVID Truth Defense Playbook
đ§ COVID Truth Defense Playbook
A Strategy Guide for Responding to Anti-Science Doctors and Bad-Faith Medical Professionals (on social media⊠something Iâm still working on)
Disclaimer: This is NOT MEDICAL ADVICE.
đCore Principles
1/ Donât debate science deniersâdefine them.
Never waste time arguing the basics with someone whoâs already shown contempt for the
scientific process.
2/ Flip the burden of proof back on them.
âIf youâre not disturbed by these findings, show us the evidence that disproves them.â
Every study has limitations. Donât get dragged into âjournal clubâ mode with denialists.
Itâs a trap designed to waste your time and obscure the big picture.
3/ Establish linguistic symmetry.
Just as âclimate denierâ became a recognizable label through repeated use of truth, so too
should terms like COVID minimizer, airborne denier, and immune damage denier.
4/ Never fight on their turf. Shift the frame.
If they demand RCTs for every mechanism, call out the impossibility and the double
standard. We donât require RCTs to prove smoking causes cancer or that parachutes
prevent death….
Living With Long Covid
90% of Long Covid cases come from a "mild" SARS-COV-2 acute infection
We strive to reduce the impact of airborne pollutants and infectious diseases by advocating for the widespread adoption of HEPA and MERV filtration systems, supporting mask usage without stigma, and disseminating reliable information about the long-term harm caused by COVID-19 and the effectiveness of clean air.

- The Basics: FAFO Edition
– FAFO (Fuck Around and Find Out) â The inevitable consequence of pretending the pandemic is over. Ignoring precautions? Get reinfected. Act like it’s the flu? Develop chronic illness.Â
– Covid Conscious / Cautious / Aware â Those who still acknowledge that SARS-CoV-2 is an airborne virus with long-term risks.Â
– Long Covid â The âpost-viralâ condition that is likely driven, at least in part, by a chronic infection that the body canât clear that the âjust a coldâ crowd pretends doesnât exist, despite wrecking millions of lives.Â
– Immune Debt â A fake concept pushed by anti-mitigation folks to justify mass infection. The reality? Repeated infections degrade immunity over time.Â
– Immune Dysregulation â The real consequence of repeated Covid infections: a weakened immune system, increased susceptibility to other infections, and long-term health risks.Â
– FAFO Wave â When a new variant sweeps through, hitting those who âmoved onâ the hardest…Â

This brief was prepared to support patients who continue to take precautions against SARS-CoV-2 and/or report
symptoms that may be downplayed. The evidence summarized below reflects current peer-reviewed science on the
effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the brain, immune system, cardiovascular system, and overall functioningâeven after mild or
asymptomatic infection.
Covid-19 FAQs
(In)Frequently Asked Questions: COVID-19
Are you tired of âliving with COVID?â I am. Weâve been dealing with this virus since early 2020, and itâs not going away anytime soon.
April 2025, Renee Despres PhD, MPH
COVID could be over â but itâs not. Wecould have stopped this long agoâbut instead,
we pretended it was over, which guaranteed that it would never end. We pretended that vaccines were the magic bullet that would end the pandemic. We pretended we didnât need to take any precautions and we could go to restaurants, bars, packed concert halls, fly in airplanes packed like sardines, and send kids to crowded, poorly ventilated classrooms.
After all, who wants to wear a face mask, test, isolate when sick, avoid restaurants and
bars, homeschool, your kids, get vaccinated at least once a year, and turn down invitations to parties? Itâs a lot easier to just pretend the wholething is over â until it isnât…
Safe In Person Gatherings
We Own it to Each Other to Create Safe and Accessible Spaces
Safer In-Person Gatherings is what we should all want. The Peoples CDC has published this guide that offers strategies for safer in-person gatherings.
COVID-19 is airborne and in our efforts to be together, we do not want to leave behind those who cannot access indoor and in-person spaces during this pandemic.

How to Talk About Covid
How To Talk To Your Loved Ones About Covid
So, you love someone who has stopped taking Covid precautions (or never took them to begin with)
What are you going to do now? If youâre here, youâre concerned about keeping your community safe. But how? What do those conversations actually look like? This guide is a template for navigating these emotionally-charged and difficult conversations. It attempts to put you on a good path for teaching others what you know while encouraging mask wearing, doing what you can to protect your community, including yourself.
We are speaking across a huge divide.
Everyone who has stopped masking is living in a different version of reality than we are. In their minds, Covid is over. Or milder, or a problem for the sick. All around, restaurants are open. The bars are open. The mall is open. False ânormalcyâ is everywhere.
Case Law Database
Open-Access Case Law Database
Among the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis, countless legal issues are at the forefront. The Covid-19 Litigation Project aims to provide an overview on a worldwide scale of the case law resulting from challenges against government measures to fight the pandemic.
The Most Important Lesson of the COVID-19 Pandemic
SARS-CoV-2 Changes Brain Structure
SARS-CoV-2 is associated with changes in brain structure in UK Biobank
There is strong evidence of brain-related abnormalities in COVID-19. However, it remains unknown whether the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection can be detected in milder cases and whether this can reveal possible mechanisms contributing to brain pathology. Here, we investigated brain changes in 785 participants of UK Biobank (aged 51â81 years) who were imaged twice using magnetic resonance imaging, including 401 cases who tested positive for infection with SARS-CoV-2 between their two scansâwith 141 days on average separating their diagnosis and the second scanâas well as 384 controls.Â
