This has primarily been restricted to social media (e.g., getting people deplatformed) but it has also been weaponized in real life (e.g., getting medical licenses revoked).<\/p>\n<p>\u2022This coordinated campaign was the result of a \u201cnon-profit\u201d known as The Public Good Project (PGP), which was actually directly linked to the pharmaceutical industry. The PGP used the industry funding it received to defend industry interests.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Vaccine safety advocates were able to get into the group where these campaigns were coordinated. There, they discovered numerous public figures working hand in hand with healthcare workers to descend like a hive of bees on anyone \u201cpromoting misinformation.\u201d Likewise, we learned that the most belligerent doctors we keep encountering on Twitter belonged to these groups.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Some of the influencers advancing PGP\u2019s message through \u201cShots Heard\u201d (and its sister United Nations initiative \u201cTeam Halo\u201d) were hucksters who faked their own credentials. My overall impression from looking at everything was that this group operated in a very similar manner to many of the sleazy internet marketing operations I\u2019ve seen in the past. Fortunately, the public appears to be seeing through what they did.<\/p>\n<p>Almost any viewpoint can be \u201cproven\u201d using the \u201ccorrect\u201d evidence and logic. Purely as a challenge, I\u2019ve successfully done this in the past with beliefs I consider to be abhorrent and completely disagree with&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vast Pharmaceutical Conspiracy to Silence Online Dissent Millions of dollars were spent to weaponize the public against all of us Story at a Glance: \u2022There has been a coordinated campaign to attack and defame anyone who has spoken out against the COVID-19 response.
