This is nothing new to those of us in the low-carb world. Nutritional research is pretty abysmal on the whole, for a variety of reasons including corporate influence and careerism. With Covid, more people have noticed. I suppose that could be considered a silver lining.

Yup. Whether it's the terrible impact of the sugar-laden, low fat diet, the links of the childhood vax schedule to autism and other maladies, treatment of Lyme disease, the danger of statins, or the Covid vax, the response is the exact same, outright gaslighting. People who question the official narrative are ridiculed as crazy and dangerous.

It dawned on me the other day that all five of them are the direct result of government/corporate cronyism, and all five directly resulted from the government vociferously telling us to do the exact opposite of what turned out to be true. Also in all five cases, smart people saw through it and "did their own research". Lastly, in all of them the government will never admit it was wrong (and it likely caused Lyme with biological weapon experiments).

People labeled Atkins as a menace to society, but it turned out that low carb actually worked very well and wasn't a gimmick. Fortunately, we had people like Gary Taubes who really dug in and got to the bottom of what was going on. Atkins was one of the first who said, "yes, they are all wrong and misleading you and I'm right" who turned out to be totally vindicated. The gov't has slowly backed away from low fat by pretending it never happened, they never have admitted it was a mistake.. The ADA still has sugar-laden recipes for diabetics, just telling them to ensure they "cover" it with enough insulin injected. LOL. They turn off comments on their posts because people openly mock them now.

This corrupt system is finally falling apart, the covid vax might just be the final straw.
